MILLIONS IN COTTON STALKS
A Fine Quality of Paper Can Be
Made from Them.

The cotton plant is a wonderful
thing. It's valuable qualities are man

in receipt of a specimen OF fine note pa
per made from the stalk of the cotton

to the Record Congressman Howard

About two months ago I..requested

Kausans have taught new art IN
the construction of their pavilion In
the palace of agriculture at the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition.
1t is the art of using products OF the
field even as minerals are employed In
nosaics; as art of inlaYing with cereals
inst Al gems are used in ornamental
tion.
70 the decorations that are thus
wrought the visitor learns that nature
has tinted kernels of corn all the col
ors of the rainbow, that the husks can
be woven and pleated to the same ef-
feet as dainty fabrics; that stalks
when polished, take on more luster
than does bamboo cane when similarly
treated, and that poppy seeds can glis-
ten even as agates DO.
The central piece of this Kansas pa
wilton consists of platform thirty
feet from the ground, supported on
four square columns and bearing a
steer that is six feet tall and twelve
feet Tonga steer made of corn, yet so
true to life as to give the impression
that the natural hide, hoofs and horns
have been preserved by the tax

Corn kernels of four cOlors were used
in the construction of this novel steer
light and dark red, white and blue,
the latter for the eyes and the tips of
the horns. Every kernel was applied
separately to the surface and the
shading SO artistically done that the
best Judges of cattle in the west have
not only pronounced the work perfect,

Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any precaution or treatment, and a
knowledge of this fact leads others to
take their chances instead of giving
their colds the needed attention. 1t
should be borne in mind that every
cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vi
tality, makes the system less able to
Withstand each succeeding cold and
paves the way for more serious diseas-
es. Can you afford tostake such des-
perate chances when Cham berlain's
Cough Remedy, famous for its cures of
colds, can be had for a trife? For sale

STRUCK DOWN.
Slain in the Hour of Success.

The Indian who trailed the hunter
silently and secretly through the woods,
often played with his victim as cat
plays with mouse. Just i'll the moment
of the hunters success, the blow fell !;
silent sudden, swift.
There are certain forms of disease
which seem inhumanly malevolent.
Like the Indian they seem to play with
the victim, until some day when he has
reached the height of success and is
thinking to take life easy" disease
strikes him down, perhaps never to rise
again, or mayhap to drag out the re-
mainder of existence in ply pain
and privation.
The best example of such nalevolent
disease is found in dyspepsia and allied
forms of stomach trouble" Not long
The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1904-04-21

ago the newspapers were calling atten-
ton to one of the richest men Of the age
working in his garden like a common
,aborer for his health sake and for the
same cause living absteniously on diet
which laborer would despise. There's
q conspicuous example OF the class OF
people whose success seems almost fail
ure But how many people are struck
down fatally in the hours of success,
no man can absolutely say. Stomach
~failure" means heart failure, the failure
of kidneys, liver, lungs and any other
organ, inasmuch as each and every organ
of the body is dependent on the stomach
for its nutrition and therefore for its
vitality. For this reason no vital stats
tics can ever give the nu:nber of those
who fall victims to disease Of the ston-
ach and the other organs of digestion
and nutrition, because the cause of their
decease is charged to other organs dis
eased through the stomach.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
Is it cweak lungs. weak" heart,
kidney "trouble," liver "trouble" or dis
ease of any other organ! You will find
that in general, if You trace the disease
back it originates in a diseased condition
OF the stomach ana It's alied organ VI
digestion and nutrition. The best proof
of this is that diseases of heart, liver,
lungs, kidneys, etc, are constantly being
cured BY Or. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery which. is primarily and chiefly
a medicine for the cure of diseases OF the
stomach and of the blood. The body
and all its organs are sustained by food,
properly digested and assinilated, which
when converted into blood forms the
nutrition by which physical life is re-
uewed day by day. and meal by meal.
