LAND sWiKDL FRS.

Much legislation is enacted for the purpose of eliminating fraud but it is apparent from the frequent diSclosgT es that there still exists many opporau- u5tles far taking advantage of people through representation This is particularly true where the lack of pro2er caution works in combination with fl1e carefully planned schemes to give mere or less respect to the law The frequent revelations of poor people and those of foreign birth or little edu- ezH11n being takem advantage of by those E3ao hold out aIlGT7nE opportuni rzss for possessing property indicate fhH need of more at1en1ia9n being given to these swi5adlerG The probability is that their representations have been Ench as to show 1A9em observing the laE and giving something for money ransfzeG. but that the buyers have been xnlEae4 into i1aMz<sa,ble ventures and practically worthless purchases can not be denied
 There may be means for prosecuting such operators and there may not be It all depends uIE5n their representa- uons but it is apparent that there is need for the prevention of just such methods of SSpar rating the people from their money without delivering an equivalent value This is apparent in the selling of stocks and bonds as well as of property The ~Eofue sky law has been found of vaa1e in other stateA Ht operates as an investigator before purchase, a fact which the gnlal1le fail to consider necessary nnt11 the trick has been played Protection through prevention has value which cannot be 0xeraoo11ed.

pEvELoPqNe ALASKA.

While thoughts are being turned to the development of the natural re sources of Alaska. it is also quite evil dent that equal attention must be giv- en to the development of the people of that northern territory, While we are planning to profit from what can be gotten there, the obligations we are under to aid them educationally must not be forgotten. Such work is al ready showing good results there, but it must be maintained with full real ization of its need
 The tbureau of education of the United States is already giving much attention to the natives and no better illustration of this is offered perhaps than through the establishment of CO., operative companies among the natives for their mutual benefit Such was found necessary to protect the natives from the operations of the white trad CTS who made enormous profits from the purchases which they made of the natives at their own figures. Until the cooperative stores were started the na- tives were helpless but through this system they have been taught to do their own trading, with. the assistance of government representative and the results show the benefit attached there to- Dividends and business expansion haze resulted and in many of the set dement's the buying and selling are be- ing done with considerable advantage to themselves.
 Even with the development of Alaska at its present state there still remains plenty of opportunity for native bet terment and whenever further de1e1- op1nent is attempted the need of the natives should not be overlooked

Money JaOed by Making Your Cough Jys-up af Home Takes Hut a Few Moments. and Stops a Hard Cough
 iH a Hurry.

Cough medicines, as rule, contain a, large quantity of plain syrup. If you take one pint of granulated sugar, add F pint of warm water and stir about 2 minutes, you have as good syrup as money could buy.
 If you will then put 25 ounces of Pinex fifty cents' worth) in a pint bottle, and fill it up with the Sugar Syrup, you will have as much cough syrup as you could buy ready made for $2.50. Take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours It keeps perfectly.
 You will find it one of the best cough syrups you ever used-eyen in whooping cough. You can feel it take hold usually conquers an ordinary cough in 24 hours. It is just laxative enough, has good tonic effect, and the taste is pleasant.
 It is a splendid remedy, too, for whooping cough, spasnodic croup, hoarseness and bronchial asthma.
 Pinex Is a most vaulable concentra- ted compound of Norway white pine extract, rich in guaiacol and other healing pine clements. No other prepa- ration will work i'll this formula.
 This plan for making cough remedy with Pinex and Sugar Syrup is now used in more homes than any other cough remedy. The plan has often been initiated but never successfully.
 A guaranty of absolute satisfaction. or money promptly refunded, goes with this preparation. Your druggist has Pinex, or will get it for you. If not, send to The Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind.

MRS. cATrs PRocRAMmE

When serious consideration is given to the utteranee of Mrs. Carrie Chap man Catt to the meeting of the suf- frs&ists in Washington that If the constitution stands in our way. let's tear 1t Up and make a new one" it savocs of riot and revolution. This is contemplating a serious step without 6 TeaHzaion Of what is advocated. 1t is doubtful whether she expected any serious thought to be given to her suggestion, or any attempt made to carry 1t out. It is charitable to be- heve that she did not but that she had more consideration for the foundation of our government than her statement indicated.
 Her suggestion was couched in few words but it contemplated a huge task for as the Boston Post says: There are several obstacles to such a programme. These must be appar- ent-tle difficulty in the first place of tearing up the old, and next of sub stttuting Mrs. Gatts new one. So far We may sit quiet.

