Ruffnlo Coats for Sole.

The quartermaster general will soon
offer for sale some buffalo overcoats
which have been in storage at Omaha
since 1901 The coats were originally
bought in 1876 and were last used in the
Wounded Knee campaign, 1890 They are
in an excellent state of preservation and
in all respects as good as when they were
originally purchased. 1t is impossible
now to obtain such coats, and there is
considerable difference Of opinion in the
army as to the advisability Of this sale
However as the army has practically no
use for them, it has been decided to place
zen of the coats in several cities, in
GLIDING Seattle, Boston, Chicago, Buff
falo, st. Louis and New York, and when
it is determined where the best market is
to be had the balance of the coats will
be offered to the public. Not more than
ten of these coats will be sold to one
party, and 1t has been decided to refuse to
accept any offer which Is not more than
SIS each.

BONES OF THE EAR.
The Little Stirrup When Displaced
Causes Noises In the Head,

Causes Noises In the Head.
Vibrations of the eardrum are COM
municated to the inner ear by means
Of three exceedingly small bones, one
Of which is called the stirrup. When
this particular little bone is displaced,
however slightly, the patient hears
sounds which are subjective. or, to
use palmer terms, noises confined ex-
clusively to the auditory apparatus
and not heard by others. These sounds
frequently seem like wind whistling
through a crevice or a buzzing such rs
one hears when passing under a net
work of wires on a windy day. Other
sounds Of similar subjective origin are
classified as musical. They take the
form Of ringing bells, trumpet blasts.
organ notes and the piping of birds.
Still another form conveys to the pa
they sit on logs and like the shouts of
a crowd at a baseball game.
DR.. Marage. famous French aurist,
recently laid before the Academy of
Sciences in Paris the results of his
study of thousand cases of this gen.
eral sort He has found that the nerves
of the ear in certain cases maintained
the conducting position which they as
sumed when they transmitted the
sound of ringing bell or like sound.
and, like an electric button out of
position, kept the bell vibrations from
being interrupted. Other sounds were
produced by the persistent excitation
of the auditory nerve centers. High
frequency electrical currents and vi
bratory massage have been used by
leading specialists in the treatment of
ear troubles in these several conditions,
and the results have been encouraging.

BANKS LOAN" MONEY.

They Don't LEND" It, Because II Is a
Business Transaction.
Why is it banking houses always
"loan" their huge sums of money.
never by any chance lend" them?
Lend" is the true verb. while loan"
was exclusively the noun. How came
it about that ito loan" has uniformly
supplanted "to lend"
The purists make great fuss about
this. They insist that the stupid and
uutaught financial world has foisted
upon the language a substantive verb
when no new verb was needed, when
the ancient and established usage was
fixed in the Specification Of Ito lend"
But prior to the modern development
of business enterprise when money
was lent it was bestowed upon the Dor
rover either for temporary use with
out compensation, as mark of favor
or patronage. or by the professional
money lender who, taking advantage
of persons in extremities of need. de-
manded usurious interest. This Anglo
Saxon verb today retains it's ancient
connotatiOn. When it was coined the
productive powers of money were un-
known, and the wealth of rich men
was locked up for safety and kept out
of the channels of commerce.
Nowadays, by devices of credit and
rapid intercommunica ton. it is kept
constantly working in productive en-
terprises. Immense loans are made. no
longer to relieve the necessitOus ana the
try and to enable the borrower as we'll
as the loaner to reap a profit in his
transactions Money is loaned" In this
sense. 1t is not lent-New York Times.

THE MIND CURE.
Don't Worry, Eat and Sleep Right and
Live For Century.


Thousands of sick and afflicted are
daily told by their physicians to
change their diet and keep the stomach
free from indigestible food. This we
admit to be good advice. but far great
er is the usefulness of advice to
change your thoughts, for out of de-
filed mind proceeds a corrupt and dis
eased body.
The body quickly responds to every
impulse and impression of the mind,
and one rarely if ever sees a person
with a cOntenred mind thin. anaemic
and suffering with neurasthenia and
its train of nervous and gastric symp-
toms. If it were not for the worry,
discomfort and abnormally strenuous
life that characterize the people of
this age the specialist on nervous and
mental diseases would have to discover
ways to obtain a livelihood other than
catering to the whims and fancies of a
veritable army of perverts.
AS paradoxical as it may seem,
candidly and deliberately proclaim

of the world now living under fifteen
years Of age could live and enjoy bet
ter health until they have passed the
century mark in age if it were possible
to instruct them concerning the proper
observance Of those Interchangeable laws
Of health, hygiene and physiology. We
are often admonished to give up alcO-
holic stimu,ants, tobacco and coffee if
we desire to become even OctOgena
rians. While l admit that this Is
essential, yet l consider the observance
of three other rules more conducive to
longevity, as follows: Never worry and
never become angry; eat slowly and
regularly; obtain at least ten hours
sleep out of every twenty four. for in
this age of progress and achievement,
when every one Is making strenuous
efforts to excel his neighbor in obtain
ing knowledge. wealth and influence,
ten hours sleep is barely sufficient to
restore equilibrium to an exhausted
sensorium.
And for the man that VANDERBILT out
Of the way of understanding and wor-
ries through a miserable existence,
never quite satisfied with any one or
anything, we shall soon number him

preached them. scratched his head in
perplexity and said to his friends,
'What shall we do with them?' After
a consultation they allowed the high
landers to return to their column.
When the young Beers arrived at
the BOer lager, laden with the cap
tured rifles, their general asked them
why they did not bring their prisoners.
The youths looked at each other. and
one of them sheepishly replied:

WRONG End First.

