Good Advice.

In winter more exercise is required
for the body than In summer.
Wear warm underelothiug; materials
of open texture is preferable.
Avoid catching cold, but should you

The most effective remedy for coughs
or colds is Marsden's Peetoral Balm; it
is pleasant to take and eve fails to
cure.
Ask your druggist for il, and don't
be persuaded TO take any other instead.

from ascending to take test OF the

from using their midair explosives, and

the first minute or so at sl05I to 81 0614

PARIS, August 23.-The agitation OF
young Lamare, the educated lad OF 49,
who is leading the turbulent wine
growers in the champagne districts, IS
the outcome of endeavors upon the part
of the large wine companies to acquire
and unite the small vinyarns with the
object of localizing and stamping out
phyloxera. The small vinyard owners
stoutly oppose this project, which they
suppose is aimed to reduce the yeo-
many of the district to mere factory
hands. Young Lamare, as already
cabled, has written pamphlet and has
stated weekly paper, La Revolution
ChGmpeaoise, to advocate his views and
to incite the peasants to reap the pront
of their work instead of allowing the
wine merchants to do so.
