"DRUG TALK !"
The Most Important thing in any Drug
store-THE GRADE IN DRUGS AND
CHEMICALS.
N U M B ER O N E

To illustrate what we mean, let us suppose
that a child is taken with Pneumonia. In
Pneumonia, as you know, the lungs quickly
congest and prevent breathing; death is by
suffocation: the fight is to keep the lungs
from congesting. A drug frequently pre-
scribed in Pneumonia for the special purpose
of keeping the lungs from congesting is Car
Donate of Ammonia. 1t is also used in faint
ing spells and nervous spasins.
Carbonate OF Ammonia comes in little cubes
about the size Of loaf sugar Jumps. These
cubes vary III clearness according to their
purity. The various grades run from a
yelowish powdery cube, having no medi-
cinal value, to a hard surface cube that i'm
parts singing sensation to the tongue
Every grain being active and costing four or
five times as much as inferior grades.
OF course the amount used in a prescrip-
ton is so small that it does not effect the
cost of the prescription. We have taken
this one drug as an example OF many that
we might have taken to show you how inn
portant it is that you have your medicines
prepared at a drug store which has your con-
fdence; drug store you are sure will only
use the best grade Of every drug and chemi-
cal prescribed by your doctor Life is too
precious to risk for the sake Of saving q few
pennies-and even then the pennies are not
always saved.
We have only this to ask: That you bring
your prescriptions and recipes to us and
watch to see if the medicine does not bring
the best results, acting with a certainty that
inspires your confidence in our work
We have laid emphasis On prescription
work because it is the most important feature
in any drug store-any good drug store. All
else is secondary.

Superb Effrontery.

superb EnFonteFy.
The effrontery Of Senator Hansbrough and his or
gan in charging anybody with being tool OF cor
poration is so stupendous as to be superb. 1t ind
Gates quality that can only be ascribed to genius
A commonplace would never have thought of It,
Or is it another illustration of the fact that fools
step in where angels fear to tread? Anyway, 1t IS
remarkable. Mr.. Hansbrough got into the senate in
the first place by the support of corporations and
he has been kept there by corporations ever since
That he was willing and obedient servant of the
railroad companies that had elevated him to po
sition of power has been SO thoroughly well known
that people have ceased to comment on It, They
have taken it as matter of course, as one of the
things so familiar not to require talking about
1t is equally well known that in the senate he has
been thoroughly under the control of Aldrich a
member of the Rockefeller family, and the manager
in the senate of the affairs of great corporations
And yet we find Hansbrouah row, on the eve of an
other election, calmly ignoring everything that has
gone before and charging opponents with being I'M
der the very influences that have always governed
him He has various occasions vented his on
Congressman Marshall and charged him with being
corporate tool.-Grand Forks Herald.

Produce Prices Going Higher.
FROM the figures of report by the
bureau Of labor there has been ex-
tracted the interesting fact that sale
prices of nearly everything reached a
higher level last year than at any time
curing the last eighteen years, and the
farm produce leads all the rest.
The bureau divides the 258 commod-
tiles of the country into nine groups
and farm produce showed the highest
increase In price attained by any Of
the groups. And the encourag ing feat
ure Of the report is that the panic Of
last year did not affect prices of farm
stuff very much. In fact, taking every
thing sold, the farmer got more money
in 1907 than the average of ten years
before
Som farmers may not know this, but
it is true, because Mr. Powderly's bu-
reau says so. Aside from the musty
figures of a departmental report, the
fact is evident that the farmers of this
country are more prosperous than they
have ever been. 1t is shown in better
houses, bigger barns, fatter bank ac-
counts, fewer mortgages, better ma
chinery, and, more important than any
thing else, higher standard Of living
for the family.
There is one small fly in the ONT
ment, however, and that is the fact
that while farm produce has been rails
ing in price, clothing, implements, lum-
Der and building materials, house fur
nishing goods and some other things
farmers must buy have gone up, too.
But as these commodities have not
kept pace with the advance in the
price Of things the farmers have to sell
they may on the whole feel that they
are gaining ground and that agricul-
ture is not to be despised.

SHORT METER SERMONS.

Love disarms death
No truth is learned until it is lived.
Uprightness is mostly a matter of
backbone
The heart of any reform lies in the
reform of the heart.
The religion that goes farthest be-
gins with those nearest.
It's hard raising fruit in the heart
that is filed with freight
Lazy people are always loyal to the
letter of the Sabbath law.
Many man keeps his hands white
at the expense of his heart.
Each days chances to serve are OPP
portunities to offer sacrifice.
Half Of a new truth is better than
the whole of an outgrOwn one.
Some men have faith in God only as
refuge from the fear of men.
The hardest test of love is what it
does with the unlovely and unloving.
Folks who are most hungry for fame
often give others nothing but blame.
There are churches where the poor
est way to make heaven attractive
would be to call it the home of the
eternal choirs.

OUR COMMON LIFE.

