We know of no way hi which we can be of more service to our readers than to tell them of something that will be of real good to them. For this reason we want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best remed­ ies on the market, for coughs, colds, and that alarming complaint, croup. We refer to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We have used it with such good results in otlr family so long that it has become a household necessity. By its prompt use we haven't any doubt but that it has time and as:ain prevented croup. The testimony is given upon our own experience, and we suggest that our readers, especially those who have small children, always keep it in their bomes as a safeguard against croup. -- Camden, (S. C.) Messenger. For sale by Julia A. Story and G. W. Besley. Nicholas Wort* Dead. Nicholas Worts, who was so terribly burned on Sunday, Feb. 2, died at four o'clock Friday morning,- after five days of awful suffering. During all that time he was unable to eat anything, being so badly burned about the body, the stomach was probably baked and failed to perform its duties. The de­ ceased came to McHenry from Germany about thirty years ago, having spent most of that time working on farms and doing odd jobs. At one time he S8et»be4 some money and land, but t is said h*> lost it all through being to generous ita leudiag money to friends He has a sister living in 6'ijj^ago. tiuved Him from Torture. There U no more agonizing trouble than piles. The* constant itching and burning make life i».tolerable. No position js comfortable. The torture is unceasing. PeWitt's Witch Ha^I Salve cures pile* at once. For s*in diseases, cuts, burns, bruises, all kinds of woutula it is unequaled. J. 8. Ger- all, St. Paul. Ark., says: "Frtfm I suffered with the protruding, bleeding pile* and could find nothing to help me until I used DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. A f«w boxes completely cured me." Beware erf counterfeits.

The Annual Round-lip --Great Interest Manifested l>y Farmers. At the Illinois Farmers' Institute an^ nual round-up meeting to be held in the city of Rockford next week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Feb. 18, 19, 20 and 21, a splendid program consisting of live stock, horticultural, domestic science and dairy sessions, and one session each devoted to experiment station work and improvement of country schools has been arranged. There will also be class work each day in corn judging, domestic science, horti­ culture and live stock. These class ev- ercises will afford those interested am­ ple opportunity for securing instruction along the most advanced lines of agri­ culture, which every farmer should take advantage of. These meetings will be addressed by some of the most practical speakers and teachers in Illinois and other states and include Prof. E. Davenport, Prof H. M. Mumford, Prof. J. C. Blair, Prof. A. D. Shamel, Prof. Joseph Carter, Prof. P. G. Holden, Prof. O. J. Kern, President Walter R. Kimsey, Secretary A. B. Hostetter, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Dnnlap, A. P. Grout, Fred H. Rankin, Mrs. S. Noble King, Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith and others. The high character of the papers pre­ sented, the able discussion of every phase of advanced agriculture, and the meeting with the large number of suc- < <;t«mul farmers and stoclnaen and others engaged in rural pursuits make the an­ nual meetings oj especial interest to all who are trying to keep pace with the rapid development of all that pertains to farm life. An open rate of a fare and a third for the round trip has been granted by the Western Passenger association. Delegates are expected from every county in the state, and every farmer in McHenry county who can possibly avail himself of the opportunity should attend this meeting. Geo. A. Hunt, director of the Illinois Farmers' Institute from this district, desires all those in attendance from McHenry county to meet at the Nelson House at 1 o'clock p. m. on Wednesday, Feb. 19. Those who are unable to secure ac­ commodations at the hotels should ap­ ply to W. W. Bennett, room 207, Masonic temple, on South Main street, who will see that all are provided for, and pages will be sent with them to show rooms. The people of Rockford will leave nothing undone which will add to the pleasure and comfort of visitors. 1 IMIIBllHMHMIimillHWiiflMtW t ravel, and adventure each, in addition to all the news of the world at large.

The Scientific American is now placed in the library each week by The Plain- dealer Co. School will be closed Friday of this week as the teachers will attend the meeting at Woodstock. With picks and shovels, provided they get permission, the boys could con­ struct a fine coasting place behind the school house. Why not, boys? But be sure and get the right of way before beginning the work. Efforts are being made to have one of the basement rooms arranged for basket ball. This would be a good scheme and one step in the advancement of physical culture, a feature that can now be found in many high schools of the state. There is no rrason why the students of our public schools should not be given physicial training as well as those of the higher colleges. It is to be hoped that basket ball is a sure thing for the McHenry school. It niay lead tfr other good things in that line. While driving through the country in the winter did you ever notice the dis­ trict school houses scattered along the road? Have you noticed that in nearly every instance the building stands in a barren spot? Didn't it appear lonely? Then the buildings areofttimes a fright. Just a square house, not much larger than a good-sized dry goods box, with small windows and wood shutters that give it the appearance of a prison. Then in many cases, especially in the southern part of the state, the buildings do not receive a coat of paint, inside nor out, once in twenty years. In many places the teacher must reach the school house early enough to build the fire and get the room warm before the pupils arrive. With such a state of affairs ex isting is it any wonder that there is a scarcity of teachers? Wuen the lonely and barren looking school house is com­ pared with the warm city offices and stores, is it any wonder that our gradu­ ates choose the latter?

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Tbe Kind You Have Always Bought Alum Baking Powders. There are so many alum baking pow­ ders about, most ol which are repre­ sented to be made of cream of tartar, that the following list of powders in which chemists have fohnd alum will be of value: (. 'ALl'MKT Contains Alum Miinf.by Calumet HakinK I 'uwdor <. 'o..Chicago [ . C Contains Alum. Manf. by Juquos Mftf. Co., Chicago. UNRIVALED Contains Alum.. Manf. by Srpr;i£uc, Warner & Co., Chicago.

It costs but two cents a pound, while cream of tartar costs thirty. The quality of the powder is therefore, usually indicated by the price. Clerk'H Wine SucrvhMoii. "I have lately bi-en much troubled with dyspepsia, belching and sour stomach," writes M. S. Mead, leading pharmacist of Attleboro, Mass. "I could eat hardly anything without suf fering several hours. My clerk suggest­ ed I try Kodol Dyspepsia Cure which I did with most happy results. I have had no more trouble and when one can go to eating mince pie, cheese, candy and nuts after such a time, their diges­ tion must lie pretty good. I endorse Kodol Dyspepsia Cure heartily." You don't have to diet. Eat all the good food you want but don't overload the stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests your food. Julia A. Story, McHenfy; G. W. Besley, West McHenry. THXAH.
