WHEN YOU HAVE A COLD.

The first action when you have cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This
Remedy liquefies the tough mucus and
causes its expulsion from the air cells Of
the lungs, produces free expectoration,
and opens the secretions. A complete
cure soon follows. This remedy will
cure . severe cold in less time than any
other treatment and It leaves the system
in q natural and healthy condition. It
counteracts any tendency toward pneu-
monia. For sale by Shurtleff & Co.,

Here and There.

One of the newspaper men at the state
house has discovered a movement to
adjourn the legislature till the first of
January, 1906, and then hold another
session. According to the discovery as
set forth by this scribe, the legislators
think it is too long wait between
sessions, and believe they could serve
the interests of the state better TO meet
yearly. To be sure, the state cOnstitu-
ton provides for biennial sessions, and
it would take some time to get to annual
sessions through an amendment, but the
purpose could be accomplished for the
present term by the legislature taking
the matter into it's own hands and adj
journing to next January. The only
hole in the plan is that no pay could be
drawn for the second session, but that
is a serious defect, if it can not be circum-
vented. Now most of the desire for
second session may be in the fertile
brain of the journalist. If any really
exists in the minds of the legislators,
they are pretty much alone in that re-
spect. The people of the state have
once defeated an attempt to return 10
annual sessions, and would probably
repeat the act by a large majority II
called upon. If the Legislators will dc
their work with reasonable degree OF
care and devotion to the public good
and adjourn by the 18th of March, they
may go home feeling that the state is
reasonably safe for the remainder of the
two years term.

The body of an Italian fruit vender

The body of an Italian fruit vender
named Alfonso Rumo was found in the
rear of a building on Fore Street, Port

wounds on the body which caused death,
and were evidently made by a razor
which was found near by. The affair is
being Investigated by the police. 1t is
involved in more or less mystery, but is
thought to be an act of revenge perpe-
trated by members of the Italian colony.

house not made with hands, eternal in
the heavens. IL Cor, v. !.
A house stands for permanency.
Just as every man hopes some day to
walk across the threshold and say,
"This Is my home; this Is the place
where we will abide; here Is our altar
and here the shrine Of all the sacred
things of the family" so does every
man also cherish In his breast the un-
spoken longing some day to pass from
the noisy, dusty, commerce laden
streets of this life and cross the
threshold into an abiding place. That
threshold we have come to call death,
and that abiding place. heaven. The
desert shepherd spoke Of his body as
tent and looked forward to dwelling
In a house; the classic heroes spoke
with Joy of the place where they
would meet again their fellow-war-
riors; the sorrowing mother thinks
every day Of a home where all her
children shall be gathered In to go out
no more.
Heaven may be neither in our geo.
graphy nor in our astronomy; but 1t
is in all our hearts. Unphilosophical
1t may be, but 1t is nevertheless a fact
that the thought of "the land that is
fairer than day" brings a thrill not
