LISTEN* to the pleadings of the board of health. A few hours of work or a few dollars expended in time is cheaper than contending with disease germs and pestilence. THE article in The Saturday Evening Post last week, concerning Hon. Wm. Lorimer, must certainly be a sweet morsel for the editor of The Record- Herald, and others. THE Hampshire Register has been enlarged from a five-column to six- colnmn quarto. The Register has al­ ways been a good paper, thoroughly covering the local field. In its new form it represents our idea of what & country weekly should be. THE Streator merchant who ssigned his fortune of $50,000 to John Alexander Do wie and burned his stock of tobacco and meats may live to invent a kicking machine. It is only a matter of time when such a machine wijl be in great demand among the followers of Elijah II. IN demanding congress to wake up and get down to business on the Cuban reciprocity question, President Roose­ velt, by his fearless words, has won the admiration of the nation. He, like millions of others, has seen enough of the spectacular in the senate chamber, and would now have some real legis­ lative acting. It would have been far better to have refused Cuba her inde­ pendence than to leave her gasping for an existanee that is well nigh impos­ sible under the present conditions. How many people will suffer if the tariff on Cubaft sugar is cut twenty per cent? How many will suffer if the agricultur­ ists of Cuba can not make sngar at a profit? PROBATE NEWS 7000b 800 00 1850 00 11 00 35 00 1 &C' 1100 12 00 630 00 PROSPERITY AND STRIKES. So far as can be ascertained, says the State Journal, the strikes that have at­ tracted attention of late appear to be due to the prosperous conditions that prevail throughout the industrial world. They have been based upon the prevail­ ing prosperity by demands for a larger share in it in the shape of higher wages or shorter hours, but in no instance up­ on any claim of actual hardship or suf­ fering. In most instances the issue has been the recognition of the labor unions, and the strikes have been intended as an exhibition of their power and to com­ pel recognition of their right to deter­ mine the conditions of labor. In all of these cases, however, it is clear that there could be no hope for success un­ less exceptional prosperity existed. Workmen could not afford the risk of such strikes unless they had been doing well, had saved some money and had accumulated a surplus in the treasury of their unions. Had these conditions been reversed, they would not feel able to leave their work and take the chance of being idle for weeks or months. We do not hear of such strikes when times are dull, when mills and factories are closing down or running on part time or with a short force, when employ­ ment is hard to find and workers are glad to accept it at any wages and under any conditions. It is a serious question whether work- ingmen often gain anything by sti iking even when they are doing well and can afford to be idle for a time. Capital never stops until is is compelled to. It is anxious to accumulate all the time and it makes the most of good times. Production is increased to the utmost so long as a demand exists and a profit can be obtained, and there is no ces­ sation of operations until the condi­ tions become unfavorable. The same opportunity is presented to labor. In good times it has all it can do at high wages and has a similar chance to get ahead. Prosperity alone can afford it such a chance. It is for its interest to keep on producing wealth and getting its share. It cannot increase its share by stopping work and having less to distribute. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

The land is now selling at low figures, but is bound to increase in value as it has done during the past few years. The crops there are looking fine and pros­ pects are bright for a good harvest. Some farmers are turning their atten­ tion to dairying. Mr. Young thinks seriously of investing in a farm near Chippewa Falls. CASTOR IA Jt or Infants and Children.

The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths. There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep- tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it -- heart disease pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al­ lowed to advance the kidney -po iso ned blood will attack the vital organs or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles most always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald­ ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won­ derful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sized bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new dis­ covery and a book that tells all about it, both Home of Swamp-Root, sent free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton, N. Y.
