FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH
A Serious Mistake Which
Thousands are Making.
MRS. MI. BRINK

The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as catching cold"
It may be in the head, nose, throat
or lungs. Its beginning is sometimes
so severe as to cause a chill and con-
siderable fever, or it may be so slight
as to not hinder a person from his
usual business. In perhaps a major
ity of cases little or no attention is
paid to the first stage of catarrh, and
hence 1t is that nearly one-half of the
people have chronic catarrh in some
form.
To neglect cold is to invite chron-
&c catarrh. AS soon as any one dis
covers the first symptoms of catching

Wanted a Public Library.

Who is the public spirited son of this
town who will do for it what Colonel
Robert j. Kimball has done for his
native town? No more enduring monu-
ment can be raised to perpetuate the
family name unto the most remote gen
erations The following clippings from
the state press show how the leading
editors regard this magnificent gift of
Colonel Kimball.
Colonel r. j Kimball shows his devo-
ton to his native town in presenting to
it a handsome pubic library building.
Randolph will hold in grateful rcmem-
brance her worthy son by this gift, and
this and future generations will rise up
and call him blessed. -Morrsville News

Pine Bluff, North Carolina, has set
the country, and especially several Ver-
mont towns, an example worthy of imi.
tation. The citizens of that town, by a
practically unanimous vote, petitioned
the legislature to pass an act giving the
town the right for several years to lay a
special tax to be used in advertising its
advantages and attractions as a winter
resort. The act was passed. Talk
about the South not being progressive!
Vermont is not in it with Pine Bluff.
