TRUTH ABOUT
 ACETANlLID Very Useful to Reduce Fe- yer in Bad Colds
DEPRESSES THE HEART
And Is Therefore Too Dangerous For Free Use-Should Not Be Given Except by
 Physician.

Acetanilid has been found to be of ser vice in the treatment of bad colds, since 1t possesses the power of reducing heat production, and, therefore, of controlling the fever incident to inflammation and congestion. But there are two serious ob- jections to its general use; first, it de- creases the vital resistance, and, second, it is a direct depressant to the heart and sedative to the spinal cord. There are re- ported to be many cases in which Acetan- lid caused death through heart fail ure, and it was for this reason that the government elassed it as dangerous drug and required by law that the label of every preparation containing 1t should state the exact quantity of Acetanilid in the preparation.
 This was step in the right direction, but fatalities will not cease until the pub lie become generally informed as to it's danger. The purpose of this article is to show how a cold may be treated simply and inexpensively without the employ ment of Acetanild or other depressant coal tar preparation.
 The right way to treat a cold is to take a warm foot bath and drink glass of hot lemonade on going to bed. Follow at once with grains of Aloquin and support the next day with 1 grain of Aloqufn every hour until 10 grains have been taken.
 It has been found that Aloquin will check the fever without depressing the heart, open the pores and keep the bowels free. Any druggist here should be able to supply original packages of Aloquin in the form of 1 grain tablets.

KING VICTOR HAS
 RAISED SALARIES

Rome, December 5.-(Special Cabla)- King Victor Emmanuel has raised the salaries of all his employees at the Quiri- nal palace and a dozen other royal resi- dences, the clerks getting an increase of one-fifth and the servants one-tenth. This general raise will cost the King about $15,0O0 year.
 The civil list of King Victor is one of the largest in Europe. He receives $3,200,O00 from the state, and out of this he has to pay $S0,000 annually and jointly to the Aosta brothers-the Duke of Aosta, the Duke of the Abruzzi and the Count of Turin; the same amount to the Duke of Genoa, and $20O00O to his mother, Queen Margherita- This leaves him $2,840,00O to keep up the many royal establishments, to pay his fathers debts and those of his grandfather.
 But somehow the King manages to live within his income and to spare large proportion for charity. This, however, does not make him as popular as if he spent it upon lavish entertainments. His subjects sheer at his "middle-class econo- mies, and of his donations to charity they say, cynically: He can well af- ford it."

Orison Swett Marden in Success Maga- zine.
 Prove to me-" says Mrs oliphant, that you can control yourself, and I'll say you're an educated man; and with out this, all other education is good for next to nothng.''
 The lack of self-control has streWn his tory with Its wrecks, it has ruined multi tudes of ambitious men, men of rare abil- ity. fine education, and immense promise in every way.
 Every day the papers tell us of the tragedies that have been enacted when the blood was hot with anger!
 Asked the wretched victims in our peni- tentiaries what the loss of sef-control even for a moment perhaps has cost him. How many of these unfortunates have lost their liberty for life through a fit of hot temperl The fatal blow was struck, the cruel shot was fired, the trigger was pulled in an instant, but the friend or brother man returned never, the crime could not be undone.
 Many man has lost a good position, has sacrificed the opportunity of life time, in fit of bad temper. He has thrown away in the anger of a moment perhaps. the work and experience of years in climbing to his position.
 Think of ones whole life being marred of feeling oneself handicapped at every
 
 aspiration, to be looked upon as a nobody, just because one cannot control his temper, and yet to possess power and brain force equal to that of the giants who are heading great enterprises!
 l know very able writer who nas oc- cupied splendid positions on the best and greatest dailes in the country. He is forceful, vigorous, masterful writer on a great variety of subjects fine historian. and warm, tender-hearted man, who will do anything for any one in need, and yet he Is almost total failure because of his explosive temper. He does not hesitate. in the heat of moments anger, to walk out of position which 1t has taken him years to get. This man is con scous of great ability, yet he has drifted from pillar to post, hardly able to sup port his family, going through life with the full consciousness that he is the slave of a bad temper.

