Some reading that will prove interesting to
young mothers How to guard against the
disease.
Group Is terror to young mothers and
to post them concerning the cause, first
symptoms and treatment is the object OF
this item. The origin of Group is com
mon cold. Children who are subject to
it take cold very easily and Group is al
most sure to follow. The first symptom
is hoarseness; this is soon followed by
Il peculiar rough cough, which is easily
recognized and will never be forgotten
by one who has heard it. The time to
act is when the child first becomes
hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is freely given all tendency to Group
will soon disappear. Even after the
croupy cough has developed it will pre-
vent the attack. There is no danger in
giving this remedy for it contains moth
ing injurious. For sale by Bixby u

Shortest Name in the World.

The shortest name in the world has
been developed by the war between
Japan and China. 1t is that of Gen. |,
Tartar commander, who has. perhaps,
distinguished himself above other
Chinese generals, having conducted a
campaign though losing one-of some
effectiveness.
The French are supposed TO have a
monopoly of surnames, names, which
consist of one letter. 4 considerable
number of such names have been cited in
the French press at times, Milo, o, for
instance, keeps a grocer's shop at
Louviels, and NJ. A. is rural guard in
the department of Coted'Or. a family
named \ is the pride and Joy of a
Belgian town.
In the United States, given names
they could hardly be called Christian
names-co consisting of single letter have
not iDfrequently been bestowed. a
Western business man bore the given
name of P-no more, no less-through a
long life, and certain New England
boy is named J.
No name so short as that of Gen. |.
has yet been discovered, however, as is
certainly he thiunest letter in the alp ha-
bel From Youth's Companion.

+. Robinson, and The Face of Death, by

of Gilbert Harker's serial the Seats of

series of papers in The Atlantic has at
tracted more wide attention than George

The fifth and last of the series appears
in this issue. Lafcadio Hearn's contri.
button bears the suggestive title After
The War, and is quite as readable AS his
other delightful studies of Japan.
The feature of the November Century
which will doubtless appeal to the great

photograh taken during the summer for
the purpose, proceeds the first chapter.

readers TO a fascinating feature of the
best English puolic life, namely, the
relation of politics to the English
"county house" In none of her stories
has Mrs. Ward touched upon the vital
forces of the time with greater vividness.
1t will interest the thousands of Ameri-
caus who are acquainted with the
authors writing to know that "Mareella"
as Lady Maxwell. becomes later on the
potent feminine character of the story.

! No evidence has been adduced tending

the port where the Belgic landed, is under
the supervision of local health and boarding
officers, although the quarantine apparatus
is controlled by federal officials who dis
infect ana otherwise care for vessels after
they have been sentthereby localauthoritics
The Pacific coast appears TO be well
guarded and il does not seem probable that
cholera ships could make an entry anywhere
I on the coast without detection. Cholera
has never been brought to this country
from the Pacific side and there is little fear
that it can enter, even though il should
prove true that it has reached Honolulu
il a form more or less malignant.
