No healthy person need fear any
dangerous consequences from an at
tack of la grippe if properly treated.
1t is much the same as a severe cold
and requires precisely the same
treatment. Remain quietly at home
and take Chamberlain's Cough REM
edy as directed for a severe cold and
prompt and complete recovery is
sure to follow. This remedy also
counteracts any tendency of Ia
grippe to result in pneumonia.
Among the many thousands who

A GREAT many people when they
begin to economic either stop their
advertisement or stop taking a
paper. The business man might as
well think of closing up his house
as to do away with all kinds of adj
vertising. Unless you advertise
there is no use to pay rent or pay
clerks, or pay for light. Take out
your advertisement and close up
your business. 1t is also a poor
kind of economy to stop taking
papers. We believe in economy,
but we challenge any man to show
Us that it is economy to stop taking
newspapers.

THERE is nothing so healthful in
this world as a cheerful heart and a
disposition to look on the rosy side
OF everything. Trouble is not a
physical ailment, but a mental con-
dition. 1t is hard on the brain,
hard on the body aud hard on your
friends. A clear conscience, a brave
heart and a healthy liver mean a
long and happy life. 1t is the mis-
take of the age to worry and fret
over things that cannot be helped or
hopes that cannot be realized.
Laugh at trouble and it vanishes.

 "How was it did not recognize you:" said I, after fraternal greeting.
 "Ten years have presented me with this for a disguise" said he, giving his mustache twirl. "Ten years of ex- perience have taken all the girl out of me-"
 "What have you been doing these ten years since college, o many sided man?'
 "Grinding my sides against the ada mant, every one."
 "Has your diamond begun to see light and shinep"
 "The polishing dust aims it still"
 "How have you found life, kind or cruel?'
 Certainly not kind, hardly cruel, un- less indifference is cruelty"
 But indifference, want of sympathy, must have been positive relief after the aggressive cruelty of your younger days"

 Everything that Yankees do-tligginy last"
 Odd talk this may seem, to hold with an old friend. Ten years apart! We ought to have met in merrier mood. We might, if we had parted with happy memories. But it was not SO. Youth had been a harsh season to Brent. If fate destines a man to teach, she com pels him to learn-bitter lessons, too, whether he will or no. Brent was Il man of genius. All experience, there fore, piled itself upon him. He must learn the immortal cancellations by prob ing all suffering himself. yrIontinund nayt WnpI\
