One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
a serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing viii protect from the frequency
ard perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest Of precautions they
will come. This is a settled fact of
human experience.
Especially is this true during the
stormy and unsettled weather of early
winter. Everybody must expect to be
caught somewhere or somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or cold
draught, or damp clothes, or may be too
close confinement in hot rooms and then
going out into the cold carelessly, or it

The Best Remedy for Group

From the Atchison (Kans.) Daily
Globe: This is the season when the
woman who knows the best remedies
for Group is in demand in every
neighborhood. One of the most terri
BILE things in the world is to be awak-
ened in the middle of the night by a
whoop from one of the children. The
Group remedies are almost as sure to
be lost, in case of Group, as a revolver
is sure to be lost in case of burglars.
There used to be an old-fashioned
remedy for Group, known as hive syr-
up and tolu. but some modern moth
ers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Kennedy is better, and does not cost
% much. 1t. causes the patient to
throw up the phlegm" quicker, and
gives relief in a shorter time. Give
this remedy as soon as the croupy
cough appears and it will prevent the
attack. 1t never fails and is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by all
druggists.

Sunday, Nov. 80, new time card

listing in getting No. As, the morning
train from the north, to run near its

1t is now proposed to try an expedi-
emit that has not been attempted here

from the northern terminus earlier
reaching Rock Island shortly before

This will render the train still more
inconvenient for tri-city people than
at present, even though an improve
ment is effected in its regularity.
Rock Island Notes.
The unusually large number of pro-
motions that have been made lately
among the enginemen does not pre-
vent no less than six passenger en-
gines running into the Rock Island
roundhouse from being without regu-
larly assigned engineers, and depend
ant upon extras to take them out
from trip to trip. Enough more pro-
motions to fill these places will have
to be made very soon.

always avoid the inevitable catching
cold.
Sometimes colds come like an cpl
demic; everybody seems to have one al

the head, throat and lungs.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected each winter by
Peruna. Once in the family Peruna
