Grip Quickly Knocked Out

"Some weeks ago during the severe
winter weather both my wife and my
self contracted severe colds which
speedily developed into the worst kind
of la grippe with all it's miserable
symptoms" says Mr.. j. s. Egleston of
Maple Landing, Iowa. "Knees and
joints aching, muscles sore, head stopped
mp, eyes and nose running, with alter
nate spells of chills and fever. We
began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, aiding the same with a dose
of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets, and by its liberal use soon
completely knocked out the grip"
1t is "A good plan to take a dose OF the
Tablets when you have a cold. They
promote a healthy action of the bowels,
liver and kidneys which is always bene-
fetal when the system is congested by a
cold or attack of the grip. For sale by
all druggists and dealers of patent
medicine.

Hold Your Cotton for Is Cents.

To the holders of Cotton in Louisiana:
We asked for Eleven Cents and we
got it. Now we ask for Fifteen Cents
and ae are going to get it. II we do not,
it will be because Won who W the
Cotton do not want Fifteen Cents for
it and will not help us to get that price
for you. If you do help you may be
SUR that you will receive the price.
The %spiDners will not be hurt by hav-
ing to pay Fifteen Cents for the balance
of this crop. They have already bought
the biggest half of it at around 10
cents and now if we make them pay
Is cents for the balance it will bring
the average price of the whole crop at
about 1913 cents and that will not be a
high price for n short crop like this,
especially when the best infoiWed
people claim that they have been sell
ing tho manufactured goods on a basis
of IA cents raw cotton eve since last
Spring.
We are going to ask you to sign Il
pledge to hold for 80 days unless the
price reaches Is cents before then. The
wording of the pledge, a plain business
proposition. follows:
We the following named citizens
of......-...Post Office Parish,
Louisiana, hereby agree to use every
power at our command TO hold the mum
Der of bales of cotton stated opposite
our respective names for ninety days
from date and refuse to sell any OF said
cotton within that tlme for less than
Fifteen Gents per pound, basis midhling,
at Il market points.
The names of all signatures will he

Democratic Opportunity.

Mr.. Bryan has announced through the
columns of his paper, The COmmOner,
that the principal cause of democratic
defeat this year was that the men who
secured control of the party Organiza-
ton at st. Louis sounded q retreat
when a charge should have been or
dered all along the line. He insists that
conditions demand radical action, and
that the people want something definite
upon which they can rely. The Com
mOner, he announces, will carry on a
campaign of education, advocating
tariff reform, the overthrow of private
mOnopOlies, labor legislation, municipal
ownership of public utilities, public
ownership Of railroads and telegraph
systems, an income tax, the election of
federal judges by the people, tho cleo
ton of United States senators by popu-
lar vote, direct legislation, and the Sc
lection of postmasters by the people
whom they are to serve.
1t will be necessary to regain centrOl
of the party organization. To do this
the friends of reform throughout the
entire country must work together. A
democratic paper of national scope of
fers the best means for carrying on this
work, and The Commoner occupies this
field. The campaign of education and
organization which Mr.. Bryan an
nounces will be carried on through The
Commoner will not only be interesting
and instructive, but every democrat and
independent thinker should receive The
Commoner regularly, so as to keep in
touch with the progress the reform
I forces are making, and to fortify him
self with facts and arguments to N
vince his republican neighbor that the
democratic party offers the surest relief
from class legislation and trust domin-
alton.
The low rate which Mr.. Bryan has
quoted us OH his paper enables us Ia
send you The Commoner and Opelousas
COURIER both one year for 1926. Get
your neighhnIs to join You in ci,culat-
ing democratic literature, and the cleo
ton returns ia 1908 will not call foi
apologies or explanations.
