THE coUNrRY's BIC WASTE ByLL

An item that looms formidably in the
nations family expense account is for
liquor and tobacco. No one will have
the hardihood to contend that these
are necessities. In 1905 distilled, malt
and vinous liquors to the total of $5O1, =
266, sos were produced in the United
States, while $40, 257, 900 worth were
imported. These are wholesale prices
and so represent less than half the ac-
tual cost to the consumer. For example
we drew So, TAI go barrels of 81 gallons
each of beer IN inc year ending June
30, 1908. Taking the average sized
glass and making the average allowance
for foam, quart of beer will fill five
glasses. At five cents a glass, then,
our beer as it was served over the bar
last year, must have cost 81, 821, III, $50
Making all possible allowance for beer
at a cheaper rate the bill would be a
billion and a half at retail prices. The
aggregate debt Of the states and cities
of the United States in 1902, the last
period for which figures are available,
totaled 81, 864, 1876, 500, or just about
what we spend year for beer. From

A Public Benefit
Viroqua People Greatly Inter
ested in A. J. Jchnson's
Generous Offer

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 A. j. johnson drug store has a
firmly established reputation for square
dealing and sterling honesty. When
they told the people that Rexall Rene
dies are the purest and most dependable
medicines that it is possible for modern
science to produce, and that they would
tell the public what each one of these 300
or more remedies contained, and that
they sold Rexall Remedies on their per-
sonal guarantee that they would give
entire satisfaction or they would not
cost the uEer single cent, they were
believed.
Ever since this announcement the
A. j. johnson 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 is the best
policy.
There is no "cure-all'' among the
Rexall Remedies. There are different
and separate medicines, each one devils
ed for certain human ailment or a
class of ailments closely allied For in
stance Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are re-
commended for the positive relief of
stomach irritation, Indigestion, flatu-
lency and dyspepsia. They are rich in
Observation-Disclosures, Pepsin and Car
minatives. They are prepared by spe-
cial processes which perfect and en-
nance the great remedial value of these
well-krown medicinal agents. This
remedy sells for Is cents, so cents, and
81. 90 per package. Every one suffer-
ing from stomach disorder should try
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, inasmuch as
they cost nothing if they do not satisfy.
Remember, the A. J. Johnson drug
store is the only store in Viroqua where
these remedies may be obtained, and
every one in need of medicine is urged
to investigate and take advantage of
the frank and generous manner in which
they are sold. The Rexall Store. A.

THE TRUE SPIRIT


President Taft is straight, square
man. He does not expect to agree
with every man or to be agreed with,
but he plays open and fair and he never
abuses other men for disagreeing with
him. The San Francisco Argonaut,
who does not see things in just the
same light as the president does, has
the candor and fairness however to say
this:
"Truly it is a blessing to have in the
presidential Office a man whose methods
match the gravity of his purposes, a
man who works by reason, persuasion
and cooperation rather than through
the melodramatic processes u conten-
ton, passion and evil acclaim.
Compare this estimate made by So
called progressive" paper, with the
methods pursued by Senator La Fol-
lette for instance, in his attacks on the
president Here we have but very lit
tie else than contention, passion and
evil acclaim" And we are told that
the constant scolding, wrangling and
fault finding, is the very essence OF
modern craftsmanship.
Abraham Lincoln met with just such
opposition. There were plenty of mer
who denounced aim, and who declared
that he was a traitor to his country.
Ohio furnished two eminent men who
called him all sorts of names, one a re-
publican and the other democrat, Der
Wade and Vallandingharn. But nobody
today believes that either had any right
to talk as they did. The sober second
thought of the people will come to the
same conclusion concerning the mer
who are bowling the roof off" about
President Taft. He is an honest man,
too honest to hate and abuse people be-
cause they do not agree with him or
matters of public policy. Probably il
win be too much to hope for, that Wis
consin viii have any let up to this game
of fusilade politics for some time to
come, but there are lot of people who
are getting tired of it. -Ex-Governor

Biographical Calendar.

James Nasmltn one or the greatest
of the many great born in
Scotland, made his first appearance
in Edinburgh 101 years ago today.
The steaIn hammer was his greatest
invention, N il made his name ia
nous throughout the world. He died
in South Kensington, England in 1890
James Nas:nith was 10th of a fami-
ly of IL children. His father was a
Scotch landscape painter of consider
able repute. but James did not in
herit the taste for brush and easel.
AT a very early age he gave album
liant evidence of his trend toward
mechanical pursuits. AS a boy it was
hard to find him at any time without
some kind of a tool in his hand. The
very first child of his inventive
brain was brought forth when he was
scarcely II. 1t was a small engine,
which he had constructed for grind
ing his theirs colors and which hal
been wrought out under the most un-
favorable conditions and with the
crudest sort of tools.
The list OF James Nasmith's inven-
tons is a long one. among which may
be mentioned, as most prominent, his
safety foundry ladle, suction fan for
the more perfect ventilation of mines
a reversible rolling mill which dis
penses with the fiy-wbeel and at the
same time handles enormous plates
and bars of ron and steel, a steam
engine adapted for screw steamships,
but the team hammer is the corner
stone of his fame.
After serving several years with
the leading engineering firm of Lon
don, he established the famous
Bird gewater foundry and began bIsi-
ness for himself at Manchester in
1884. Five years later when the ship
yards at Bristol were engaged to CON
struct the steamship Great Britain.
Mr.. Nasmith received an order for a
large paddle shaft with which to
equip her, and quickly saw h neces-
sity of some method of forging other
than any hitherto employed. He put
in motion his inventive mind and in
one-half hour he had mapped out the
whole contrivance in all its intricate
detail. The resul was the steam
hammer.
Mr.. Nascnith did NOT at once ecog-
nize the value of his invention for
other uses and it was neglected until
a French-nan constructed one and he
saw it in service. He at once pat
ented it and set about to convince the
lords of the admiralty that it would
be valuable for pile driving in the
construction of docks and bridges.
They were skeptical. however. until
upon invitation they saw n of the
21a ton hammers in operation.
When the lords of the admiralty
had assembled to witness the exhibit
ton the inventor first showed them
the minimum stroke by which he sue
ceeded in breaking an G in a wine
glass without injury to the glass.
This was done to convince them of
his ability to control the power of the
stroke. When however. he let the
