cough syrup should have been advanced long
before it was. 1t seems the only rational
remedy for Coughs and Colds would be to
move the bowels and clean the mucous MEM

time. Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar

The national government at Washington
is thoroughly awake to the magnitude of the

for national work in stamping out this pest
carry appropriations of $25O,000 and Secre-

committee on agriculture, that it is utterly
useless to appropriate less. Economists in

down to $65,000 but the senate will prob

SAFEGUARDS OF HUMAN SOCIETY

From time to time violent outbreaks
against high public officials will occur
with more frequency than In the past,
but human society can never be per
mamentlv overthrown by any class Of
rCvolutionists. It Is anchored in two
basic principles One of these is the
necessity for public and individual safe
ty. which can only be accomplished by
the cooperation of the vast masses of
the people against all who would at
tempt their destruction. The other safe
guard is the tenacity with which all
who possess any will cling TO their
