What causes most of the ills and dis
eases of mature life? Without pretend
ing to be an authority we are begin
ming to learn that the majority OF
cases of breakdown, premature old age
heart disease, rheumatism, defective
Authorization and the other troubles
that aggravate old age and bring
on early death, begin away back IN
the early days of ones life. We don't
want to lecture We do want to see
every man and every woman live to
the fulness of their years and better
still. live their lives most healthily
and happily. One of the things that
insure good health in later life lies
in having the children's teeth, eyes,
nose and throat, kept in good condi-
ton. Many a case of heart failure can
be traced back to the days OF bad
teeth and sore gums. Quite few cases
of tuberculosis had their inception in
diseased tonsils and adenoid growths.
We begin to age from the minute we
are born. A wise man sees that decay
is not accelerated by caring for the
little things.

Special Correspondence to the Herald.
Glover hullers work at Ellsworth
Holzinger's place Saturday and Mon
day. Monday afternoon they went to
the Louis Vesperman farm. From
there they will probably go to Kitto's.
The Presbyterian Ladies' Aid met
with Mrs. Louis Vesperman last Thurs
day. While the ladies were having
their meeting, Messrs. Ed and Earl
Vesperman and Rev. VIM. Harberts
went hunting down on the river. Don't
know what luck they had.
Ellsworth Holzinger has been pref
ty busy lately and last Saturday broke
all records for having large number
of men on the place. The clover hull
ers were there, about fifteen of them
and there were sixteen silo filters
making a total of thirty-one men or
the place at one time. Besides this
there were forty work horses to be fed
They were all at the farm for dinner
Five ladies prepared the meals for this
multitude.

CANNING FACTORY PROSPETCSi

To- date $4,000 has been subscribed
toward the proposed canning plant and
the, indications aree that the project
is practically assured. The amount
raised so far has been pretty well
scattered among both the, business
men Of Lancaster. and the farmers in
the surrounding country. Some of
the blocks have gone as high as 81 900
and from that down to $500 per share,
Mr.. Brendt, the promoter, does not
deem it advisable. to raise too large
a subscription, BUT the, work will prob
ably carried ON until a comfortable
balance above, the amount necessary
to pay for the plant, is on hand. By
next fall we may be all partaking
of Lancaster extra prime canned corn,

Our friend, Mrs. Emily Post of Col
lier's, who found us so self-consciousi
is apparently still careering across the
savage-ridden country that lies west
of New York She reaches Kansas
and cries in despair: Where, oh,
where is the West which fasteners
dream of-the West of Bret Harte's
stories, the scenes depicted in the
moving pictures?"
To which the Wichita Eagle replies
in what Mr.. William Allen White de-
dominates an Able Editorial:
The answer is easy. 1t doesn't eX-
ist, no more than do the other fiction
al scenes and characters with whom
all of use have such intimate relations.
There are no cowboys in Broncho Bill
" chaps and neckties in this land.
There are no farmers in chin whisker
and straw hats sitting on fences chew
ing straw There are no curly-haIred
lassies in bare feet and white sunbon-
nets tripping merrily down to the
spring. Sandburs are too thick Like
wise. the South does not exist There
are no congressman ilr long tailed
coats and broad brimmed hats IN
Washington. There. are no ar1sto-
cratic, fox-hunting. fine-lsaired groups
IolIing about the wide verandas of old
Virginia mansions. The, novels are
full OF them. Well, they are not there,
Just the same. There isn't a colonel
i'm Kentucky, with a French Imperial,
sitting beneath the. tree on the lawn
slipping mint julep. And when it
comes to that, where, oh, where is
the East the westerners dream Of
the money-loaning magnate who cam
not operate without a top hat, the de-
tective whose mental processes are de-
pending on bulldog pipe, the villain
who if he should lose his mustacht
and his cigarette would become as
pure as snow, the forbidding butter
from whom the family shies-where
where are they? They are in the i'm

AMERICANISM.

There is one subject on which Gov
Philip can talk and does talk ably
an: patr:otically. The words III
which he speaks of our duty as Amer
leans are worth thinking about:
"It matters not what your in
dividual politics may be, it is your
duty to stand together as Ameri-
cans and uphold the hands of the
president. Let us not become too
partisan. 1t is all right to main
tain a friendly feeling for the
country from which you come
you who were not born here, but
let us remember that on the prop
osition of our relations with the
countries of Europe there is only
one party, and that is the Ameri-
can party"
When Gov. Philip said that he
spoke for every American, he earned
the appreciation of Wisconsin. He
builded truer and deeper than he could
build on any other issue. These days
when deliberate efforts are being
made to line up America in behalf OF
one or the other OF the warning part
les OF Europe, we need to remember
that what concerns us is America. The
pitiful attacks on the president are
really attacks on America. And the
American people will see this. The
politician or advocate who has tried
to make America the adjunct of any
other nation will find that he has only
stained his record irretrievably. Gov.
Philip will not go wrong preaching

Farmers know nowadays that news
paper advertising is one of the very
best mediums they can use in advertis-
ing a sale. To-day the progressive
farmer may or may not get bunch
Of sale bills, but he is pretty sure to
take a quarter, half or full page adj
vertisement in the newspaper. The
reason is obvious. The county paper
,circulates among hundreds OF farm
ers all of whom are prospective buy
ers and reaches them in a way that is
sure TO get attention. In these days
of fast automobiles, farmers don't
climb down to read every sale bill on
the cross roads as they go whizzing
by, but they do have more and better
opportunities of reading an attractive
newspaper ad. The advantages of
newspaper advertising are well known
10 the merchant and the national adj
Vertiser, and this same service is avail
able to the farmer in advertising the
things he has for sale.
When egoism is made a virtue it is
called self-respect. There is vast
difference between self respect, self
assurance, or positive character, and
mere bigheadedness. The majority OF
men who have succeeded have done sc

their own power and belief in theil
work. The man who sometimes bore:

Some people continually ask the edit
or OF newspaper for free publicity of
q nature that will make money for
them Most newspapers, like most 9th
er institutions, are more than willing
to assist in promoting a worthy or
charitable enterprise, but the man who
IS always asking for free help in boost
ing his own game, fails to understand
that this very publicity is the only
thing the newspaper has to sell in or
der to meet its bills, pay its help,
and make a living for the editors fam
lily, which, strange as it may seem,
needs material things just like other
folks. No, the little birds do not bring
food, clothing, coal and certified

must be had from the universal source
and the doughty newspaper man must
HE himself early and late to provide
the wherewithal.
