For the Babies,

There is no better medicine for the
babies than Cham berlain's Cough Rem
edy. Its pleasant taste and prompt
and effectual cures make it favoriie
with mothers and small children. 1t
quickly cures their coughs and colds,
preventing pneumonia or other serious
consequences. 1t also cures Group and
has been u.ed ia tens of thousands OF
cases without q single failure SO far ss
we have been able to learn. 1t not only
cures Group, but when given as soon as
the croupy cough appears, will prevent
the attack. In cases of whooping cough
it liquefes the tough mucns, making
it easier to expectOrate, and lessons
the severity and frequency of the parox'
ysms of coughing, thus depriving that
disease of all dangerous consequences.

Methodist Music.

Special musical programmes were
rendered at both morning and evening
services at the First Methodist Epis-
copal church yesterday under the di-
lection of Prof. w. d. Evans, the
chorister. The choir was assisted by
Mrs. George II. Ackerman and Leon
Bly,. The music had been thoroughly
practiced and its rendition was al
most faultless. The pastor, Rev. A. r.
Chaffee. preached. both morning and
evening, on subjects appropriate to the
occasion. The Sunday school will hold
its Christmas celebra ton on Tuesday
evening, when Charles Fl. Gabriel's
cantata. "The Prophet of Nazareth" !"
will be given. 1t is a pretty piece and
as the children have been rehearsing
it for some time, it will no doubt be a
very interesting production.