An old Indiana justice of the peace.
after listening for two long days to
the evidence pro and con in a criminal
case. wound up his decision upon the
conflicting testimony by saying that he
had grave doubts as to the guilt of the
prisoner. but. whereas when law
student ne had read in Blackstone that
it was better that ninety-nine innocent
men should be punished than that one
guilty man should escape, therefore he
would find the prisoner guilty.-Hil-

Is lie Old.

Written for the News.
We say the old mans passed his prime
AS age comes with the lapse of time.
And all the while he older grows;
A heritage that time bestows,
While that which wrecks our human
kind
Is age which blights the human mind
When going at losing gait,
And living at a dying rate.
That he is old he will not own,
But just little ancient grown;
Not troubled, though he seems op-
pressed,
Nor tired, yet he longs for rest;
Is here without his own consent,
The hay-day of his life is spent,
Knows not why he fingers still;
Or soon must leave against his will.
When he prepares to take a ride,
He never mounts, but falls astride.
Then should old Selim buck or balk
He feels somewhat inclined to walk.
Where once he walked, now he would
ride
Nor is it altogether pride;
If on a race they'd run for slow
Like Baalim and his beast they gol
His corporality of late
Refuses to perambulate,
But tell him not that he is old
At thirty added to six fold,
He wots of widowers, nice men
Much cider than he's ever been,
Who long again for welded joys,
Cavorting round as spry as boys.
Each want young and loving wife
To nurse him in declining life,
And bachelors, our model men.
Who never reach two score and ten;
With maids and widows we are told
Are all exempt from growing old.
But you know how the saying goes,
And some old folks have tender toes.
Old age is honorable you see,
But you might have it all for ne.

free REMEDY HELPS CHILDREN

Many a mother has learned of a
way of avoiding sickness in her fam
lily, especially among the children, by
the use of free sample bottle of the
famous laxative, DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This offer of the doctors to
send free sample bottle has been re-
sponded to by thousands of women
in all parts of America.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
truly wonderful laxative and espe-
cially adapted to the needs of babies
and children because it is pleasant to
taste and no child will refuse it. Then,
it is mild and never gripes. 1t is all
that a child's remedy should be,
though it is a good laxative for the
whole family because it is effective
at all ages. 1t is not dynamic like
salts, pills and powerful cathartics.
which should not be given to chill
dren under any circumstances.

The Pulse Beat

The readiest and toughest estimate
of time is the pulse beat. 1t is sad to
know that the human pulse beat is not
exactly sixty to the minute. That is
one of the faulty Heterogeneous of
life. But it comes pretty close. And
the rough and ready calculator of the
time between the fash of lightning
and the thunder depends on his pulse
when he cannot see his watch To the
ordinary man second is a pulse beat
London Chronicle.
The Adair County news., 1911-06-28

Nine times out of ten when a child
complains and you don't know ex-
actly what is the matter with it, it
needs laxative-its bowels are con-
stipated. Syrup Pepsin will correct
the trouble, tone up the child and
soon it will be well again-wonder-
tul results have been secured with
Syrup Pepsin over night
You can buy it of any druggist at
nifty cents or a dollar a bottle, the
latter being the family size, but you
are invited to make a test of it first
at the doctors expense Send him
your address today and he will send
you a free sample bottle direct to
your home. Then when satisfied buy
1t of your favorite druggist.
For the free sample address him.

DRY GOODS REVIEW

New York. July 23.-The cotton goods
markets have been quiet and weak I'M
der the combined influence OF a light
demand and of a settling in the raw
cotton market as the new crop year
approaches. The drastic revisions
made in prices on bleached muslins
have led buyers to hope for reductions
all along the line. Selling agents are
not in a mood TO act quickly, as 1t
must be some months before actual cot
ton can be secured on which the mills
may work. and in the meantime the
goods TO be sold are those made from
the high-pr.ced crop of the past months.
The quiet general trade all over the
country has served 10 emphasize the
difficulties cotton mills are finding in
getting prices anywhere near a basis
Of profit, and while there is a very
large restriction of production being
forced. the demand for goods seems
to fall away as rapidly as curtailment
Increases. Less than $4,000 pieces OF
print cloth were sold at Fall River
Many goods are quoted at nominal fig
ures. The export trade continues
steady. and shipments are ahead OF a
year ago.
Notice was given during the week OF
continuation OF protection on staple
prints and other merchandise from
which restrictions were recently re-
moved.
