What TO do Until the Doctor Arrives.


1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN. W dairy called at drug store
there for doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought bottle of Chsmberlsin's
Cough Remedy. which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. 10 q few hours he returned,
saying the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlsin's
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has constant demand
for it from that part OF the country.

Eggs will take an upward Jump ol

The cold snap and the snow have saved

for fresh eggs have ranged from - to

will elevate these figures materially at

eggs than any city in the world.
Within the last thirty days there
have been 700, 900 cases of eggs in Chs
cago, supply unprecedented IN the
history of any city. A case OF eggs
contains thirty dozen, or $50 eggs
Therefore 700 1000 cases would repre-

about so per cent. of all the market

TROUBLES OF FRANK JONES.

by taking the berth reserved for Jones
of New Hampshire. When they ar

Hampshire, after stopping to transact
some business, went to the Arlington
and asked for the room which he had
telegraphed to have reserved for him
"Why, you arrived here half an hour
ago." gasped the hotel clerk, "anC
you re in your room now"
At this instant Frank Jones of New
York appeared with a bundle of let
tiers.
"What did you send these letters NJ
to me for?" he demanded of the clerk
"They're all addressed to Frank Jones
but they are not for me-"
Here his eyes lighted on Jones O
New Hampshire, and both men saw
what had happened and burst ou
laughing. Jones of New York haC
opened mail of Jones of New
