a Serious Mistake.

To the average man IL seems childish
TO doctor a cold and unless IL becomes
particularly annoying to him, little or
no attention is given #. Often a cold
contracted in the winter is allowed TO
run until the opening OF spring This is
a grave mistake. even though the
warm weather may bring relief. the sys-
tenn is thereby weakened and rendered
susceptible TO disease. A cold should
never be neglected. whether II be a child
or an adult who is afflicted. as health and
often life Is risked. A bottle Of Cham
beTlain's Cough RemeGy costing but
small amount Will bring speedy relief
and all dangerous consequences will be
avoided. For sale by Henry Evans

THINK 1T OVER.
Something You Can See in Any Res
/ taurant or Cafe.

A physician puts the query: Have you
never noticed in any large restaurant
al lunch or dinner time the large num-
Der OF hearty, vigorous old men at the
tables: men whose ages run from sixty
TO eighty years; many of them bald and
all perhaps gray, but none of them
feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless IL is al OBJ
ject lesson which means something
II you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they are not munching bran crack
ers nor gingerIy picking their way
through a menu card OF new-fangled
health foods: on the contrary they seem
to prefer a Juicy roast OF beef. a prop
erlv turned loin OF mutton. and even
the deadly brOiled lobster Is not alto
gether ignored
The point OF all this is that a vIgor-
Gus old age depends upon good diges-
tion and plenty OF wholesome food and
not upon dieting and an endeavor TO live
upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class OF food cranks
who seem to believe that meat. cof-
fee. and many other good things are
sickly looking individuals are a walk
ing condemnation OF their own theories
The matter in n nutshell is that II

tive Juices IN SuHiCleuI quantity any

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels. and in fact are not
strictly a medicine. as they act almost
entirely upon the food eaten digesting
