woMAN,s ODE WINS PRIZE.

Not long ago the National Irrigation Congress
opened prize competition for ode on irrigation
the poem selected to be set to music and sung by
over two hundred voices at the opening OF the
congress in Ogden, Utah. September 10 Mrs. Gill
bert McCurg. of Colorado Springs, Col, is the sue
cessful contestant, her ode, entitled Irrigation"
having been chosen over fifty competing odes.
Mrs. McClurg formerly Miss Virginia

ment in recognition Of her studies in ethnoogy and

special request Of Mrs D. T. S. Denson, she repre-
scented the National Federation of Womens Clubs,
Following is one section of Mrs. McClurg's prize
ode the final choral. which it her thought
should be sung to the air of America:

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's 8
Cough Remedy.

Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain 8
Cough Remedy.
"When l had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) l actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
w. Perry, editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest
truth. l at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking teaspoonful
of this remedy, and when the coughing
spell would come on at night would
take dose and it seemed that in the
briefest interval the cough would pass
off and would go to sleep perfectly free
from cough and its accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as most
agreeable surprise is putting it very
mildly. / had no idea that it could or
would knock out the grip, simply be-
cause l had never tried it for such a
purpose, but it did, and it seemed with
the second attack of coughing the rem
edy caused it to not only be of less du-
ration, but the pains were far less severe
and / had not used the contents of one
bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me
adieu." For Sale by G. @. Osburn.
