Shelters armies from the sun.

This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for
Group is in demand in every neigh bor-
hood. 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 rem
edies are ain ost as sure to be lost, in
case OF Group, as n revolver Is
sure TO be lost in case OF burglars.
There used to be an OldfashiOned
remedy for Group, known as hive
syrup and tOlu. but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain
Cough Remedy is better and does
not cost so much. 1t causes the
patient to throw up the phlegm'
