A PUBLIC BENEFIT
Canon City People Greatly Interested
In the Generous Offer Of The
Mitchell & Rgber Drug Store.

The people have already demon
strated that they would rather trust a
man who Is naturally honest than one
who Is honest only because he had
to be.
The Mitchell & Egber Drug Store
have a firmly established reputation
for square dealing and sterling hon
esty When they told the people that
Rexall Remedies are the purest and
most dependable medicines that II is
possible for modern science 10 pro
duce and that they would tell the pub
lie what each one OF these 300 or more
remedies contained, and that they sold
Rexall Remedies on their personal
guarantee that they would give entire
satisfaction or they would not cost
the user a single cent, they were be-
lieved
Ever since this announcement the
Mitchell G. Egber Drug store has been
largely patronized by people buying
Rexall Remedies. all of which proves
that this store has the confidence OF
the people and that honesty IL the
best policy
There is no "cure-alp among the
RexaIl Remedies There are differ
ent and separate medicies. each one
devised for a certain human ailment
or a class of ailments closely allied.
For instance Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
let's are recommended for the positive
relief of stomach irritation. indiges-
ton. natuiency and dyspepsia. They
are rich In Bismuth- -Subnitrate. Pep
sin and Carminatives. They are pre-
pared by special processes which per-
feet and enhance the great remedial
value OF these well-known medicinal
agents. This remedy sells for 25
cents. so cents. and 31.o0 per package.
Every ono suffering from stomach dis
order should try Rexail Dyspepsia
Tablets. inasmuch as they cost moth
Ing IL they do not satisfy.
Remember Mitchell g. Egber's Drug
Store is the only store In Canon where
these remedies may be obtained. and
every one In need of medicine Ia urged
to Investigate and take advantage Of
the frank and generous manDr In
which they are sold.

prospect of penny cablegrams, gave an ex-
hibition of the Pollak-Nirag system, of
which he is part inventor and which was
once said to be capable of transmitting as
many as 100000 words an hour. That
was the usual overestimate, though in
practice $4,000 words an hour have been
sent between Berlin and Koenigsberg over
distance of nearly 500 miles.
The great feature of the Pollak-Virag
system Is that the message when received
writes itself in characters. which resemble
those of handwriting. The message is
sent on an ordinary Wheatstone trans
mitter, by first punching out a strip OF
paper with the perforations which repre-
sent the letters. This strip is then run
through the transmitter and its symbols
are reproduced electrically at the other
end of the line. Those who have seen an
ordinary Wheatstone message know that
at the receiving end of the line it is writ
ten in short and long dashes, which have
to be interpreted. In the Pollak-Nirag
system the inventors place a telephone
at the receiving end and this
is DETECTED both horizontally
and vertically by the electric impulses re
ceived. Attached TO the diaphragm is a
small mirror, which moves as the dia-
phragm moves. and with the help of a

In another column we print letter
from Alfred Farlow, head of the publicity
department of the First Church of Christ
Scientist in Boston, in reply to some state
ments recently made by Rev. r. M
Houghton of this town in his course of
lectures on mental healing. Reference to
the letter is made here not because of any
of the statements it contains but for the
purpose of calling attention to the highly
organized publicity bureau which the
Christian Science sect maintains. Since
Mr.. Houghton's sermons began it is safe
to say that he has been overwhelmed with
Christian Science literature. The letter
to which we refer was sent in manifold
to local member of the sect by the head
of the publicity bureau in Boston. With
it was request for 10 copies of the issue
of The Reformer in which the letter was
printed. This procedure doubtless is fol
lowed wherever the tenets of Christian
Science are subjected TO question, and the
cost of a system capable of doing this
must be enormous. Many of the gigantic
commercial enterprises like the Standard
Oil, for example, maintain expensive pub
licity bureaus for the purpose of influence
ing public opinion but it is doubtful if
any of them have a better systematized
one than the Christian Scientists.

Grand Trunk Deserves Credit.

The business men of New England can
thank the Grand Trunk railway for stand
ing up for them and their interests in its
determined stand against the proposition
of the trunk lines to do away with the
New England differentials. Whatever nat
ural self interest may have primarily in
spired this opposition, the interests of the
railroad and the shippers are clearly one
in this instance, and the attitude of the
Grand Trunk in standing out for fair
play for this section against such tremen-
dous pressure as was brought against it
should leave a good impression in the
states as to the policy of this great Cana
dian corporation toward the business in

Newspaper Men,


1t appears that the press is not to be
excluded from the Elroy Kent trial. But
then, nothing can hurt the morals of men
who already know everybody's else bust
ness and never tell quite all they know
st. Adams Messenger.
How true this is and how little realized
by the public generally. Folks as rule
suspect that newspapers and newspaper
reporters spend their time hunting for
evil things to print about people. The re-
verse is actually true, at least of country
papers. They try to minimize the evil in
their community as much as possible and
keep the most creditable side to the front.
Work on newspaper brings the worker
into contact with all kinds of people. A
newspaper reporter is the repository of all
kinds of information. He knows what
husbands are jealous and what wives. have
reason to be. He knows what merchants
give short weight and sell adulterated
goods. He knows. the prominent citizens
who are occasionally taken home in
hack. He knows who has good word
for the town and for his neighbors, and
who are always knocking and telling mean
things about their felow-citizens, either
not true or grossly exaggerated. If a
newspaper reporter ever printed tenth
part of what he knows he would be muir
dered inside half an hour.

The general discussion which is now
going on regarding the question of mental
healing gives unusual interest to letter
from DIR. Charles A. Dana published in a
recent number of the Congregationalist.
Even purely mental disorders like melan-
cholia run definite course, according to
this distinguished New York specialist.
He says:
Real meancholia is not affected by
psychic treatment and is not a proper form
of malady for the Emmanuel Movement
There is a certain rather rare type of de
preston, of what is termed psychogenie
origin and not true melancholia, which
may be improved by psychotherapeutics.
The matter is not a simple one, and | am
sure that if clergymen go into the melan-
cholia business they viii soon get into
trouble. | am not unsympathetic to the
religious healing movement, but the work
should be limited to a very narrow field,
mainly that of moral and psychasthenic
disorders. The inspired gentlemen who
think they are divinely endowed "healers"
will eventually do enormous harm to so
ciety and to the clerical profession. The
state also viii not, and cannot in justice,
compel physicians to go through a long
and expensive training before they can
practice medicine, yet let a clergyman
practice without any qualifications what |

The vote of Charles NJ. Hays, president
of the Grand Trunk system, at a recent
meeting of trunk line officials was the only
thing that prevented the abolition of all
existing differential freight rates from
New England according to dispatches sent
out from Montreal. Had it not been for
the stand of Mr.. Hays the special freight
rates which allow New England indus
tries to compete with western manufac
turers on western business would have
been wiped out, a unanimous vote being
necessary to bring about the change.
Since the action of the trunk line heads
has been made public New England's
manufacturers have been protesting vigor-
ously against the project which would al
most ruin their business. That this pro-
test has come to the attention of the
trunk line presidents is evinced by their
action at a meeting Tuesday when they
adjourned without taking further action.
There is actually no reason to suppose
that the Grand Trunk interests will recede
from the stand they have already taken
on the differential question, for the traf
fic of this system is largely dependent on
the prosperity of New England industries.
