When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have a
cold should be to relieve the lungs.
This is best accomplished by the
free use of Chamberlain's Cough Re
medy. This remedy liquefies the tough
and causes its expulsion from
the air cells of the lungs, produces
a free expectoration, and opens the
secretions. A complete cure soon fol
lows. This remedy will cure a severe
cold in less time thar any other treat
ment and it leaves the system in a
natural and healthy condition. 1t
c~ounteracts any tendency toward
pneumonia. For sale by all druggists.

observatIon Car. Tor Women.

'Rah for the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway. 1t has advanc-
I'D at one leap. fifty years to the
lead, by putting on observation cars
which have compartments for wo-
men.
Ordinarily a woman is pretty much
of an intruder in an observation car
when she has the nerve to fight her
way through the tobacco smoke and
timidly pick out a seat which isn't
occupied by the feet of some imper-
ial male being.
There is no doubt about it, the
most effective answer to the man
who claims America to be a paradise
for chivalry would be to dress him
up as a woman and make him spend
two days in an American railway
coach. The custom of providing
1Ox1O compartments for men 10
smoke in and AKA closets for women
to dress in, three at a time, is a reg
ular air-brake on the progress of civ
ilization.

Theories and Yellow Jack.

The panic in the south over the yel-
low fever epidemic at New Orleans
and the shutting off of that city from
intercourse with the rest of the stats
in the face of strong opposition from
the local health board, illustrates tho
extreme slowness with which new
ideas filter down to the public. There
Is very general. and In fact justffabie,
feeling among the laity that medicine
Is not an exact science; but In the case
Of few diseases the physician can pc
reasonably positive, because these DIS
eases have been taken into the labora-
tory and studied in q scientific way.
Yellow fever is in this category Al
though the germ which produces yei-
low fever has not been identified. pref
ty conclusive proof Is at hand that Il
Is caused by mosquito bites and not by.
contact or vomites. Major Walter
Reed, who gave his life to the elucida-
ton of the yellow fever problem,
showed by his experiments at Camp
Lazear in Cuba that neither nursing
a yellow fever sufferer nor even Sleep
ing In the unwashed bedclothes from q
fatal case was competent to cause the
disease. A number of men, not i'm
mune, did these things for weeks at q
time, and when protected from mos
qultoes never contracted yellow Jack.
The same men when subsequently sub
Jected to the bites Of mosquitoes pas
tered on yellow fever patients, regular
ly contracted the disease. This ex-
pertinent was repeated on half a dozen
or more nonimmune men, and the re-
suit was so uniform as to leave but
one possible conclusion; namely, that
mere contact with yellow fever 10 not
dangerous. They also furnish strong
presiimptive evidence that the mcsqui.

usual. If not the only. method of In
