BEST COUGH MEDICINE FOR chill
DREN.

When you buy a cough medicine for
small children you want one in which
you can place implicit confidence. You
want one that not only relieves but
cures. You want one that is unquestion-
ably harmless. You want one that Is
pleasant to take. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy meets all of these conditions.
There Is nothing so good for the coughs
and colds incident to childhood. 1t Is
also certain preventive and cure for

The election of Dunno, the Democratic
candidate for mayor of Chicago, means,
according to the issues of the campaign,
that the city will take immediate posses.
sion of the street railways and operate
them. The other candidate was also in
favor of municipal ownership, though
not in favor of proceeding SO rapidly to
accomplish it. As the street railroads
represent capitalization of about
$500, 900, 900, it is easy. to see that Chicago

II would be too bad to strike dis
cordant note amidst the harmony of the
presidents warm reception in the South !;
still, there is in the friendly comment of
southern newspapers an undertone of
suggestion that the president has had a
change of heart regarding the South's
most vital problems. The president is
privileged, like any other honest man,
to change his mind for good reasons;
but if the intimated change involves
anything different from square deal"
for every man, white or black, we don't
believe it has taken place.

As lar as reliable news is concerned,
the status of the naval operations be-
tween Japan and Russia at present
seems 10 be about the same as that of
all the military operations in the early
days of the war. That is, it is safe to
believe about one-tenth of what is re-
ported, after you know it is true. The
news service from the land operations
got down to basis of pretty good
accuracy before the armies got lost to
communication in northern Manchuria,
but the present news from the naval
operations is largely roorbacks.
