Then'get from your. druggist 2 " ounces

directions with Finex. It keeps perfectly
and tastes good.
It takes hold of the usual cough or
chest cold at once and conquers it in "a
hours. Splendid for whooping cough,
bronchitis and winter coughs.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough
and heals and soothes the inflamed mem
branes in the case of painful cough.
1t also stops the formation of phlegm in
the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end
ing the persistent loose cough.
Finex is highly concentrated com.
pound of genuine Norway pine extract
combined with guaiacol, and has been
used for generations to heal inflamed
membranes OF the throat and chest.
To avoid disappointment. ask your
druggist for "2A ounces OF Pinex," and
don't accept ANYTHING else. A guarantee
of absolute satisfaction, or money prompt
" refunded, goes with this preparation.

COL HEPeuRN,s sERvlcE.

Paul Maclean in the Fort Dodge
Chronicle: Just to assist IN keeping
! the record straight We must differ
with the Webster City Freeman-Trib-
| une regarding the activities OF Col
onel Hepburn during the later years
OF his political life Belonging as he
does to that period OF craftsmanship
dating from the civil war, the colonel
! is now and has been all his life a
stickler for party regularity, but
when the Freeman Tribune intimates
that during his long service In con-
gress he was reactionary it displays
a memory of singular fault.
Our contemporary will admit, per
haps, that the most important and en-
lightened legislation which has been
spread upon the statute books in the
last dozen years is that which sup
ports and extends federal power to
the regulation and control OF railroads
and strengthens the Sherman law.
Much OF this legislation was passed
under the administration Of Colonel
Roosevelt, during all OF which time
Colonel Hepburn was chairman Of
the house committee on Interstate
and foreign commerce. Much Of this
law was written IN the hand Of Col
onel Hepburn. All of 1t was formu-
lated in conferences between the col
onel and the white house. and it was
the common practice at this time for
the opponents OF railroad regulation
to denounco the colonel as = tool OF
the white house. This IS not saying
anything to the disparagement of the
committee Of which Hepburn was
chairman in order to give him undue
credit. It was composed throughout
OF exceptionally able, men as to both
its republican and democratic mem
bership. But Hepburn dominated the
committee and to him more than to
any other member before or since is
due the Strengthening of the inter
state commerce commission and the
insertion into supplementary regura-
tons powers OF examination and pen
alties for infringement that have
made the railroads in fact quasi pub
lie institutions.
The pure food laws are also a work
for which Colonel Hepburn is deserv-
ing of great credit. These statutes
were framed In the same committee,
whose counselor was the famous DR..
Wiley, and the colonel was the floor
leader at the time they were under
cOnSlQerHIlOu, as uo Was diSo "ASA
the work of effective railroad regula-
ton had the right Of way. These
are but two subjects among many
with which Colonel Hepburn was
identified In large way. Are these
reactionary measures? They are not
only not reactionary. but they stand
for the most progressive and fntelli-
gent legislation OF the past twenty
years.
Probably the reason the distin-
guished Eighth district congressman
is SO widely misunderstood is because
he was always orthodox and refused
always to give countelance to that
brand Of republicanism known as
progressive" 1t is, however, purely
matter of taste that this veteran OF
the civil war has preferred to retain
the orthodox brand.

THE ORDINARY MAN.
He kept the middle Of the road ant
did his level best,
A simple, ordinary man, in common
garments dressed;
The one ambition that he had was
just to keep his brood
Supplied with shoes and clothing
warm, and filled with whole
some food.
He never made bid for fame, mol
seemed to want to roam,
The only crowd he ever led was Just
the few at home.
He never whimpered at his lot, when
extra burdens came,
He never told his WEAKNESS or spoke
Of being lame.
But trudged along from day to day ana
did the best he could
And seemed content If those at home
his efforts understood.
A simple, ordinary man, who faced
each day OF strife
That ne might give to those he loved
some happiness in life.
The wishes OF his wife and babes to
him were stern commands,
It kept him straining at the yoke to
meet their new demands.
He had no Tina for selfish play, no
days to sit and rest,
Each morning brought the ceaseless
grind. each evening closed a
test,
And always as he turned away from
home and shut the door
The pack OF burdens on his back
weighed just little more.
He never sought the joys Of fame. nor
brilliant tried to be,
The patch OF blue above his home
was all he wished to see;
In simple toll he spent his life. the
simple prizes gained.
A back street, coy little house where
love and sweetness reigned,
A wife, whose every word was kind
and every look smile.
A set OF happy little tots that made
each care worth while.
He kept the middle OF the road, and
did his level best,
He turned his back upon the east and
brayely faced the west,
And all he ever earned or owned to
those he loved he gave,
And to their joys and their desires he
made himself slave;
This simple, ordinary man, content IN
life to do
The common tasks became at last e
hero to the few.
