"Take care of yourself" say our friends.
"Tlltry to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, Iuobars
and mnckintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, We're torn by coughs, choked by
inflamnations and concessions, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. If you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the Same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (back and chest) and all SIM
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.

n name as well as in fact the world
will begin to hear about him straight
ray, not because he il brilliant and
laring. but because he IL going to get
into hot water, which Is now In process
Of heating for him.
The new regent Is 20, tall and good
looking. with a strong will. He has
rigid views upon justice. but lacks any
great talent for diplomacy, as we'll AZ
that peculiar magnetism that marks
the present king of Norway and Swe-
den. In 1881 he married Princess Vic
toria of Baden-Baden. He already has
been regent twice during interpretations
Of the king.
The members Of the Storthing are
lying in wait for the prince. not only
because he took sides against them in
q recent crisis. but also because OF cer-
tain passages at arms which they have
recently been having with the king.
In token OF the union OF the two peo-
pies, part OF the colors OF Sweden
were added to the max OF Norway, and
this act met with NO favor from the
Norwegian nation. The Storthing
passed three bills abolishing 1t, and
each of them the king vetoed, and by
virtue OF the triple passage tho kingly
position was overturned The crown
prince not only openly espoused his
fathers views, but observed that pos
stbly q march of Swedish troops
through the Nors. country would have
aalutary effect. He has always been
known to favor Sweden more or less.
Should the king die trouble would
certainly follow between the new
monarch and his people unless Gustav
changed his ideas to SUIT those Of the
two countries. The crown prince IL
generally credited with having the
welfare of his people at heart, but he
fs an ardent admirer of the emperor Of
