Text Book War On.

Des Moines, Nov. 20.-Thirty-five
counties of this state will adopt the
kind of text books they will use for
the next five years, beginning the first
of next year. For this reason there is
a deluge of book agents to look after
the contracts. The profits on the five
year contracts for the thirty-fve coun.
ties is estimated by school men to be
about 100000. The war will be on
during the session of the legislature
and if it becomes as hot as it was
some years ago there is apprehension
that the legislature may take up the
proposition to adopt uniform text
book law.

No Poison in ChamberIain's Cough
Remedy.

From Napier New Zealand, Herald:
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of
New South Wales, Australia, had an
analysis made of all the cough medi-
cines that were sold in that market.
Out of the entire list they found only
one that they declared was entirely
free from all poisons. This exception
was Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
made by the Chamberlain's Medicine
Company, Des Moines, Iowa, U. s. A.
The absence of all narcotics makes
this remedy the safest and best that
can be had; and it is with feeling of
security that any mother can give it
to her little ones. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is especially recon-
mended by its makers for coughs,
colds, Group and whooping cough.
This remedy is for sale by Nick Dof.
