Best Treatment for Colds.

Most ordinary colds will yield to the
simplest treatment" says the Chicago
Tribune. moderate laxstives, hot foot
baths, free perspiration and an avoidance
of exposure to cold and wet after treat
ment." While this treatment is simple, II
requires considerable trouble, and the one
adopting 1t must remain indoors for a day
or two, or a fresh cold is almost sure to
be contracted. and in many instances
pneumonia follows. Is It not better to
pin your faith to an old reliable prepare
ton like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
that is famous for its cures of colds and
can always be depended upon? Then no
unusual precaution is necessary to avoid
contracting a fresh cold. 1t also coun-

State Superintendent McBrien announced
today that, after consultation with the at
torney general, he has decided that the two
county Observation-Disclosures who did not
have first-grade certificates on election day
cannot qualify. The names Of the persons
and the counties in which they received
a majority of the votes are withheld. but
he states that the counties are large and
have numerous teachers who would have
been qualified. He leans toward the theory
that the present incumbents, who are prop
erly qualified, will hold over until the next
election. He said that it is probable that
the minority candidates who were qualified
will claim the offices on the ground that
those who were without certificates had no
right to have their names submitted to the
electors.
Mr.. McBrien scouts the suggestion that
the new certification law is invalid because
It imposes conditions on candidates for

No Money for Surveys.

II now appears the resurvey OF thirty
two townships in Rock and Brown cOun-
ties Nebraska which the commissioner of
the general land office was authorized to
make under a bill Representative Kinkaid
put through last congress, must be post
poned until such time as congress makes
an appropriation to carry on the work.
The bill authorizing surveys in Rock and
Brown counties merely authorized the
commissioner of the general land office to
investigate whether such resurveys were
necessary and did not appropriate any
money to carry on the work provided II
was found necessary. The corner mark
ings in townships in these counties have
been found to be defective and a resurvey
must be made to establish the true lines.
Commissioner Richards, thinking that per-
haps he could squeeze out OF the general
fund money sufficient to make the neces-
sary surveys advertised for bids and
Messrs. Bates and Dobson were the sue
cessful bidders. Now it appears no money
can be paid out OF the general fund for
resurveys in Brown and Rock counties
and Messrs. Bates and Dobson will have to
wait until congress appropriates some
money before they can commence work
The cost of these resurveys will approx
mate $4,000
