this. Trust him fully, and always

property fronting the driveway and for
a half mile on each side will Increase In
value 25 per cent. He mokes the point
also that unless the congested travel
on the road Is relieved by widening It,
another road will have to be opened

property values thereon. Mr. Ragsdale
concludes his letter by saying that the
proposed boulevard Is the best thing
that has happened for Oakland City In
years.

TRY TO POLL TAFT
INTO CANNON EIRE
President, However, Wisely
Stays Out of Speaker-

Washington, March 9.—President Taft
has run up agalnst-the greatest trouble
of hts new Job. Two powerful Influ
ences are being exerted upon him. one
by the regulars In congress and the
other by the Insurgents; one fighting In
the Interest of Speaker Cannon and the
other against him. The Cannon tight
over the retention of the present speak
er of the house and his set of Iron-clod
rules has precipitated a wire-pulling
wranglo with President Taft as the cen
tral tlgure. Today the new president
was visited by delegations from both
companies, but so far he has given no
expression. Indeed, from the attitude
of President Taft Jt would seem that ho
Intends letting the Interested parties
fight It out among themselves.

HABIT’S CHAIN
Certain Habit* Unconsciously Formed

A f<2,w days after the change is made

POSTUM CEREAL COMPANY, LIMITED,
Battle Creek, Mich. '
An Ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces
sary to break a life-long habit would,
If ft could be transformed, lift a weight
of many tons.
It sometimes requires a higher de
gree of heroism to break the chains of
a pernicious habit than to lead a for
lorn hope In a bloody battle. A lady
wrltea from an Indiana town:
"From my earliest childhood I was a
lover of coffee. ■Before I was out of
my teens I was a miserable dyspeptic,
suffering terribly, at times with ray
stomach.
“I was convinced that It was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet I
could not deny myself a cup for break
fast. At the age of 36 I was In very
poor health, Indeed. My sister told mo
I was In danger of becoming a coffee
drunkard.
"But I never could give tip drinking
coffee for breakfast, although It kept
me constantly III, until I tried Postum. I
learned to make It properly according
to directions, and now wo can hardly
do without Postum for breakfast, and
care nothing at all for coffee.

IS SPEAKER JOE CANNON'S
POWER ABOUT TO CRUMBLE
UNDER INSURGENTS' FIGHT?
Washington, March 9.—Tho Insur
gents among tho Ilefiubllean represen
tatives have determined to wage their
fight against the powers of the speaker
nnd It Is probable on the first day of
tho extra session of the sixty-first con
gress they will present a resolution to
appoint a committee on commerce.
In tills they will have the support of
the Democrats and one of the leaders of
the minority says that If they stand
together there will be no chanca for
them to lose the fight.
There are about twenty-seven of the
Insurgents left who will join In Insist
ing on this demand and the Democrats
are solid ‘in advocating the movement.
The Insurgents are not satisfied with
having been given the "calendar Wed
nesday." but are going to Inelst upon n
change In several of the house rules.
They want a new method of arriving at
inanlmous consent and say they will
ot be satisfied until this method .of
procedure Is In reality what It Is In
name.
Under the old way the speaker al
lowed matters to be brought up by
unanimous consent after the represen
tatives In charge of the bills had visited
his office and made the necessary ar
rangements. The Insurgents want It
fixed so that a member can arise on the
floor and ask for unanimous consent on
any question without having to give
the "boss" tho privilege of thinking over
whether or not the question should be
considered at that time.
Another thing the Insurgents want Is
a change In the method of suspending
the rules. They declare that the sus
pension of tho rules, as the present
house rules prescribe, gives too much
power to the speaker an.] his lieuten
ants, nnd that In reality It Is simply a
plan to pass things that otherwise
could not be rushed thru. That the
members outside the speaker’s circle do
not get fair action under the present
plan Is tho chief contention.

Barbed Wire Antiseptic
A New Discovery.
The PARIS MEDICINE COMPANY, 2622-30 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo.
nifimifiictu’-ers <»f LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE and other standard prep
arations have a new discovery that far surpasses anything ever placed on the
market for barbed wire cuts, burns and old sores.
When Marconi stated that he could send messages across the ocean with,
out a wire or cable, the world did not believe it; if we were to tell you that
Dr. Porter's Antiseptic Heating Oil
will cure a barbed wire cut in one day, will absolutely relieve the pain of a
burn instantly and will cure old sores which other remedies have failed to
cure, you would not believe it; therefore we have instructed all Druggists to
refund the money to purchasers in every case where it fails to do all we claim
for it.
We Mean It
It is needed in every home. When any of the family are severely burn
ed or cut, or a horse is badly injured on the wire fence you haven't time to
send to town for a remedy, but you need it at once; therefore do not delay to
purchase u 25c package under our positive guarantee.
A Cut Never Matters, or Suppurates, after it is once applied.
It not only relieves the pain of a burn instantly, but will take out all in
flammation and soreness in one day.
It will'cure granulated eye-lids and old chronic sores, no matter of how
long standing. It is just as valuable for household use as it is for stock.
