Grip Quickly Knocked Out

"Some weeks ago during the severe
winter weather both my wife and
m ntracted severe colds which
speedily developed into the worst
kind of la grippe with all its miser-
able symptoms" says Mr.. J. S. Egles-
ton of Maple Landing, Iowa. "Knees
and joints aching, muscles sore, head
stopped up, eyes and nose running,
with alternate spells of chills and
fever. We began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, aiding the same with
dose of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets, and by its liberal use
soon completely knocked out the
grip" These Tablets promote a
healthy action of the bowels, liver
and kidneys which is always beneficial
when the system is congested by a
cold or attack of the grip. For sale

Good In Texas

Oh, life down here in Texas is a thing Of
happy signs.
Forests whisper in the breezes and the
knocking bird replies,
AND the miles and miles of prairie lay all
smiling to the sun,
Breaking into blossomed pillows where
the perfumed breezes run;
And it's good to live in Texas where the
winds are happy signs,
And the gulf breeze is as grateful as is
sleep to weary eyes.
It Is good to live in Texas when the
bloom Is on the peach
When the glory Of her melons Is in
everybody's reach,
When the morns come softly stealing
tippy-toed to where you doze
And your eyelids touch as softly as the
petals of a rose;
Down in Texas where the glories from
the arbors dip and swing,
And the night comes down in glory ane
the little children sing.
Aye, it's good to live in Texas where the
smiling fields recline,
Blossom etched and blossom bordered
reaching to the sky's far line;
Where each day is like each other and
the nights are drenched in dew,
And the sky is purple azure with bright
stars a-blinking through
And the cheek of every maiden is as
blooming as a peach,
And the glory of the melons is in every
body's reach.

THE RIVALS LEGACY

The river was licking the piles of
the old wharf in a caressing sort Of
way, the sky was black overhead, and
occasionally a few big dreps of rain
fell out of the heavenward murkiness
and spattered the planking of the
wharf in the glow of few dim lights

had felt deep loneliness ever since.
And tonight, as the roar of the river
filled his ears, he was thinking of what
might have been.

Dent felt a tug at the corner of his

The child hurried away, and Dent
followed closely. Half a dozen blocks
up the street, they turned into an al.

At the top of third flight of stairs
the child opened door.

Dent put his hand upon the chld's

the woman half raised herself on the
bed and fell cringing and moaning to
the farther side.
"She's got off again." said the child.
"She was talkin' sense all right when
she sent me after ye."
John Dent had stopped and was
gazing at the woman on the bed.
Great Heaven!" he exclaimed un-

his words and looking up into his

ward the door.
'I'm glad you're going to stay" she
said, "'cause it's lots of bother to
wait OH sick folks"
When the child was gone, Dent went
to the bedside. The woman, stlil
cringing against the wall at the back
of the bed, stared into his face, but
there was no light of recognition in
her eyes.
"Kittie," he began, tenderiy. don't

But there was no reply, and only a
vacant stare met his eager inquiry.
Dent stood moment by the bed

loom and down stairs, having closed
ind locked the door behind him. In
asfew minutes he returned and found
the woman still in the cringing posi-.

cup of water he again went to the bed.
"Kittie, you're to take this medi-

But the woman only stared. Dent
waited a moment; then, setting down
the cup of water, he reached over and
took the woman in his arms. Then,

Under this rhythmic rubbing and

while the rain poured upon the roof,

Pipe Dreams over a Christmas Pipe
If, as some scientists assert, the
nativity, the death, and the resurrec-
ton of the Christ Child is a myth, it
is myth that has added more to the
happiness of the human family than
all the scientific facts discovered since
creations morning.
More lives were lost in burning
Christmas trees this season than were
lost playing foot ball, but we are not
going to start any movement to abolish
Christmas trees and get the children
of the world universal on our back,
commencing with our own. We are
reformer all right, but we are no
martyr.
When boy gets testament for
Christmas present when he wanted a
pair OF skates, it is then he wishes
his parents were heathens.
Christmas eve is the ehildren's
harvest; Christmas night the doctors
reap theirs.
If, during the last year, you have
added even little to the sum total of
human welfare you have not lived in
vain.
1t is we'll to make good resolutions.
If one is kept out of each million
made the world is that much gamer.
Blessed is the man whose heart is as
light as his pocket-book this glorious
holiday time.
Thinking to impress the beauty OF
giving on our ten year old boy we
asked him to give us case where it
was more blessed to give than receive
and he promptly replied 'In case of a
spanking" and the lesson was
abandoned.
The first great jolt to childhood's
faith is the discovery that Santa Claus
is fable.
A reform that would please small
boys would be to eliminate speaking
pieces at Christmas.
When mans wife gives him a fire
kinder for Christmas present is
the time he envies mis- bachelor
friends.
Not the least blessing of Christmas
time is the fact that men are too busy
to talk politics.
To give expecting something in re-
turn is not giving but barter.
There are lot of young men who
would like to have a young lady put
her feet in the stockings they hang up.
People who have everything they
want take little pleasure in Christmas
anticipations.

DEALERS IN OATS
TAKE TOO MUCH
State Railroad and Warehouse Com :
mission Call Attention to Illegal
Practice; 80 lbs. to eusheI.

A common habit of stealing oats is
called to the attention Of the farmers
and grain dealers of the state in cir
cuIar issued recently by the state
railroad and warehouse commission.
Complaints have come to the commits
sion that buyers are taking thirty
three or more pounds of oats for
eyery bushel and then selling at the
terminals at thirty-two, the legal
weight for oats. 1t is stated That both
clean and dirty oats are bought at the
same weight and sold at the terminals
without dockage. The commissioners
say they will prosecute where proper
complaint and evidence are brought
to show that any buyer is taking more
than the legal weight for oats.
The Letter
The letter from the commission
says:
"There are many complaints COM
ing to this Office claiming that in
many places in the state grain buyers
are taking SO and SO 1-3 pounds per
bushel when buying oats. The legal
weight for a bushel of oats is 81
pounds, and the taking of any other
weight unless by special contract is
made misdemeanor under the law.
The facts are that all oats is sold at
the terminals at 80 pounds per bushel
and the taking of more than 80 pounds
when buying in the country is an in
justice and practice which should
be discontinued at once.
"Some buyers make the excuse
that it is on account of the dockage.
This excuse is not tenable, because
the extra weight is taken from the
farmer with clean oats as also from
those with oats containing much dirt.
Again, there is no dockage on oats
at the terminals.
"We respectfully urge all grain
dealers to buy ell oats on 80 pound
per bushel basis.
Advice to the Farmer
"Our advice to the farmer is to re-
fuse at all times and at any price to
sell at any other weight than 80
pounds per bushel. The farmer with
clean oats is entitled to the full mar
ket price, and if his oats contains a
large amount of foreign matter, he
must expect to sell for a reduced
price.
1.-THE commission will undertake
to prosecute any case where proper
complaint is lodged supported by evil
dence that will convict any buyer OF
taking more than the legal weight for
bushel of oats, except by special
contract. If the farmer refuses to enter
into the contract, the case seems easy
of solution.
"The only way one can know that
he is getting the market value is to
have grain bought and sold in the
country, and at the terminals on the
same basis. st. Cloud Times.
