CURES CATARRH
Antiseptic, Healing, Mentholatum Quick
ly Kills Catarrh Germs.

Catarrhal troubles can be cured on,y
by an antiseptie treatment that kills
both the catarrhal germs and soothes and
heals the irritated mucous membrane.
Apply a little Mentholatum to the
nasal passages at night and while YOU
sleep the treatment does its healing work
and at the same time kills the catarrhal
germs. Its action is almost immediate;
the first nights treatment gives you
great relief.
You can buy a 25-eent jar of Menthol-
alum from any druggist with guarantee
of money back if it does not do all that
is claimed for it. This is the most eco
nomieal treatment for catarrh that was
ever known, as one package viii last two
weeks or more. Every home should have
a jar of Mentholatum, as it is invaluable
for all cases of inflammation, soreness, etc.

Two still alarms called out men from
the fire station last evening, one from
the L. ID. Taft house, where a fire in the
backyard attracted the attention of
passers-by, which was evidently started
by boys smoking in the barn; the other
was chimney fire in the upper Poland
house on East State street, where little
damage was done.
The new furniture for the city hall is
already five days overdue and, as the
forfeit is $l5 a day., it looks as if the
Van Dorm Iron Works company would
be out some money. The agreement was
that the furniture should be in place in
the hall within 90 days from the date
of the contract, but the time expired
January IL. As it viii take at least a
week to install it after it comes, the city
will gain considerable thereby.

FOR The CHILDREN
RHYME Of porothy Rose.

Dorothy Rose had a turned up nose
Did she worry about IT. do you suppose?
Oh, no! But plan she began to hatch
To make the rest of her features match.
First of all, she trained her eyes,
Turning them up to the sunny skies
Look at the mud and the dust? Not she!
Nothing but sunshine would Dorothy see.
A flower that droops has begun to wilt.
So up went her chin with saucy tilt.
An ounce of pluck's worth a pound Of
sigh,
And courage comes with head held high.
Lastly, her lips turned their corners UP.
Brimming with smiles like rosy cup.
Oh charming child is Dorothy Rose
And it all began with turned up nose
st. Nicholas.

EEktNL - L4MAMNtMF
Then came the question Of poetry
and what to do with 1t and all thu
editors present said that they had
their experiences. Ono editor who
had been afflicted with a chronic
writer Of poetry without special merit
told ION he had printed an article on
the troubles of the editor and had
concluded 1t with the poem In aues-
ton. Five to 10 cents q line for obit-
uary poems was the cure that oth-
ers suggested. 1t was admitted that
much of the original poetry that comes
to a newspaper Office can hardly be
esteemed poetry no matter how good
the intention of the writer, and that
the publication Of poems that do o
meet with the poeticalI requirements
often subject the authors and the paper
to ridicule. But Just what to do
with this class Of productions was the
question and the waste basket wa
suggested. unless in some diplomatic
ann the production~could be side
tracked. 1t was argued, however, that
the writer's of original poems could
o be convinced that their efforts
did not have genuine merit and that
enmity would be excited by q refusal.
At the same time 1t was the opinion
that the reception Of original articles
ought not to be neglected but that
each editor ought to keep a keen watch
for talent and encourage 1t.

THE SUDAN WOMAN.

The Suydam woman ran away with a
plumber from a magnificent home and
q wealthy husband-not that it matters
whether she went With a plumber or a
prince-and the other day she and the
mar she oloped with and whom she
married after her husband had divorced
her, turned on the gas and choked
themselves together.

Did she regret the husband she left,
the home that had been hers and the
companions and friends she had alien
ated? Did the sin and the shame Of
it all hang over her until life became a
burden? Did he grow tired Of life with
her, SO tired that he was willing to
take the suicide route out OF the world?
In the absence of explanatory notes"
YOU have your guess and / have mine.
One thing is fairly certain in the
logic of experiences: The married wo-
man who seeks love outside her own
home fails worst when she finds it or
its counterfeit. This Bertha NJ. Clay
business of all for love and the world
Well lost doesn't stand the test. 1t
sounds like the real thing to silly girls

woman who loses herself rarely finds
herself again.
There are women in the world who
would be better off if they had to do
their own housework and the family
washing.

DISTRICT VS.. CONSOLIDATED.
tSac SUM-

tSac SUM-
State Superintendent Deyoe pays a
high compliment to the school at Mara
thon, Buena Vista county, which ne
pronounces the ideal consolidated
school. He found that the number OF
pupils was about evenly divided be-
tween those living in town and those
living ir the country, and what wa
best is that the country children re-
main right in the school in the higher
grades. In the seventh grade the coun-
try pupils are in the majority and in
:he eighth grade they divide even. OF
the small graduating class this year
five of the eight live in the country.
Also five of the class are boys. That is
the favorable side. Perhaps Mr.. Deyoe
did not try to find out how many little
children were kept at home during
stormy weather because they could not
stand the long rides to school and per-
haps he die not ascertain how much
enthusiasm there is for the plan in the
outlying rural parts Of the district,
even if he did see six bobsleds unload
children for school the morning he was
in Marathon. The Sun is not so sure
as it used to be that country school
houses Snouio De dpaIucAeo' II WIN
ders whether a system Of grading such
as is working well in Story county,
providing that three country schools
shall be grouped-one having primary,
one intermediate, and one grammar
grade pupils-would not work better
than the township central plan for the
grade pupils. II in addition the town
ship sees fit to provide high school In
struction at the central school house
rather than pay tuition to an i%ndepend-
ent district for its pupils, h a could
be done, but the grouping Of contiguous
districts would save much of the haul
ing Of pupils, eliminate long distances,
the country school houses,
and afford pupils better individual in
struction thar they could get in a lar

LkEOLlE11E'S BREAKDOWN.

Senator La F'ollette's breakdown is
considered serious tho his friends and
political bureau insist that it is but
temporary and that he will soon re-
cover and be able to push his campaign
for the presidential nomination. 1t is
to be sincerely hoped that they are
right Il that the condition Of the
famous senator from Wisconsin may
improve rapidly as they predict. For
La Toilette is a great n useful man
of whose larger view and hard labor
the coming decade shall be more APP
preciative than the past and whose
tame as a constructive statesman
! whose policies We're builded on the well
fare Of the masses as he saw it is to
grow With the years.
La Toilette has beeMstudent, sociol-
ogist, statesman. reformer and tireless
worker. From the beginning he chose
to row up stream against a torrentiaI
current of potential forces. His public
life has been busy with days Of war
fare nights of wakeful study. He
has been t~ireless, vigilart. active. He
has done & marvellous amount Of hard
work, more actual work than any other
two men in public life. Leader, or
ganizer and captain of the advance
guards and forlorn hopes Of progress
sive policies he has been commander
in chief and private in the rear rank.
The wonder is that he carried his bur-
den so far without pause or check.
La Toilette has made Wisconsin an
example among states. For La Toilette
organized and led the movement which
put the state back INFO the hands of
the people. Whether he shall recover
his health and continue his course or
find retirement necessary no force is
powerful enough to shove back the
hands of he clock in Wisconsin or
stop the progress Of the national move
ment in which he may justly claim
equality of original and independent
leadership with any public man Of the
present. The turmoil Of change from
an old order to a new, from accepted
political policies to others opposed.
from corporation government to popu-
lar control has given the general pub
