'TWOULD SPOIL THIS STORY TO
TELL. IT IN THE HEADLINES.

To use an eighteenth century phrase,
this is an "o'er true tale" Having hap
pened in small Virginia town in
the winter of 1902, it is story very
much of the present. Up to short
time ago Mrs. John Z. Harmon, of Mel
ia Station, Va, had no personal knowl-
edge of the rare curative properties OF
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Last
January" she says, my baby took a
dreadful cold and at one time | feared
she would have pneumonia, but one of
my neighbOrs told me how this remedy
had cured her little boy and began Civ
ing it to my baby at once and it soon
cured her. | heartily thank the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy for placing so great cure within my
reach. | cannot recommend it too high
ly or say too much in its favor. | hope
all who read this will try it and be con-
WINGED as | was. For sale by Shurtleff

COLDS ARE DANGEROUS.

How often you hear it remarked
''It's only cold" and few days later
learn that the man is on his back with
pneumonia This is of such common

tendency toward pneumonia. 1t always

MUNICIPAL PROGRESS

Addressing Il section of the memorable Interna
tional Congress of Arts and Sciences. Doctor Albert
Shaw, the editor of rhe American Review of Re
views. made a s~trikinGly just survey Of the condi
tons Of life in American cities. Other students OF
public affairs have covered more fully the evils and
defects Of municipal administration and others the
means and modes of advancement; but none has 50
well put the two phases in ju1:aposition. or drawn
conclusions so fair or so conyincingly presented rea-
sons for confidence.
Doctor Shaw is aware that many difficulties bar
the course of progress. These he takes into &C
count but without dependency. He percefves that
in two decades great Improvements have been made
in all large cities. fundamental reforms have been
effected and the people have discovered practical
ideals whereby betterment may be attained. He
advises that. while it is necessary TO he vigilant. it
is absurd TO cover before any shadow.
American cities bear no resemblance to them
selves of twenty years ago. Old sears are still
visible. as might be expected, and there still are de-
fects in the organic law, and there still are objec-
tionable practices in public departments. Yet. the
appearance is transformed for the better. the basal
law is better. the methods Of managing departments
are improved. and the public service is elevated.
As Doctor Shaw says. the people have grasped
the conception of orderliness, beauty and sanitary
safety in town life, and they will work out without
fail in all modern Industrial countries where there
is prosperity enough 10 keep the forces of civiliZa-
ton alive and active" This assertion implies, of
course, that the visible improvements. such as
streets. ewers and schools, and the notifications or
alterations in laws and methods. are both the re-
suit Of higher popular ideals; that the progress is
strictly a betterment.
There is much 10 depiore and there is much TO
watch and there is much To do. But there is 10
cause for lack of hope. The past stage was pre-
liminary and experimental; the formative period in
the development of municipal administration. The
present time finds the public of the large cities
with mistakes and deficiencies. interested
in public affairs and enthusiastic for advancement.
considered, the experimental period has
brought many and greater benefits than might have
been anticipated.
There are good grounds for Doctor Shaw's
declaration that betternent will work out without |
fail" If such suspicious success was realized with
systems and against ruinous agents and
agencies, it is not an extravagant expectation that
the big cities will ultimately become model mu-
in a practical sense. The hopefulness
expressed by the well-kncwn editor is warranted by
improved conditions of life in the
titles.

ing it n success. To accentuate Missouris part in
the Exposition the State administration gave Mis-
souri, the finest edifce in the grounds, an edifice
which compares in size and beauty with the main
palaces. and it managed TO give prominence to Mis-
souri's exhibits.
The people of Missouri have reason to be proud
OF the States participation in the Exposition and to
look upon the Exposition as a Missouri triumph.
The Exposition has exploited Missouri so well that
the country now has Il higher respect for the State
and n more accurate conception of the States re-
sources.
The Missouri Day celebration ought TO draw rep
resentatives of all cities and counties. Ii is desired
TO have a record-breakinG attendance on this oc-
casion: 10 make an impression which will do credit
to the State. Governor Dockcry and Mayor Wells
have proclaimed n holiday in order to exploit Mis-
souri,. Missouri Day Should be as great an event
