was employed by the Gas, Oil & Elec-
trio Light Committee Of the City OF
Chicago TO investigate the Chicago Tele-
phone Company, to learn whether the
company can improve it's service or re-
duce its rates, has made his report. Mr.
Bems considers a reduction OF 3VoWo
in the charges OF the company within
the city limits to be reasonable, and
points out several ways how such re-
duction can be met Instead Of putting
about $4,000 into the depreciable re-
serve, $4,000 may be set aside for that
purpose until repairs and removals
shall decline further. Another means is
through an allowance Of 9Ia per cent for
maintenance and depreciation, on which
basis the reductions in last years addi-
tons to the reserve would be about
1856. 900. Another solution would be the
reduction Of the rental. Mr.. Bemis states
that the question is whether the COM
pany's return is sufficient to tempt the
investor to furnish the money needed for
the growth OF the business. He says one
could estimate repairs and renewals at
about IA per cent during the next two
years, with a further addition to the re-
serve fund of 1.5 per cent. This is aside
from the expense for station removals
and changes.

CATCHING COLD.

There are various theories about
catching cold" aud as many me-
thods suggested to prevent colds.
There are certain common sense
precautions which everybody un-
dsrstsnds and should observe, and
in most cases of colds the patients
realize that their affection is due
to a neglect of ordinary prudence.
But, after all, the mental attitude
has much to do with taking cold.
The person who is constantly sp-
preheusivs, who is always shrink
ing from the slightest drafts and
exposures, and maneuvering
against the chances of catching
cold. are most likely to be suffer
ers. DR.. Shattuck of the General
Hospital OF Massachusetts in re-
cent address divided the anti-cOld
apophylaxis into the mental and
the bodily. He said nothing So
predisposes to colds as being
afraid of them, and he insisted
that AL occupation which ls so en-
crossing that it takes up all of Il
mans mind is one of the best safe
guards against chill. The bes,
stimulant against cold is good,
square meal of well-cooked food.
DR.. Shattuck says that while fresh
air is all-important, there is ten
dency to exaggerate the open-air
treatment to a hurtful degree in
cold aud Indictment weather. He
thinks that in severe wintry wealth
or a proper degree of warmth
should be preserved in bedrooms
aud parlors. aud that when the
outside temperature is very low a
sufficient amount of fresh air will
ordinarily be forced into bedroom,
without throwing the windows
open. He says cold bathing is q
good protection if proper reaction
is secured after the bath. Under.
wear should be comparatively
light, rather than heavy. He ad.
vocates hot baths as the first aid
to the cold.stricken, to be follow.

THE LAWN MOWER FACE.

A local man, who is a student of HUI
man nature and a close observer of
I the faces of the people he meets on
J the streets-says he can pick out the
emen who operate lawn mowers by
their faces.
He insists that there is a set ex-
preston on the faces of the average
householder while operating the ma
chihes-and that so fixed does it be-
come that it is indelibly impressed,
The average householder hates a lawn
mover worse than a kid does stated
tasks. When he grabs the handles and
starts on a grass slaughtering expedt-
tion--a stern expression envelopes his
countenance-a determined look is evil
dent in his eye-his teeth crunch to-
gether-his lips are drawn tightly
and his brow assumes an overcast APP
pearance.
He doesn't tackle the job in a leisure
ly manner-he does not perform it for
arts sake-but he is always at high
speed. He seems anxious to overtake
the wheels and vent his spleen on the
inanimate thing. That he likes his
job not is very plainly to be seen.
After operating a machine a few
weeks he develops the lawn mower
face-and is branded for life-unless
he can shift the burden, and make his
wife run the machine.

The farmers gets 46 cents for his

There are $4,000, 900 acres Of swamp
land in the southern states OF the Mis-
sissippi valley worth today about

be worth at least $4,000, 900. 900.
1t costs s55,000 to make a twelve

for this gun would reclaim $500 acres
Of land and provide homes for 500

THE MEAT

The packers assign as a reason for
the high price of heats that the re-
cent boost was because Of shortage of
shipments from the western ranges
and farms. They claimed the supply
of steers was 25 per cent less than a
year ago.
The federal statistics give the lie to
these claims Of the packers. The Of
fetal announcement is that the live
stock receipts at seven of the leading
markets in April 1912 were in excess
of April 1907. The statement ever
goes farther. 1t asserts that the live
stock receipts for these same points
was larger for the first four months OF
1912 than for the same period Of any
year during the last decade.
The report on hogs shows that the re-
cetpts during April exceeded any April
for the past ten years. The same
statement is made regarding sheep.
There must be a criminal evasion
somewhere. Who is to blame?

TRUTH and TINE
two REQUISITES
REV. FREDERICK q. sEHNER DE-
LINERS THE 5AccALAuREATE
SERMON 70 THE SENIOR CLASS
or TIE FARGO HIGH SCHOOL
LAST EVENING.

Taking the position that the parent
and teacher should work hand In hand
for the educational training Of the
child, Rev. Frederick g. Behner, de-
Hvered the baccalaureate sermon last
evening to the senior class OF the Far
so high school and the large assembly
hall Of the church was filled to Its ut
most.
The church was decorated with the
colors Of the class gold and white,
these colors in ribbons being used TO
reserve the seats Of the class, the
members OF which marched in and took
their seats. There was special music
that was the most enjoyable furnished
BY the Presbyterian quartette.
The power OF learning plus the
goodness Of God should furnish the
graduate with an equipment that
would make him successful in life's
battles" and Rev. Mr. Behner hoped
that the graduates would not stop now,
but would enter college. Ii behooves
every family and every country to
bring up their children in the way they
should go. for what the children of
today are, will be the future of the a
ton. The task is not an easy one.
Had the child been born in any coun-
try not recognizing Christ the boy
would have been born to joy and the
girl to sorrow. He believed that par
ent n child should work hand In
hand in the education Of the child and
IL they do the graduate is about ready
to put his hand on the throttle Of life's
machinery and drive the engine.
He said that there were just two
things in life that the graduate should
observe IL he OF she would be success
full. One was truth and the other
time. Truth, he said, expressed hon
esty, and time embraces opportunity.
IL the efforts and recovery could only
be spent in advancement, what a won
derful life everybody would have. A
lost moment or a lost opportunity Is
something that cannot be recovered.
He named the great men who while
working at their every day avocations
had succeeded in other work be-
u they had seized the opportunities
as they presented themselves =. T..
Moody studied while he sold shoes, the
author or David Harum wrote the
book while engaged at other pursuits,
and even Lincoln read law while he
clerked in a store, They lost no mo-
ments. III YOU succeed" he said, YOU
must polish up the corners in the
temple of truth. "A lie may bring you
a good horse in q horse trade, but the
horse will die, while the lie will never
die. You can't change a character al
death. 1t must be built up while YOU
are living. If you would make any
thing Of yourself build deeply in the
rock OF truth, which is founded on the
teachings of Christ and education re-
veals truth. 1t enables you to build g
character that the world will recognize
and respect"
