Something That Will Do You Good.

We know of no way in which we can
be of more service to our readers than
to tell them OF something that will be of
real good to them. For this reason we
want TO acquaint them with what we
consider one of the very best remedies
on the market for coughs, colds and that
alarming complaint, Group. We refer to
Chamberlains Cough Remedy. We have
used it with such good results in our
family so long that it has become a
household necessity. BY its prompt use
we haven't any doubt but that it has
time and again prevented Group. The
testimony is given upon our own exper-
fence, and we suggest that our readers,
especially those who have small children,
always keep it in their homes as a safe
guard against croup.-Camden Is. Co.

A Lease

Is simply piece of paper with whole lot of reading matter thereon. Sometimes it pays business man to be in possession of one of these simple pieces of paper; for instance: Where would Brother Cutler, our neighbor, be at if he didn't have one? It's plain to be seen where all the rest of the Platt block storekeepers are, because they didn't have a simple piece of paper. Just think of it, Hamilton and the hat man knocked out of business com pletely; Smith, the barber, has gone to join the t'400;' Qhe's a lucky sliy- er) Cutler still at the old stand be- cause he holds a lease; and ourselves located right across the way i'll q better store If we all had leases we would still be at our old quarters. Speaking of leases reminds us; how many of us have q lease on our lives! Not one of us. Then we should be very careful what we drink. When you sit at the table to drink cup of tea make sure it's the good. clean, healthy kind don't drink any old trash because it comes from a tea pot IT you use the kind we sell you'll have no reason to complain.
