We claim that if catching cold could be avoided soma of the most dangerous and falsi disesses would never he heard of. A cold often forms a culture bed for germs ol infectious diseases. Consumption, pneu monia, diphtheria and srsrlet fever, four ol the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are ol this class. The culture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs ol these diseases, that would not otherwise find Iwl.jenU There is little danger, however, of any of these diseases being contrsrted when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain s Cough Remedy is Used, it cleans out these culture beds that farm the development of the germs of these li eases. That is why this remedy bss provi so universally successful in preventing nr monis. It not onlrtures your cold quirk I but minimises the risk of contracting tliei dangerou diseases. For tale by M.

It is this that makes him resolve all problems of government and administration into terms of ethics, that u akes him preach sermons in Hate, papers aud from the stomp, that inspires his marvelous resonrcefulutss of ideas for bctteriug the condition of his fellow man. that leads him instinctively to gather around him men who understaud what he is trying to do, and sympa thize with the amhitiou. It is this dominating social sense that moves him cne day to order prosrootion of some aggregation of eel Huh interests which he has become convinced is unsocial, on the next, to press for passage legislation to prevent dis crimination by publio service corpor ations the next, to call a congress of governors to consider the immense problem of conserving uatural re sources and that, finally, has re cently moved him to appoiut a com mission of experts for the study of means to Improve country life, to make it better, fuller, broader and more attactive. The project thos stated may seem a bit valine aud academio but, re solved into its elements, it is a great enterprise whioh in its development will be foond to Involve the most practical haudling of a number of upeo Do problems. It is in one way a corollary to the proposal for effective conservation of natural wealth but it is a more complex aud difficult prob lem because it involves dealing with people, rather than with things witn soul', rather than with acres and corporations. This problem of the farm and its economics and its life has for a long time been interesting the president. He laid ' the founda tion of the present movement in the speech at Lansing over a year ago, when he told bis hearers that, beyond the very important business of pro ducing good crops, the farm mast be made to ptodnoe the vastly more Im portant output of good manhood and good womanhood, all of whioh sounds well, but still exceedingly vague, i'o be speoifio, the movement for up lift of the rural popnlatloo involve such problems aa these : Improvement of country schools so that it shall not be necessary for farmers to " move to town" ia order to "give tne children tome school ing," a piooesa whioh generally takea both parents and children away from the farm to the -ultimate misfortune of parents, children and farm. Improvement of country roads. Establishment of social oeuters id rural communities, and development of a social life which shall be at tractive euoagh to counteract the gregarious instinct always tending to draw people together into towns. Improvement and broadening of the practical usefulness of the church in the country. Establishment of libraries, lectures, farmers' institutes, etc., and general promotion o intellectuaTdinterests. Promotion of co-operative 'buying and marketing among. farmers, which shall free them from the impositions of the middlemen aud transportation in terests. Propagation of intelligent interest in, understanding of and demand for the parcels post, so that It may be brought about. Encouragement of such forms of oo operation aa the mutual Insurance company, the community creamery, eta. 'Improvement of farm life from both the sanitary and the esthetio sides, by inducing interest in better arrangemeotjof the farm home, plat, ooostructlon'of more attractive resi dences and more 'economical farm buildings with more general diffusion on the "modern conveniences" than the farm has tbasVar known. Helping the woman of the farm to improve the conditions of ber life, which by all the students of the prob lem is eonoeded to constitute the most difficult problem of all. These are only a few of the ques tions whiob ;the "president's "country life commission most consider. They are mentioned as among the most triking, and aa suggestive of the 1 great scope of work tor the farming I population which is proposed to be taken'up.

John Pernoll, the merohant and postmaster was dolug business at Provolt one day this week. George Matney of Provolt spent Saturday with friends at Rush. The Lewman Bros, have their third orop of hay out and shocked, andwill begin hauling Monday. The hay crop in the central valley ia very short this seaaou owing to the extremely dry summer. The Applegate river sup plies nine Irilgating , ditches but there are hundreds of acres not under irrigation which in the no distant tutor will be turned into large bay fields and orchards. The fruit orop is also short in this section owing to the early spring frosts. Many of the farms of this section are preparing to put out new orcharos and er ;many years expeot to make this a fruit center. The baseball game 'at.Murpby San day was won by the Murphy boys over Applegate by a score of 18 to 4. Several good plays were made on both sides bnt lack was against oar Provolt boys. The same teams will cross bats again at the Ferodale grounds next Sunday. Say "Ebeu," my strawberries are iu bloom now, but I won't aay anything about them till spring, as at that time I want to tell you some of the beauties of Provolt sad the Applegate Valley where no one ever grows old and where all is peace and happiness, 11 of which is caused by looking over the fields of waving grain, alfalfa, olover, to say nothing of the lame red apples which lead the world for quality andj where the wild flowers bloom throughout the winter, aud the mountain scenery is ever new. These are some of the reasons why "Uncle Fuller" cannot bear to leave Provolt. Thomas Lewman was at Applegate and Williams this week on business. Dm. Loughrldge aud Smith pass ed through Provolt Sunday en route to Thompson Greek where they were called by the illness of Miss Delia Rock. Mrs. Kelly Fields is np again after several weeks spent in bed with a combination of rbeamatism and heart trouble. Robert Wallace and family left Provolt Monday for Holt oounty, Missouri, after a pleaant visit with relatives in this valley. Thai Student or the School?
