Without pretending to kn
definitely who or what it is that con
trols the weather, though there are
those who clain to posses full

that if the management of the wea

The control of man over nature's
forces in various spheres is already
a fact. This has greatly improved
our relations with the elements
about us. And if such control
could be extended to the weather,
there is no reaon to doubt that a
similar improvement will take
place in the present anarchic con
ditions, which, at times at least, j
characterize the conduct of tfm
American weather.
The first thing, for instance, that
such a committee could do wou'd
be to bring the elements under re-

the morning. This committee also
could eliminate all uncertainty
forms of the weathe-- that is to
say, when it looks like rain, let it
rain, evd when it looks fair let it
be fair. This would make the Wea
ther more reliable than it now is,
and thus do a'vay with 50 per cent
of our disappointments, as well as
save all wastage now due to the un

other thing such as a committee
could do would be to make the
seasons , more seasonable. Let
March be like March, and May be
like May. By arranging against
the sudden changes of temperature,
the committee would shorten the
catalogue of the maladies of the
human race.
The day we succeed in moralizing
the weather, the golden age of the
world will be nigh. Ninety-nine
per cent ot the misery and criminal-

conscionable weather. Let the cli
mate be endowed with a conscience-
and our earth will be a paradise.

lor over thirty years, during which
time many million bottles have been
sold and used. It has long been the
standard and main reliance in tbe
treatment of croup in thousands of
homes, yet during all tnis time no case
has ever been reported to the manufac

cure. When given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse or even as soon
as tbe croupy cough appears, it will
prevent the attack. It is pleasant to
