ONE ON THE DOCTOR

A man died and went to heaven.
When he arrived at the pearly gates,
says the American Druggist, he said
to st. Peter:
"Well, I'm here"
st. Peter asked his name.
John Evans" was the reply.
st. Peter looked through the book
and shook his head.
"You don't belong here" he said.
"But am sure belong here"
said the man.
wait a minute" said Peter.
He looked again, and in the back
part of the book found the name.
Sure" said the guardian of the
gate, "you belong here, but you
were not expected for twenty years.
Who's your doctor?"

HELPING OUT THE FOOL KILLER

Although the fool killer is very
busy these days, he cannot keep up
with his work. 1t must be some
satisfaction to him that he is being
assisted so ably by large number
of his proper victims. Among them
are such as: Put strong stimulants
into their stomachs.
Eat a lot of meat.
Drink abundantly of ice water
and iced tea.
Take violent exercises in hot sun.
Worry about things which never

Run square to catch a street

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inf1amed,
you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. &c..
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured

THE editors who assembled in Madi-
son to form an organization for the
promotion Of progressive principles"
in government are apt to lose sight of
the most important duties newspaper
owes to the public, among which may
be mentioned, as the most important of
all, the advocacy of strict economy in
all governmental affairs. When gov
eminent becomes profligate, graft runs
rampant, special privilege has full
sway, bad laws are enacted and the
public servants are debauched. This is
the history of public extravaganza
since governments first existed. During
the past ten or fifteen years our state
has set high pace in the matter of
enacting progressive legislation. Some
of this legislation is excellent. There
is much of it that is worse than useless.
The aftermath of all is not just what
we need or want. We are paying too
high price for progressiveness. 1t
takes too. many new and high priced
employees to carry it out The tax
payer who sits down and credits pro-
pressive legislation with every cent it
has brought in and charges it with
every cent it has taken out of his pock-
ct will find large balance still due
him.-Stoughton Courier-Hub.

MANY people would like to learn how
to live better and fare more luxuriously
without greatly increasing the expense
of so doing, but there are some unfor-
tunate ones whose expense so nearly
equals or sometimes exceeds their in
come that they would like to know how
to have enough of food, clothing and
comfortable shelter without expanding
all they can earn. Such people would
do well to study the list of rations
which the United States furnishes for
its soldiers and sailors when on active
duty. In this list economy is not the
main consideration nor even the princi-
pal one, it being to supply enough good
wholesome and nutritious food to keep
