Good Cough Medicine For Children.

The season for coughs and colds is now
at hand and too much care cannot De

risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is

One Argument In Favor OF
The School Tax.


The argument used by some against
the school tax. that many people are not
able t. pay their taxes now. will lose
much of its force in the face OF certain
fact. Last year was hard crop year,
as was the year before. Our people are
Door, of that there is no doubt. But do
we realize that now is the time when
We need help? Do we realize that il
$500 is thrown into circulation in our
town in the next two months. our peO-
pie will all derive benefit from it? Ii
$4,000 is deposited in our bands for a
new school building within the next
three or four months, and then this mo-
ney gradually distributed among our
people for labor, hauling, and building
material. will it not help us all p? Will
1t not give money with which to pay,
not only our school tax. but all our
taxes in 1910? We know that this era
of depression Of business cannot last al
ways. Prospects are bright for good
crops this year, and better time. are
coming. Let us vote the tax now, get
the money for it in circulation while we
need it. and pay for 1t as we grow in
prosperity.

SATURDAY. MARCH IS, 1910.
The High School Tax.


1t is with some satisfaction that
we have noted during this week
that tho opposition to the High
School tax is fast disappearing,
and We firmly believe that by the
time of the election the opposition
will have entirely disappeared.
We know that the taxes in this
town are very high already, and it
is a hardship to many of our poor
people, but this tax of three mills
for ten years lie a small tax, and
besides, we feel confident that the
criminal tax imposed upon us du,
ring past years will be taken off
and taken out of the regular town
taxes, as many of our citizens will
make test Of this tax,
The parish has no legal right to
tax town property; our criminal
expenses must como out of the re-
gular ten mill town tax, the law
makes no other provision, for
these reasons We feel that the
school tax will only increase the
present taxes by one half mill.
The need of a High School bull.
ding is recognized by every one
and We feel satisfied our people
will recognize this fact and give q
solid vote for the school and VIZ
hope that the closing exercises Of
the next term of our High School
will take place in the auditorium
OF our magnificent brick Higl
School which will be erected in .
central location of the town.
Let us make up our minds tina
We need the school; We want th'
school; and We must vote for it

"A petition is being circulated
here asking the town Council to
order an election for the voting OF
a special tax of five mills for ten
years, to raise $3O,5OO, to raise
$4,000 for the first three years and
$500 for the remaining seven
years. The tax is asked in favor

The Earth'S Envelope.

The new science of the air is the
result of many hundred kite and
sounding balloon flights made bv
day and by night in fair weather
or foul, over land sea, at all sea-
sons of the year and from the
equator to the arctic circle. Most
people knew that the warm air
surrounding the earth is only a
thin belt, but most of us do know
that at ten miles above the earth
it would not only be bitterly cold,
but tho sun would appear quite
different.
The air is stratified in three
more or less distinct layers. In
the lower we live. 1t extends about
two miles and is a region OF tur-
moil, whimsical winds. cyclones
aud anticyclones. At two miles
the freezing point is reached, and
then there is a second stratum *
tending upward for about another
elk miles. Here the air grows
steadily colder aud drier, the low
est temperature recorded being
1877 degrees below freezing point.
Hero the air moves in great plane
tary swirls, produced by the spin-
ming of the earth on it's axis, so
that tho wind always blows in the
same easterly direction.
Thegreater the heights the more
furious is the blast of this relent-
ness gale. After this layer comes
the third or isothermal stratum,
discovered almost simultaneously
by M. de Bort and DIR. Assmann.
This is called the permanet inver-
sion stratum, because the temper
allure increases with the height
reached. But the temperatures 30
far recorded in the second stratum
are not high, being lar below zero
Fahrenheit. generally somewhere
from 122 degrees to 14O degrees
below it.
i Here the air no longer swirls il
a planetary circle. The wind may
blow in a direction contrary to
that in the second layer. And the
air invariably is excessively dry,
Where this third stratum ends nc
one knows. But it must be a
more than eighteen miles above
the earth. For sounding balloon,
have reached this height and have
; not found the end of the perma
} nent inversion layer of air. Whel

ROOSEVELT SPEECH
STILL A SENSATION
PRESS QUESTIONS PROPERTY OF
CRITICISING ENGLAND'S POLICY.
CONCLUSIONS, HOWEVER, ARE DE-
TENDED BY CONSERVATIVES.

LONDON, June 1.-Mr Roosevelt
speech at Guild hall Tuesday continued
today to be the sensation of the news
papers throughout the country
The editorial comments upon his startl-
ing utterances concerning British rule
III Egypt were influenced as rule by
craftsmanship. The Conservative press de-
tends the conclusions drawn by the
American statesman while the Liberal
papers oppose his deductions with equal
seriousness
But outside the questions Of fact set
forth, the newspapers almost without ex-
ception challenge the propriety of for
elgn guest Of the city criticizing the CO.
lonial policy Of the empire. On the com
ments of the Conservative press the fol
lowing are samples:
The Globe: 1T was not the time nor
the place, nor was the ex-President the
person to display this particular form of
interest in the business of his host
The Pail Mall Gazette: The uncon-
ventional is justified only by success. If
he prefers realities to the prOprieties
where vital interests are concerned, SO
does the judgment of the British people.
The Standard THAT he should lay
hands on one of the nations private and
particular political subjects seemed So
cIal crime not far from sacrilege but in
reading the speech carefully there is
found nothing of which to complain
Of the Liberal papers, the Westminster
Gazette questions the necessity and dis
agrees with the conclusions of the speech.
The Star says that Mr. Roosevelt
should learn that be is not exempt from
the customs Of civilized nations"

visited the National gallery during the
forenoon and had luncheon with several

party. The former President will be a

A DRY WEATHER DRINK.
An Unusual Way for Birds to Satisfy
Their Thirst


One evening last summer ] got out
the hose to give the thirsty garden a
drink and. as it turned out, the birds
as well. 1t was after a very warm day,
one of the many we had during the long
drought. The ground was like powder,
and vegetation, dropping and shriveled
from the heat and lack or rain was
plainly in distress.
After wetting down the tomato plants,
the hose was turned on another part of
the garden Up to this time l had not
noticed a bird about, in fact had not
given them a thought; but now, on turn
ing my attention again to the tomatoes,
I saw several sparrows hopping around
among the dripping plants. At first |
could not understand why these birds
had gathered around where / was at
work. but upon looking more closely the
mystery was soon solved. They were
after a drink. and knew how to take
advantage of the opportunity to get it.
Of course, the water that fell on the
ground soaked in almost Immediately and
disappeared, but that on the leaves would
collect in big drops on all the points,
where it would hang, and here was
where the birds were getting their drink
1t was amusing to see the thirsty little
creatures hopping and fitting about
among the wet plants, pecking at the
great drops, looking for all the world
as if they were feeding on some sort
of crystal berries. Thinking to help
them. I turned the hose their way again;
but this seemed to be too much Of a good
thing, and they quickly fitted out of
reach, only to be back as soon as the
hose was turned away. How these birds
knew what was going on | cannot say,
but probably they were in the nearby
trees. and, when they saw water coming,
concluded it was for them as well as
the plants. The little fellows certainly
knew how to get it even though it was
somewhat unusual way of drinking.
