are almost as common as the i'll they
seek to cure. Three drugs which arc
used in such remedies have been
known to medicine for less than 2H
years. They are acetanilid,, antipyrin
and phenacetin. Each of them has
the property of easing pain; and one or
the other of them is the active agent
in most headache powders, pills or
draughts. The bureau of chemistry

OLDEST WESTERN STATE.
Wisconsin is Celebrating 275th Ami
versary of Its Settlement.

~ ISCOISlu 10 ON'SS' NN'''S |
versary of Its Settlement.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Pennsylvania is apt to pride itself
upon its honorable antiquity. Not the
first Of the states to be settled, it is
undoubtedly the greatest and most |
now and at all times, since |
aspirations for political liberty were
born on this side of the water. But
there are others. Wisconsin, for in
stance is just celebrating its 275th an
niversary. Not as a state, of course,
but of its first settlement by white
men. In 1884, when the first white
man settled in Wisconsin (not for
Iong) there was not a white man in
what is now Pennsylvania. There
was a feeble, struggling colony on the
James, a small settlement at Ply
mouth, and other pioneers along the
, coast. 1t was almost so years late.
that the first organized settlement IN
der Penn was made in this state, and
by that time there were many white
men in Wisconsin.
We are apt to look upon the Frenho
of today as enfeebled and unambitious
That is simply because they have Civ
en- up development of colonies, outside
of Africa, and are content with their
own country, which is large enough
for the population and is thrifty in
the extreme. But 300 years ago the
Frenchmen set no limit to their am
billions. Their imagination conquered
the world and they set out to do as
much of it as possible. The French
had been going up the st. Lawrence
and the great likes into the Mississip
pi valley for well nigh on to $50 years
before a Briton ever crossed the ALE
grennies. There was a thriving
French settlement at Green Bay, Wis.
before Philadelphia was laid out.
The intention of the French was tc
make the new empire the great asse
of the kingdom. On that point there
was no hesitation by any of the kings
Domestic troubles interfered will
their plans, and finally brought then
to nought. Even Napoleon gave VI
his dream of western empire with
pang. Had not Pitt come to the fore
in time it is safe to say that the sew
en- years war would have ended dis
astrously and we might now be in
heritors of French rather than a
British traditions. There is in WIS
consin remnant of descendants o
the early French voyagers and traders
men of great courage and fertile Il
! resource. Following the national Gus
tom they made alliances with the II
dams, and some of the proudest
names in the history of France ar
now borne by those who are comm or
" called Indians.

HOME TESTING
A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.


To decide the all important ques-
ton of coffee. whether or not it is
really the hidden cause of physical
ails and approaching fixed diseases,
one should make a test of 10 days by
leaving off coffee entirely and using
well made Postum.
If relief follows you may know to a
certainty that coffee has been your
vicious enemy OF course you can
take it back to your heart again, if
you like to keep sick.

HARRY HoLDoRF VICTIM
Is switchman and Had Boarded !
Passenger Train for the Pur
pose q Riding TO
Switch.

Last night at about fifteen minutes
after nine as the K. e w train was
pulling out an accident which resulted
very disastrously for the victim hap
pened. Harry Holdorf, night switch
man, boarded the above mentioned
train at the depot for the purpose OF
riding down to q nearby switch To-
Gated close to the c., B. & Q. yard
office so that he could open 1t and
allow switch engine to back onto the;
main track. The oncoming train from
the south was somewhat late last
night and SO the engineer on the out
going train with view of making up
for lost time started out at fast clip,
much faster, indeed than Is usual.
Holdorf was standing on the platform
OF the rear coach talking with the
brakeman and when the car came to
the place where he was to get off,
not noticing the increased speed of
the cars. jumped off as he ordinarily
would
a severe injury.
When he hit the ground he was un-
allie tn keep his balance and toppled
over very hard, lighting on his right
shoulder blade which broke, besides
injuring his back slightly in the fall.
The injured man did not know what
was the matter with him when he got
up. but, being unable to raise his arm
he walked back to the depot and a
doctor was called and he was taken
home in carriage where he was Civ
en- medical attention. 1t was ucky
that the injured man was on the rear
platform OF the coach for otherwise
he would have had good chance OF
losing a leg as did a fellow SUI ay.
A Peculiar Coincidence.
The accident will keep him from
work for about five weeks the doctor
said and SO it can be seen that 1t was
rather serious. The injured switch
