City Man and Farm.

The average city man who
goes home at night so tired that
he just cannot rake up the dead
leaves in the front yard, is al
ways yearning to get out on a
farm. He crawls YEARLY out of
bed about $50 in the morning,
and before he starts for the
Office or store he yawns and
wishes be were on a farm. But
if he had to get up at $50 in
the morning be couldn't do it,
and if he had to milk 'steen
cows, carry feed to forty hogs,
split three armsfull of wood and
carry it to the house and doctor
a sick horse after working four
teen hours a day in the field,
he'd naturally curl up and croak.
1t is awfully easy to sit at an
Office desk and run a half section

Consumption is IA Germ Dis
ease. How Can it Start
With Il Cold?

This is reasonable question
and one that must arise to the
mind of almost everyone when
the claim is made that consump-
ton starts with a cold. The
cold simply prepares the sys.
tenn for the reception and de-
velopment of germs of that dis,
ease, that would not otherwise
have found Judgement. 1t is
the same with diptheria, scarlet
fever and measles. They are
most likely to be contracted
when the child has a cold. That
is why a cold should never be
neglected. The longer it hangs
on the greater the danger. AS
a quick cure for colds Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy can al,
ways be relied upon. Its re-
marka BILE cures have won for it
world wide reputation and an
immense sale. 1t is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by
