ments were branded in the resolution
as false and issued by Col Suggs

Abraham Lincoln, wisest Of our

ing: 'lf we buy goods in England,

we buy our goods at home, we will
have the goods and the money, too.
This great truth applies to local

If we huy our goods in Chicago,

But II VIC buy our goods in the
home town. we have both the goods
and the money. A considerable por-
ton of that money remains in cir
cMation in the home town, paying
for taxes. charities, rentals, wages
farm products, building operations,
and so on.
The most prosperous community Is
that having in circulation the great
est amount of money per capita The
way to maintain that circulation is
to promote the patronage of home

To the head of every family the

most important, and the value of an
agreeable laxative that is certain in

Syphoned Oxygen.

The dark. unfathomed caves OF
ocean are continuously supplied with
air. else life in the depths could not
be supported. DR.. Carl Herring sug-
gests in Science that the oxygen Is
siphoned down by pressure. Those
who have witnessed the opening of a
champagne bottle understand that a
liquid will hold more gas in stable so
luton under pressure than when un-
onfined. The spraying Of the waves
saturates the surface of the ocean
with air. The layer beneath. which Is
under higher pressure. in turn forces
the captured air particles still lower.
until at the utmost depth the richest
content Of oxygen should be found.
