DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he can
do till he tries. When a thing
ought to be done the modern
spirit moves us to keep working
away at it until it is done. In
the face of this idea the ssimpog-
sible" vanishes. Where there's
a will, there's way. eff we
could but rob cod liver oil of
its sickening taste and smell and
then combine it with two or
three other ingredients we should
possess the best remedy in the
world for certain diseases that
are now practically incurable."
So said q famous English physi-
clan twenty-five years ago. "But
it viii never be DONE" he added.
"You can no more turn COZ liv-
er oil into a palatable medicine,
than you can turn the Goldfish
itself into a Bird of Paradise"
Yet he lived to admit that in
W,ANPOLE'5 PREPARATION
the "impossible" had been ac-
complished. 1t is palatable as
honey and contains all the nu-
tritiye and curative properties of
Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by US from fresh cod livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites, Extracts Of
Malt and Wild Cherry. This
remedy is freed from the bad
peculiarities DR.. rockingham so
detested, and it is precisely the
splendid medicine he wished for.
Use it freelr and confidently for
Hysteria, Wasting Complaints,
Blood Impurities, Asth-
ma, and Throat and Lung Trou-
bles. DIR. w. FL. B. Atkins, Ply
stefan to Toronto General Hos
piral, says: 81 am much pleased
to state that the results from
using Wampole's Preparation of
Cod Liver Oil have been uni
formly satisfactory; it appealed
to me as being prepared accord
ing to correct scientific princi-
pies. f." It increases the appetite

STILL TALKING
 ABOUT MUDDLE
CITY ATTORNEY AND GREGG NOW BELIEVE THAT THE ALDERMEN HAVE NOT LEGISLATED THEM. SELVES OUT OF OFFICE.

Is the theory advanced by aldermen and attorneys to the effect that the ma jority of the city council in adopting the municipal code legislated themselves out of office and that there are but nine legal members of the board correct?
 This is the all absorbing subject of conversation and discussion. The admin 1stration aldermen are of the opinion that it is a strong point and when Mayor Ward returns they will suggest that. as well as numerous other grounds on which the fight against the antis can be fought.
 However. the majority instists that there is nothing in it. All Thursday aft ernoon they had their lawyers at work on the subject Alderman Gregg went into the question thoroughly, and, togeth- CT with City Attorney E. D. Smith, came to the conclusion that the aldermen will all legally hold over
 An important question at issue is weth- CT the two ordinances first adopted, one after the other conflict in any way. Greeg points out that both have different fields of action, the first. after the general cleo tion next year, and the second, between now and that election There are many other very minute points which will have to be worked out.

FINDS TEXAS CROP
 IN BAD CONDITION
VERsENA MAN MAKES TRIP OF INSPECTION AND SAYS COTTON ls MUCH WORSE THAN HAS BEEN REPORTED.

F, A. Gulledge of Verbena. has just returned from trip to Texas, where he went to Inspect the cotton crop in the interest of the Southern Cotton asso- ciatlon, The trip of inspection was made from Meridian to San Antonio. along the Vielisburg, Shreveport and Gulf and Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas railroads, and a lew side trips. The trip between these two points was made entirely in day light, and Mir Gulledge got Into com munication with representatives of prac- tically every town on the route, getting the opinions of anywhere from two to twenty men in every town.
 MT Gulledge thinks the conditions are from b to 20 per cent worse than any Of the previous reports given out He re- ports tEat the conditions are so bad that It requires from three to seven acres to make bale, and that in Hill and Me Lendon counties Texas, 1t will require at least ten acres to the bale
 In talking over the matter yesterday, MT. Gulledge said:
 The cotton crop for the whole state of Texas, with the exception of 100 miles square with It. Worth as its center will barels- equal one-half the usual crop. This territory around Ft. Worth I do not believe will make over 75 per cent of the 1905 crop. Knowing these lands as I do, and having inspected them two years ago, l believe my opinion is correct The general report from all over the state given me by the travelling statesmen and fr4Uplinp fn he with my estimate of Texas
 From Shreveport 100 miles west into Texas, the crop has been almost entirely destroyed by boil weevls Some reported to me that it will require from eight to ten acres to make a bale. and the uni Versal verdict is that it will require an average of six acres all over the state, with the exception of this 100 miles around Ft Worth.
 One man from Bee county reported that one of his neighbors last year made sixty-seven bales who with the same cul- tivation and land this year has only gnned nine bales and will only get two more. Another man of different section reported that his neghbor, a one-horse farmre, getting thirteen bales last year, has now finished picking and only se- cured two bales
 Making a further crop is impossible as there is no growth and hence no bloom.
 Louisiana from Nicksburg to Monroe is reported on a universal verdict as not to exceed half crop. In the vicinity of Monroe and west to Arcadia, there is only three-quarters of a crop. West of Arcadia fifty miles to Shreveport, which includes all of the Red river bottoms, and which will average bale to the acre in good year, hasn't made pound 10 the acre since the first day of August, the boil weevil having completely cut it off.
 "On the 9th instant l ate dinner with John Sencel who lives on the bank of the Red river and who has 100 acres in cotton, Mir Sencel is one of the most scientific and up to date farmers l have ever seen. and he reported that his crop under the most favorable conditions which could exist in future would not exceed 40 per cent of his 1906 crop.'

