Could Not Breathe.

Coughs, colds, Group, grip, bronchi-
tbs, other throat and lung troubles are
quickly cured by One Minute Cough
Cure. One Minute Cough Cure is not
a mere expectorant, which gives only
temporary relief. 1t softens and liuui-
fies the mucous, draws out the infiam-
nation and removes the cause of the
disease. Absolutely safe. Acts at
once. "One Minute Cough Cure will
do all that is claimed for it." says JUS

.$IOO FOR LIGHTNING RODS
Elmer Mecker, a Young Usage Town

Elmer Meeker, well-to-do young
farmer of Usage township who came
here from Iowa a short ago, is'seeking
note for 800 which he gave some
days since to a strange maninpayment
for certain lightning rods which were
to adorn and protect the Usage town

diligently but can not find that note,

that it will be on hand at the Moran

giving him the rest of it, and board

make it an extra fine job and bring
farmers from miles around to see the
beauty of it. Meeker agreed, signing
up contract at seyenty-dve cents Il

ments LETT out.
The next day another man came to
do the work. He put up some com
mon wire, barely buried one end in
the ground, put up no ornaments nor
any of the gew-gaws promised and
then asked Meeker to give his note for
$3.50. Meeker refused. The man ar
gued and threatened suit, showing
newspaper clippings of what had hap
pened to farmer who refused to pay.
Meeker read how farms had been
taken away from the owners and when
the angry and importunate man re-
duced the price to 800, he signed the
note. The man departed
Meeker thought it over, came to,
and began hunting for the note to

TAU.ORS AND DRESSMAKERS
declare that the fit of gown depends
large on the underwear. On this
point perfection has been reached by
the "Merode hand-fnished Swiss rib
bed underwear" which is shaped into
the figure and eXcels by far the ill-fit-
ting garments hitherto shown, and
furthermore are quite as reasonable
in price. Seams are carefully finished
buttons require no afterwork, and
hand crotched edging is applied by
hand. They are made in cotton, Isle,
silk and mixtures OF these fabrics.
They may be had in low neck, without
sleeves, or high neck and short sleeves
or with long sleeves. Lord & Taylor
are the exclusive agents, and word
regarding their 'Onyx" hosiery is
not inappropriate.
THE SUMNER SEASON
is best adapted for displaying hand
some styles in this line; therefore lace
stripes, lace "all over" designs on
colors, black embroidered dots on
white, in fact any combination of
black or white) illustrate that fash
ionable fancy. Open-work in all
colors is in thousand varieties, and
colored embroidery on black is alb
solutely without limit. White lace,
or plain white hosiery has not lost
prestige, neither plaln-colored silk,

uous than gayer styles,

gloves will always be worn to some
extent, but lace are more dressy.
