HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Chambers
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the rough cough appears. and
1T will dispel all symptoms of Group.
In this way all danger and anxiety
may be avoided. This remedy is
used by thousands of mothers and
has never been known to fail. 1t is.
in fact. the only remedy that can al
ways be depended upon and that is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale
by all druggists.

Make few, tersely replied the

of young men, but no greater need
than the young men have for 1t.
Your clothes fit you better than
your father fit him; they cost more

writes
The article in the San of today
over the name Of L. Moos is a gra-

Southern Maryland, and evidences
the fact that Mr.. Moos is as ignor-
ant Of the character Of our people as
his letter shows him to be Of the
topography Of our country, which
he characterizes as wholly low
lands.
There are, no doubt, men and
women in Southern Maryland, as
in Baltimore and everywhere, who
''detest labor" But venture the
assertion that our people as whole
are as industrious as those of any
other section Of our State and there
are none who regard the dignity Of
labor more highly The settlement

the large ownership OF slaves en-
tailed the necessity OF large hold

lander becoming the successful

Is the honest truth. at times kept

taking a teaspoonful Of this remedy,
and when a coughing spell would
come on at night | would take dose
and IL seemed that in the briefest in

would go TO sleep perfectly free
from cough and It's accompanying

cd as most agreeable surprise is
putting it very mildly | had no
idea that ii could knock out the grip,
simply because l had never tried it
for such purpose, but it did, and il

MUCH BAD WHISKY.

Seattle Post Intelligencer: At the re-
cent annual convention of the National
Pure Food congress an address was
delivered by E. w. Taylor, a Kentucky
distiller, containing some facts which
certainly should be of interest to all
who use whisky as a beverage or for
medicinal purposes. according to the
statement of this large distiller, a state
ment which he abundantly supports by
quotations from official statistics of the
Treasury department, adulated goods
amount to not less than 80 per cent Of
the so-called whisky sold in the market
of this country. AS a suggestion in the
line of pure food legislation there is no
conceivable reason why Congress should
not compel the manufacturers of spuri-
Gus whisky TO label their goods for
precisely what they are. This sugges-
ton should appeal to temperance advo-
Gates, for it is quite certain that there
would be less so-called whisky drunk if
the users knew that instead of a genu-
inc article they were taking into their
stomachs simple alcohol diluted with
water and favored with chemicals of
unknown character, but, of known
deleterious effect.
