Robert Torrens, an Australian states
man, devised the system of land regis
tration that bears his name. Under
it an owner registers his title to land
by state authority, and the state
guarantees the validity Of it. Thus
the purchaser is relieved Of doubts
and Of large part of the expense of
conveyancing. 1t is a reform pecu~
liarly necessary and useful in the
United States, where land changes
hands frequently, although not quite
so necessary in England, where leases
rather than sales are the usual meth
cd of transferring the right to occupy
land. Many persons interested in land
have opposed the Tor
rens system, and have even strenu-
ously contested its constitutionality
but the courts have upheld it, and 1T
Is sure ultimately to be adopted by
all the states.--Y Youths Companion.

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with cough. A cough is dan
ger signal as much as fire bell.
You should no more try to suppress
it than to stop fire bell when it is
ringing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing. This can
nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial
results. 1t is especially valuable for
the persistent cough that so often
follows bad cold or an attack of the
grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, An
drews, Ind, writes: During the win
ter my husband takes cold easily and
coughs and coughs. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the best medicine
for breaking up these attacks and you
cannot get him to take any other"

Dr. Francis Carter Wood, director
of the million dollar fund left by
the late George Croker to Columbia
university for cancer research, an
nounces that all the so-called cures
have been tested and "not one of
them had the slightest influence on
cancers" Radium is not cancer
cure, either, he asserts. He warns
those suffering from cancer to beware
of quacks. Meanwhile, the search for
cure for cancer is going on by corps
Of experts in this country and Eu-
rope. In the last year Doctor Wood
and his assistants, with plenty of
money to carry on the research, have
been unsparing in their efforts to find
cure. yet" says Doctor Wood,
with all the facilities at our disposal,
we have been unable either to devise
a cure of our own or to find positive
merit in the cures which from time to
time are brought forward by other
persons"

The United States inherited its
land laws from England. They were
good laws in their time, but they are
now Anticipated, cumbersome and
costly. At long intervals, and in most
cases after prolonged agitation and
earnest opposition, Is of the states
of the Union have adopted a reform
so simple and effectual that it is
strange that more of the states have
not followed their example. Under
the old system man who bargains
for piece of land, whether farm or
city lot, must, if he is cautious, hire
conveyancer to examine the title, for
in no other way can he be sure wheth-
err the holder of the land has a right
to sell it. If he does not hire a con-
veyancer, he runs the risk of sooner
or later finding his own right to the
property attacked If he has a Quit
claim deed he must himself defend
his right; if he has a warranty deed
he can throw the defense back upon
the seller; but even then he runs the
risk that the seller is not responsible,
or not solvent. Sixty years ago Sir

We know of no worthier New
Years wish than that your plans for
the new year be wisely founded; that
health and strength of mind and body
be your portion; that your business
for the coming year be most success
full; that your industry may turn out
greater product than the past year;
that your fiocks and herds feed con-
tentedly on hill and valley; that
sweet peace and contentment attend
you in your homes and bring you hap
piness through a year that shall be
the best that you ever have seen; that
in your lives may be found integrity
of purpose, broadness of sympathy,
wealth and understanding and full
ness of love worthy the attainment of
your keenest desires.

1t is a mistake to suppose that orc
must hold public Office to serve his
country. 1t is just as essential to
good government for private citizens
to discharge the duties resting upon
them as it is for officials to carry out
faithfully their obligations to the pub
lie service. For the greatest OBJ
stacle in the way of good government
government that represents the best
there is, not the worst there isis the
inactivity of good citizens. When
these disregard their obligations to
their country they leave control to
undesirable elements.
