Coffee Cures Asthma

Coffee is very excellent remedy
for asthma. Those who do not know
how to cut short their attacks and have
not tried coffee should do so by all
means. 1t often succeeds admirably
when almost everything else has failed
There are one or two little points ia
be attended to in taking coffee fol-
asthma.
In the first place it should be very
strong, in fact perfectly black. Weak
coffee does more harm than good. II
made very strong, much of it need not
be taken; large quantity is positive
disadvantage, for it is less rapidly alb
sorbed and only distends the stomach
Then it should never be given without
sugar or milk, pure "cafe noir. |,
should be given on an empty stomach
for when taken on full stomach il
often does harm by putting stop to
the process of digestion.-Family Doc.

surface Of which arise in strange con-

These pots evidently have been formed
by the slow deposition through count

which enter into the composition of the
waters. They grow in height steadily

Pup Eats a Razor Blade

months ago gave Michael Kennedy of
his city, chairman of the Republican
state central committee, wire-haired
terrier pup.

IF BRYAN WERE NOT.

Prompted, no doubt, by the insistent
demand of such journals as the New
York World that the Democratic party
shall throw Bryan overheard, the
Springfield Republican asks the rather
startling question, What would happen
to the Democratic party if Mr. Bryan
were to be killed accidentally on one
of his many railroad journeys, and so
instantly eliminated as a living person
atty and force from American politics
In other words, what would the Demo
cratic party be without the ideas for
which Bryan standsi
Our contemporary finds the question
easier than the answer, but it essay
the suggestion that thu Democratic par.
ty without Organism would consist only
of the "solid south squatting on the
negro" and the Democratic wing of
the plutocracy of the north. The party
would be composed almost wholly Of
those aristocrats whom Mr.. Bryan repro
bates, and we have no trouble agreeing
with the Republicans assumption that
a de-Bryanized Democracy "would be
come nothing but an exponent Of the
strictest conservatism in the treatment
of all the great questions of the day. !"
Such party, of course, would never
be anything more than minority par
~.
To build up n strong and progressive
party, as our contemporary shows, it is
necessary to find room within 1t for
the spirit for which the Bryan move
ment stands. Whether Bryan is elm
mated or not makes no difference with
respect to this necessity. If the Demo
cratic party cannot assimilate the eager
radicals of the west and of the south,
it has no chance of winning victory,
and if Bryan were silent in his grave
the situation would be in no degree
altered. 1t is remarkable that so many
eastern Democrats appear unable TO as
simulate this obvious element of the
political situation, and that they con-
tinue to make themselves ridiculous by
demanding that everything savoring OF
Organism shall be excluded from the
Democratic platform.
We may be sure that the Republican
party will not make an equivalent blum
der. There will be no reputation of
Rooseveltism, ard campaign managers
will take care that the radical wing of
the party is kept within the fold. We
may be sure that whatever strength
Roosevelt has gained for his party will
be preserved by shrewd Republican
leaders. There is lesson in this for
the Democratic faction that imagines
party success lies in bowling down
Bryan and his followers at every OPP

Train Almost Touched Dynamite

William Christley, an expressman, was
,rossing the tracks of the Bessemer and

IMMIGRATION FROM
SOUTH EXPECTED
y. 8. FARMERS ARE RECOGNIZING
SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES
OFFERED BY WESTERN
CANADA.

81. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 9, 190S.-Pres
ent indications are that the Canadian
Northwest will draw an exceptionally
heavy movement of new settlers from
the United States this year. 1t should
surpass the banner record for 1907.
This is not only based on the fact
that the Americans have come to
realize generally that the Canadian
Northwest offers splendid opportuni-
ties. but also because the railroads
have awakened to the fact and are
offering rates to the Canadian North
west which are exceptionally favor
able.
The lines which lead to st. Paul
from the east and south are offering
homeseekers' rates to the Canadian
Northwest this year which are on a
parity with those in existence to the
southwest for a couple of seasons.
These rates can be obtained from
any agent Of the Canadian govern
mant, who will be pleased to give all
Information possible regarding those
districts which offer the greatest in
ducements to settlers. The weather
throughout Western Canada has been
remarkably good this year. A tele-
gram from the winter wheat belt OF
Southern Alberta dated at Cardston,
Alberta, January 10Th, says:
This winter up to January Is was
nothing short of a marvel, in fact, it
was the finest anyone can remember
for twenty-five years though there
have been others nearly as good. The
days were fine, sunny and warm with
light frosts at night. Overcoats and
gloves, etc, were discarded by most
people in the day time. There was
30 little frost in the ground that post
holes could be dug without any trouble
after the first inch was broken
through. Winter wheat remained
fresh and green although there has
been no snow since the September
storm. If there is an early spring,
winter wheat should gain great
start" >.s.E. .-4 L-.gG =, .s--
