This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
Of the night by a whoOp from one of the
children. The Group remedies are al
most AS sure to be lost in case of Group,
AS revolver is sure to BE- lost in case Of
burglars There used to be an old
fashioned remedy for cr0Gp, known as
hive syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost as
much. II causes the patient to throw
up the phlegm' quicker and gives re-
lief in shorter time Give this remedy

farm in Lincoln county Two weeks
ago the state sold $50 bales at 10 cents

this TO the fact that the state 4 cotton

1t is a general principle of law that
an individual or corporation NAV n,al-e
reasonable regulations for the con-
duct of business. Just what reason
able means In this connection has
brought about great deal of litigation
ana the courts have been Obliged to
make many decisions, some Of which
nave seemed rather extraordinary. The
courts of New York city have lust es-
tablished the rule that a restaurant
proprietor may refuse to serve a per-
son not in evening dress" If he has a
regulation to the effect that all his
guests after o'clock must be SO att
tired. hungry man was refused food
ana went TO law and has his inforina-
ton for his pains.
who will think that this is siIIy lie-
clsion. based on unjust considerations
and at first sight 1t may appear rather
unusual. serious consideration of
the subject however, leads to the con-
clusion that II is we'll grounded and
ought to be observed. The proprietor
OF restaurant would undoubtedly he
justified in ejecting an offensive look
ing tramp, even If he had all sorts or
money to buy delicacies. This beinr
the case, 1t is easy TO see that ii Is
the proprietor who must draw the line
somewhere. and II he draws 1t at
spike-tails' 1t is his good privilege
1t can be assumed that no proprietor
would make such an Arrangement I'M
less 1t was satisfactory to his custom
ers. II he wants to have place whore
only those CARRIED in the correct FASH
ion for evening gAyeties are admitted.
he has the right to make the ruling
and keep 1t going.
