Age e-Herald'S Presenta-
ton of " Heart SONGS
A New Idea for Newspaper

The remarkable offering in The Age
| Herald of the now famous song book
entitled Heart Songs" announcement
of which appears today elsewhere In
| this paper. should be a source of sin
cere congratulation to both publisher
and reader.
Already more than a hundred thou
sand copies of this unique volume have
gone into the homes of the people of
| the United States at the publishe ers
retail price of $3.50 per volume. The
merits of the book are such that the
sales are steadily on the increase, and
| in the ordinary course of business the
book would attain an enormous circu-
| lation. r
Upon our first approaching the pub
| fishers with proposition to allow us
| in effect to make a gift of 1t to our
readers. we met with cold reception.
| But subsequently a plan was developed
Whereby syndicate of the largest
and most influential newspapers in the
country entered into an arrangement
with the makers of the book, so that
several hundred thousand copies might
be allotted to the readers of the re-
spective papers for practically the
bare cost of distribution.
There is no doubt that the ultimate
market for this wonderful book of
songs will comprise millions of homes.
And the few hundred thousand copies
presented by the leading newspapers of
the United States and Canada to their
readers will serve as the best adver-
tisement that could be devised
We do not go into detail as to the
merits of Heart Songs" in this brief
notice since they are mentioned in an
other place. so clearly and conspic-
uously that they can hardly escape the
attention.
From day to day, beginning with
this issue, The Age-Herald will pub
lish new features connected with
Heart Songs" until all its marvellous
attractions are set forth 10 our read :
ers.
1T is of universal interest and there
is no member of the family but will
find something of fascination and gem
uine interest between its covers
AS we state elsewhere, we believe
the distribution of this book will ac-
complish work of education OF the
very highest character, and our Offer
ing may fairly be called a testimonial
to the thousands of men and women
who read our columns daily.
The work has 500 large pages, and
comprises 400 selections. words and
music 1t is to be had by The Age
Herald readers on presentation of six
coupons of consecutive dates clipped
from this paper, and the bare cost of
distribution. Books are on display at

, nothing could cause 1t to more than
pause-not even the famous war between
sections" Most of the grandest achieve
ments of American history made place
for remarkable progress in science and
| mechanism which would fill the full
pages of q 20-page newspaper to print
skeleton recital. And there are those who
feel of a tremble over the current furry
over the moving about of a little small
change.
Definite gossip about the Forthcoming
railroad rate verdict is eagerly listened
for in every business quarter. The list
from whom curious persons seek light
are the very ones they will get nothing
from. Each of the commissioners is
probably nursing personal views about
the issue, but it is a safe wager that there
will be no reliable advance tips in cir
culation, down to the last call. Capital
punishment might be voted against any
poor ''cuss" found guilty of betraying
sacred confidence in such a case. Every
prophecy by Washington or supposed to
be from there is promptly denied, no mat
ter how straight it may seem. Wall street
is childishly irresponsible in it's gibberings
over rates.
The total amount of dividends on
stocks and interest on bonds distributable
during the last few days of 1913 and the
first few of 1914 around this center will
approximate $250,000,000. These totals in
crease annually, not necessarily because
of enlargement of earnings but because
-. 41Srge number of corporations are
drawn into this center for their financial
contortions.
Government Ownership Sentiment
The wiremen are doing a lot of pre-
liminary publicity work designed to de-
velop sentiment in favor of government
ownership of both telegraphic and tele-
phone systems. Considerable headway
has been made apparently, though 1t will
| be long road to travel before consent
| is given to pay out S00,0O0000. And
whether such a purpose would include
also the right to manufacture and use
the electric power employed in the traf-
fic business is another faction of the
proposition. The big men in the corpora
tions are giving the scheme their best
favor apparently and something may
come of it, although the amount named
is so colossal that it may have to be
reconstructed before anything is done
looking to transfer of rights and prop
critics connected Herewith This discus
sion, which has not yet emerged from the
class of dreams naturally brings up the
question of government ownership of
railroads That idea has grown amaz-
ingly the last year or two, and espe-
cally since the controversy began over
the raising of freight rates. The neacer
that comes to a head the more earnest
the general broad discussion of concen-
trated control is the debate The rail-
road is near enough concluded system
to be an ideal skeleton for great serv-
i've for neighborhood use and it is likely

Cured of Drug Habit

When / went to the Sanatorium l was
physically down and out. Whilst it was
true l was using morphine, the use of
this life wrecIing and ould-destroying
drug was the result of months of agon-
izing pain, sleepless nights, etc. Pre-
vious to going to the Sanatorium 1 had
for nearly IS years suffered with ter
rife pains in my limbs, body, smother
ing spells. etc, and although l sought
service of the best physicians, they did
not seem to understand my case, con-
sequently all they could do was give
me morphine in ever increasing doses.
My kidneys, heart and other organs of
my body became so weakened there was
no pleasure in life. Physicians told me
there was no hope for me-my friends
said there was hope for me, yet 1 was
always trying to get well. Finally 1
saw the Medical Director of the James
Sanatorium, and had talk with him.
He examined me thoroughly and con-
cluded to make urinal tests, which he
did. but found such conditions to exist
that he did not offer me much en-
couragement, but said, ait is worth a
trial" / had heard from those who had
been treated at the James Sanatoril1m
of the great cures they were making,
and I concluded that | wanted freedom
and hoped to get relief from the ter
rible rheumatic and other mains at the
same time.
! made several visits to the Sana-
forum before they would consent to
give my case a trial Finally started
in. Much to my surprise, although I had
been told by physicians that L would
die If the drug was taken from me, I
was relieved of all necessity or de-
mand for Morphine, and suffered no
pain on that account. Now 1 weigh 1855
pounds, have a fine appetite, sleep we'll
and feel that l am not only cured of
the drug, but my pains have disap-
peared, and L hope they may not re-
turn. believe that if a man suffering
as / was can be cured without pain,
anyone on earth need have no hesitency
IN taking>the treatment. Hoping this
will be read by those suffering from
pains, and that they will not wait long
er. but go at once and get well, I am

pin drop almost anywhere. The su-
thorities selected three contributors at
La Vale, VIM. Sloniker, e. j.
Thompson and F. s. Barnett, who
came to Baraboo today and testified
tn at they had given money under the

hear. He is bound over to circuit
