Dangers Of the Grip

The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used. however. and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among
thett of thousands who have used
this remedy for la grippe, we have yet
to learn Of a single case having re-
suited in pneumonia, which shows
conelnsively that this remedy is a
certain preventive of that dread dis
ease. 1t will effect permanent cure
IN less time than any other treatment.

THE cHILDREN's CLOTHES.

Moderation in bows and collars would
improve many a little boy-child's APP
pearance and make him more comforta-
bic. In many cases there is more bow
or collar than boy.
Picturesqueness may be attained
without sacrificing the sweet simplicity
which is childhood's most pleasing
characteristic. The cut of the gown
gives this quality, and not the trimming
Of it.
Do not overdress little girls or boys,
especially in brilliant colors A simple
little gown in crimson or scarlet is not
out of place, but frills or founces or
fluttering ribbons convert the red gown
into bedizened piece of finery.
Convenience and healthfulness should
be the first considerations in children's
dresses, especially for very small chill
dren. Long skirts make very uucom-
Portable little Greenaway girls, and
