Proper Treatment Of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous dis

himself, altho he may have the proper
remedies at hand. A physician should
always be called. It should be borne
in mind, however, that pneumonia al
ways results from cold or from an
attack of the grippe, and that by Civ
ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the
threatened attack of pneumonia may
be warded off. This remedy is also
used by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia with the best results. DR..

Down in the First congressional dis

selected at the district convention CALI
ed to nominate a congressman instead
of caucus of district delegates at the
state convention as formerly. The ex-
cuse for the change is found in the
language OF the state committees call
(which reads:

the congressional district delegates and
alternate delegates shall be elected by
conventions called by the congressional
committee of each district in the man
ner of nominating the candidate for re-

This would clearly leave it in the
