Project Your Home Interests.

Lac 1ottoWlng artlcle we clip from
the Geneva Republican which exactlv
comedies with our ideas and matter
that should be lived up to.
1--WE urge our readers to inquire the
price of local dealers before ordering
anything by mail from catalogue
mail order house. And there are
many good reasons why purchasers
should favor local dealers. They paw
taxes to keep up the schools, and
roads and bridges. They contribute
to the churches. They are part Of the
community, aud the money paid the
local dealers helps every kind of local
business. The great mail order houses
pay no local taxes have no interest
in the welfare of the locality to which
they send their goods.
They do not purchase the farmers
produce. 1t is good thing for all
people living in Il community to help
each other, by dealing with each other
and keeping money in circulation in
the community, instead of sending it
away to some great city. Of course. if
they could buy cheaper by sending to
the mail order houses, they would do
so, and it is because they think they
are buying cheaper when they order
things from a catalogue mail order
that they give the cold should to local
dealers, and send their money away
from home. Bat in most cases they
are mistaken. and could really buy
the same things from local dealers at
cheaper prices. Before you send your
money to a mail order house, YOU
should make inquiry Of local dealers
and be certain that you can do better
by sending your money away from
home before doing so. In the long
run you cannot do that, and it will be
In the end to your advantage to buy
the things you want from the home
merchants.

When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free use OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This
Remedy liquefies the tough mucus and
causes its expulsion from the air cells
of the lungs, produces free expector-
alton, and opens the secretons. A
complete cure soon follows. This Rem
edy will cure severe cold In less time
than any other treatment and it leaves
the system in natural and healthy
condition. 1t cOunteracts any tendency
toward pneumonia. For sale by Chas.

Dangerous Adu.teraton Of Feeds

The feed inspection department OF
the experiment station of the Univer
Sity of Wisconsin has recently ascer-
Gained that a shipment of ground rice
bulls has been brought into the state.
AS there is danger that this material
may pc mixed with the different feed
ing stuffs and sold as feed to owners
Of horses of other live stock, the ex-
pertinent station suggests that buyers
carefully examine such mixed food
before accepting them. Rice hulls
not only have practically no feeding
value whatever, but owing to their
peculiar barb-like fibre and the large
amount CT silica which they contain,
are a very dangerous material to feed
stock, for records are at hand showing
that they have even caused death OF
stock The station is desirous of Sc
curing additional information of any
authorizations of the sO-called ground
or mixed feeds, or other feed stuffs
that are being sold in the state, in
O der to warn owners of horses and
live stock against them.