VILLAS ACTS.

What effect the protests to Car ranza concerning the acts of General Villa in Chihuahua, will have is uneer- tain. but it is apparent that they are drawn with a reasonable ground for action, if the reports which are sent forth from that city are founded upon facts. It must be apparent to Carran- za if his cause is to be looked upon as being anything but brigandage that there must be respect paid to the for eigners and their representatives. Gem eral Villa has been conducting suc- cessful campaign against the federals in the northern part of Mexico. So successful has he been that General Carranza has felt it safe to entrust his operations there to Villa as subor~ dinate, and with apparent good Judg~ ment when it comes to fighting but there are limits at which he must stop if he would refrain from international complications,
 Such acts as depriving the foreign consulates of the neutrality which is ordinarily conceded in such instances and the oppressive action against the Spaniards calls for immediate action by the head of the constitutionalists Such conduct backing the movement to get charge of the government of the republic to the south of the Rio Grande offers little opportunity for fla vorable impression Ii is against rec ognized procedure and as the protests indicate. calls for the immediate at tention and action by the leader Of the rebel movement Such acts increase the part which the consttutionalists are to play in the adjustment of Mex ican affairs It also gives CaITanza the chance to demonstrate his power as leader

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

] Use of Money From Red Cross Seals. 1 MT. Editor: AS this is the season of the year when the public is asked to contribute to the American Red Cross 1 Association through the agency of the 1 Christmas seals. it may not be amiss 1 for us to give some information con l cerning the disposition of the money 1 received therefrom.
 1 Ten per cent of the amount is re- 1 quired by the National Society in 1 Washington. The balance is used in our own community, in easing the suffering of unfortunate victims of tuberculosis and in affording proper care for them.
 From Feb. 1912 (the date when I as stunned an active part in the Work) to November 1912 (the end of the fiscal year of the society the expenditure of $36S.57 represents the transportation of patients to and from the sanatori- uLn in Meriden, the purchase of warm clothing, and the partial payment for S7 ST weeks board for three patients.
 The receipts from the sale of Christ mas seals in December 1912, were $826.94 The disbursements from Nov. 1912 to Nov. 1913 were as fol- lows
 Sent to the Home Office in Washington $S2-69; Assistance rendered patients in the home $50; Amount paid for Al 6-7 weeks DOSTO LOT IOuf pallenlS S0o I-l4.
 In addition to these items were the minor expenses in connection with the sale and distribution of the seals and also the cost of printing, postage and stationery throughout the year.
 We are indeed grateful to those who, in the past, have enabled us to take part in the fight against tuberculosis and we beg for the continued aid of the entire community in this most nec- essary campaign.
 Every patient properly instructed and cared for is just so much insurance against the risk of infection and every seal sold helps to increase this assur- ance.
 At present writing. only s3.7o0 seals have been ordered from me personally
 In this season of Good Will and Good Cheer are there not others anxious to lend a hand?
 Faithfully Yours. -sH~ Caroline R. Perkins.

MF, Editor: Now is a good time for all those people who think of some thing besides themselves to fix up places for feeding the little birds dur ing the winter, I read with interest the letter of Mr. Hetriek from Canter- bury, and must agree with him that the world owes George F. Mclean a debt it can never pay, but we can help pay it by doing our little to feed the birds.
 I tie pieces of beef on the north side of trees beyond the re>ch of dogs, and so high up that a. cat cannot get at it until the birds have time to fly away. swept clean with an end of a packing case set on the frozen earth, upon which to scatter crumbs.
 It is a good plan to lave the tree trimmings in piles to shelter quail and other large birds from the wind and snow.
 Some people howl about the English spaTrows, but I even feed them and find that they destroy insects enough each spring to pay. There were scores of them busily at work on new blow ed ground picking up worms and eggs that would later be worms, and always feel like thanking them for it.
 Last summer discovered that even the common wasp has it's use in the garden. After seeing two of them at work among the soft green eggs of the cabbage worm, kept watch and counted 1G at one time destroying the eggs, and in three cases I found wasps trying to draw away a fully matured cabbage worm so large it couldn't pos sibly fly with it.
 By all means feed the little birds this winter. See how much better you will feel when seated at your hot buck wheat cakes and coffee if you just glance out the window and see your little feathered co-w workers having a nice breakfast you have given them.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
The Art Of Life

