Because you have contracted or dinary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment Imagine that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin in a com mon cold. Consumption is not caus ed by a cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and de velopment of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment. It Is the snme with all Infectious diseases. Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are much more likely to he contracted when the child has a cold. Yon will see from thla that more real danger lurks In a cold than In any other of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold Is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy The many remarkable cures effected by this preparation have made It a staple article of trade over a large part of the world.

Ev ery officer and man of tho visiting Americans will receive a silver souv enir. Viscount Ita said:' "Tho com ing of the great Amerlrnn fleet to Japan will be one-of the most strik ing events In our history. We must extend to It our most sincere wel come.

But In this case the rivalry will be one of good offices and kindly greetings, an art for which the Japanese nre now world famous. HOMESEEKEIiS IN WANT.

SiK-nker Says Ills Policies May Make Votes for Bryan. ALBUQUERQUE, N, M Sept. 30. A feature of tho National Irriga tion Congress today was the uddrui of D. C. lleaman. Mr. Benninn's address wan an uu sworvlng attack on the forestry ser vice and Its head, Otffor'l Plnchot. He said' "No policy of recent yenrs has done Bo much to alienate the friends or tne government as tho mistaken policy of the forest service, and If any of the mountain states snarl go democratic this fall it will bo chiefly for thnt reason. If a state govern-' ment hnd treated its people in such a manner It would have been ousted at the next election." Mr. Beamau dlscui-ed the con tents or many or Mr. Inchot's cir culars, ns well as Interviews and Blaionients credited to him printed In newspapers and magazines, under the caption, "Wasting our Resources nnd Other Hobgoblins." He Bnld: "Mr. Plnchot says we are wasting our resources; thnt they will soon bo exhausted, whoroaB they should be preserved Tor posterity. This he es pecially, applies to coal, Iron nnd timber. It Is ensy to make this churge, but has Mr. Plnchot ever In formed us just whnt we are to do to prevent this so-cnlled waste? Shall we Btop mining coal, shut down our stool works, gns and eledtrlo plants, nnd go back to the blacksmith shop1 and the tallow caudle? It is nothing new to hnve hobgobllnB of future dls-" nster plnced on dress parade to frighten the credulous." - '' Mr. Uenmnn stntod thnt Mr. Pln chot proposed to stop the loss of Boll by erosion by preserving the forests nnd thus preventing floods. Ho said. "The truth Is that the rains which produce the greatest floods do not fall In the mountains. The Btorms aro almost wholly In the plains coun try, I ho result of long and incessant rains, and these floods con only be prevonled by the construction of reservoirs of sufficient capacity to retain the surplus wator, and that must bo the Anal remedy against enormous rains which forests cannot entirely rostrnln.'J Concerning forest destruction, Mr Uenmnn said that more timber had been sold nnd cut under the Wrest service than evor borojo In tho Rocky Mountains, although ho was recently Informed by a forest supervisor that the policy of the Bervice had radic ally changed In this respect, and much lens timber Is now offered for sale and will be hereafter. "Ib It possible," ho ankod. that the charges above referred to (that the forest service was responsible tor excessive waste of timber I have been taken notice of by authorities In Washington, and Mr. Plnchot called down? If so, much hns been accom plished." Restoration by transplanting trees that have been raised In nurseries, Mr. lleaman ridiculed, saying: "Tho second natural crop of saw Umber which tho forest sorvlco .Is. promising us, ns a great feature of scientific forestry, will not be crowd ing us and our postorily during the next 500 yenrs.
