There's nothing so bad for a Cough

will not heal. When tempted to Cough,
draw long breath through the nostrils;
hold it until it warns the air cells. The

The Wall Street Journal has obtained
from one of the government attorneys
employed in the 500 ,240, 900 fine case a
statement in reply to the specious
pamphlet issued by the Standard Oil com.
pany. This pamphlet has fooled good
many business men into believing that
the Standard company has been greatly
wronged. They have been especially
impressed with the assertion that the
six-cent rate paid by the oil company
was an open rate for all alike. The gov
eminent attorney characterizes the as
sertion as lat absolute variance with the
record" and as utterly untrue" and
he presents some of the evidence in sup
port of what he says. 1t is his belief
that the fine will eventually be collected
from the Standard Oil company-the
case against it being too strong to admit
of the company's escape.-Springfield

unknown reason been advanced in his
profession very slowly, though he has
grown gray in the service and indeed
lamentably bald. Recently one of his
juniors was bold enough to question
him as to his remarkable absence of
hair.
How comes it that you are SO very

The officer replied promptly and with
much vindictiveness:
You, man, you would be bald,

The superintendent of schools an.
nounces the determination of the board
of education to enforce strictly its regu-
lation against the high school fraterni-
ties. Every member of a secret society
is to be barred from all public recogni-
ton, being ineligible to take part in any
contest, literary, journalistic, athletic.
The decision to make a rule of the
kind was the result of careful study of
the situation and comparison of opin-
ions of many who have spent years in
teaching. The sentiment is overwhelm-
ingly against the societies as disturbing
elements in school life. They are con-
slant source of difficulty in adminstra-
ton. They exert an evil influence on
their members, so far a scholarship is
concerned. Their moral influence is
questioned more and more as occasional
evidence of misconduct crops out here
