Holidays for Banish Iioys. There is a pretty custom in vogue In Denmark. During the summer holidays an arrangement Is made by which little Danes from town and country change places. Th parents of town children send their little folks off to the coun try and receive in exchange country children. Th result Is that the town children are strengthened and glad dened with country air and sights, while the little rustles enjoy the pleas ures of town life and the festivals -which are for, thoir benefit. This ex change system results in 10,000 children from Copenhagen getting a country holiday and another 10,000 are bright ened up by a visit to the Danish cap ital.

MtWTOHK CITY. ESTABLISHED J87. Minneapolis Woodward & Co., Grain Commission. Daiutk -_ ORDEKS FOB FUTURE DELIVERY EXECUTE!? IN ALL MARKETS. Chronic Coughs and Colds Are Catarrhal Diseases. Catarrh Is the Continual Scourge of Christendom. Catarrh hovers ominously over every city, and nestlc3 treacherously in every hamlet. It flie3 with vampire wings from country to country and casts a black shadow of despair over all lands. Its stealthy approach and its lingering stay makes it a dread to the physician and a peBt to th^ patient. It changes the merry laugh of child hood to the wheezy breathing of croup, and the song of the blushing maiden to the hollow cough of con sumption. In its withering grasp the rounded form of the fond wife and another becomes gaunt and spectral, and the healthy flush of manhood turns to the sallow, haggard visage of the invalid. Cough takes the place of conversa tion, speech gives way to spitting, the repulsive odors of chronic catarrh poison the kiss of the fondest lovers, and thickened membranes bedim sight, impair hearing and destroy taste. l'ATKXTS.
