both we're regarded as interlopers
from different standpoints.
But conditions have changed.
The cowboy is annually yielding
more Of his territory to the plow-
boy. The branding iron is giving
place to the plowshear, and the
lasso to the pillow line. With the
disappearance of the primitive
conditions that have long reigned
in the West, also goes out the
most perfect type of western cit
lzenship Of the period. The cow
boy of that time was fitting
adornment of the period, his
place will never be filled. Or
course, we have later day cowboys,
some Of whom affect to be just as
wild ard woody as any of their
predecessors, but to those who
knew the cowboy as pristine
character, the latter day specl'
mems do not measure up to the
old standard. This latter day
cowboyism is too suggestive of
stage setting. The real thing
belongs altogether to the past.

Two years ago the Pharmacy Board
of New South Wales, Australia,
had an analysis made of the cough
medicines that were sold in that

found only one that they declared was
entirely free from all poisons. This
exception was Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, made by the Chamberlain
Medicine Company, Des Moines, Iowa,
U. S. A. The absence of all narcot-
les makes this remedy the safest and
best that can be had; and it is with q
feeling of securely that any mother
can give it to her little ones. Cham
