DO Not Suppress a Cough.

When you have cough do not
try to suppress it, but remove the
cause. The cough is only a svmp-
tom of some disease, and the disease
IS what YOU should cure, then the
cough will stop of itself. The most
common cause OF coughing is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly
suppress the cough. and prepara-
tions containing chloroform, opium
etc., are used for that purpose, but
they do not cure the cold. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy on the
other hand does not suppress the
cough, but relieves it by removing
from the throat and lungs the mu-
Gus which obstructed the breathing
and allaying the irritation and tick
ling in the throat. 1t also opens
the secretions and effectuallv and
permanently cures the cold as we'll
as the cough. For sale by all drug
gists.

Market Lake, Jan. 80. Last
Saturday occurred the fifth annual
rabbit drive at Market Lake. ST.
Anthony was represented by the
following gentlemen: Walter Mos
ier, Judge King, John d. G. Kru-
ger and DR.. M. M. Harshbarger.
Some of the rabbits of Market
Lake, having been in so many
annual drives, seriously object to
being cornered and slain.
For that reason only 600 or 800
were killed, while it seemed to one
in his first rabbit drive that S,OOO,-
600 or 100000 escaped. Differ
ent individuals made claims as to
having killed the largest number.
Water Mosier having welded
club until he fell unconscious from
ex haustion. DR.. Harshbarger wore
out an armful of clubs before the
finish. Judge King had several
scores of rabbits to his credit and
would have killed more but was
afraid his friends wouldn't believe
the number he had already killed.
The hero of the occasion, however,
by far, was Mr.. Kruger. He stopped
at Rigby and drove across arriving
just in time for the start. It was re-
marked while en- route for the start
that he was remarkably enthusiast
tic, jumping out Of the wagon sew
eral times and killing rabbits before
they could get under Roadway.
During the excitement Of the drive
We lost sight Of Mr.. Kruger and it
was only at the final slaughter that
he again demonstrated his remark
able ability as rabbit exterminator
He was finally located in corner
OF the yard surrounded by circle
of dead rabbits eight or ten deep.
Several natives were lying about
also, having been mistaken by Mr..
Kruger for unusually large speci-
mems of jack rabbits. From the
manner of the blows he struck it
was plain that Mr.. Kruger saw as
many rabbits in the air as on the
ground and while he makes claim
to having killed nearly thousand,
many more than escaped. After the
slaughter everyone came home
covered with mud and glory and
voting the affair success.

We hope this cold wave will help
to stop the spread of disease.
Warm winter tends to dampness
and probably to some extent to
Discrimination to vigorous action.
There are two kinds of natures, the
effective and the receptive. The
former is inclined to give impress
sions, while the latter is inclined
to receive impressions from every
source. The former is less liable
to sickness from what are termed
natural causes or from contagion.
Mr.. Holcomb Of New Orleans says
that ''all contagious diseases are
spread through thought transfer
ence," which we doubt not is very
true hence the liability of the one
nature to catch a disease from an
other, and if the above be true the
other nature the effective. would of
necessity include the spread of
contagion more than the receptive
nature.
