Hote,. ana trained Nurses.

Trained nurses are not welcome
guests in New York hotels. and in fact
in many they are expressly forbidden
to appear in the dining rooms in their
uniforms. The hotel keepers object to
their presence in their working dresses
because any indication of the existence
of disease in a hotel is disadvanta-
geous Under these circumstances they
are compelled to go through as much
preliminary labor before they go to
meals as If they had been invited under
formal circumstances. Yet the wisdom
of the rule on the part of the hotel pro-
prietors is admitted, as in some of the
large hotels up town occupied chiefly
by families there are frequently 10 or
10 trained nurses employed. The sight
of so many would not be reassuring to
guests.-New York Sun.

The greatest danger from colds and
la grippe is their resulting in pneu-
monia. If reasonable care is used,
however. and Chamberlain Cough
Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens OF thous-

diseases we've yet to learn of a single
case having resulted in pneumonia,
which shows conclusively that it is q
certain preventive of that dangerous
malady. 1t will cure cold or an at

other treatment. 1t is pleasant and

Our Alarm Clock.

We got new alarm clock from Dahl
yesterday, and it's "lulu." The hired
girl set it last night to go off at six this
morning, and we wish to say right now
and here that the clock didn't disap-
point the hired girl "a little bit AT
six o'clock it commenced racket that
would have put "horse fiddle" to
shame. Itkept up the racket about a
minute and then stopped, and we felt
that it had done its full duty, but the
clock didn't think so, for it commenced
again and made q worse racket than at
the first effort. The girl hurried down
stairs and started fire, and when the
breakfast was ready, that alarm clock
was still "doing business at the old
stan" 1t would stop for about min
ute to get its breath, and then go at it
again. After we had eaten breakfast
and got down the street half block,
we could hear that clock "whooping it
up" in grand style. AS an alarm clock
we think it is about the widest propo-
sition we ever went up against. We
can recommend Dahl's alarm clocks.
