safety lay in leaping from the load,
which he did, and fortunately cleared
the wagon and escaped injury.

What may turn out to be death for
one man and states prison sentence
| for another, resulted from booze-fest
at the farm of Tom lesson in North
east Koshkonong last Saturday. 1t has
been difficult for us to get the exact
facts concerning the affair, but as near
as we can learn from all sources the
story runs about as follows: 1t appears
| that to celebrate the completion of his
threshing job, lesson had secured sew
eral kegs of beer and quantity of
whiskey and the day being rainy on
Saturday the gang of men gathered
there for work had nothing to do but
! consume the wet goods. Under the in
fluence of liquor an old grudge was re-
newed between John Hadrick and
| Bert Heth and after harmless quarrel
Heth started home. Hadrick thinking
| himself still unrevenged, secured a
butcher knife and followed Heth to his
own doorstep where he attacked him
with the knife, infiicting two gastly
| wounds on the face, one across the
breast and one across the abdomen, be-
sides severing the cords and arteries of
one of the wrists. Heth's wife and
| two sons came to his assistance, per-
haps only in time to save his life. A
Fort Atkinson doctor was called to fix
up the wounded man and he was later
| taken to hospital at Jefferson, where
he is in a precarious condition.

Curing Cold in Advance.

We get sick because we are too lazy
to keep well, according to DR.. Woods
Hutchinson in Woman's Home Com
panion for October. We are always
looking for short cuts to health. Oh
reputed cures for coughs and cold, he
says:
s'Their name is literally legion, for
hardly drug can be mentioned, hardly
a substance discovered, which is cap
able of being swallowed or inhaled,
t. /. has not been recommended as a
cough remedy. Eight-tenths of all
colds are mild infections, which run
their course until the body has time to
produce an antitoxin or antibody to
stop their further progress. AS this
process in reasonably healthy individ-
uals is usually carried out in from four
to six days, anything which happens to
be given in that time stands fair
chance of getting reputation as a
cure.
ssThe only cure for colds and coughs
is to avoid the infections and the foul
air of ill-ventilated rooms and buildings
in which they breed; to keep the body
toned up to fighting pitch, by cold
baths and an abundance of fresh air,
especially in the bedroom; and if the
infection does get a foothold to assist
Nature in her fight against it by rest
in the open air, and promoting elimina-
ton through the skin, bowels and kid
neys.
In fine, don t tinker with symptoms;
look for the cause, and remove it..
Don't try to lock the stable door after
the horse is stolen, but train your horse
to bite strangers. Attack is the best
defense. Keep your body at good
fighting weight, and you can defy dis
ease. Sunlight, food, fresh air and ex-
ercise are the only cure-alls known.
Don't worry about disease and what to
take when you're sick, but work for
health.

There is more Catarrh in this section

put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

No Boycott, They Say,
Is Advocated.

In a communication signed Gen
traI Trades Council" published else
where in this paper today, the writer
denies that the previous open letter
from the same source which Tie
Journal commented upon Friday, ad-
vocated 8 boycott of those merchants
who failed to close their stores Fri
Gay afternoons.
The Journal is glad to know that
those responsible for the article did
not intend to advocate a boycott, -''fu
the hglt of the general understand
ing OF that expression" whatever
that understanding is. 1t would now
suggest that no boycott Of any kind,
whether of the general understand
ing Of that term or any other under
standing, is necessary. What Pensa-
cola needs now is cooperation and
harmony. and IL a merchant or any
one else wants to do business on Fri
day that is his privilege.

more needed to build up every city
and town in the area named than
thrifty, money making and money
spending farmers.
The Journal would cite an instance
where this is proven. Plant City, in
Hillsborough county, is only eighteen
miles from Tampa, the largest city in
South Florida, with which it is con-
nected by hard driveway and by the
Atlantic Coast Line railway. One
might reasonably suppose that such
close proximity of town to a city of
Tampa's size and trade Importance,
would retard its growth. And so it
might have done, except for the fact
that Plant City is the centre of a busy
trucking district and many carloads
OF berries and vegetables are shipped
annually from its freight and express
Offices. These shipments enrich the
planters who naturally trade, to a
large extent, in the town whence they
ship their goods. As a consequence,
during the past five years the post
Office receipts of Plant City have
doubled, ana there can be no safer in
dication Of growth.
The Journal believes that the pro-
posed fair win be of fnestimabIe bene-
ut to Pensacola and to the entire sec
ton. 1t should be made an annual
institution and if its management
rests with the capable and hard work
ing citizens who have taken hold of
it at the present time. the speedy re-
suit will be not only an increased
number of settlers on farms, but cap
ital will also be attracted to he in
vested in manufactures and other in
dustries-the natural outcome of an
understanding of the advantages of
location and Of the impetus which
will be given by up-to-date advertis-
ing methods.

The Tri-County Fair
A Wise Inspiration.

Few pleasanter or more inspiring
things have recently been brought to
the attention of The Journal than the
plan for a tri-county fair October
next which has been inaUgurated by
well-known business men Of the city
The counties expected to take part in
the fair are Escambis and Santa Rosa
counties, Florida, and Baldwin county,
Alabama
It is proposed to awaken wide
interest throughout the three-an in
terest which is to be confined to no
one class OF citizens, but which is to
include those in every field of indus
try. And we take it for granted that
steps ara 10 be taken to give the
project the widest advertisement, TO
secure special railroad rates and, in
fact, do all things necessary to at
tract outsiders to come and view the
present productions of these counties,
agricultural and Industrial, and grasp
an idea Of the great potentiality for
development inherent in every foot of
the section covered.
A complete exhibit of the soil pro-
ductions of the counties will in itself
be a wonderful attraction for home
seekers; and surely there is nothing
