Do Not Suppress a Cough

When you have cough do not try to
suppress it. but remove the cause. The
cough is only symptom of some dis
sease, and the disease Is what you should
cure. then the cough will stop itself. The
most common cause for coughing is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress
the cough, and preparations containing
chloroform, opium, ETC., are used for
that purpose. but they do not cure the
cold. Chamberlain Cough Remedy on
the other hand does not suppress the
cough, but relieves it by removing from
the throat and lungs the mucus which
obstructed The breathing and allaying
the irritation and the tickling in the
throat. Ii also opens the secretions and
effectually and permanently cures the
cold as well as the cough. For sale by

thorities TO consider the question of
municipal ownership of both light

The city. by a properly conducted
system of lighting, could, at reason
able profit, increase its public school
facilities, of which il stands greatly
in need, improve the condition of its
streets, besides furnishing 1.-THE people
with light at q much less cost than one
dollar and seventy five cents per thous-
and feet. While the price seems ex-
brilliant, the arrogant treatment of
the consumer by the gas company in
many instances, has driven the people
TO the use of lamps.
This arbitrary conduct on the part
of the gas company is due entirely to
the fact that they have DO opposition.
A case in point: | had a meter liz any
house, into which q 25-cent piece
could be dropped, then quarter Is

Two, sometimes three. burners were
in use, until about 10 O'Clock, when
the supply of gas would be exhausted.
l notified the company. they sent an
employee. who, after an examination,
informed me that the meter leaked,
and that was the loser, as the leak
age was on my side. again wrote
the company that the service was I'M
satisfactory, and requested the re-
moval of the quarter-in- the-slot and
the substitution of the regular meter.
They informed me that they did not
care to make the change, that it was
