I'VE take pleasure in recommending
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy because it
is praised by all who try it," says j. W.
Cox & Son, druggist. Marsbfield, Oregon,
No one afflicted with a throat or lung
trouble can use this remedy without
praising it. 1t always gives prompt re-
lief. 1t is especially valuable for colds
as it relieves the lungs, makes breathing
easier and aids expectoration. A cold
will never result in pneumonia when
this remedy is taken and reasonable
care exercised. For sale by T. j. Liable,

Ingelow's is birds. She has an aviary built

opens into the c-drawng-room. and nothing
delights the old lady more than to set the
birds free among the flowers and to watch
them as she sits writing at her desk. Per

in nature has something to do with the
freshness and youth that is characteristic

Lack OF exercise makes what should be the

sorts of eatables and drinkah hles. and the
wearing Of heating bands about the neck
have ia ken all the sculpture style OF beauty
from the chin.
How may all these evils he remedied?
By time, patience AMI cffort-a much more
potent combination than lotions. enamels

have high collars on the street gowns. but
freedom may be given the neck in house
frocks.
Exercise will harden the flesh of the
throat hs surely a 5 II does that of the ath-
lete's arm. Diet will reduce some of the
folds of the chin. Massage will help in
the good work. Sleeping on piilowlcss
beds will aid still more. and, finally, To-
tons will assist i'll the whitening process.
Dumb-bell exercises. such as are taught
to children in the schools, bring the mus
cles OF the upper chest into play. The
twisting motions OF the neck and the bend
ing of the head slowly back and forth
affect the muscles OF the neck and make
them firm and hard. Ma assagc, the passive

Cold water hardcns the flesh and cold
cream softens the skin. Consequently, daily
gymnastics and neck exercises, nightly
with cold cream and morning
baths in cold water, after the grease has
been removed by warm water, combined
with iudicious massage, will make OF neck

The skin is kept smooth and firm by its
