Why any Republican tariff reformer should hang onto the Republican party until he is kicked out by President Taft or anybody else, passes understanding. Most of them, it can be | said to their credit, are going out without waiting to be kicked. President Taft has announced that he will ask congress at its next session to permit the secretary of the Anterior to issue $10,000,000 of bonds to complete the irrigation projects now under way. It is said that it will take $100,000,000 to complete the work now started, but doubtless Mr. Taft thinks it will not do, at this time, in view of his statement about cutting down expenses, to tell the public about it. But according to a Washington despatch there is going to be a big demand far other bond Issues. The dispatch says: “The request for an irrigation bond issue of $10,000,000 or more is not the only request of this sort that will be made of congress at the coming session. The rivers and harbors congress is coming along with more than a request —a demand—for a bond issue of $50,000,000 a year for river and harbor improvements. Another organiteation which is putting out a propoganda in favor of the reclamation of the swamp lands of the country also intends to ask for a bond issue, if the government proposes to raise money An that way for the reclamation of arid ivn's, or for the improvement of rivers and harbors. These new demands on the treasury lead observers here to wonder what has become of that much talked of movement to reduce government expenses." t.

MOTHER'S OATS are different from other's oats and different from ordinary oatmeal. They are put up in sanitary sealed packages. But there’s more to MO I HER S OA I S than the pac'.age; they are the best oats in the world, the best selection of the best crops. Every batch that comes to our mills is screened and only the ripe, big grains are marketed. They are not only sterilized, but steamed (to burst the protcid cells); then rolled (to render the cooking easy), and after that, MOTHER’S OATS are crushed (to hasten their digestion)—easy work for the stove, easy work for the stomach and more work for the mam There’s a coupon in every package of Mother s Cereals. "Y ou can collect enough of them in a little while to own a Fireless Cooker for nothing. Your grocer will tell you how to get it free. There are a number of ways and all of them make it worth while to buy Mother’s Cereals: Mother’s Oats, Mother’s Com Meal (white or yellow), Mother’s Wheat Hearts (the cream of the wheat), Mother’s Hominy Grits, Mother’s Com Flakes (toasted), Mother’s Coarse Pearl Hommy, Mother’s Old Fashioned Steel Cut Oatmeal, Mother’s Old Fashioned Graham Flour.

TURKEY CROP IN GOOD SHAPE The turkey crop this year, tt 1» said, promises to measure well In numbers with that of last season. In quality the average is probably higher, as the late summer and fall have been favorable to their development. The dry weather of last year killed off the grasshoppers, one of the principal sources of food for the growing turkeys. This year they have had grasshoppers in abundance. O " The Sim Haines meat market on Madison street is undergoltag a painting process and is being repapered, which makes a very neat appearance and improvement. Ray and Miller, the well known painters, are doing the work.

Treas | 5 urer Mills of the school board, speak--1-1 ing for the board, said thut he ’ thought it would be the best possible i thing the school board could do to j install a system of training and the | 5 members are heartily in favor of it. ( ’• But for the lack of room and money, ' manual training will not be installed at least for the present. Special, teachers would be- required and the >. board does not feel able to meet the demand. The main fact is, however, “ that if the people desite a system of training for their children and are | enthusiastic enough to work for it, • it fe within their reach, according to the statement of one f>f the school trustees. -o — NOTICE Miss Jean Lutz has on display at Mrs. Burdge’s millinery store, artistic handpainted scarf pins, belt pins, ) and hat pitas for Xmas presents.

END OE SESSION The Commissioners Have Spent Much Time on Macadam Roads ALLOWING BILLS Considerable Business Was Attended to During the Session The commissioners were still paying attention to some of the roads in the county, being out both yesterday and today, however meeting long enough to finish some little business which was uncompleted.

The covered bridge north of the city is to be lighted with electric light the same to be furnished by the Fort Wayne & Springfield jPraction company.

All covered bridges are about as dark as they make them, but this particular • bridge is a little worse than any other. ■ The allowance of bills and the completion of the session has been the work today. _ CAUSES DEBILITY Here Are Facts Backed up by a Strong Guarantee. Catarrh causes debility. In our opinion, most people suffering from general debility have catarrh. Such cases of debility cannot be completely ■ cured by medicine not designed to i eradicate catarrh. In every case where our remedy fails to give entire satisfaction we will not charge a cent for the medicine employed during the trihl. Now, surely no one should hesitate to believe us or to put our claim to a practical test under such conditions. We will take all the rfek; no one else can lose anything by the transaction. i We make these statements and this offer because we know and have time and again proved that Rexall MucuTone rarely fails to do as we claim It is not a cureall prescribed to cure every disease that flesh is heir to. It is intended for one purpose, i. e. to cure catarrh by assailing the diseased condition in a reasonable, scientific way, which is to employ agents that have been found to have the tonic and alterative power to oorrect faulty metabolism (tissue change) and to stimulate and help nature overcome the cause or causes of catarrh. This being done, appetite increases, nu--1 trition improves, weight is gained, comfort of body is attained and life's i work taken up with the zest natural to the perfectly healthly individual. We want you to try Rexall MucuTone. Follow directions and take it regularly and consistently for a reasonable length of time. Then, if yon are not satisfied, come back and tell us and the money you paid for the treatment will be returned without any argument whatever. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, 50c and SI.OO a bottle. Sold only at our store —The Rexall Store. Smith & Yager Drug Co. o KILLS HER FOE OF 20 YEARS “The most merlcless enemy I had ' for 20 years,’* declares Mrs. James I Duncan, of Haynesville, Me., “was 'Dyspepsia.
