partments in which the women are
primarily interested. The dress goods
department just in front of the en-.
trance is managed by L. D., Written.

be very popular both in dresses and
millinery.

No poison in Champerlaiu's cough remedy.

From Napier, New Zealand, Herald:
Two years ago the pharmacy board OF
New South Wales, Australia, had an
analysis made Of all the cough medi-
cines sold in that market Out of the
entire list they found only one that
they declared was entirely free from
all poisons. This exception was the
Chamberlain cough remedy made by
the amberlain Medicine Co. Des
Moines q. S. A. The absence af all
narcotics makes this remedy the safest
and best that can be had, and it Is
with a feeling OF security that any
mother can give it to her little ones.
Chamberlain's cough remedy is espec-
tally recommended by it's makers for
coughs, colds, Group and whooping
cough. This remedy is for sale by all
druggists.
