IGNORANCE

Blows out the gas and furnishes the

may be an honest plea, but it never
brought victim back to life. Those
who let cough run on, i'll ignorance of
the danger, find no escape from the con-
sequences when the cough develops into
lung trouble
The best time to cure cough is when
it starts. Ordinarily, few doses of DIR.

cure a cough at the beginning But
even when the cough is deep-seated, the
lungs bleed and the body is wasted by

of every hundred effect a perfect and
permanent cure.

but an not sure. If a man doesn't
want anything very much and is con.
tent to do nothing of much conse-
quence. it is as easy for him to be hon
est as ii ever was. Eut if he wants to
get very rich. or has aspirations that
carry him deep into the competitions of
business. to be honest becomes. it
would seem, highly complicated mat
ter wherein success. if achieved at an
seems apt to be achieved at the cost Of
whatever else he is after. Do YOU
think there is such thing as absolute
honesty? There are plenty of people
who won't steal, if they realize it's
stealing. and a good many who won't
qie, if they realize it's lying; but when
stealing or lying comes disguised as
self-defense, or legitimate enterprise.
they may feel differently. The safest
theory seems to be that men are natur-
