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 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 a household neccs- sity. By its 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, especi- ally those who have small children, always keep it in their homes as a safe guard against croup.-Camdcn (S. e.

Won in the House.

ritories has decided to report on the bills providing for the ad- mission of Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico to statehood on Friday, February 21. This agreement was reached after the arguments in favor of statehood for New Mexico had been pre- scented.
 There seems to be but little doubt that the house committee will report favorably upon the bills admitting the three ter ritories to the union and will also report a bill granting a territorial form of government for the Indian territory. Nothing has developed in any of the hearings to indicate that there is any op- position in the committee to statehood for Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico. While the meetings at which the advocates of statehood presented their ar guments have not been attended by the full committee, the deepest interest has been shown in all of the statements made and the ma jority of the committe is un- questionably in favor ofthe pass age of the bills.
 While there will be some op- position to the bills in the house, the indications now are that they will all pass by a good majority. The work of Mir. Flynn of Okla homa and Mir. Rodey of New Mexico on the republican. side, and MT. Smith of Arizona on the democratic side has been most effective, and it is claimed that considerably more than a ma- jority of the current members have agreed to vote for the bills. The outlook is not so cheering on the senate side. As yet the committee on territories of the senate has not granted any hear ings on the bills and has not given them any extended con- sideration. It is known that some of the senators from the eastern states are radically ap- posed to the admission of the territories for political and sec tional reasons. The increase ofthe number of the senators by six, with interests and sympathy in the development of the west and southwest is not desired by some of the members of the senate. One of them expressed this view and declared that he was not in favor of adding six votes in the senate that would be in favor of national irrigation projects and measures of that character However, as soon as the meas ures have passed the house the statehood advocates from the three territories will transfer their work to the senate and make concerted effort to secure favorable consideration of their claims.
 The fight must now be pressed to the doors of the senate, and according to the above dispatch there is no reason why the cam. paign should not be carried OF in a hopeful spirit. The same arguments which have beer effective with the members of the house cannot fail to impress the senators. If the admission bills can be passed through the house
