COLD AND COUGH CURES,
Guaranteed to Check a Cold in Few
Hours and Prevent Grip
and Pneumonia.

Colds lead to coughs, cought to
pneumonia and consumption !;
therefore, it is all important to
check cold before it reaches the
lungs. Munyon's Cold Cure will
positively break cold inside Of
twenty-four hours if taken as soon
as the cold manifests itself. When
the cold reaches the lungs or bron-
chial tubes the Cough Cure should
be used alternately every half hour
with the Cold Cure. The Cold Cure
is guaranteed to prevent pneumo-
mia if used in the beginning of a
cold. Pneumonia, or infiamma-
ton of the lungs, can be controlled
by the use of these two cures.
The Cough Cure positively cures
bronchitis, tickling in the throat,
hoarseness, loss of voice, soreness
of the chest, difficulty in breathing,
hacking cough and all pulmonary
diseases where the lungs are not
far consumed or covered with tu-
bercles.
If you are ailing, step into the
nearest drug store and get 25s
vial of one of Munyon's Remedies.
No matter what your disease, or
how many doctors have failed to
cure, it will give you relief.

Munyon, 1905 Arch street, Phila-

Monday, March q, is Indepen-

such glorious heritage, are prac.

power of the descendants of those
elements which marched and mas

bloody butcher, Santa Anna. AT
least, such Is the condition here in
San Antonio. What Santa Annals

the blood and carnage Of battle,
their progeny have acquired
through illegal and corrupt use of
the ballot. The fact should be i'm

THE FROG SHOW.

For some days past the show
windows Of the City Drug Store, of
San Antonio, Of which Mr.. E.
Reuss is the proprietor, have
attracted much attention by their
unique array and the whimsical
designs displayed in the arrange
ment Of the "Frog in your Throat"
specialties. Yesterday, (Wednes-
day, March rs, Mr.. Reuss put forth
a special effort, and introduced a
novel feature in the advertising
line. All the little ones of the city
were invited to attend and receive
the gifts Mr.. Reuss had to distrib-
ute amongst them. The crowd
that attended was enormous, the
sidewalk at times being so COM
pletely blocked that it took two
policemen to keep the thorough
fare open for passersby. During
the day over $4,000 picture cards
were distributed, and hailed with
delight by the pleased children.
The windows themselves deserve
special mention, and 1t was often
hard work to tear the lingering
youngsters from their last look at
the revealing frogs in the full en-
joyment Of good times. the dis.
play represented THE Mikado Car
nival," and was most artistically
arranged. On a green lawn, frogs
in all the attire Of modern elegance,
disported themselves with the air
of drawing-room beaux, while the
lady frogs were not behind their
long-legged brethren in the easy
naturalness OF their bearing. A
big platform was laid off for dane
ing, and here members trod the
mazes of mystic waltz to the music
OF brass band. consisting OF
seven instruments which looked as
though it had just been imported
from the highest musical circles OF
"Frogdom." Others represented
the faster element of the beau
monde, and were to be seen indul-
ging In the festive game Of craps
with all the earnestness of Alabams
coons. Others, again, preferred a
quiet book in shady nook, while
others, in secluded spots, were
evidently carrying on desperate
flirtations. Around the dancing
platform were arranged statutes Of
foreign noblemen, while above
hung miniature Chinese lanterns
which at night shed their subdueG
rays on the pleasant scene. The
background is a brilliant scenic
effect representing several magnifi
cent residences in the distance
The whole presents pretty pictur,
OF light and color, the grotesque
ness OF which makes even tn,
greatest smile, and recall tn,
times when they listened to 9Th.

Our Henry Is Boss. +"
To the Daily LIGHT:

To the Daily LIGHT:
Mayor ElmeEdorf's method of
repeating an obnoxious legal i'm
pediment, is certainly most, il not
exactly regular and orthodox. A
resolution introduced by Alder
man Fahey and adopted by the
council, forbidding the use Of Mon
terey brick on the sewers, was re-
garded with disfavor by the mayor,
who, subsequently, quietly pro-
ceeded to have another drafted as
a substitute, which he privately
circulated among the aldermen
for signatures. Having secured the
necessary number, he repealed the
Fahey resolution, and Immediate
ly put in force the substitute No
meeting OF the council was called
or held, nor was Alderman Fahey
notified in any manner OF the pro-
ceeding until the mayors object
had been accomplished. Possibly
this policy OF his honor's may be
an improvement OH the existing
one, but the people will be slow
to believe it. They prefer that the
council should act in open session,
and that its proceedings should
be conducted publicly, like those
of all its predecessors.
AND DON'T You FORGET IT.
