A little old woman with a shawl over her
head and an awed expression Of countenance
pushed open the swinging doors of one of the
big banks the other day and walked in with
a hesitating, uncertain air. Starting in at
one end of the great counters she paused at
every window until she had made the circuit
and stopped in front of the young man who is
there to sell exchange. He had seen her when
she entered the big doors and recognized her

0cALA, Fla, Dec. AT the after
noon session of the National Farmers
Alliance a delegation representing the
Citizens Alliance Of Kansas were intro.
duced by Col Livingston Of Georgia, and
all made addresses. the substance of
which were that their organization was
deeply interested in the success OF the
farmers movement; that both bodies
were practically working on the same line
and they sew no reason why merchants,
traders, druggists, etc, should not unite
in promoting thus movement. They
asked for a committee OF conference to
arrange for closer relations between the
Ciuizens' Alliance and the National ALI
auce. The request was granted and a
committee appointed.
Delegates from the New York Work
ingmen's Reform League and Anti
Monopoly League addressed the conycn-
tiOn, saying, among other things, that
mechanics and laborers in the cities were
as much dependent upon abe industrial
condition OF the country as the farmers
we're and should be eligible to member
ship in the alliance.
Col. Livingston. in reply, said they
would best keep their own separate or
ganization, as at present, but should
i~raternizo more closely and confer more
frequently upon measures of public
policy. He recommended cooperation
and fraternity with other national bodies,
but not consolidation.

The laws of health are taught 10 the
schools. but not in a way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustrated
by living examples, which in many cases
might easily be done. II some scholar,
who had Just contracted a cold, was
brought before the school, so that all
could hear the dry, loud cough and know
its significance; see the thin white, coating
of the tongue, and later, as the cold de-
veloped see the profuse watery expectora-
tim and thin watery discharge from the
nose, not one of them would ever forget
what the FIST symptoms OF a cold were.
The scholar should then be given Cham
b%erlain's Cough Remedy freely, that all
might see that even a severe cold could
be cured in one or two days, or at least
greatly mittigated, when properly treated
as soon as the first symptoms appear.
This remedy is famous for its coughs.
