Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Best Made

I'm my opinion Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy is the best made for
colds" says Mrs. Cora Walker of Por-
terville, California. There is no doubt
about its being the best. No other
will cure cold so quickly. No other
is so sure preventive of pneumonia.
No other is so pleasant and safe to
take. These are good reasons why it
should be perferred to any other, The
fact is that few people are satisfied
with any other after having once used
this remedy. For sale by John E.

DRINKING AMONG WOMEN.
a Dinner Party at a Fashionable Hotel
and What II indicates.

Upon her return to New York from
European trip, wealthy American
woman gave a dinner st a fashionable
hotel to party of women friends.
Twenty-one sat down to an elab-
orately gaTnlshed board in a private
apartment The hostess. whose hus.
band is a well-known merchant, sat at
the head OF the table.
Waiter she said, st want YOU
TO open wine and keep these glasses
full"
Il should think you'd start 1t with a
cocktail commented an eastern
woman. mother Of two childreu.
Il don't know why | should" re-
piled the hostess. Il have been drink
ing highballs and cocktails ever since
l got out OF bed at two O'Clock this
afternoon"
The party laughed.
Some had their way, however, and
cocktails were served first 70 them.
Others started with wine. Two wom-
en- sat at the table who did not drink.
Twenty quarts OF champagne were
opened and consumed by 20 women
between eight o'clock In the evening
and one o'clock the next morning.
We will not mention the highballs
and cocktails.
The hostess OF this delightful en-
tertainment was too drunk at midnight
to hold her head up. Three women
were overcome TO such an extent that
they could not leave the apartment
until the following day.
This occurred among highly respect
ed women in a highly respectable
hotel.
Ii is doubtless true that the use OF
intoxicants by women is on the in
crease. Women now drink in public
places with men. and the same heavy
liquors.
The fends Of hell never contrived a
worse plot against humanity. True
motherhood and even polite" drunk
enness cannot be confused. Once in
n while a man finds Il possible to keep
a fortune Intact and be known as a
successful man and still drink. More
often he fails In such an attempt. But
no woman can accomplish the greatest
function Of her sex, replenishing the
earth and rearing her children In an
atmosphere OF sweet purity. with faint

north and remained in a New York
prison till the close Of the war While
a prisoner he was ordered by colonel
named Sanford to open a gate. He
started TO his task when tho officer
told him 20 run.
Finding that he moved no faster at
the command the officer advanced ard
began to fog him. At this Pittman
demonstrated and told the officer un-
less he desisted he would kill him.
The officer said: You have no weap-

had little hope OF finding, as he had
