What We Can Do.

Whe following beautiful ar.
ticle is a copy from Geo. w.
Egan. American Republic" Of
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, a
Weekly Magazine, of marked
ability:
1--WE cannot run this world.
We cannot change a law of the
universe nor control the plar-
cts as they roll on in their Or
bets to the end of time. The
glory of the sun and the gran
dure Of the stars are beyond
our ken or comprehension. We
cannot add to the fragrance of
the rose nor detract from the
beauty of the Utmost tints of
the lilac blossom. With nature
and natures God, we poor, weak
creatures can little interfere,
nor are we of much moment or
consideration. But to the lives
of our fellowmen we are all and
all. How much love, joy and
sunshine, peace, happiness and
glory we could bring to the
hearts of those about us if we
would but try. If we would
displace Se]fishness by Gener-
osity, SANDER by Praise, Lies by
Truth, Hatred by Love, and tear
from our bosoms the demons OF
Greed and Jealousy, Avarice
and Ignorance, we could make
this old world a fit habitation
for Gods noblest handiwork;
and by lives of Righteousness
bring tears of joy to the eyes
of Him who broke bread with
beggars, slept in the bush and
sweat blood in the garden of
Gethsemane, that thieves,
crooks and grafters of this plan.

Eternal Life. We can do this!

In every country town there
is a sign at the railroad cross
ing like this: "Look out for the
cars" Now, everybody knew it
was a railroad crossing the day
the line was laid and finished.
When the sign was put up it
took two days for every inhabit-
ant to become familiar with it.
In a week every small child
could read it backwards. Did
the railroad take it down? No
if they had the warning would
have been forgotten in a week
and smash up and damage suits
would have followed. One
time advertisements act the
same way. You must keep
everlastingly at it, like the
railroad crossing sign.

Atchison Globe Reveals Se=
cret.
A former chief Of police of
Atchison, the Globe says, had a
wide reputation because he was
not afraid Of women. When a
mad woman called on him and
said, haughtily:: II called to
see you about a little matter"
he promptly replied: Il am glad
you did. There is a good deal
of complaint in your neighbor-
hood about your temper, and |
want to say that if l hear any
more about it l will put a stop
to it in way you won't like"
etc. In short, the secret is
the chief chewed the
rag first, and kept at it with
out giving the woman a chance
to say a word. Men should
remember this when approach
ed by a mad woman, the man
should attack first, and keep
quarreling until the woman
cries.

In the roles of Raphael and
Adam, Mr.. Middleton set a high
mark in oratorio singing. His
voice is admirably adapted to
the work, and his technique
and Interpretation were of the
highest order. Two solos may
be mentioned as bringing into
particular prominence the quail
tiles which mark all of his sing
ing the air, "The Foaming
Billows," and the recitative in
which the appearance of the
living creatures is decribed.
The contrast between the dra-
matte and heavy beginning of
the former and it's soft, gentle
close emphasized the adaptedil-
ity of Mr.. Middleton's techni-
que, but also his delicate appre-
citation of the aria. In both
selections his enunciation was
wallnigh perfect. In the little
details which mark the differ
ence between the great and the
near great in singing, Mr.. Mid
dleton is rapidly working into
the former class. His impro-
vement since his first appear
ancei in Calesburg is remarkable
and is a source of pleasure to
those who have confidence in
his career.-Knox Student.

Proper Business Way.

Messrs. d. B. Peterson, G. G. How
lett and E. D. Krape, Lumber town
ships new auditors evidently believe
in turning the full lime light upon the
financial management of the several
township districts and this week give
to the public in the columns of the
PRESS full and concise statement of
their audit of the Poor District and
Township Supervisors, thereby en-.
abling every taxpayer to set by the
fire and scan the expenses of their Of
ficials and "take account of stock".
Lumber township has for years been
very carelessly managed and achen a
report of any of the districts was made
it was stuck up in some place seldom
seen. The present officials of Lumber
believe in turning on the light and are
to be commended for the business
tact displayed. Clear, concise and
public statements printed in the coun-
ty papers are the surest plan to be
pursued, and will result in a saving to
the Taxpayers.

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Loss of Appetite or Distress After
Eating Symptom That Should
not be DiSregarded

EdtiHS symptom nat should
not be Disregarded.
Appetite is just natural desire for
food. Loss of appetite or stomach dis
tress after eating indicate indigestion
or dyspepsia. Over eating is a habit
very dangerous to a PERSONS good
general health, and Unsuitable appe-
tite is sure symptom of diabetes.
1t is not what you eat but what you
digest and assimilate that does you
good. Some of the strongest, heavi.
est and healthiest persons are moder-
ate eaters.
There is nothing that will create
sickness or cause more trouble than a
disordered stomach, and many people
daily contract serious maladies simply
through disregard or abuse of the stom-
ach.
We urge everyone in Emporium who
is suffering from any stomach derange-
ment, indigestion or dyspepsia,
whether acute or chronic, to try Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets, with the dis
tinct understanding that we will re-
fund their money without question or
formality, if after reasonable use of this
medicine, they are not perfectly salts
fed with the results. We recommend
them to our customers every day, and
have yet to hear of anyone who has
not been benefited by them. We hon
estly believe them to be without equal.
They are made from the prescrip-
tion of a physician who devoted all his
time to the study and treatment of
stomach troubles. They give very
prompt relief, neutralize the gastric
juices, strengthen the digestive Or
gans, create good digestion and assimi-
lation, naturally regulate the bowels,
promote perfect nutrition, and create
permanent cure of all unhealthy
symptoms.
We urge you to try 25c. box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives
15 days treatment. AT the end of that
time, your money will be returned to
you if you are not satisfied. OF course
in chronic cases length of treatment
varies. For such cases, we have two
larger sizes, which sell for 45c, and sec.

schwab Continues Optimistic.

Speaking at the monthly luncheon
of the Detroit board of commerce,
Charles NJ. Schwab declared that the
present cutting of prices in the steel
industry would not be of long duration
or of great momenst. He predicted
that in 10 years the consumption of
steel in this country which in 1907 was
$4,000, 900 tons, would reach 40, ,000,0 900.
The manufacture of steel cars has
only begun, Mr.. Schwab said, and the
building of steel ships has not even
made beginning in view of what, he
said, may he expected when the next
congress has acted upon the question
of ship subsidy. 1t takes nearly a
thousand tons of steel rails per day,
said Mr.. Schwab, merely to replace
worn out rails.

halted him. We hope they have the
right party and that swift justice be
dealt them-the rope.
