EX- SENATOR
WASHBURN
IS DEAD
WellknOWn MinneS0tan Passed
Away at Minneapolis Last
Monday Night.

William Drew Washburn, former
United States senator from Minnie
sofa and pioneer miller, lumbermar
and railway builder, died at "Fai1
Oaks his Minneapolis home, al
1916 o'clock last night. Death was
attributed to ailments due to old age
superinduced by a cancerous growth
on his left side. He was 81 years
old.
For SO hours Mr.. Washburn lay in
an unconscious state prior to his
death. He died without recognizing
the members Of his family, who were
present, excepting Stanley Wash
burn, a son. Stanley is still in the
mountains of British Columbia, it is
presumed, as no communication has
been received from him.
The former senator's death came
after suspense of eight days fol-
lowing his arrival home from Europe
on Sunday, July p, during which no
hope has been held out for his recov-
cry. Doctors said the mans re-
markable vitality had prolonged his
life for almost IL week longer than
they had expected.
While making the journey from
Quebec to Minneapolis, Mr. Wash
burn began to sink rapidly. He had
expressed a wish to die at "Fair
Oaks f. C. Washburn, who had
joined his parents in Canada tele-
graphed to w. D. Washburn, Jr., tell
ing him of his fathers request. Ar
engagements were made for a special
train to bring the former senator to
Minneapolis over the Minneapolis,
St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie rail
road, which Mr.. Washburn himself
had founded
During the last eight days, the for
mer senator has been unconscious a
greater part Of the time. He rallied
for day or two and talked with old
friends who had waited at his home
anxiously to hear from his bedside.
He inquired about current events and
when told the sympathy his many
friends held to him, he seemed over
joyed.
lie was taken suddenly i'll nearly
Il month ago while travelling with his
wife in Europe. They left Minneap-
Oils last February for Europe, prin'-
cipa]ly in the interest Of Mrs. Wash
burns health which was poor at the
time. After a visit in Naples they
Travelled to Carlsbad.
Mr.. Washburn was taken i'll at
Carlsbad and consulted physicians
there. They advised him to hasten
home. lie and his wife went immed-
lately to England and sailed on a
steamer over the shorter northern
route for Quebec.

THE OBJECTION TO JOHN.

Tie Gaylords and Nelson's hav,
alwa been neighbors and intimate
FRIENDS. So when John Gaylord a,
twenty-fow, as fine a fellow as ever
was, began to see what an altogeth-
or charming girl Molly Nelson was
there was naturally no opposition.
Indeed, as the affair" became Sc.

that the parents concerned were de-

evening aier evening John talked
to Molly on the front porch, often
lingering after the other Nelson's

DEylcES'0F THE BODY.
The Cough, snesss and sieh ~,
Measures Of Self prstseAion.

One OF the most interesting facts
about the human body is its power
Of self preservation-its power Of
evading or overcoming the thou
sand and one conditions which, IN
less corrected, would be injurious
or destructive.
Among the most common OF
these acts Of self preservation are
the cough. the sneeze and the sigh.
Every one is familiar with these
acts, yet few people ever ask them
selves the cause, and fewer still
could explain them.
One of the simplest of the body's
devices for self protection Is the
cough. The cough is merely . blast
Of air propelled from the lungs in
such a manner as to forcibly dis
lodge some foreign substance which
has been drawn into tho throat. tbs
vindpipe or the tubes leading 10
the lungs. M
Inc membranes lining thess
parts Of the body are very sensitivss
and when a foreign matter comes IN
contact with them an alarm nes-
sage is at once sent 10 the nervous
''headquarters," and the result 10
the sudden, spasmodic expulsion Of
breath which is called q cough.
Very often the cough is produced
by the irritation Of the secumuls-
ton OF mucus on the surface men
toned. In this case, as in the case
Of a foreign body, the cough Is
merely a means Of expening the
matter.
So, you see, scough is merely one
Of natures methods Of self protec-
ton. Cough cures contain some
drug which, by pOralyzing the
nerves, prevents the cough and al
lows the mucus to accumulate.
Thus the cough medicine does
only harm. The cure for q cough
Is to cough--to cough until the ex-
cessive deposit 10 removed. Mean
time, OF course, measures should bs
taken to prevent added deposits-
A sneeze is exactly kke q cough.
save that the obstruction occurs in
the nostrils owing to the depoait Of
some irritant or foreign matter
and that the hsst OF air is thrown
out through the nose instead Of
through the throat and mouth.
Why do we sigh? When grieved
or depressed the tendency is to hold
the breath. This means that the
body suffers for oxygen, and the
long, deep breath which we call
sigh is merely means by which the
body obtains for itself the nsces-
sary amount Of oIygen.-Dr. W. z
c. Latson in Health CufturS.
