Editor Plaindealer: The Illinois World's Fair commissioners have'just a meeting here and gone over the whole ground relating to the prepara­ tions for the Illinois exhibits at the gt«at fair of this year. They found feat good progress has been made but that much remains to be done. The state's building is 85 per cent complet­ ed, but has lately been delayed by the strikes of the plasterers, who have been demanding (7 a day for work on the job. 8enator Shumway, chairman of the committee on building and grounds, made an extended report, and assured the commissioners that no state will have so attractive a building as that of Tllinnia, when it is completed. He was authorized to let the contract for the decoration, and to proceed with the im­ provement of the grounds. The chairman of the commission. Sen­ ator H. M. Dunlap, informed the com­ mission that the expenditures made and in sight seemed to justify the statement that the building would be made ready for furnishing at a cost of less than |75, 000, which is about $65,000 less than the Original bids contemplated. Commissioner Mahoney reported that committer is making good progress toward the arrangements for a showing of the work of the Illinois state institu­ tions, especially the reformatory at Fontiac, and the institutions for the deaf and dumb and the blind at Jack­ son villa Commissioners Craig on agriculture, Dunlap on horticulture. Funk on live stock and Warder on mines and min­ erals all reported good progress. The greatest difficulty met by some of them is found in arranging the method of in­ stallation so as to conform to the com mission ere' ideas of economy and the fair managers' ideas of glitter and dig play. Mr. Warder was authorized to arrange for a place to receive and store the material for the mines and minerals display until it is ready to be installed. The commissioners will hold another iseeting in February, when it is be lieved they will be able to see practi «ally to the end of the big job they have ^ Ja hand. | C»r«d After Buffeting Ten Yeats. I B. F. Hare, Supt. Miami Cycle A Mfg. Co., Middle town, O., suffered for ten years with dyspepsia. He spent hundreds of dollars for medicine and with doctors without receiving any per- / manent benefit. He says: "One night }•:. while feeling exceptionally bad I was :about to throw down the evening paper ; when I saw an item in the paper re- .garding the merits of Eodol Dyspepsia g ," Cure. I concluded to try it and while I bad no faith in it I felt better after |v • the second dose. After using two hot- ties I am stronger and better than I have been in years, and I recommend Kodol Dyspepsia Cure to my friends and * acquaintances suffering from stomach trouble.'

Sutton is still in the live stock business for all there is in it is ev­ idenced by the following article clipped from the Harrisburg, S. D., News: "Ed. Sttton, one of Lincoln county's up-to-date stock raisers, sold a fine tat bunch of hogs to Wm. O'Connor, Tues­ day, this being the second bunch of hogs this season. Also to add to his credit he sold a fine team of coal black Per- cheron horses to Ferguson and Myers of Marengo, 111., for $250.

There are about 200,000 doctors in the United States, or about one for every S50 people. It has been approximately estimated that the average yearly in- oome of these men is $750, or that the public in the country pays $150,000,000 annually for medical attendance, omit­ ting entirely the money spent for patent medicines which brings millions of dol­ lars to manufacturers, or the amounts Spent for doctor's prescriptions, or paid to quacks and commercial doctors. The preparation for the practice of medicine that gives a man a good standing in the profession meanB an expense of, liberal­ ly speaking. $4,000 for four years in reputable medical school, $1,000 for general expenses during two years' hos­ pital service, and perhaps another $1,000 : for setting up in practice. A year or ao in Europe is also a help. An Editor Speak*. Editor Lynch of "Daily Post," Phil- , ipsbnrg, N. J., has tested the merits of , Foley's Honey and Tar with thiH renult: *'I have used many patent remedies in toy family for coughs and colds, and I ; can honestly say that your Honey and ^ Tar is the best thing of the kind I have ' «var used and I cannot say too much in ase of itv" Sold by G. W. Besley, The peculiar cough which indicates croup is usually well known to the mothers of croupy children. No time should be lost in the treatment of it, and for this purpose no medicine has re­ ceived more universal approval than Chamberlain's Cough Reuiady. Do not waste valuable time in experimenting with untried remedies, no matter how highly they may be recommended, but give this medicine as iirected and all symptoms of croup will quickly disap­ pear.

We have received the following letter from Mr. Roy Kemp of Angola, Ind., "I was in bed four weeks with la grippe and I tried many remedies and spent considerable fo? treatment with physi­ cians, but I received no relief until I tried Foley's Honey and Tar.
