Advice about the Treatment Of
Coughs and Colds.
Constitutional Treatment to Prevent the
Recurrence of These Dangerous
Ailments.

Recurrence of These Dangerous
Ailments.
A person may be very wealthy and
yet not be inclined to give away any Of
his property. Lawyers who have great
knowledge of the law are not noted
for giving service for nothing. Physi-
clans are known to be generous to the
poor, yet they will not serve every
body free. Even the wealthy railroad
companies, who could so easily and
quickly carry us to our distant friends,
will not do SO without first receiving
our dollars and cents. But there il
one thing everybody has and every
body is anxious to give some of it to
everybody else. We mean, advice. 1t
is so cheap, and we never miss what we
give away. Therefore, we follow the
custom and give you some advice.
Do not neglect your cold. You me-
need no medicine for it, but do no
neglect it. When first taken, try and
break it up. Take hot foot-bath;
drink bowl full of hot lemonade or
ginger tea, get into bed, cover up
well, and let the body perspire. Be
very careful the next day. If the cold
hangs on, or if one cold quickly fol-
lows another, then something more is
needed. Constitutional treatment is
necessary. This is especially true il
your health is frail, or if there is a
tendency to weak lungs in the family.
Sore Threats and colds infame the
delicate membrane which lines the
throat, and which continues directly
down into the bronchial tubes and
lungs. One attack predisposes to an
other, and a slight attack invites an
other more serious. The best proven
tive to serious lung affections is to
keep all the air passages in a healthy
condition. Therefore, do not neglect
an acute cough or cold. This is our
advice, which is given freely.
But it will cost you fifty cents to
procure small bottle, and one dollar
for a large bottle, of the remedy we
recommend, which is SCOTS Emulsion
of Cod-liver Oil and Hypophosphites.
1t cures acute attacks, and thus pre-
vents chronic ones. 1t builds up the
tissues, invigorates the nervous sys
TEN, and prepares the body to resist
disease. The system only needs some
such aid at the right time in order to
completely master the gcrus of con-
sumption, preventing them gaining a
firm foothold in the lungs. One bot
tie taken in season will often accom-
plish as much as five bottles taken
later.
SCOTS Emulsion has been Endorsed
by the medical profession for twenty
years. Ask your doctor. Because it
is always palatable-always uniform

Gnrdening for women.

Women gardeners are graduated in
considerable numbers from English
and German schools. says the Plowman.
The course of study is very thorough,
and extends through two or three
years. The majority of graduates
teach, but some of them have rented
land and taken a respectable standing
in 1he market garden business. Many
of the American agricultural colleges
are open to women, and the profession
of gardening offers better opening
than many professions already invaded
by the weaker sex.

HILLSIDE ICE HOUSE.

n Good One.
From steep hillside or, better yet,
creek bank facing the north, eXcavate,
as for u dugout, Il room about foot
larger each way than is required to hold
the amount of ice to be packed. If the
bank or hillside is steep enough. the
drainage question is easily disposed of
by digging the front end of the cave
bottom lower than the remainder. Set
q strong post at each corner of the room
Icing enough. in every instance, to reach
the top of the ground. With rough
lumber of any kind build up the sides
and back by putting the ends OF the
boards behind the corner posts. This
will prevent caving. Then set four more
posts just foot inside the first set.

CERTAIN newspapers embrace
every opportunity to censure the
Mckinley administration tor the
continuance Of war in the Philip
pine Islands. We have no doubt but
the President and his cabinet regret
the war as greatly as any one else
but having got INTO it they find it
very difficult to get out Of it honor
ably. The Filipenos were at war
with the Spaniards, and twas sup
posed if they were liberated from
Spanish rule they would gladly &c
cept the aid of our own government
to establish more stable and just
government. But in this we were
mistaken. Aguiraldo was seized
with desire to rule and made war
to secure his object. When he lays
down his arms there will be peace
and not before. Mckinley did not
go into this struggle willingly, he
was forced into it, and it is unfair
to hold him responsible for the loss
of lives and property which has en-
sued. The religious and patriotic
portion of the population fancied
that they saw an opportunity to
christianize the population of the
Filipenos, on the withdraw al of the
Spanish army, and hence our gov
eminent was placed in its present
position which it cannot honorably
abandon. The destruction of the
barbarians by the Jews was far
greater than we are likely to ac-
complish in the Philippines, and
vet Joshua and his hosts never
thought of turning back. but
steadily pressed forward until the
work was accomplished.

news received touching the last incl

no additional instructions were TO be-
