TEREsTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS. HOW
TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to young mothers and
to post them concerning the case, 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 yeiy easily and Group is almost
sure to follow. The first symptom is
hoarseness; this is soon followed by a
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 Chamberiain's Cough Remedy is freely
given all tendency to Group will soon dis.
appear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the attack.
There is no danger in giving this remedy
for it contains nothing injurious. For

The bankers have held conven-
tiOns in all parts of the United
States and the burden of their cry
has been, ''the government should
withdraw from circulation and re-
tire or cancel the greenbacks in some
way" A good way to do this
would be to withdraw the green
backs and issue full legal tender
notes unredeemable like gold and
silver coin to take their place. That
would stop gold from being drawn
out of the treasury, which is the
cause of so much distress to the
bankers. The people too, would
all vote as unit for this plan of
relief. Let the bankers recommend
this plan to Congress. They need not
be distressed about the credit of the
government. The people will take
care of that.

If there is one thing certain that
can be predicted without a pos
sibility of failure, it is that pros
porous times for the industrial class,
such times as they experienced
from 1864 for five years, will never
return while they vote to keep
either of the old moribund parties
in power. The workers may en-
deavor to put this ugly truth aside,
but like Banquo's ghost it will not
down. Every month that passes
will press the fact more sternly
home: A gold basis currency
system Inconsistency tothe workers.

Bankers and People.

The bankers are clamorous for
retiring the greenbacks and issuing
bonds instead for the people to pay
interest on. The people are in
favor of calling in the greenbacks
and issuing full legal tender notes
in their place for the people to use
as money. The bankers want to
draw interest from the people by
changing their money into bonds.
The people desire to avoid paying
the bankers interest and have full
legal tender greenbanks money to
use. Hence the conflict between
them.
