AMERICAS GREATEST CROP.

The government crop report for the
current month with it's estimate of
nearly two and one-half billion bush
els puts this years crop very closely in
the class of the record breaking yield
of 1902. Wheat, tho a short crop, is
estimated at 551,000,000 bushels and
oats at sSS,O0O,OO0. With the millions
of bushels of potatoes and other food

is vastly cheaper than either and Eu-

MIR. HAYDEN'S VIEWS
GIVES HIS OPINION OF THE BEST
TREATMENT FOR PARALYSIS.

Declares That Or. Williams Pink
Pills Restored the Use of His Limbs
When All Other Remedies Failed.
The pressure Of modern life creates
so great strain that few are free from
the dread of using up their supply Of
nervous energy and thousands are all
ready crippled and utterly discour-
aged.
All such will welcome the account
here given of an instance of complete
recovery from a paralytics helpless
state by simple means within the reach
Of every sufferer. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary to say that a remedy which will
cure an advanced and complicated cass
may be employed with still greater
confidence where the premonttory
symptoms are recognized and treat
ment begun at once. These symptoms
are briefly: Trembling Of the hands:
sudden loss Of power in arms or legs,
frequently affecting one whole side oil
the body; staggering; partial or entire
inability to use the fingers; distortion
of the features, sometimes an uncon-
trollable quivering of the chin; sewers
pains; difficulty in speech. Frequently
the first warning is a vague feeling OF
headache, vertigo and muscular weak
ness.
In a recent interview Mr.. w. ]. Il.

his own suffering and cure: II truly

months. had the best physicians, but,
while they relieved my fever, their
treatment did not entirely drive the
malaria from my system, and they did
not help my paralysis in the least.

IDEALS AND NEWSPAPERS.


ing accused the newspaper habit OF
responsibility for low standards o:
ideals. 1t is possible that the arch
bishop scarcely meant to include all
newspapers in his sweeping assertion
for he especially named Il Chicago
journal notorious for its exploitation
Of shameful scandals in a shameless
fashion. If he did not intend to in
clude all newspapers the good arch
bishop. whose own ideals are OF the
tallest, failed to render to Caesar the
things that are Caesars and give rep
utable newspapers the credit they de-
serve.
The fact is that the best newspap-
ers are part of the growth Of good and
good is the crown OF the ideal. Per-
haps no other force is so INCREASINGLY
and forcibly lent to human betterment
than that exerted by the respectable
press. 1t supported and praised
"A
cleaner municipal government In Du-
buque. 1t called for equal opportunity,
clean official hands and opposed wrong
long before Archbishop keane was
born, and will be teaching the higher
lessons of life long after we are all
dead and forgotten. The hurried liter
ature of the daily press is crowded
with wisdom and rife with the best
idealism. It may and does fail in pol
ish, but it does not lack in uplift The
standard of thinking OF the high class
press is not low but high.
But, however high its ideals. the
newspaper must deal with actualities.
It holds a mirror up to life and life is
not ideal. 1t makes the best of ac-
tual conditions, and points out how
they may be improved. 1t does not
attempt to teach the higher quadraltcs
to those who have never heard of the
multiplication table or adapt II Trov-
atore to the tom tom, but its force is
infinite and upward. The church has
had mankind since history began; 1t
has had the newspapers as it's coadjus-
tor and helper, scarcely more than
century, but the condition Of human
ity has changed for the better more
in the last 100 years than in all the
ages that preceded it.
If the newspaper is to be condemn
ed as a mirror of human life, and
events. then life itself is to be con-
demned also. There is no lowering
Of ideals in a record Of the daily life
Of the world which places Its good
and evil, and the rewards and punish
ment Of each, side by side, for COM
parison. There is a sermon In every
column of the daily paper, promise
and a warning in every news story or
good or bad There is not an editorial
page among the class Of newspapers
being considered that does not point
to the higher hope, but the editors
long ago realized that the path to the
ideal begins at the bottom not at the
