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,
On. W dairyman called at drug store
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with the Group.
Not finding the doctor in, he left word
for him to come at once on his return.
He also bought bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped
would give some relief until the doctor
should arrive. In few hours he re-
turned, saying the doctor need not come,
as the child was much better. The drug
gist, Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family
has since recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant demand
for it from that part of the country. For

GREAT Y. M. CA. DAY
Oskaloosa Organization Celebrate
18th Anniversary.

Sunday was great day in the
Young Mems Christian Association
circles in Oskaloosa and the fruits of
the efforts will no doubt be satisfac-
tory. The association was greatly
pleased and the city favored to have
| present on the occasion Mr.. l.. Will
bur Messer, general secretary of the
thirty associations in Chicago. He
is pleasing and earnest talker and
his appeals to young men and to the
support of the organization were
strong and convincing. During the
day he presided at three different
meetings. One in the morning was
held in the rooms and was attended
by about 30 young men and boys. A
second meeting was held in the af-
ternoon at the Congregational church
and about 800 men and boys were
present at this meeting and much
good was accomplished. In addition
to Mr.. Messer's address there was a
musical program participated in by
Mr.. @. L. Farmhouse, Mrs. Belle Ray
and o. @ Club. In the evening a
general meeting, in celebration of the
18th anniversary of the association
in Oskaloosa, was held in the Gen.
trail M. E. church. Every seat in the
great auditorium was filed and many
stood up during the exercises. 1t is
safe to say 1900 people attended, at
testing the high regard in which the
association is held in Oskaloosa.
The services opened with prayer
by Rev. Mcknight of the Christian
church, followed by scripture read
ing by Rev. Mcbride. Music was
furnished by the o. Q. club, and the
Methodist choir, Mrs. w. A. Sewers
accompanying on the pipe organ.
Ralph Burnside, president of the To-
cal association, presided, and called
on w. s. Lacy, the general secretary
for few remarks. Mr.. Messer was
then introduced and gave one of the
best and most interesting addresses
ever heard in Oskaloos. The needs
of building in Oskaloosa were espe-
cially emphasized, land the movement
that has been launched in this direc-
ton was given a new inspiration.
The day all through was one of great
conservation and will do much for
the uplifting of the organization in
Oskaloosa.
The work done by the organization
in Oskaloosa for the past year was
set forth in pamphlets distributed to
the audiences in which it is shown
that great good has been accomplish