The secret of the art of life is adjus- ment, and whoever can accomplish that is entitled to be called success ful. And to this title no other person has right.
 No human being is able to secure an entirely ideal environment. No woman ever lived who had a perfect husband, perfect children, a perfect home, per feet clothes, a perfect income and per feet friends. Those who complain be- cause they lack in any one of these re- spects are foolish and know nothing of how to take hold of life.
 One woman is content with the hus- band she has, she loves him for pre- cisely what he is and does not want

THEY HAD A FIRE

 Just to satisfy you.' Pillxer said as he slid out of bed and switched on the light. Then he made a. circuit of all the upstairs walls, sniffing and feeling There was some excitement when Mrs. Pillxer shfieked that her hand was burnt as she pressed it against a certain part of the wall Then they remembered that the fur mace chimney ascended at that spot.
 Pshawi7 Pilker said at last, irrit- ably There isn't any f1rel Now let's go to sleepl'
 Some time later he arose with a jerk. gonfound it" he growled.
 I'm so n-nervous and shaky! Oh, let's get the fire department"
 Again Pill1er descended to the base ment and again he felt all the walls. on the first floor as well as the second. Mrs. Iilker looked out of the rear windows to see if the neighboring hous- es were smoking and out of the frort windows to examine the houses across the street. Then they went back to bed and tried to snatch little sleep. But all the weird noises of the city night startled and jarred them.
 Just as Pilker sank into the slumber of exhaustion five minutes before the morning alarm went off he was reused by Mrs. Pilker shaking him violently. She was beaming with pleasure in spite of her weariness-
 I've found the fire!" she cried. There were a lot of partly burned matches in the dish where you emptied your pipe and a spark must have lit them They are all charred and burned clear to the endSi It exactly the same snell!' She thrust the dish under Pilker's nose.

 PlkeF had gone comfortably to bed with a light at his elbow and was reading a magazine story, while Mrs. Pilker was brushing her hair 150 strokes. Presently he became aware that the brush was poised motionless in the air and that his wife wore the expression of a detective in the act of detecting.

 His voice trailed off and his face wore a, startled expression. He sat up in bed
 T knew you'd smell smoke." Mrs. Pilker cried, hysterically struggling into PiIker's dress coat under the inn pression that it was his bathrobe- Something's burning!'
 Pilker arose and put on his bath robe and his golf shoes with the idea hi eli he said. trying to be calm. Maybe it's the fireplace in the upstairs sitting room,'
 Together they investigated the sit ting room The fireplace was black and the chimney odoriess.
 T can smell it dreadfully over the registersI" Mrs. Pilker announced. Tt must be the furnace!"
 Snivering because all the upstairs windows were raised they descended two flights of stairs to the basement, The furnace vas behaving as re- spectahfe furnace should. the fire was properly banked, there was no kind ling or pa ger within two rods of it.
 T think it's dreadfully funny" Mrs. Pilker half walled. Something cer- tainly is burning! I can smell it and then I can't!' She sniffed at the air indignantly.
 The basement was gloomy and chill. After while with suspicious back ward glances at the furnace, they went upstairs, The first floor was dark and undisturbed-yet peryading all was the subtle fragrance of smold- ering wood
 ..Oh, if my rugs should burn! And how could I get all the silver out without spilling it from sheet? cried Mrs. Pilker, wringing her hands. T wish you'd telephone the fire de- partment, Tom!''
 See here,' said Pilker, firmly, at last. From the odor there ought tc be fire. but there isn't any fire-so come along and go to sleep and forget it!''
 The lights were put out and a tense quiet reigned for fifteen minutes. Then Mrs. PiIker suddenly sat up and grabbed her husband. T do smell smokel" she insisted, wildly And
