DO Nor suppress a ough.

When you have cough do not try to
suppress it, but remove the cause; The
cough is only a symptom ofsome 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, aud preparations containing
chloroform, opium, etc, are used Tor
that purpose. but they do not cure the
cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on
the other hand does not suppress The
cough, but relieves il by removing from
the throat and lungs the mucus which
obstructed the breathing and allaying
the irritation and tickling in the throat.
1t also opens the secretions aud eiiec'
tually and permanently cures the cold as
we'll as the cough. For sale by Gibson

ritory into one state. This he did q
few days ago to a delegation OF prom.

that had called upon him 70 ascertain

ed In that direction and this. virtually

Concerning New Mexico and Ariz-
ona. Washington reports say. that the
president has intimated that he fav-
ored leaving these two territories In
a territorial condition 70 several years
longer. This means that there Is no
hope for joint statehood In the 59th
congress. There is also no hope for
single statehood. as II now looks. IN.

together and ask for the passage of
an enabling act. admitting the Terri

GOLD PRODUCTS.

The United States still remains In
third place as a producer of gold. In
1894 1t produced $50, 723, 200 against
s74,425,00 in 1908. and $50 900, 900 in
1902. South Africa came secon with
SS5.013. 900 against SGT, oo0, 900 In 1903:
while Australia led the procession
with sS7,1G7. 800. Fourth place was
held by Russia with 1924, 500 900, Can
ada producing only SIG 400. 900 and
Mexico $4,000 900. Except India, no
other country produced more than
$4,000, 900. These seven countries, in
short, account for $500, 00O, 900 of the
$3i7, 900, 900 of gold produced, This
Is the usual experience. II Is not I'M
probable. however, that within a
generation discoveries Of new fields.
Hike that Of the Rand only about a
decade ago. will bring some new re.
gion, say In South America or China,
into the list Of heavy producers, while
some fields elsewhere may show ex-
haustion. In the United States and
South Africa the tendency of produc.
ton is to Increase; but In Az tralla
there are symptoms Of a decline, so
that II Is fair to SURPRISE that that land
will be the first OF the present heavy
producers to disappear. Prophecy.
however. Is a dangerous business, es-
pecially In this particular sphere.

Much has been said by the press OF
late OF the beautiful hymn, Lead,
Kindly Light that has since the day
II was written by Cardinal Newman,
appealed SO strongly to the public
heart. or course everyone has n right
10 his opinion as to the value Of the
hymn. No one, however, can question
It's beauty and appealing pathos. That
Il will ever be omitted from any large
collection Of Christian hymns, as some
well-meaning clergymen advocate, Is
extremely improbable.
But beautiful. appealing ms the
poem Is, II has always Impressed Us
that the sentiment Is too doubling,
almost despairing, eve TO inspire any
seeker after truth to any considerable
measure OF faith and hope. There
may be some value In honest doubt,
but there Is surely more In firm and
abiding faith. Lead, Kindly Light
Is a hymn that we can read times
without number and each time gather
some new beauty. II may be argued
that this Is the best evidence in the
world OF the truth OF the lesson II
teaches.
But do not some OF the poems OF
pagan writer's. whose teachings the
evidence Of ages have proven false,
also hold us under the spell OF their
beauty and charm? Truth and beauty
are MOI inseparable.
We would like to feel that we were
mistaken about our conception OF the
poem In question. We have never
heard It's merits called into question
until the discussion was begun in the
press a short time ago. yet from the
tlmo we first read the hymn as d
child we could not. dispel the lin.
preston that It spoke Of doubt and
fear and gloom and unhappiness,
which ought not to be a part of The
equipment Of the seeker after truth
and righteousness.
The gloom Is gathering thicker
about the writer. he does not see his
way, he does not feel confidence in
reaching his hoped for destination.
Fens. and Dogs and wilderness are all
around but he has a weak and fa!ter-
ing hope that a light which he sees In
the distance, and which he apparently
distrnsts, may lead into safety.
But who can say, ever though this
conception of the poem ma be lust.
that, while It has no inspiration for
the strong OF faith and the happy and
hopeful, that 1t has not brought and
VIII not bring solace and comfort
and high resolve to thousands who
have been almost overwhelmed In tho
hard struggle with the yfcissitudes of
; fate?
VINO can question that tbous-
ands who nave strayed into dark and
: dangerous places, have been inspired
by the poem to follow, doubtfully and
haltingly at first. the nearly obscured
light that finally leads them into noon
/ day effulgence?
nat the poem has It's valuable mis-.
sion and It's message and 1t will live.
It not to be doubted.
