DRINK HOT TEA
FOR: A BAD COLD

Get small package Of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take q tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system. y. s.. 81. a. s L u
Try it the next time you suffer from
q cold or the grip. It is Inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless. 80 -.

FARMERS WEEK
TO BE COUNTRY
LIFE CONFERENCE

The success of Farmers and Home
Makers Week at University Farm,
st. Paul, recently, when more than
500 men and women were registered
for study and conferences, indicates
that Minnesota is to have a great
annual mid-winter country life con-
ference -.
- C. P. Craig, chairman of the Min
nesota Efficiency and Economy COM
mission, at dinner attended by
twin city business men and represen-
tatives of the Department of Agri-
culture of the University of Minne-
sofa, at the close of Farmers week,
made the prediction that future
Farmers weeks would bring together
from 1000 to 1000 representative
people of the state for study and the
consideration of rural life problems.
What Mr. Craig sees as possible
development of Farmers week, is be-
lieved in by many of those who kept
in touch with the work done through
the week this year.
The closing meeting, at which Mr..
Craig spoke, was one of great en-
thusiasm. Dean A. F. Woods of the
College of Agriculture, presided and
called upon several county agents
and workers for better agriculture
for fve-minute talks. Every talk
was of the rapid-fire, bulls-eye- hit
ting kind E -. .
Among the county agents called on
were r. C. Palmer, Blue Earth coun-
ty; P. E. Clement, Clay county; D.
B. Jewell, Koochiching county, and
A. L. Norling, Grant, county, Each
Of these men told of some special line
Of effort pursued with success in his
county. F.. B. Palmer, assistant
leader of county agents, followed
with a summary, illustrated :. with
maps, showing results obtained by the
states 81 county agents on the
spread of alfalfa, the increased acre
age of corn, the building of silos, and
so on. r. S. Macintosh outlined the

Division of the College of Agriculture

placed special emphasis on the farm

clubs Of the state, 10000 persons met
each month for social, educational
and business purposes. Thomas
Cooper, director Of Experimental Sta
lions in North Dakota, told how, UNI.
der the stimulus given to the live
stock industry, shipments had in
creased six-fold between 1911 and
1914. Horace M Hill, of Minnea-
polls, spoke as the representative OF.

Prosperity Follows the Auto.


The automobile has undoubtedly
proved tremendous financial drain
upon this country. Nowhere else in
the world has it come into such gen
eral use as a pleasure vehicle, says
the Duluth News Tribune. But no
where else has it adsO been adapted
to so many practical economic uses:
But more than this nowhere else
in the world was it so much needed,
as in no other country were there
such miserably poor roads. Probably
every million of dollars invested in
motor vehicles is now being matched
by another million invested in good
roads which lead everywhere.
These are not merely for the bene-
fit of motor car users, but primarily
the result is to the profit of the mas
ses of the people, especially of the
farmers. No other agency has so
scattered the the surplus money of
those who have it, broadcast over the
country. 1t has been a case of pros
perity following the auto.
No other agency has brought or
could have brought cheaper trans
portation to the farms against the
will of the farmers. This from the
Chicago Herald is even much less
than the full story: r. ~.
"' Good Roads Aids Sales of Autos,
is headline in Tuesdays Herald
over an article. by the head of a lead
ing automobile factory. Transpose
that headline and it is equally true.
Sales of autos aid good roads. In
truth, the nation today owes a great
debt to the automobile for the part
it has played in promoting good high
ways.
wherever you go you will find
evidences of the automobiles good
roads work. AS long as it was sim
ply question of getting products to
markets in wagons or travelling about
in buggiesa there was an unfortunate
tendency to be satisfied with exist
ing roads
"But the automobile appeared on
the scene and changed all that. It
takes only few automobiles in even
a small town to get people to begin
talking about the advantages of good
roads. And it takes only a short
period of this talk for a definite start
to be made. 49,
Before the automobile became
common good roads were more or less
of an argument. Today good roads
are a maximum. You don't have to
spend any more time proving their
advantage than you do in proving
that two and two make four. H., y b
1T is simply question of ways
and means. And one result of the.
general agreement on the main propo-
sition sthat it is easier to find these
ways and means. People are more
willing to pay taxes and vote bond
issues for improving the roads than
ever before. They realize that it is
a valuable public investment.
millions of dollars have been
spent by the American people for au-
tomobiles. And the automobiles
have rendered millions of dollars
worth of strictly public service to
this country in return. The impetus
they have given to good roads is
probably alone worth every cent that
has been spent on them" ,@;zlzst=-

MISSING RoBoTHAM
 WOMAN FOUND BY
 DETECTIVE ALMOST
Woman Suspected To Be Missing One Wife of Bar
 tender At Newtown Inn

Information was received by the Bridgeport police department today which made them believe that they were at last upon the trail of Mrs. Daisy Robotham, of Herkimer, N. r. The Information received here said that a woman closely resembling the missing woman, as well as three year old child. was to be found in the NeWtown Inn.
 = Detective George simon. with the police car was at once sent to the Inn, with the result that he found the wife and child of the hotel bartender, at that place.
 The local police express disbelief in the theory that was advanced that she might have been spirited away by someone who meant tozedo violence to her, saying that such a cause is seldom noted where a woman is trav- cling with a child. Nevertheless they are eager to learn something definite regarding her disappearance. No word has been received from Herkt- mer which tends to throw any light on the situation.
