There is no better medicine for the
babies than Chamberlain g Cough Rem
edy. It's pleasant taste and prompt
and ctfectual cures make it favorite
with mothers and small children. It
quickly cures their coughs and colds,
preventing pneumonia or other serious
consequences. It also cures Group
and has been used in tens of thousands
Of cases without single failure so
far as We have been able to learn. 1t
not only cures cronp, but when given
as soon as the croupy cough appears,
will prevent the attack. In cases of
whooping cough it liquefes the tough
mucus, making it easier to expecto-
rate, and lessons the severity and fre-
quency of the paroxysms of coughing,
thus depriving that disease Of all dan
gerous consequences. For csalc by

Some Ways Answered.

Is itnot surprising what - number
oi little things we do without knowing
the reason?
Why, for instance, do widows wear
caps? Perhaps you may say because
they make them look pretty and in.
tcresting But the real reason is that
when the Romans were in England
they shaved their heads as a sign of
mourning. OF course, woman
couldn't let herself be seen with
bald head, so she made herself
pretty cap. And now, though the
necessity of wearing it has passed
away, the cap remains.
Why do we have bows on the left
side of our hats? In oldcn times,
when men were much in the open air
and hats couldn't be bought for half
dollar, it was the habit to tic cord
around the crown and let the ends fall
, on the left side to be graspcd on the
arising Of a squall. They fell on the
left side so they might be grasped by
the left hand, the right being more
usefully engaged. Later on, tho ends
got to be tied in bow, and later still,
they became useless, yet the bow has
remained, and will probably remain till
the next dcluge Oh something of that
Sort
What is the meaning Of the crosses
or Ns on barrel Of beer? They sig
Nifty degrees Of quality nowadays.
But originally they were put on by
thosesancient monks as a::sort of trade
mark. They were crossed those days,
and meant sort OF oath on the cross,
sworn by the manufacturer that his
barrel contained ood.liquor.
Why arei bells tolled for the dead :?
This has become.so familiar practice
that funeral without it would appear
un-Christian. Yet the reason is quite
barbarous. Bells wcrctolled long ago,
when people were. being buried, in
order to frighten away evil spirits who
lived in the air.
Why do fair ladies break bottle Of
wine on the ship they are christening {?
Merely another survival of barbaric
custom. In the days Of sacrifice to
the gods it was customary tn get some
poor victim when boat was being
launched and to cut his throat over
the prov, so that his blood baptized
it.
Why.are dignitaries dcafcncd by q
salute when they visit foreign; port?
1t seems a curious sort Of welcome,
this firing off of guns, but it seems
the custom arose in very responsible
way. Originally town or warship
fired off their guns on the approach Of
important and friendly strangers to
show that they had such faith in the
visitors, peaceful intentions they
didn't think it necessary to keep their
guns loaded.
Why do we sometimes throw shoe
after bride? The reason is not very
complimentary. From, of old it has
been the habit of mothers to chastise
their children with a! shoe. Hence
the custom arose Of the father of
bride making present to the BRIDE
groom of shoe as q. sign that it was
to be his right to keep her:in order

Total Abstinence and Life Insurance.

surancc company, the United klEg-
dom Temperance and General Proyi-
dent Institution, of London, began
experimenting along this line by plac :
lug those of its policy holders who
were total abstainers in a separate
section from those who used intoxica-
ting liquors as Il beverage. During
the thirty two years Of the business
of this company the general average
ratio of actual to expected deaths in
the total abstinence section has been
81 per cent. less than that in the gen.
eral section.
During the past fifteen years the
Scottish Temperance Life Association
of Edinburgh has followed the same
policy. During all this time the aver
age ratio of actual to expected claims
in the total. abstinence section has
been AZ per cent, while in the gener-
al section it has been Ga difference
of 22 per cent in favor of the total
abstinence ection.
The Life Insurance Company, Of
London, also started out on the same
plan, ard a':rr fifteen. years of exper-
imentinr r." same results were soon
visible. Thisicompany has done "a n
extensive1 business, and the general
average ratio of actual to expected
deaths in it's total abstinence section
has been 56.37 per cent, while in it's
general section the ratio has been
8O.34 per cent.-a difference of
1887 per cent, in favor of total absti-
nence.
In, 1890 when some capitalists in
Australia wanted to organize the Aus
tralian temperance General Mu-
tual Life Assurance Society, they fol-
lowed the plan Of the original London
concern, and during the first FIVE years
OF its existence made a stronger
showing cthau many Of the! other
companies in favor of total absti-
nence.
The British Empire Mutual Life
Assurance Company, orgarized on
still another plan, has also divided it's
policy holders INTO two. classes, and
the earnings Of the total abstinence
section have been such that frequent
special dividends have been declared
in which the other. policy holders did
not participate.
In New Zealand, Canada and New
York the same plan has been followed
with the same general result.
.In recent years thorough invcstiga-
tions have been made by men promi-
uent in the life insurance business, and
they all agree that the death urate
is largely increased by the use of alco-
holic liquors by their policy holders.
And this is the consensus of opinion
among insurance men everywhere.
1t is said of the Northwestern Life
Insurance Company, Of Milwaukee,
that they refusestosinsure any one who
is in any way connected with the beer
business even though it be only q
driver who hauls the barrels, SO con-
vinced are they that beer drinking
shortens life and that association with
the business of it's manufacture leads
to the beer drinking habit.
In the face Of :this Overwhelming
testimony from emen who: have no
special interest in temperance, but
who are looking sharply after the dol
lar, he must be truly blind to the
truth who refuses to sbelieve that
the use of alcoholic beverages Of; all
kinds shorten life.

GERMAN AMERICANS ARE
ANGRY WITH DEMOCRATS

Democrats are predicting utter de-
feat for their county ticket. They say
that il was weak enough, but on Satur-
day the county convention made it
worse by placing on ii the name of
James B. Toman for clerk Of the peace
Mr.. Toman's record, Democrats de-
clare. will lose many votes for the
party.
The choice OF Toman will also lose
all OF the German-American votes to
the Democrats. because that ele-
ment has heretofore been a
strong wing Of the party. This time
the Democratic ticket makers have ut
terly ignored the solicitations of the
German-Americans and failed to place
a candidate of their kind in the race.
The only salve which the German
Americans have been given was the Sc
lection Of Joseph B. Bierman as secre-
tary of the county convention. This Is
not the recognition that the German
Americans wanted, and they threaten
to throw over the Democratic party.
