and to the workmen's compensation com
mittee in February. Three members Of
the Hunt family petitioned for rebate
ON the proceeds of the sale of the w. III.
Hunt property, claiming there was n
balance left after paying for Mr.. Hunts
care which should be returned to them.
City Attorney d. Il. Bailey gave his
opinion that no agreement was made 70
that effect and that nothing was due
the family. An insurance proposition
was made by Benjamin Sumner and the
matter left with the property commit
tee and school board to investigate and
report. Alderman Atherton reported
that the property committee had decided
adversely In regard to the purchasing
OF the Clark Stewart property at Berlin

cred too high. II was voted to lease

OF GREAT USE IN
BREAKING UP COLDS
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil Is Thing
Long Desired.

Everyone knows the value of castor oil
in breaking up fall and winter colds.
but most people have found it too hard
to take.
KelIogg's Tasteless Castor Oil does
away with this only objection. 1t is
pure, simple castor oil without taste
or odor. Nothing is added; nothing good
taken out.
In making castor oil tasteless, Spencer
Kellogg & Sons of Buffalo have discov-
cred a secret that had evaded chemists
for 5000 years.
Kellogg's Iasteless Castor Oil works
better than the old eyil-tasting. evil
smelling kind II operates pleasantly,
without gripping, and does not upset the
stomach. Children take it easily.
Do not confuse Kellogg's Tasteless
Castor Oil with prepared, mixed or fla
vored castor oils. II is the only true
pure, tasteless kind Sold in all drug
stores, not in bulk. but in 25c and Doe
sizes. The public is protected by the
trade mark-a green castor leaf, bear
ing the signature kellogg's.
Made only by Spencer Kellogg Sons,

vines and was sitting up to watch
for the vandal when man came sud

OF course there were excitement and
Indignation. A reward Of 50 was
offered for the arrest of the marauder,

DOCKING OF LAMBS
QUITE NECESSARY
Practise Is Not Cruel and Is Alb
soIuteIy Essential for CIeanIi-
ness and Appearance.
(By +. r. PAKE.l

Lambs should be locked when
about week old. This is not cruel
operation and is absolutely necessary
for cleanliness and appearance.
Docking looks to be simple enough
but it requires great care. If the tail
is cut too short with knife the lamb
is likely to bleed to death. Some
shepherds scar with hot iron the
end of the tail after being cut with
a knife or chisel on a block of wood,
and this generally stops bleeding.
There is now, however, an instru-
ment on the market which does the
work quickly and effectually and with
no bad results. 1t is pair of blunt
edged pincers which are heated to
white heat and then used to bite" off
the tail When these hot pincers are
used the tail may be cut closely with
out bleeding.
After the operation the end of the
tar-some shepherds use coal tar-to
prevent flies from troubling the lambs
The animals should be watched close
ly, particularly if the docking is done
late in the season, until the wound
has healed, to see that no flies have
attacked them.
The lambs should be castrated when
locked. This, although simple
operation, should not be attempted by
novice, but should be done by an
experienced man.

COURAGE,

The most Indispensable and valuable
asset for the conduct Of life is courage
courage to endure, courage to con-
struct and reconstruct, courage to go
on. Without these how shall we do
more than drag out miserable exist
ence, moving from place to place, like
tramps and beggars. living on the
doles fate offers us as we SLOUGH along
unprecedented ways? Could there
be better prayer for the opening
year than this? Give us courage to
be masters of ourselves, courage to
swim against the stream, courage to
drown, when our due time is come,
with serene hearts and quiet faith in
God" When that prayer is answered.
living deserves a song and dying be-
comes an episode in the history of a
man. If religion did not more than
make this forward looking courage
possible, it would deserve our rever.
