'In discussing the primary elec-
ton for nominatiOn OF candidates,
would it not be well to suggest
that the county executive commits
tees await the action of the state
executive committee? If this is
not done, some parties believing
they can gain an advantage to
themselves thereby, will encourage
their county committee to take
such action as they desire. and not
withstanding the fact that the state

take part in it, there may be no uni

Poplarville, Feb. 4, 1895.

A Des Moines woman who has
been troubled with frequent colds,
concluded to try an old remedy in
a new way, and accordingly took a
tablespoonful -four times the usual
dose) of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy just before going to bed.
The next morning she found that
her cold had almost entirely disap~
peared. During the Gay she took
few doses of the remedy Zone tea
spoonful at a time) and at night
again took tablespoonful before
going to bed, and on the following
morning awoke free from all symp.
toms of the cold. Since then she
has, on several occasions, used
this remedy in like manner, with
the same good results, and is much
eIated over her discovery Of sc
quick way Of curing a cold. Fol

A mans capability to make friends

he may not be overly popular, but
