Miss Bess Irwin who had been visiting her uncle Will's family in Alt'iona, returned home Tuesday evening, accompanied by her cousin Miss Helen Irwin, of A! toon a The br-jwers in their conven tion at Milwaukee resolved that they would give their efforts to wards putting out of existence all but the decent saloons. If they succeed they will no doubt wipe out the business as com pletely as the Prohibitionists would, for there are but few de cent saloons. The Normal school which has been in progress here during the p-ist eight weeks, closed its work yesterday, and to day and to morrow Superintendent Lamber has charge of those who are ap plicants for certificates. The class is large, and we do not envy either the examiner or the teach ers the fun they will get out of the job this hot weather. The young people who have attended the school this term have been a model set, and the town will feel the loss of their presence. Many a woman goes out shop ping dressed in silk and envelop ed in perfume whose hardwork ing husband hasn't had a new suit, hi clothes or a decent meal in five years. Yes, and many a loafer stands on the street with a vile pipe in his face, his tank full of "booze" and his mouth full of profanity, whose hard-working wife hasn't had a new dress or a kind word since she was married. There are pussz'es and puzzles but here is a puzzle that puzzles everybody: Take the number of your living brothers, double the amount, add to it three, multiply by five, add to it the number of living sisters, multiply by ten, add the number of deaths of brothers and subtract 150 from the result. The right figure will be the number of deaths, the middle will be the number of living sisters, and the left will show the number of living broth ers. Try it and see and then tell why it figures out so. It has been frequently sug gested and tho sugestion is a good cne, for every farmer to place his name and the name of his farm on his road gate. Notonly would persons driving to a place more easily And it, but it would add more pleasure and interest to people d riving from place to place. This last result would have special effect with regard to well kept and pretty houses. An observmgperson will seldom pass a beautiful farm without desiring to know who is its enterprising owner. A number of subscribers who are back with their subscriptions need to get a move on.

With the approach of harvest comes the chance for tens of thousands of able-bodied men throughout the country. The demand for agricultural laborers is enormous, owing to the tact that the farmers, as a rule, es caped the late financial depres sum. Their last year's crops were large, and they have money in the bank with which to pay for the garnering of their har vests. The excess for idleness and suffering ends, as the har vest season begins. A move to the country will be good frr the working people who go and for those whom they leave behind. The only living American ex president is Grover Cleveland. He has been a private citizen for eleven years. Benjimiu liar i ison died eight years after his retirement, but President Arthur survivod less than 20 months. Mr. Hayes lived 12 years and Grant eight years. John Adams, however, survived for 25 years, Fillmore 21, Madison and John Quincy Adams each 19, and Jef ferson 17 years. In 1868 there were three ex presidents still living Fillmore, Pierce and Buch anan but since 1875 there have never been more than two alive at the same time, and for the greater part of the period there has been hut one. t Decree For Congressman Focht.

It stop ped the hemorrhages and pain in my lungs and they are now as sound as a bullet." Trout's drug store. A Hint to The Wise. TheDemocraticConvention will meet soon at Denver, to nominate the candidate for President. With the Republican c andidate already chosen, the campaign will shortly begin in earnest. Naturally, until the curtain fi nally goes down in November, things will be humming political ly; many interesting things will be done and said; and many inter esting personalities will appear on the stage of Greater American Politics. It behooves the unbiased news paper reader, the spectatorof this stirring political drama, regard less of his political faith, to have a complete view of the stage; a thing that "The Philadelphia Re cord" enables every reader to have. "The Record" is a Democratic newspaper, and it speaks well for its independence and reliability that in a Republican stronghold it enjoys the confidence of a large Republican clientele, in addition to its thousands of Democratic subscribers. Reasons for this are not far to seek. It is due to the excellent news service iurnished in "The Record." This year the com pleteness and reliability of the campaign news will be fully up to the mark established in former presidential years and any regu lar reader can tell you what that means. There may be some doubts as to the next choice for Presideut, but there is no question at all that "The Daily and Sunday Record" receives the votes as Philadel phia's favorite newspaper. Join the crowd! Harveat. By the time this paper is through the press, harvest will be on in earnest. From present in dications, the yield of all kinds of grain will be unusually large at least there will be a great deal of straw to handle, and it is believed that it is tilled well. Hay is abundant. One year ago, farm ers were getting ten dollars a ton for it "out of the field." Now it it bringing five, and some pur chasers are getting it for even loss than that. Corn is scarce, and farmers that have it, are un decided as to whether they want to part with it at $1 50 a barrel. From present indications, corn will oe sold for a much lower price inside of a year. Should this be the case, the farmers will have as much money, for the in creased crop wilt make up for the lower price. Ouraft OtMai Pre rants Pneumonia How Our National Bridget I Prepared. Congress, holding thn puise striugs, has determined the na lioual disbursements for the fis cal year of 1908 1909. It recent ly adjourned with a world record for votiug public money, and the executive and the administrative authorities are dutifully certain to score a new wo.-ld record in spending the unprecedented to tal. This annual chapter in budg ets rea-ls largo in every line. It was as ambitious in its beginning as it has been in its ending. The procedure was begun last Sep tember, when official by official, bureau by bureau, department by department, contributed io buildiug up the book of estimates, till it composed 700 broad pages of federal print. When the Sec retary of the Treasury, in Decern ber, dispatched wagon-loads of those documents to the Capitol, they constituted formal and ofti. cial notice that almost $1, 100,000, 000 would be required of Con gross at that session for the main tenance of the national Govern ment. Probably a more valiant defense of the Treasury was nev er made, and possibly none was ever less successful. Designs upon the national strong-box multiplied and were supported by Congressional majorities. The ten-thousand dollar items grew into hundred thousand dollar items. Millions were piled upon millions, heedless of all watchdog warnings, until at last the tower ing total of ten figures, solitary and alone among the high peaks of ( lovornment expenditures, was reached. Treasury officials are at a loss for descriptions that will bring the billion-dollar term with in the average mental grasp. The sum will require every penny from customs, internal taxes, and postal supplies. It will also drain low the quarter-billion res ervoir of surplus. It is almost one-third of all the money in the land, more thau half the value of all the cargoes and carloads of an nual exports, and only $200,000, 000 less than the value of all our imports. A billion of money in twenty dollar yellow ba.-.k would weigh over seventy tons. Compactly stacked against the Washington Monument, they would make twenty -five sepprate piles, 550 feet high, reaching from the mon ument's foundation to its very top. To count a billion silver dol lars, the best Treasury expert, working eight hours every busi ness day, would require a century and three years more. Where will all this money go? It was ap propriated through fourteen great supply bills, under more or less arbitrary classifications. The disbursements, however, may be roughly grouped in three grand divisions, as follows: Postal Service $225,000,000 Military Service 500,000,000 Other government service 225,000,000 From "The Government as a Spender," by Ernest G. Walker, in the American Review of Re views for July. Foley's Orino Laxative, the new laxative, stimulates, but does not irritate. It is the best laxative. Guaranteed or your money back.
