How Sickness Comes.

Most fatal slcknesses have their beginnings in a simple "cold" or in a slight cough.
 Consumption first shows in a cough.
 Bronchitis is accompanied by a cough.
 The first stage of La Grippe is a "cold."
 Pneumonia Is preceded by cough and violent "cold."
 Croup-that terrible malady of childhood-comes solely as a condi- tion of a "cold."
 Rheumatism generally follows neglect after exposure and the con sequent "cold" or cough.
 Kidney Troubles, including Bright's disease and other fatal com plications, are often due to a "cold" which settles in that region.
 And there are countless other grave sicknesses which are rec ognized by the medical profession as having their direct or indirect cause n a neglected "cold" or cough.

Linonine is blood food-the most helpful thing In all medicine for you. More than one hundred thousand dollars have been expended in mak- ing this FlaSseed Emulsion the most perfect food medicine in the world.
 Linonine Is not a secret remedy the formula Is on every bottle. It is a palatable emulslon-sweet as cream-made of the oil compressed cold from the finest, selected Flax Seeds and imported from Bombay. Flax Seed grown elsewhere is not good enough for Linonine.
 This Flax Seed oil made in this special manner is combined with other healing and bodybuilding ele- ments and by series of intricate, scientific processes, requiring 12O hours, is emulsifed into its delicious cream form. Children and adults alike speak of Linonine as being "sweet as cream" Physicians have prescribed Linonine for years.

It remains for this most extensive and progressive department house to arrange the very thing most helpful for Christmas shoppers They call it gift room," and everyone is raving about it. It is always somewhat of problem to decide what to give to men friends, but here are host of things to suit masculine tastes. And as for women it has been planned for them especially.
 You arrive at the "gift room" by way of the elevator from the carpet room and you immediatelyIsurrender to its charms. The walls are hung with Oriental rugs, artistic pieces from Tur- key, India, Persia and "Araby the blest." Shaded electroliers give a mellow light through artistic stained glass. There is the gleam of brass and silver, the sparkle of cut glass in crystal cabinets, and the glow of gold encrusted Bohemian glass.
 A black lockwood table from Bombay bears glittering silver candelabrum with five candles under red and silver shades. There is "dower chest" of massive oak, hand carved; sewing table of solid Tobasco mahogany in colonial style, ana the. drawers with their tiny inner compartments for spools and small things are perfectly finished and satiny smooth. A folding card table is of dark weathered oak with felt top. This table is large enough for "good game, for it will hold pipes, tobacco jar, and steins.
 There are cabinets with choice bits of china and porcelain; cellarets with decanters and glasses; chahng dishes, teakettles for afternoon tea in the drawing bowls, jugs, and odd plates that are not too good for con- mon everyday use.
 There i s sturdy old-fashioned chair . that is copy of the Plymouth Colony style. There are mahogany and maple skipper chairs" The pictures at tract, especially those childhood stud ies by Jessie Wilcox Smith, Red Riding Hood looks with round eyed wonder at the wolf face under the nightcap snug
 gled in the pillows and says, How large your teeth are, Granny" There is a whole series of these, each one prettier than the other. A parlor cabinet holds some odd ornaments, belts, buckles, chains, lace and pearl fans, gold bags, jeweled combs ana hairpins which are exclusive and without doubt cannot be duplicated. A smal! mahogany tea table, kidney shaped, holds an exquisite tea set of Pecock china in green and white. There are poker and bridge sets. writ ing desks with leather and bronze writ ing sets, calendars, etc. .
 Go and see the gift room, :" for it is beyond description. Visitors are welcome and visit does not im- pose purchase. But you will want to purchase. You will want to buy everything in reach in your tour around the room, and there are articles to suit all purses.

SHOP EARLY! DON'T WAIT!

SHOP EARLY! DON'T WAIT!
 This sage advance should be needed by all who expect to buy Christmas gifts. Nothing can be gained by put ting off buying until later. Rather does waiting involve making selections from greatly depleted stocks, annoy ances inseparable from shopping in a crowd, and, to hurried buying what frequently leads to disappointment on the part of those for whom gifts are thus purchased. Early shopping makes buying pleasure instead of burden, and Meigs & Co.,, in common with oth- CT stores, urge it upon their thousands of friends and customers. At this famous store, the stocks of good gifts for men are in the fullest possible var iety now; good gifts for boys are in abundance, and the whole range of acceptable gifts for men to be found in frst-rate mans store is now to be had at Meigs & Co. s to better advan- tage than will be possible next week. If you want leisure for selection, if you want undivided attention from salespeople. if you want delivery early enough to make you safe from disap- pointments or mistakes, if you want to avoid the big crowds and the hurley hurley of the ten days before Christ mas, if, in short, you want to do your Christmas shopping tn the sane, mod ern way, then heed Meigs & Co.'S ad- vice, "Shop early", Don't wait. !"

barment proceedings had been start
ed against him there and held up.
People who r UNFOLDING Egan are
going against the decisions of three
circuit judges and the Supreme Court
and not one of the judges was pre-
JUDGED against him in any way. 1t
certainly cannot be charged that
Judge Smith, of Mitchell, was pre-
JUDGED in any way and his decision
was certainly a strong one against
this man. The Supreme Court has
been even stronger and they had the
evidence taken in the disbarment
case and also the main evidence in
the case before Judge Smith to con-
slider. 1T is time nov that everyone
dropped Egan. He is nothing any
where and his attempt to influence
the Supreme Court by his petitions,
loving-cup, and now by his lecture
tour, is something that should be
frowned upon.

May Change Apportionment.

Pierre special: If the next census
In this state holds out on the figures
on population, as shown by compari-
son with school population figures.
and which are further sustained by
the returns of the 1905 census as
compared with that of 1900. there
will have to be a shifting of leisla-
tive representation in the state when
the next apportionment is made. The
southeast counties of the state have
since organization held the majority
OF representation, but the total num-
Der of both houses Is limited by the
constitution to 1876 members of the
lower house and forty-fve members
of the senate, who shall be appor-
toned on a basis of population. With
a population in the southeast, either
at a standstill or slowly decreasing,
and in the north and west rapidly
increasing, the future apportionment
will give added strength to the new
er sections of the state and as the
number Of members is limited the
only way to get the new representa-
tiop is to pry it loose from the older
counties and it will take some prying
before they will let go of the advant-
age which they have always had in
the state in legislative matters.

FOR A GYMNASIUM
University Students Have Begun an
Active Campaign for 1t With
$4,000 in the Fund.

$4,000 in the Fund.
For some time the University Y
M. G. A. has had a considerable sum
of money on hand which they have
been planning to use as a nucleus for
a building fund. The money has
been increasing year by year until
now it is over $4,000. Nothing de-
finite has been planned as to the dis
position of the money until recently
when 1t was decided to build a COM
bination Y. M. G. A. building and
gymnasium. A new gymnasium is
the most pressing need of the school
and to combine that with an Asso-
citation building would be a very de-
sirable addition on the college campus.
To bring the matter to a definite
head the proposition was advanced
in the morning chapel exercises a
few days ago and pledges passed for
the students to sign. The pledges
provide for the annual payment of
81 dollar each year and the securing
of other subcribers to the fund.
Pledges approximating $1,000 were
raised from the students and faculty.
A line of campaign to obtain the nee
essary funds is being devised and be-
fore long will be under way.