WHAT THE MINISTRY
 OUGHT TO BE

Robert Haven Schauffler in Success
 Magazine
 Would not the first words of the Son of Man be: "Ye are members one of an- other" Would He not lift those three churches above the level of their little pet dogmas and observances into the large, clear atmosphere of the "kingdom," where they would harmonize into one strong church void of financial problems? Would He not drive the sordid, petty competi- tion of rival sectS out of our land as pas- sionately as He drove the competition of rival thieves out of the Temple?
 And would He not have an eye, as well, on the young ministers of today, to see whether they were being trained as He trained those 12 original pupils in His inimitable seminary? Would He allow His modern apostles to focus their whole souls for four years on two defunct languages and such distractions as exegesis, dog matics, apologetics, homiletics, pedagogy, and pastoral theology? Is it certain that He himself could have passed a perfect examination in these matters?
 Or would He have His young pupils come to know, through and through, the whole man, in health and in disease, alone and among the crowd? Would He not found a new sort of seminary today taking His students into the thick of life to show them the far-reaching effects of heredity and environment; how character is influenced by functional and organic disease, and by such social forces as neighborhoods, schools, factories and clubs?
 Would He not lead His classes to such laboratories as the sweat-shop, the saloon, the dance hall and the brothel? Would He not have them study the labor union the apartment house, the farm, the the- atre, the department store, the press, the corporation, and the political club; and corrective agencies, like the prison, the reformatory, the playground; as well as educative ones, like the school, the col lege, the library and the public press?

BREWERY SHARES
 OWNED BY LORDS

London. December 5.-(Spcial Cable.)- An Illuminating commentary on the de- feat of the licensing bill is furnished in a list published showing that 62 of the peers who helped to reject the measure are own CTS of brewery shares.
 The list is not exhaustive, as only 40 or 50 companies out of 200 were examined by the compilers of the list, while debenture holders, who are probably large class. are unknown. In the list of shareholders examined it was found that 140 peers own over S12,000,0 ,000 worth of stock
 Many fantastic suggestions are offered for the purpose of getting square" with the lords, one being to create a wholesale lot of liberal peers and to sweep out the tory majority.

due primarily ro the rarin uncertainty, but comparisons of railroad earnings are showing up well. Some critics hold that these comparisons are deceptive and mis- leading, the figure of a year ago being in the panic season. In answer it is urged that comparisons on a rising scale now are great deal fairer than comparisons during the first part of the year when they were sized up against a period of very heavy business on most of the rail- roads of the United States.
 The comparisons whcih are now being made enable us to get fairly good idea of the gross improvement which has taken place since the extreme low point of the depression of 1907. It is true that this improvement has been largely dis counted in the advance in the stock mar ket and that the figures are not ammuni- tion for a further bull movement at this 5uncture.

The announcement that the new financ- ing of the Frisco road was undertaken by Speyer Bros. instead of Kuhne, Loeb & Go. might have thrown a scare into Wall street if it had not been accompa- nied by a statement that the arrangement was entirely to the satisfaction of the last named banking house. As it is the street is assured that the incident empha- sizes the truth of the oft-reported estab- lishment of close friendly relations be- tween great banking concerns which have in times past looked askance at each other and which sometimes tangled wires to the development of mutual ill-feeling. Now. according to the accepted gossip of the street. all Is well between the giants of high finance and the great cap- tains of industry.
 The dove of peace hovers over the whole financial district Not only has the en- tente cordiale been established between J. P. Morgan & Co., and Kuhne Loeb, but the era of good fellowship has ex- tended also to the Hartman and Rock island camps. Heretofore these two clans have been openly hostile. After four or five years of warfare all Is lovely between them. They all sleep in one bed and under one cover, according to the burden of testimony one hears in the street
 If this be true, and no doubt there is pas1s Tor the talk, the great empire of the west and southwest, which are served by the two systems will be greatly benefited. The Wall street aspect of the case is not quite certain. When the general public hears of the creation of a close commu- nity of interest among the big wigs of Wall street feeling arises that all might not be so well with the outsiders. How ever 1t is recognized fact that when the big interests are at war the outsiders suffer, and therefore it may be argued with some show of plausibility that when the reverse is the case the public should feel safe to browse on stock exchange na sfl1I

A Child of Nature,

It was a primitive home in the Tennes- see mountains, where the kitchen range is still a thing of vague and distant future. Cindy, the capable, buxom and barefoot, performed her duties on the hearth of a yawning fireplace, and deftly raked the coals around the baker, where the corn dodgers were browning A glow ing ember, unseen by all save old Rudd, rolled out on the hearth as Cindy step ped forward with the pot-hook, and he sounded the warning:
