sudden Changes.

The PrOpretors of Downs ELIXIR frequently
hear it remarked by those not in the trade, that
cough medicines do not sell much during the sum-
mer months. This is a mistaken idea The sudden
changes to which this climate is subjected at all
seasons of the year, render it necessary to always
have some reliable cough remedy at hand. Downs
ELIXIR is sure cure for Coughs, Colds and Whoop-
Ing Cough, and all Lung Diseases. when taken in
season, and one dose, we have no doubt, has many
times prevented consumption and death. The best
certificate that can be given for any medicine is
daily accorded to Downs ELIXIR in the fact that
it has survived the storms and tempests of nearly
half century, and is to-day tho most popular with
those who have known 1t longest. 1t has gained
this great favor with the public entirely on Its own
merits, having had less advertising done for it in
the whole time than is done for some medicines ia
a single year. For sale everywhere.

Belgian Women,


MED IN BELGIUM.
There is at least one country in the world
where women have rights which mere men
are bound to respect In Belgium the wo-
men are permitted to work even harder than
the men. In this country woman would
not be permitted to be hitched up with dog
| to draw her husband around in a cart, but
| this privilege is freely granted them in Bel
| GUM According to all accounts the lower
class women in Belgium do their full share
! of work A racy letter writer in the Chicago
| Times says:
Just us soon as day begins to break, they
slip on a nice blue frock, and go to business.
| They don't dwaddle around for few hours
and then go down town and make the round
of the dry goods shops to match piece of
mauve ribbon. Nothing of the kind They
haven't the remotest idea as to what is the
latest thing in bangs in waists. or polo
naise That old blue frock which they wear
ties at the neck and buttons at the waist, and
| one of them can get into it. and be all dress
| ed and ready for business before an Ameri-
can woman can get one eye open. And when
| Belgian woman is ready for bed, it doesn't
take two hours to unbutton, unpin. unlace,
unlock, unite, and unfasten generally. She
| gives pull at the neck-string. twist at the
waist button, kicks off her wooden shoes,
hops into bed, and i'll two minutes is snoring
unsteady being altogether too tired to de-
vote n couple of hours to caudleizing and all
| that That's the kind of wife for Young
fellow to 90 into business with Only one
| pair of wooden shoes and one frock in life
time Think of the saving in millinery and
dry goods bills The only fault l can find
with the Belgian system is that it puts too
much on the men. Men are naturally, and
| by virtue of their intellectual superiority,
managers All they really ought to do is TO
plan the work and oversee its execution by
the women. Otherwise the Belgian system
is admirable. As soon as get home, l am
going to try and introduce it, dress and all,
in Chicago, with such improvements as
have suggested.
