THE QUICK WAY TO STOP A COUGH When you have a severe, stubborn, cough or cold, you need the best 'possible medicine you can get. Why not, therefore, get one which is guaranteed the most soothing and satisfactory remedy ever used, or get your money back? Druggists everywhere are authorized to refund money if SCHIFFMANN’S EXPECTORANT is not found the very best ever used for Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Croup, Whooping Cough or Hoarseness. When mixed at borne with honey or sugar syrup, 60 cents worth makes 64 teaspoon dul. Positively contains no chloroform, opium, morphine or any other narcotic, and is unlike any other cough medicine. It is so pleasant to take that children are fond of it. In case druggists should not have it order direct of R. J. Schiffmann, St. Paul, Minn. —Advt ;

HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

FAIR OAKS Our schools opened Monday with one new teacher in place of Miss William Myres’ little boy is . quite sick with inflammation of the bowels. James Clifton and others are putting down the floor in the gymnasium this week. The unfinished stone road in Newton county for which Frank Teach had the contract, is now being completed. Gugan, who resigned. Rain did you say? Well, yes. w lots of it. The roads have gotten in very bad condition. It rained most three days straight. The influenza has somewhat Blackened up now. Those that were down are on the road to recovery. Alva Brouhard took a relapse and is now having a siege of pneumonia. The rye and wheat in these parts are looking fine and If the weather

What Determines Meat and Live-Stock Prices? Some stock men still think that .Swift & Company—and other big packers—can pay as little for live-stock as they wish. Some consumers are still led to believe that the packers can charge as much for dressed meat as they wish. This is not true. These prices are fixed by a law of human nature as old as human nature itself—the law of supply and demand. When more people want meat than there is meat to be had, the scramble along the line to get it for them sends prices up. When there is more meat than there are people who want it, the scramble all along the line to get rid of it within a few days, while it is still fresh, sends prices down. When prices of meat go up, Swift & Company not only can pay the producer more, but has to pay him more, or some other packer will. Similarly, when prices recede all down the line Swift & Company cannot continue to pay the producer the same prices as before, and still remain in the packing business. All the packer can do is to keep the expense of turning stock into meat at a minimum, so that the constimer can get as much as possible for his money, and the producer as much as possible for his live-stock. Thanks to its splendid plants, modem methods, branch houses, car routes, fleet of refrigerator cars, experience and organization, Swift & Company is able to pay for live cattle 90 per cent of what it receives for beef and by-products, and to cover expense of production and distribution, as well as its profit (a small fraction of a cent per pound)/ . out of the other 10 per cent.

There seems to be considerable dispute over what to do with the Kaiser, now that he has lost his job. Why not let him husk corn a few weeks?

LETTERS FROM OUR SOLDIERS

(Continued from page one)

over three months before I got a. letter from home, so any. news was sure welcome to me. We were relieved at the front several days ago and am back now resting and cleaning up. We sure were dirty, as we hadn t a chance to get a bath for six weeks. When we were up at the front we slept on the floor or ground, and sometimes when we were going up it would be several cays without sleep and 'maybe one meal a day. I’ll tell you it was no fun, but you mever heard anyone complain. We were all anxious to go ahead. , , The weather here has been rather cool with lots of rain. Have had several pretty good frosts here. I have got a good bunk now and two blankets and get good eats. Had tomatoes, beans, bread pudding, bread and cojfee for su'pper, all of it that we wanted so you see we get good feed. Well I guess I have written about ail I know for this time, so guess I had better quit. Will write again soon. Your nephew and cousin, - JOHN.

George M. Babcock Hopes to Be Home By Christmas.

In a letter received Wednesday from George M- Babcock, who is still at the Wilbur Wright field, Dayton, Ohio, and written Monday night, he says, among other things: This has been quite an eventful day or evening, for us. Wje did not have supper until 7 ° elock, but it was a big affair, served n courses extending .from soup to cigars, including fried chicken, ice cream and cake. The occasion for such festivities marked the farewell of the squadron commander and the welcome to the new commlding officer. Spoeel.es were made afterwards, but I duckea out” in order to write a few letters. When I got to the K. of C. building I found the program tonight nrovided a jazz orchestra, so I am dividing m y time between this Ster Ind listening to the music, which is furnished by colored people from Dayton. I do not know how long it win be vet before we are discharged from the army, but hope the time will come soon, because I wou d like to get home and help you. We have heard several rumors, which range from a month to six weeks, but one cannot always tell, as this army was not built in a day, and I suppose will fiot be demobilized in a great hurry. But

I a>m< going to try very hard to get home by Christmas or before, as I 'hear we will have a bettier right to look for furloughs after having been in' the service a year or more. The good people of Springfield are going to have ue fellows at their homes for Thanksgiving dinner. That is a wonderful city for real hospitality and most of us are trying to think of some way by which we can properly thank them when we leave here, because it is impossible to be treated any more royally than they have treated us, and they never seem to be satisfied with all they do for us. The weather here tonight, feels very much like snow may be with us before Thanksgiving. It has rained practically all day and last night, and is considerably cooler than yesterday. Dayton had a wonderful parade yesterday in celebrating the end of the war, there being twentythree bands in line, besides other interesting features. We have been watching he antics of a monoplane when the weather would permit the last few days. It seems almost impossible a single-winged ship could canty two passengers and do the things this one does at such a rapid rate of speed. It would be interesting to remain in the cervice and see the rapid development of the airplane by the government, because I believe its possibilities have hardly passed out of the embryolic stage as yet. I hope we can soon hear that “Deb” is homeward bound. He surely will have a bunch of interesting stories to tell. All of us fellows here have decided to take a very back seat when those lucky enough to get across start to tell how they licked the Germans.

THE TEST OF MERIT

Rensselaer People Are Given Convincing Proof. No better test of any article can be made than the test of time and this is particularly true of a kidney 'medicine. Doan’s Kidney Pill® have stood this test and stood it well What better proof of the merits of this remedy could you demand, than the statement of a Rensselaer resident who used it successfully and tells of lasting Y*PQT| 1 f Q Read the following: Jacob R. Wilcox, retired farmer, says: “I suffered from backaches and severe pains across my loins. I couldn’t rest day or night and was tired and worn out. The kidney secretions were highly colored and contained sediment. Nothing seemed to relieve me until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills from B. F. Fendig’s drug store. They relieved the aches and pains, I could rest better nights and my kidneys were regulated.” (Statement given May '’On February 29 1916, Mr. Wilcox said: “I continue recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills as a reliable medicine They have never failed to do good work.’’ Price* 60c, at all dealers. Don t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr. Wilcox had. Foster-Mil-burn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y- — Advt.
