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, croup. We refer to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We have used it with such good results in our family so long that it has become household necas sity. By it's prompt use we haven't any doubt but that it has time and again prevented croup. The testimony is given upon our own experience, and we suggest that our readers, especially those who have small children, always keep it in their homes as safeguard against croup.-Camden (S. O.

Average Longevity

The average longevity Of man
and of woman varies considerably
in different places and at differ
ent times. From statistics care
fully compiled, it appears that in
England, for instance, the aver,
age age for males was 35.9 and
for females 41.S5 between the
years 1888 and 1854; while be-
tween 1871 and 1880 Il at of males
was 41.35 and that of females A.
62. In Massachusetts statistics
taken from 1883 to 1857 show au
average of 1912 for males aud 40. .
03 for females. These must be
taken as the average Of white peo-
pie; for, to mention but one in
stance, the average Of the colored
males in Baltimore is not higher
than 81.
