GOOD NEws-We want every mother
to know that Group can be prevented.
True Group never appears without a
warning. The first symptom is hoarse-
ness, then the child appears to have a
cold or cold may have accompanied the
hoarseness from the start. After that a
peculiar rough cough is developed, which
is followed by the Group. The time to
act is when the child first becomes hoarse;
a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy would prevent the attack. Even
after the rough cough has appeared, the
disease may be prevented by using this
remedy as directed. The only safe way
is to keep 50-cent bottle of the Rene
dy in the house for use whenever symp-
toms of the disease appear. For sale by

no doubt is, true that the foreign author
IL entitled to remuneration Tor Ills
work, whether ita fruits are enjoyed III
this country OF in The country Oh MS

| viding il Tor him IL connected with the
certainty that whenever II IL done, as
now proposed by the Chast- breck-
enridge bill in CONGRESS, The sum
realized by the author will be but a
moIe,y Of the enhanced cost TO The
reader, as the publisher will make it
the occasion unduly TO advance his own
profits.
Good reading matter at Il low price
Is greatly TO be desired. II is a boon
10 the poor. II slevates aud broadens
| the mind of millions who would be
| unable to purchase books at prices
| which are contemplated by the con-
| Germs which are Row sc active Tor IN
tern %aiional copyrights; and untold
benefit Ia derived from the fact that
| cheap good books 81 largely succeed In
driving off the book stalls, and ont OF
The market, the pestilent cheap bad
books.
The United States has become under
the free publication system the greatest
book reading country In the world,
hence even where justice may demand
some modification In favor OF The
author It should he made with grea,
care, and the legislator should bear IN
mind that 30 lar as his constituents are
concerned they are interested In q
minimum rather than III a maximum
price for literature.
The greatest foe to internationaI
copyright to-day Is the big publisher
who ia advocating 1t, not out of Ills
love for the foreign author, but from
regard for his own pocket. His scheme,
il we may so designate 1t, Is TO allow
the author twenty-five cents, aud him
self to grasp all extra seventy-tivt
cents. This the readers of the country
think unfair, quite as much SO as cheat
ing the author, indeed msthemaiicall,
