Healthy Mucous Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have perfectly healthy mucous men,

The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when in q
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion Of grip.
But, IL there happens to be the slight

mucous membranes, then the victim be-

MORE RESOURCES.

We suppose that Uncle sam Is still rich enough to give us all farm but he isn't going to do it He Is. however, going to sell some farms cheap on the first day of next May. There are 2,lS5 of them and they are a part of the land which has been improved under the na- tional irrigation law They range in area from 10 to 160 acres, In Nevada, in the Truckee Carson Improvement, .0oO farms of so acres can be taken up with an entry fee of sS and 8 an acre annually for fen years. Two hundred farms,tn the umatilla project. oregon, of from ten to twenty acres each, will be disposed of at from $500 to sl,2o0 each. In the Belle Fourche project South Dakota, 175 farms of eighty acres each will be offered, and in Wy oming 200 farms on the North Platte. and 200 on the Shoshone, can be had at from $500 to sl,20O each. It is provided, in accordance with the law, that the buyers must become residents and cul- tivate the land, and all spectators are barred from the sale. It is stated that on these lands the production of irrl- gated crops can proceed at once, and as they are near railroad lines, the op- portunities are considered favorable.
 This is quite an addition to the ere sources" of the United States. and there is much more to come. When the dry land of the country is irrigated and the wet land drained the campaign ora tors will have more to talk about than they have now. And they have much now.

GLOUCEsTER's SEEKING.

Gloucester, Massachusetts, is one of the cities which has long been tired tired of its poor, complicated and cost ly government. So it is apparently get ting ready for a new deal and new ideal, The city council has voted to adopt the recommendation of a citizens committee for a new charter, provid- ing for government by mayor and four councilmen, to be chosen ire spective of ward lines. In addition to these there are to be superintendent of schools and chief of the fire de- partment, also to be chosen by the people The treasurer and auditor would be elected by the council. Thls would provide for total of only sev- en names on the ballot at the election
 This Is a curious programme. The choosing of a superintendent of schools by the people might be democratic enough, but 1t is thought in many places that the less the schools get i'm to politics the better. Perhaps if Glou- cester gets new government she will find that the trouble with her Is her self. Forms of government don't make good government, though they some times make it possible.

COSTLY PATERNALIsM.

The paternal government of this country occasionally gets taken in by shrewd and warm appeals to it's pater- nalism. We suppose the originators and pushers of the Jamestown show would dislike to be accused of having imposed on a generous and coniding government. Probably they didn't mean to impose on it. They believed in the scheme. and they enthusiasti- cally saw in their minds eye streams of dollars coming in to pay the gov ernment with. But as matters stand now the government is about sS60, 900 behind. Contrary to the general be- lief, the government is not the pre- ferred creditor of the exposition com pany, and cannot realize on the prop erty which remains in possession of the bankrupt corporation. Congress loaned the money on the gate receipts, and as the gate receipts did not bring in enough to square the governments account, that ends 1t as far as the gov ernment is concerned It has no lien upon the grounds, the beautiful exhip- it buildings, or even upon the magnifi- cent permanent pier, which was built with government money. Unless it buys in the property, therefore. if looks very much as if the government were doomed to lose altogether in the transaction.
 Perhaps in the end the government will buy what is left of the "exposi- ton It is good property and fl can be used as a naval training station. If it were also used as an object les son against the government getting in to any more such schemes it might be found worth its cost.

The new coach Is seventy feet long, seats eigh- ty-eigllt persons. and has total weight of ffty-elght tons, or 116.o00 pounds The standard modern passen ger coach weighs S4,9O0 pounds. Aside from the mahogany window sash and seat frames there is no wood whatever in the new coach lt is as nearly fire proof and collision-proof as II Is possI- ble to make H. For every passenger carried the new coach has 1900 pounds of open hearth steel Each truck weighs l2.500 pounds.

SMOOTHLY ON ITS WAY.

Still feeding the world. It is cheer ingly announced that project for the manufacture of artificial butter on a large scale has been launched in Vii enna, that one of the principal ingredi- ents of tae butter is to be cottonseed oil, and that considerable market for cottonseed oil in Austria may there fore be expected.
 They say that we already supply the Europeans and ourselves with consid- erable cottonseed oil for use as olive oil. and if they are now going to eat our cottonseed oil as butter they will get a good thing. We hope they will get 1t without fraud. We have no doubt that good cottonseed oil butter will be better than much of the real butter that is made, but of course 1t ought to be plainly marked so that he who runs may read and then run by it if he wants to. Cottonseed oil. made from the seed that was thrown away not very long ago. seems to be going from glory to glory, or, at least. from olive oil to butter.

The Panama canal.

tThe New York Sun.)
 The value of the Panama Canal is not determinable by debit entries of cost of construction maintenance and opera ton and credit entries of toll charge. It is not primarily a money making en- terprise, the worth of which can be shown by a statement of receipts and expenditures. Few have given any se- rious consideration to that phase of the undertaking The returns are In any case uncertain and profit or loss from operation will depend somewhat upon cost Of construction and maintenance. both of which are as yet undetermined items. The possible traffic which will pass through it and the new business which will be created by 1t are equally matters of guesswork. Its commercial uncertainties are no secret. The pos- sibility that 1t may not pay for itself within few years and the fact that fl might not for some time after ;;> completion show a profit on its opera ton have not dampened the ardor for it's construction. The American people want the canal for various reasons, and the American people are going to have the canal Their purpose has not been. Is not and will not be affected by any question of direct profits.
