Rev. Mary G. Andrews. This class is per-
suing the study of ethics, as illustrated in
literary masterpieces, guided by most
comprehensive outline prepared by its
leader. One might suppose by this survey
of no less than eleven departments that the
curriculum of the club was complete, but
there is still another study class, that of
Grafton, led by Mrs. Jessie B. Dorward
The work here is that of physical expression
and as such is supplemental to study of the
other departments, especially to that of
literature. A series of interesting public
recitals is usually given by this class each
year.
The Department of Education is the con-
Meeting link between the study classes and
the working committees. 1t furnishes a
valuable program to the club each year
like the former. and steps outside the club
into public educational work like the latter

This Will Interest You IL in Need of
Good Cough Medicine.

"one day last winter lady came to my
drug store and asked for a brand of cough
medicine that did not have In stock" says
Mr.. G. R. Grandin, the popular druggist Of
Ontario, NJ Y. "She was disappointed and
wanted to know what cough preparation 1
could recommend. / said TO her that could
freely recommend Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and that she could take 25-cent
bottle OF the remedy and after giving 1t a
fair trial II she did not find 1t worth the
money to bring back the bottle and would
refund the price paid. In the course OF a
day or two the lady came back to my store
In company with friend in need OF a cough
medicine and advised her to buy 5O-cent
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I
consider that very good recommendation
for the remedy" 1t is not so much what
newspapers say as what friend says to friend
that has made this remedy so popular, not
only throughout the United States but in

The difficulty between the contractors and
carpenters which has held back progress on
most new buildings of the city for some time,
has at last been settled and the carpenters
are again at work at the pay which they
themselves decided as Just and fair. This
settlement was the result OF a meeting held
Wednesday night by tho contractors. in
which 1t was decided TO grant to the carpen-
ters a scale OF 35 cents an hour and q half
holiday on Saturday. This was the whole
principle for which the carpenters fought.

is to head off purchases by brokers,
wholesalers or, jobbers. tr
