AN EXPERT ON COLDS

Comparatively lew people realize that
cold is a signal Of physical weakness.
To treat a cold with weakening
physics, alcoholic syrups or drugged
pills, may smother the cold but theyalso
reduce the bodypowers still further and
invite more serious sickness.
SCOTS Emulsion has always been an
expert on colds, because it peculiarly
enriches the blood, quicklytones upthe

Eat Less; Do More.

A fat nation is no good. Lean ma
tions accomplish things. We should
eat less and think more, have smaller
girth and larger chests, less on the hip
and more on the thorax, have fewer
potatoes at dinner and more books
after dinner, more exercise and less
chewing. A strong person can subsist
on little oatmeal and philosophy and
outwalk. outtalk, outthink, and in ev-
cry way outdo the person who travels
the long route from soup to nuts and
goes to sleep afterward as an anaconda
full Of sheep or monkeys might. Life
Is lean affair Of hungry appetites and
ambitions. Then they stimulate to
earnest performance. The regeneration
of the American nation begins at the
dinner table. We need stoutness in
soul not soutness in fat. Eat less and
do more. Grow more above the neck
ard less below the stomach.-Chicago
Tribune.

Heather shrines.

After months spent in idolatrous
lands have been unable to see much
real Worship in heathen shrines. The
educated worship with their tongues
in their cheeks and the ignorant with
their hearts in their mouths. But the
amount of real worship that exists In
heather temples is very small.
Sometimes a bereaved mother will
enter the temple and draw from her
kimono the tiny bib Of departed lit
tie one and tie 1t to the statue Of Jizo,
the god of motherhood. Sometimes an
old man or woman, almost blind, will
enter the temple and rub the eyes Of
a wooden god and then rub his own in
the hope that eternal darkness may
not close in on his affrighted soul In
some places Buddhist services are as
dignified, as well attended and as help
full as our Own.-Maynard Owen VIII

Mearlna 81 $1,000 900, eco.

Americas war loan of $1,000, ,000,-
900 surpasscs tae powers Of the mind
to grasp. Spent at the rate of dollar
minute it would take 1898 years
to dispose Of the appropriation. Loan
ed out at 6 per cent, $13 could be
spent every second for an indefinite
period without touching the principal.
Fhe interest on the loan is greater
than the entire running expenses of
the government less than half a CEN
fury ago, while the amount itself
would conduct the affairs of the gov
ornmcnt fer fully seven years On the
basis of the annual expenditures for
the last decade. Another and more
cheerful way of looking at the situa-
ton is that, great as the loan is, the
wealth of the United States is such
that it amounts to the lending of 81
out Of every $40 Of our existing tangi-
bic resources. A penny day saved by
every inhabitant would cancel the prin-
cipal within twenty years. Thomas T.

Graphite, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, is not a lubricant, but an aid to
keeping a bearing in good working Or
der by filing up the minute irregulart-
ties of the shaft and bearing and pro-
ducing a beautiful polished surface
and In this way reduces friction. To
get this result only very small guam
tity of graphite is necessary, and If
TOO much is applied it simply collects
in wads and defeats the purpose In
tended. 1t follows that the proper way
to use graphite successfully is to mix
thoroughly small quantity with the
lubricating oil at suitable intervals and
not to apply it continuously, for when
the above mentioned polished surface
Is formed it will last quite lolng time
before requiring renewal.

Shad Used For Fertilizer.

Thousands of shad are caught in
the stagnant pools of the York coun-
ty side of the Susquehanna river
south of McCalls Ferry, and there
die, after which they are carted away
by farmers and used as fertilizer.
This statement was made on Monday
by Fish Warden Thad Stroman, who
made an investigation at the request
of lower York county residents, who
are indignant at the extensive des-
truction of the valuable food fish.

ATTORNEYS Want
A COUNTY JUDGE
Webster City Lawyers Hold a Meet
ing and Discuss the Prop
osition.

A business meeting held in the Of
fee OF Wesley Martin yesterday at
ternoon for the purpose of consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of a county judge
for Hamilton county, was fairly well
attended and those present voted in
favor of a county judge and also
against the proposed increase in sal
airy of the present judges. Judge
Kamrar and Attorney G. d. Thomp-
son were appointed delegates to the
meeting of district attorneys held in
Des Moines tonight at the Savery no
tel, for the purpose Of getting plans
in shape for legislative work along
this line.
The idea is to relieve the present
congestion of the district court by
disposing of all petty cases under the
disposition of a county judge. Thus
a probate case would be hustled di-
rectly from justice court to the coun-
ty judge, there to be settled and all
done within a few days of each 9TH
err. In this manner the docket of the
district court would be cleared for
action not now possible. The plan is
in effect in Illinois, Nebraska and
several eastern and southern states.

TO PAV
ING ASSESSMENTS
City Council Holds sesson-A New
Plat and Schedule is
Ordered.

A regular council meeting was
held last night at the city hall with
all members present but Mccullough.
The meeting was for the purpose of
hearing objections on the paving re-
Gently laid on Des Moines and Pros
pect streets. About eight property
owners filed written objections to the
paving and are: Mrs. M. A. Crary es-
tate, Miss Grace Hillock, E. R. Eos
ter, ]. M. Blake, A. P. Woolston, o.
j. Henderson and Mrs. Chas. T.
Smith. All DIRECTORS agreed upon
the statement that their assessments
were unjust and inequitable; some
objected upon the grounds of the
Chase law regarding property 800
feet back from the corner lots. Each
objection also contained something
different from the others.
The result of the hearing was that
the council passed and adopted a
resolution ordering a new plat and
schedule of the paving for Des
Moines and Prospect streets.
Bills to the amount of $17O4.15
were allowed and the meeting adj
journed until Monday evening, Feb.
5th. y
