1roaching marriage. The couple are now spending
their honeymoon in Portlanu. Ore. after which
they will live IN this city.

School Notes.

Vera Cameron has returned to school
after an absence of several weeks.
Chauncy burlington was absent last
week on account of illness.
DR.. U..A. Foster delivered a lecture
at the high school last Friday. He
told in u very pleasing manner what
the people think "Down Our Way"
The discourse was highly appreciated,
being interesting In the extreme and
having in it strain of rare wit and
humor.
We think that one of the members OF
the senior history class needs mega
phone to make himself heard during
recitation. The rest don't need any,
as they don't say much, anyway.
The High School enjoyed rare
treat Wednesday. Mr.. Fl. w. Bailey
gave short but extremely graphic
account OF Sherman's March to the
Sea, as we'll as some personal recol-
lections that delighted his hearers.
The discourse was very beneficial to
all, especially to those who are study
ing U. S. history.

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES

The tendency of medical science Is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
given to the subject. 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous
diseases that medical men have to
contend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
Pnuemonia always results from cold
or from an attack OF influenza (grip), ,
and it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency OF
these diseases toward pnuemonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this rem
edy hos been used during the great
prevalence Of colds and grip in recent
years and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pnuemonia otter
results from slight cold when nc
danger is apprehended until it is .sud
denly discovered that there Is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it Is announced thai
the patient has pneumonia. Be or
the safe side and take Chamberlain Is
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold Is
contracted. 1t always cures. Fol-
sale at Mayo's Drug Store.

Greeley's Opinion in the Matter.

The medical crank with icicles in
his blood may tell US that microbes
love to browse upon the lips of youth
and spread disease and graveyard
tickets. And they may picture kiss
ing as a skull and cross bone affair.
But the average mortal is willing to
lead the average scientist with his
hobbies out behind the woodshed and
sink an axe into them.
A kiss is cognac distilled in
heaven, Tom and Jerry served hot
from the fountain OF youth. 1t makes
the aged beart beat like that of a
school kid, the toothless old sinner
to rise on his hind feet and neigh like
two-year-old. It is a nerverestorer,
a health tonic, bracer that gives a
keener appetite to the lips 1t satisfies.
It is the whole Iof heaven taken in a
single dose.
kissing is an emotion, not pre-
meditated act. When man wishes
to kiss woman, he don't put the job
off or ask for stay OF proceedings.
He won't wait to go out and hunt up a
clerk of court to get q certificate that
his blood is up to the test. He cannot
wait to funigate his lips. A kiss like
pancakes must be served warm, or the
dish is spoiled.-Big Fork Compass,
