TENDENCY OF THE TIMES

The tendency OF medical science is to-
ward 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 demon
strated that pneumonia, one Of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men nave
to contend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold or
from an attack of influenza grip, and it
has been observed that this remedy CCun-
teracts any tendency Of these diseases to-
ward pneumonia, This has been fully
proven in many thousands Of cases in
which this remedy has been used during
the great prevalence of colds and grip in
recent years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence Pneumonia often re-
suits from slight cold when no danger is
apprehended until it is suddenly discov-
cred that there is fever and difficulty in
breathing and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has pneumonia
Be on the safe and take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is con-
tracted IC always cures. For sale by

Ants on Horseback.

A French traveller has discovered a new
species of ant in Siam. or, at least, a new
trait he has never before seen recorded
The creatures were small, of gray color,
and lived in damp places. They Travelled
often and in troops. which seemed to be un-
der the direction of a commander who rode
on horseback" M. Meissen. the French
man who noted this popularity. was at
tracted to these groups by discovering that
each company contained large ant that
Travelled more rapidly than the others,
Observing them more closely, he noticed
that each large ant always carried small
gray ant upon it's back, although the re-
mainder of the troop were on foot This
mounted ant would ride out from the line
travel swiftly along the column from head
to rear. and apparently overlook their ma
neuvers. M. Meissen concludes from what
he saw that this species of ant, while on Its
travels. Is under the direction of a COM
rander, though such ''ant horses as the
general rides must be rare and valuable
for he scarcely ever found more than one
mounted ant in colony.-Golden Penny.

Herbert's Lemon Calves.

Once there was little boy Il think his
name was HerberD,
Who looked as if he ate naught else but
plumS and Sherbet.
His nose looked like sugar lump; his eyes
like twin blackberries.
His cheeks like peaches, round and pink.
his mouth like crimson cherries.
He had his picture taken once; twas good
of form and feature

looked like some strange creature.

stuffed down in each stocking
A lemon. Then his legs looked fat Now
wasn't that most shocking?