Romans, xiv. Z.
Whatever we have, we have through
the aid OF others; all that we have, we
have for the aid of others. OF our own
unaided strength we could gain or
make nothing. Holding aught that we
have for our own exclusively, it be-
comes as nothing to us. Cooperation
in production and sharing in use and
enjoyment are the twin secrets of
rightly adjusted harmonious living.
Forgetting either of these simple
principles we come either to inner mis-
cry or to outer failure. We never can
get along with life unless we will take
it on its own terms; invariably these
are mutual service and sacrifice. Ev

to all others and gains its life FROM

Handling AIfaIfa's Crop.

Methods of handling the alfalfa crop
from the time Of seeding until it is In
the barn in the form of WeU-cured hay
are given by the Wisconsin Station bull
letin. In brief, it is as follows: The
hest soil for alfalfa is a rich clay loan
over gravelly subsoil. 1t is best on
Wel-cultivated soils. If the nitrogen
forming bacteria are not in the soil,
the soil should be inOculated. Spring
sowing is the best. Where ground Is
inclined to be weedy use a nurse crop,
barley SOWn at the rate of three packs
to the acre being the best. Thin seed
Ing Of the nurse crop is preferable.
Twenty pounds of alfalfa seed per acre
recommended. The year following
the seeding three good crops of hay can
Oe expected Cut when about One-tenth
OF plants are in bloom and on a morn
ing after the dew has disappeared on
day that promises fair weather. Cut
Nubble at least an inch high. In the
AFTERNOON of the day cut, rake and put
INTO small cocks These cocks can be
covered with light cotton duck caps
and left until the hay is thoroughly
cured.

To Kill Quack Grass.

Ouack grass is sometimes known as
Johnson grass, and also by other
names. 1t is useless to attempt to get
rid of it after the land has been plant
ed to a crop. Now is a good time to
consider fighting it. Pillow the land late
in the fall, just before winter begins.
Pillow just deep enough to get under the
roots, leaving as much of them as pos
sible exposed to the frost of winter.
These exposed roots will be destroyed.
In the spring harrow or rake over the
roots repeatedly, doing the work over
and over again until almost every root
is removed. and then plant the soil to
notatoes or corn and give thorough Gull
tiVation.

his mother" And with that tender kisA
on his lips the fair boy died happy, fall
ing into the long sleep that knew no
waking as calmly and peacefully as
when, in other days, he had fallen
asleep in his own little bed, and his
own dear mother had bent over him and
kissed him goodnight There is anoth-
er little soldier story, not so pathetic,
that happened In another country. A
recent traveller to Spain, writing in
Blackwood's Magazine, describes q
touching scene witnessed at the depart
ure Of q regiment for Cuba. All day
long there had been heard the measured
tread Of soldiers marching through the
street; all day long gayly bedecked
boats had been passing to and from the
vessel that was to take them to Ha
vana. The twilight had begun to deep
en- when the correspondent saw "a
startling and pretty slght"-the impet-
uous action Of portly, good-looking
and well-dressed lady, who noticed q
young soldier walking dejectedly alone
down the pier in his travelling gray,
with a knapsack strapped over his
shoulders. All the rest of the men had
friends, their novias mothers, relatives,
and made the usual gallant effort to
look elated and full of hope. This lad
had no one, and it might be OWNED
that he was carrying desolate heart
over the seas. The handsome woman
burst from her group Of friends, took
the boys hand, and said: "My son has
already gone to Cuba. He Is in the reg
iment of Andalusia, and sailed two
months ago. You may meet him, Pope
c.: take this kiss to him" She leaned
and kissed his cheek. An English boy
would have shown some awkwardness,
but these graceful Southerners are new
er at loss for a pretty gesture and
prettier word. The boy blushed with
pleasure, and still holding the ladys
hand, said with quite natural gallant
ly, without smirk or silly smile: And
may not take one for myself as well,

little nervOusly, and bent and kissed
him again, to the frantic applause Of
soldiers and civilians, while the boy
walked on, braced and happy.-New

The beautiful old wartime song, LET

born of an incident in a hospital filed
with the wounded and dying strangers
in a strange land, who had left happy
homes and loving friends to achieve
victory or meet death on the field Of
battle Among the dying was fair
haired youth, mere boy, whose beauti-
full eyes looked far away into new

and whispered the word mother"
There was nothing gentle hands, med

had wandered; but a sanity woman

Restoring Gettysburg Field.

To preserve in their original shape
the features of the battlefield Of Get
tysburg, the Gettysburg national park
commission In its annual report says
large tracts of woodland have been
purchased old road lines have been so
altered that they now parallel the lines
of battle and positions Of both armies
have been marked by guns Of the kind
used in battle.
Markers giving the organization Of
the army OF the Potomac and the army
of Northern Virginia have been set up,
and iron tablets designing the lines Of
minor organizations on both sides have
been erected The principal roads in
the battlefield have been completed, con-
Meeting points Of interest
The commission in carrying forward
this work has kept in view the purpose
of preserving the features of the battle
field, as they were during the battle,
and also rendering all parts Of it &C.
cessible, particularly to military officials
and others making a study of the posi-
tions and movements Of the troops.
