OUR country has unlimited resources
if we can believe the statistics given in
an address before a conservation con-
gress recently. The speaker affirmed
there was sufficient coal in the United
States TO last 1000 years, 600, 900, 900
acres of timber land, sufficient oil for
fifty centuries, iron ore to supply the
country for 1000 years, 10000, 900, 900
tons of phosphate rock suitable for fer
tilizer, and more gold and silver than
ever would be used. A special survey
shows an aggregate of coal deposits in
the United States of 3,076, 204, 900, 900
tons. The approximate annual output
of coal aggregates 400, 900, 600 tons. By
ordinary mathematical computation we
have enough coal to supply this nation
for 1000 years The one arid state of
Wyoming has coal deposit of 424, 085.-
600, 600 tons, enough to supply this sis
terhood of states for thousand years.
1t has been asserted the republic is al
most without timber The official re-
ports of the federal government de-
velop we have 600, 000,0 900 acres of tim
Der land in this country If we esti-
mate our forest growth at 300 feet
board measure an acre annually our
increase in forest growth annually will
amount to $50, 900, 900, 900 feet. Stats
tics tell us we use $4,000, 900 feet a
year. We have oil enough for 5000
years. The known iron ore deposits of
the United States amount to 81, $40,
600, 900 tons, or enough to supply our
country at the present rate of con-
sumption for more than a thousand
years.

Something Special at Titus Pharmacy.

Preparations have been made for a
rubber goods special sale at the corner
drug store that demands more than a
passing interest, which is told OF on
another page of this paper. Many at
fractions are offered and it certainly
will be worth while for anyone to de-
vote an hour in the Titus drug store
Saturday.
Every visitor will receive handsome
souv enir. About all one has to do IS
to make a purchase of something on
this day and receive free a host of
gifts. A man who buys a cigar gets
one more of the same kind. Other
gifts are arranged for the ladies, and
the youngsters too are provided for.
The corner drug store is going to
start campaign of instruction on the
benefits of using rubber goods in the
home. Everyone is invited to attend
this sale Saturday, Nov. 22nd, and see
what is done to make the Titus pharm-
acy wider known and better liked than
ever.

WHAT makes the Wisconsin state
machine the most powerful organiza-
ton of it's kind in the world? 1t has
under it's broad wings an army of Of
ficers-men who are drawing twice as
much from the state treasury as they
could command in any private employ
ment-and these can be counted on to
fight like Turks to hold their places.
At the same time, by the creation of
new places, the undertaking of new
enterprises, and the collection of ever
increasing revenues, it enlists all who
are hungry and thirsty. The ambitious
young man of today has the alternative
of going to work, making his own liv-
ing, and paying an ever-increasing por-
ton of it into the state treasury, or
uniting with the reform machine, gent
ly settling down into fat official berth
and living from the proceeds of the
toll of others. The increase of state
taxes from four millions to eighteen
millions in a few years indicates the
extent to which this idea has already
been adopted. To how many millions
of taxation it will amount in the next
ten years, nobody can ever guess. The
only thing that will beat the little
game is an uprising of taxpayers in
self defense. -Wausau Record Herald.

He Who Spares Vice.

He who spares vice or apologies for
it in the places of the world wrongs
virtue in every place He helps the
good to look upon it leniently, and thus
to lower the tone of morality within
themselves. He assists the bad to
make it respectable, and thus to give
the warrant and license in it's inlita-
ton, and even in it's emulation. He
discourages virtue in the humble and
poor-the great masses, who form the
real basis of society, and upon whose
goodness and truth the state must
rely for its character before the world
and it's stability in the world.-Dr. j.
G.. Holland.

GRIPPE OR INFLUENZA.