bility that in the following year first
the Farmers Union, then the Prop

the borough councils presented pc

should be embodied in law without

year the home secretary introduced
a measure which was passed anani-
mously by both houses of parliament,
and became law last March.
This rat law is now in full swing.
Under the act the state undertakes to
spend 1,60G pounds annually for three
years, and compels the county and
borough councils to spend 3s.. Sd.

COURAGE.

True courage has so little
to do with anger that there lies al
ways the strongest suspicion against
it where this passion is highest. True
courage is cool and calm. The brav-
est of men have the least of brutal,
bullying insolence, and in the very
time of danger are found the most Sc
rene, pleasant, and free. Rage, we
know, can make coward forget him
self and fight; but what is done in
fury or anger can never be placed to
the account of courage.

may be regarded as the standard work
on the subject and the Official dec
laration Of the international war
against the rat. A few weeks ago
he had the great satisfaction of Sec
ing this theory accepted in the report
issued by the plague committee ap-
pointed by the secretary Of state for
India. This document states con-
clusively that the rat (ILdian varie-
ty, Alexandrinus), owing to its hab-
its Of wandering about and its liza
bility to invade inhabited houses and
places where food is stored, is of
all agents the most dangerous in
spreading the plague germs from
house to house, and even village to
village. "Unless, therefore," says
the committee in effect, "the destruc-
ton of rats is carried out with the
utmost energy, it will be vain to
get the plague under control"
Having published. in 1893, his first
book, entitled, "The Rat and Civil
zation," and placed his views before
the Danish people in a series of
newspaper articles, he was invited to
call q conference of men interested
in the subject either on economic
grounds or those of public health.
The conference took place, and re-
suited in committee being formed,
with Zuscblag as president, charged
with acquiring ''war chest" and
promoting his scheme.
While Zuschlag does not discOur-
age the employment of either trap,
poison, or shillelah, for that matter,
against the hated rat. he says: "All
measures will be devoid of perma-
nent value unless the campaign is un-
dertaken at the same time over the
whole of the kingdom. You must not
forget that among other difficulties
We have to deal with the enormous
fecundity CT the rat. From one pair
Of rats We get in twelve months a
progeny of 800. Ii each town coun-
ell acts Independently of all others,
it is bound to happen that council B
will breed rats while councils A and

nally, no permanent good can result
from our efforts in Denmark unless
our neighbors and other countries
make similar effort. AS long as

BAD METHODS REBUKED.

Judge Alexander R. Mullowney, IN
he District Branch of the Police Court
last Thursday gave singing rebuke
TO certain officers of the police for the
reprehensible methods that were resort
ed in making a whiskey case. The ev-
idence showed that these whiskey cases
were made by two or three stool pig
cons, with no corroborative testimony,
and Judge Mullowney scored the othcers
for resorting to such methods in making
whiskey prosecutions.
The cases were party heard, or rather
the disorderly house case was partly
heard in the United States branch OF
the Police Court. and dismissed, and
when Judge Mullowney was informed
of the fact and when the same defend
ants were brought before him he very
promptlv dismissed them and sdiG that
he would not encourage oficers when
they fail to make cases in one court to
bring them to another court.
