out Failure.
The first indication of Group is hoarsc-
ness, and in child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as a sure sign of the
approach Of an attack Following this
hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough. If
Chamberlain's cough remedy is given as
soon as. s..the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the croupy cough appears, it will
prevent the attack. 1t is used in many
thousands of homes in this broad land
and dnever disappoints the anxious mothers.

in which it has not proved effectual. No

The great rapidity with which wheat
can now be harvested by means Of i'm.

portance Of the header. However, 1t Ia
still used quite extensively in the spring
wheat growing regions Of the north
west and has its advantages. A wide
swath is cut, and where a number Of
machines are used in the same field an
immense amount Of grain can be taken
care OF. The horses push the machine
in front CT them. Only enough Of the
straw is taken of to get all the heads.
The grain is run directly into tight
wagon boxes especially made for the
purpose, It Is hauled Immediately to
the stack and there remains until
thrashing time.
"Where the & n has been allowed
to get very ripe there Ia much less loss
from SCATTERING when the header IL
