No Money in Making War.

of old there was mistaken impres

the spoils of war; but few persons
harbor that delusion to-day. 1t is now
clearly understood that war means a

ing by leaps and bounds, the practical
sense of mankind holds strife at arms
in increasing adherence. The wealth

by selling goods than by stealing them

Startling But True.

People the world over were Mortified
on learning Of the burning Of a Chicago
theater in which nearly six hundred
people lost their lives, yet more than
five times this number or oyer 5000
people died from pneumonia in Chicago
during the same year, with scarcely a
passing notice. Every one of these
cases Of pneumonia resulted from a
cold and could have been prevented by
the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. A great many who had every
reason to fear pneumonia have warded
it off by the prompt use of this remedy.
The following is an instance of this
sort: "Too much cannot be said in
favor of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,

that Miss Mildred Lee, the youngest
child Of our immortal chieftain. Rob-

"Gifted by nature with a wonderful
mind, the liberal education which her
idolized father gave her, improved
and broadened by extensive travel
and close observation, set her apart
as an ideal representative Of the wo-
manhood of the south, and her queen
ly and courteous bearing called for
the admiration of all who were so for
tunatte as to know her. She was de-
voted to the old soldiers of the Con-
federate armies, and was never so
happv as when in conversation with
one of them, or talking to others OF
the glorious deeds of our boys. Her
untimely death is a distinct loss to
the whole south, and an extreme grief
