How to Prevent Group.

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
1t take cold very easily and croup is al
most 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 Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy is freely given all tendency to Group
will scop 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

memories which cluster about the dear
old spot are solaces in the weary, weary
struggle We make day by day to build in
our new Eldorado home to which our
children in future time will turn, as we
turn now to the old place where our loved
ones in the evening of life await the final
summons.

The farmers in this locality are
still in quandary as to what to do
about their second crop" of cotton.
We hear of several who have con-
cluded there is nothing in it, and
have turned their stock into the
fields to get all the benefit they
can from the luxuriant growth of
bolls and foliage. Others are still
holding on a few days to see if
there is any possibility for the crop
to mature.