Contrary to the generally accepted
notion, grippe is an exceedingly serl-
GUS disease. According to the last fig
ures at hand, there were 302 deaths in
wisconsin in 1909. This is nearly as
many as died in this state from typhoid,
the seriousness of which is generally
recognized, and nearly twenty times as
many as died of smallpox.
Influenza is one of the diseases more
prevalent amongst the rural jewellers
than amongst the inhabitants. There
were in Wisconsin in 1909, 236 deaths
in the country as against Sc in the
cities. Throughout the United States,
over ten year period, there are, on
an even population basis, twice as
many deaths in the rural districts as
there are in the urban population.
In addition to being so frequent
direct cause of death, influenza is re-
sponsible for paving the way for other
fatal maladies. One of the reasons
why the seriousness of genuine grippe
is not more generally recognized is,
that with some people, every little i'm
material ''cold' is called grippe. Real
influenza is a specific germ disease,
marked by degree of prostration out
of all proportion to the seeming impor-
lance of the accompanying symptoms.
The disease may attack the lungs and
air passages. Pneumonia is not I'M
common. The symptoms may not be
dissimilar to those of a severe "cold".
An intestinal form of the disease is
frequently seen, in which there is Sc
we're colicky pain and diarrhoea.
In addition to such treatment as may
be given to relieve the symptoms, the
patient should be confined to bed until
he has completely recovered. Influenza
is an epidemic disease. When it is
raging, people should avoid contact
| with patients. Discharges should be
disinfected. Handkerchiefs or cloths
used by the patient when coughing or
wiping the discharges from the nose
| should be handled with extreme care
and be burned or thoroughly boiled to
| destroy the germs.

WISCONSIN took its usual number of
awards at the National Dairy Show in
Chicago last month-more than any
other five states. And why shouldn' t
the state that has the fine cattle take
the most awards? Wisconsin certainly
has more blooded stock in the dairy
line than any other state. We should
have more, and all the communities
should do their full part to increase,
instead of permitting purchase by the
people of other states to reduce the
number. Pure-bred cattle are good
thing to sell at high prices, but bet
ter thing to keep.

LINK STEFFENS, the prince of maya
zine muck-rakers, came back to Madi-
son last week to be interviewed. He
confided to his friend, Richard Lloyd
Jones, that Gov. McGovern, Supt. Cary
and Speaker Hull were enemies of the
great common people, and that Madi-
son was suffering from bad dose of
apathy The gall of that man Steffens
surpasses all understanding. This the
same Link Steffens who made a ma
tional spectacle of himself during the
trial of the Los Angeles dynamiters.

THE earnings of railways throughout
the United States as CLEANED from re-
ports of the interstate commerce COM
mission and from compilations made by
the Financial Chronicle are not so vast,
nor are they increasing with such great
bounds as most people are wont to be-
lieve. During July of the present year
gross earnings increased $50 per mile,
but expenses increased $40 per mile,
which is a net reduction of about 10
per cent. In August the gross earn
ings increased 81, 342, 900, but the net
decreased by SO, LOG, ITO. This reduc-
ton, in the face of general prosper
ity, when there are no hard times such
as characterized the period in 1908
when railway statistics showed similar
net losses, has given rise to a greater
feeling of consideration for the rail-
WAYS.

PLAY Best Exercise.

The best kind of exercise Is the
kind that makes you forget that you
are exercising other words play,
says physician. It's good scheme
to have some more Or less strenuous
game for a hobby-golf or bowling
or tennis or archer..-anything that
appeals to you and affords exercise
with interest. But this is not saying
that systematic exercise is not a good
thing, too.

conquered--at last brought himself
and his charge to the shore.
When, finally, the rescuer was able
to do something more than gasp chok-
ingly he gave anxious attention TO
the woman whom he had brought out
OF the river. Yet at the outset he
could not be sure that she still lived
She had shown no sign of life at any
time since he had first seized her.
That fact had been of fncalculable
advantage to him in his efforts to
reach the shore with her Now how
ever, 1t alarmed him nightly. though
1t hardly seemed possible that she
could have drowned. So far as he
could determine, she had not even
sunk once beneath the surface. New
ertheless. she displayed no evidence
of vitality, though he chafed her
hands for a long time. The shore here
was very lonely: it would take pre-
cious time to summon aid. 1t seemed
notwithstanding, that this must be
the only course Then, just as the man
was about to leave her, the girl
sighed very family, with an infinite
weariness, and opened her eyes. The
man echoed the sigh, but his was OF

Afterward the rescuer experienced
no great difficulty in carrying out his

Mary revived to clear consciousness,
which was at first inclined toward
hysteria, but this phase yielded soon
under the sympathetic ministrations
of the man. His rather low voice was
soothing to her tired soul, and his
