Are You Afraid?
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
A friend informs me that he has been
asked several times in tones of ridi cule
"are YOU afraid of it?" referring to the
yellow fever.
That question bespeaks a spirit of
bravadO which displays very bad taste in
making light of very serious matter.
Yes, am afraid and believe am not the
only one l was afraid of the tooth ache
when | had natural teeth, but now when
i have none | have become brave and
defy it like those fnterrogating' fellows
are regarding the yellow fever. l cannot
imagine why any good citizen is not
afraid Of it; a fool may not be, but il not.
1t Is because he ia unable to comprehend
the danger and the consequences result
ing from its presence among us. Would
1t be lack'Of bravery if one should be
afraid to go out Oh the highway wholly
defenseless when he knew an enemy to
mankind lurked abroad awaiting a
chance to attack him? or would it be
cOwardice TO take measures to avoid
meeting that enemyp IL robbers aud
murderers infested our town would it
be bravery in leaving our doors unlock
ed? or would it be cowardice in locking
the doors and barring the windows and
taking every precautiOn to keep them
from doing harm2 Would it not be 'cri-
minal negligence not to adopt every
means within our reach for self f-protec-

RECORDS COMPARED.


/ voted, as a member of Congress, to
abolish the sale of liquor at National
Capitol, where it was openly sold
in large quantities. Mr.. Cox voted
against it's sale at the State Capitol,
where, if sold at all, was without
license in plain violation of laws al
ready existing.
Mr.. Cox voted to prevent the sale Of
liquor within two miles of National
Soldiers Home, and this legislation
was also unnecessary, for if thus sold,
| it was without license and in violation
of the four mile law. From this, il
would seem that Mr.. Cox was willing
to vote for temperance when his vote

been protection to the people of the
towns who we're demanding the passage
of the bills.
I voted for the Hepburn-Dolliver bill

was Democratic measure, and gave

shippers from taking advantage Of the
Interstate Commerce law, and to sell
liquors in towns where their sale was
prevented by the laws Of the State.

A Judicious Inquiry.

A we'll known travelling man who Wis
its the drug trade says he has often
heard druggists inquire Of customers
who asked for cough medicine wheth-
er it was wanted for child or an adult
and if for child they almost invariably
recommend Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. The reason for this is that they
know there is no danger from it and
that it always cures. There is not the
least danger in giving it, and for
coughs, colds and Group it is unsur-
passed. For sale by H. G. Miller.
