Treatment tor Coughing. ~

A sudden and wearing attack of
coughing often needs immediate
attention, especially in consump-
tives and those chemically ill. In
an emergency that ever useful
remedy, hot water, will often prove
very effective. 1t is much better
than the ordinary cough mixtures,
which disorder the digestion and
spoil the appetite. Water almost
boiling should be slipped when the
paroxisms come on. A cough re-
sulting from irritation is relieved
by hot water through the promo
tion of secretion, which moistens
the irritated surfaces. Hot water
also promotes expectoration and
so relieves dry cough.

Now at our expense We want to
ask every such woman in Mt. Ster-
ling TO try our cod liver oil prepa-

highly concentrated form all of the

man is in poor condition it makes
life worth living. When we say
AT our expense, we mean that if
the medicine you buy from us and

Il. c. Platt and other notahles
have been on the witness stand.
Their testimony showed that the
three large insurance COMPANIES
had contributed regularly large
amounts of money to campaign

of dollars to influence legislation
in New York State. More ligb'

Upon My Honor
As an American CltIzen.

I consider Paracamph, First Aid to the
Injured, to be Americas most reliable
household remedy. fully believe and win
guarantee Paracamph to be the quickest
and surest relieving and healing agent
ever offered to the public for Burns, Cuts,
Bruises, Swellings and Inhammations. It
is an absolute preventive OF Blood
Poisoning, for which reason alone 1t
should be kept in every home, shop, or
factory. Paracamph heals without leav-
ing ugly scars. 1t does not dry and scab,
out actually heals, from the bottom Of
the wound up. Paracamph is unequaled
for the quick relief it gives in cases OF
Neuralgia, Rheumatic Swellings, Sore
Feet, Sore Muscles, Itching and Burning
Skin, Itching Piles, Insect Bites, Swell
ings and Infammations. 1t is superior
to old fashioned salves and liniments,
arnica and vaseline, for the reason that
when applied it opens the pores of the
skin, penetrates directly to the seat OF the
ailment, stimulates the circulation, re-
moves the congestion and draws out all
soreness, fever and Inflammation by Undue
ing sweating. I guarantee every bottle
of Paracamph to do exactly what IS
claimed for It when applied as directed.
If used as advised without giving the
promised results, every retail druggist is
authorized to refund the money. Don't
take any substitute, there is nothing ''just
as good as Paracamph.
Sold only in 25c, Soc and 800 bottles
by all good druggists, or sent direct.

GETTING RID OF STONES.
It Is Possible That to Do 80 IL Not
Always the Most Profitable
Proposition.

1t Is told of Scotch farmer, who
had just rented a new farm, that he
hired host Of workers and cleared
his fields of millions of stones in
readiness for his first grain crops.
Instead Of benefiting the land the loss
of the stones actually spoiled the crop,
and next season the stones were care
fully returned to the land with good
results. We cannot vouch for the
accuracy of this story. but 1t serves to
bring up the question whether II al
ways pays to rid land Of stones. There
are instances In which we feel sure
that 1t does not pay.
The other day we passed a big
plowed field In Wisconsin where the
farmer had used the harrows and was
then busily engaged with hired hand
in collecting and hauling off round
stones of the cobblestone type that
were everywhere to be seen lying upon
the newly turned surface, says A. s.
Alexander, in Farmers Review. The
land was rolling and as the train
passed through cut we saw that the
field being operated upon was really a
deep bed of coarse gravelly clay. The
entire depth OF soil was composed Of
stones and clay. so that removal OF
one layer of surface stones could not
possibly benefit the surface soil con-
dition for any great length of time.
by rains would be sure to bring as
many stones to the surface as were
there before, and one might keep
clearing off each year for a generation
without removing them all or doing
any great amount of good. The work
of stone gathering and removal was in
this case to our mind waste Of labor
and money, and 1t is questioned II
the stones by gradual disintegration
or weathering do not produce the
plant food upon which crops feed. S.
On bowlder clay, where the stones
are very large and comparatively
scarce, 1t certainly pays to get rid Of
them by use of dynamite or other
means. Such rocks are of little value
and are a nuisance to the plowman or
when moving or harvesting, and
should be hauled out to the fence line
as soon as they can be dislodged.
Where the land Is naturally stony its
fertility is liable to be associated with
the presence of stones and their re.
nioval may prove detrimental, although
work may be facilitated for a time by
their absence. The subject Is Of some
interest and we would like to have
the experience of men who have made
1t their practice each spring to get rio
Of as many surface stones as possible
upon land that is naturally filed with
them.

WESTERN POLITICIAN WON.
Made the Secretary . Proposition
Which Was Too Much
for Him.

When Richard Olney was secretary Of
state he Frequently gave expression to tue
opinion that appointees to the consular
service should speak the languages Of the
countries to which they were respectively
accredited, relates the Philadelphia Rec
ord.
1t is said that when a certain breezy and
enterprising western politician who was
DESTROYS of serving the Cleveland admins-
tration in the capacity Of consul at one OF
the Chinese ports presented his papers to
Mr.. Olney, the secretary remarked:
Are you aware, Mr.. Blank, that never
recommend to the president the appoint
ment of consul unless he speaks the Ian
guage Of the country to which he desires
to 60! Now, l suppose, you do not speak
Chinese!"
Whereupon the westerner grinned broad
ly. IF, Mr.. Secretary" said he, you will
ask me question in Chinese / shall be
happy to answer it,"
He got the appointment.

PRACTICAL ROAD BUILDING.

The question OF improving public

Ohio at the present time. The numer-

this subject and in the department of
agriculture has established an office OF
