How CalaTrh
Is Contracted

Mothers are sometimes as
thoughtless as to neglect the
colds which their children cou-
sract. The Inflammation OF the
mucus membrane, at first acute,
becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, a disease
that is seldom cured and that
may prove a life's burden. Many
persons who have this loathsome
disease will remember having
had frequent colds at the time IT
was contracted. A little fore
thought, a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy judiciously used,
and all this trouble might have
been avoided. Obtainable every
where.

The Shererized Store.

The Myers grocery, in the
Polster hotel block has been
further modernized by the install
lation of a Sherer senitary
counter. This counter contains
air and vermin tight compart-
meuts for holding bulk groceries
and does away with the old GUS
tom of leaving such foods in open
barrels and boxes exposed to flies,
bugs, dogs. etc. Walt Mason,
the we'll known poet, recently
wrote the following about the
Sherer-ized store:
I'm running a Shererized store; |
wouldn't 60 back any more, for a
CARLOAD of scads, to the ways Of our
dads, to the sloppy old methods of
yore.
You ask "what does Shererize
mean!" Well, firstly, it's making
things clean; in Shererized store
there's no junk on the floor, no dirt
or disorder is seen. The goods are
protected from fleas; the mice do not
gnaw at the peas; the rat never gloats
Ger the shaker rolled oats, and the
cat doesn't rooSt on the cheese. The
goods that a customer buys aren't
Specked by the frolicsome flies, and
no bow-wow can weep on the crack
ers keep, no matter how often he
tries.
Folks come to my Shererized store,
and when they have looked the place

he wends, he gives me no knocks, but

..
For some weeks now, farmers
all over the states and counties
have been flocking to the local
fairs. some to exhibit to the
public the results of their efforts
and others to zee and observe and
profit by the results achieved BY
their fellows.
Among the many attractions
to be seen at these fairs IL the
inevitable big fat hog. His hog
ship usually tips the beam around
one thousand pounds. and we
stand and marvel at the labor
and patience Il must have re-
quired to develop such swinish
perfection.
Then il we are thinking men
our thoughts will probably pass
on to wonder II the owner Of this
marvel has sons of his own, and
as to how great an effort he is
making to develop them to the
highest type to which they are
capable of attaining. The hogs
owner has been careful to elimin-
ate from its progeuitors all that
would tend to take from its full
and complete development. Has
he been just as careful to weed
out of his own life habits and
traits of character that would
initiate against the development
of his son?
Often we have seen 4 boy sue
coed in life despite the short.
cominRs of 4 darelict father, and
We have contented ourselves with
the simple remark that the boy
is a great improvement on the
father. The tribute is weak and
paltry. Little do we reck of the
fight the boy hes waged in order
to rise above his surroundings
and overcome his haudicaps.
Envoirment is mighty and
powerful for good or evil. The
greatest blessing 4 boy can have
Is parents who can point and
guide him toward higher things
higher heights even than those
to which they have attained.
At the risk of seeming to
preach We wish to say to the
fathers of this section that when
you look upon the big hog You
have seen the ultimate. Nothing
further is obtainable unless,
possibly, it be 4 little more of
the same porcine perfection. But
when you look upon your small
son, how little you can see of the
limitless possibilities for good
aud i'll that lie in that small mind
and heart, and how your care of
him is going to mould his life
into almost whatever you may
will to make it!
Why not think less of the big
hog and more of the small boy?

BELLEVUE GLOOMY
ON EVE OF BATTLE
Gustafson, Mainstay of In
dians' Eleven, Won't Line
Up Against Doane.
PEssIMIsM HITS RIOTERS

Big Gus has blood poisoning and
can't play against Doane!'
This was the announcement that
dropped like a bombshell in the
Bellevue college training camp yes
terday and brought CONSERVATION to
the hearts of the purple and gold
rooterS.
Big Gus, alias Waldemar Gustaf-
son, "The Terrible Swede,' for the
last four years has been one man up
on whom the coaches could rely.
Two minutes playing time in over
three seasons is all Gus has lost, and
THAT was in his first year. The one
hundred eighty-fve pound guard has
been a tower Of defense and has
opened holes on the offense like a
battering ram. His absence will
weaken greatly the Indian line to-
morrow afternoon when Bellevue
meets Doane at Crete. ..t.. .
Coach Admits Defeat.
With Gus out of the game Coach
Benjamin plans a wholesale eleventh
hour shift of the forward line. Kin
nier, the veteran center, will be
moved to tackle, Picotte going from
half to center. Johns will go to left
guard, Allen and Daugherty remain
ing on the right side ofasthe line.
With a line which has never played
together before and with Williams
out of the game still and a substitute
) taking his place at right end, Coach
Benjamin admits that Bellevue will
be lucky to hold Doane to two touch
downs.
, To make matters worse, spirit in
the student body has sunk to a low
ebb. The project of the rooters 60
ing to Doane in a body, which was
hailed with so much enthusiasm last
week, now seems to be on the point
of being dropped for lack of the
thirty people necessary to get spe-
cial car on the Burlington.
All told, Bellevue's chances of
beating Doane this year, which
looked so bright two weeks ago, have
sunk to the vanishing point.
