What is Your Family Worth !?

If your family is worth the best
you can afford in house and food
and clothes, is it not worth the best
reading as we'll? And the best read
highest for boys and girls,
best for men and women-is to be
found in The Youths Companion.
Of stories alone The Companion
will print nearly 800 in 1912. With
all the rest of the paper thrown in,
and counting the glorious long serial
stories, they cost the subscriber less
than a cent apiece. Moreover, you
will look long before you will find
stories so varied and interesting -
stories of GOODNESS in the face of
peril, strange adventures with crea-
lures of the forest and the sea,

ANTJSEPTIC FOR CATARRH.
Kills all Catarrhal Germs and Quick
Iy Cures.

Stomach dosing will not cure
catarrh. To get relief and cure it is
necessary to treat with a harmless
antiseptic the air passages OF the
nose, throat and lungs. This is
done best with Mentholatum, a
simple, herbal preparation that IS
applied at night and cures while
you sleep. In addition to its anti
septic qualities that kill the germ OF
catarrh poison, it has healing prop
critics that soothe almost Immediate
" the irriatated mucous memberane.
Mentholatum costs only a tritie
and you can get a liberal jar for 70
cents from your druggist with
guarantee to refund money If not
satisfactory. 1t stops all aches and
cures inflammation and pain, not
only of catarrh, but any other
troubles.

Wiley Still Handicapped.

President Taft's exoneration of Dr..
Wiley carried with it TO many minds
the impression that Wiley's authority
had been restored. That is a mistake.
The doctor remains a nonentity as far
as enforcement Of the pure food law
is concerned.
The board of food and drug inspec-
ton continues in control of the admin
istration of the pure food law. 1t still
consists of Wiley, McCabe and Dunlap,
and it is inconceivable that their rela-
tons will be more harmonious because
of the failure of the scheme of McCabe
and Dunlap to GUST DR.. Wiley.
Without thorough housekeeping in
the department of agriculture the in
terests Of the people will have profited
little by the presidents action.

But, writing on the brink of the

From cradle to gray hairs, the
greatest comforter is mother. If you
drive everybody else from you she
will still mistakenly believe in you.
There is no sorrow she cannot soften,
no failure she will not condone, no
sin she will not forgive. There is no
higher human instinct in man than his
love of mother
A man may carry the deepest dis
appointment in himself. but when
there is still left the desire to keep
that self disappointment from mother,
to save her from anguish and an
aching heart. there is more good in
MIN than bad.
Somewhere in this great world this
burglar has a mother. She is waiting
for her boy She is thinking of his
first smile, of his first words. his first
shoes. his first school day, his first
wages earned, his first real battles OF
life, the aspirations he had which she
shared with silent pride. Within the
great human mill, the temptation TO
reach the goal by some short cut has
caused this poor man. as it has caused

It will be necessary to secure the
riparian rights by purchase from the
interested property holders and an
ordinance from the city before the
Rock Island Southern can avail itself
of the privileges 1t seeks.
It will require time, and consider.
able length Of time, before the essen

Newton Ashford was driving from
Deepford to Little River when he dis.
covered something unusual in the snow
covered road. He pulled his horse TO
a standstill and jumped out Of the
cutter to examine the strange objects.
A pair of small black rubber boots
sticking up out Of the deep snow by
the roadside indicated that a small
boy might be at the other extremity.
Newton pulled puliantly. to discover
that there was nothing at the other
end but snow. He also found out that
the boots were new and were lined
with warm red flannel.
When he resumed his ride the boots
were tucked under his seat and he
was mentally composing an advertise
ment to hang in the postofice: Found
