soon start on the Warrington end
and viii work this way, while anoth-

An officer Of the company told the
West Virginia today that the route
frcm Barracksylllc to Fairmont has
not been decided upon. There are
three routes that are being consider
ed and each one has its advantages.
Besides the original survey to which
some hold as the best. the route down
Buffalo creek to Barnsyille has strong
supporters while others contend that
the line should be built on the county
road. The company has had trouble
with some of the property owners
Z along the line. While the company is
anxious to build the road It does not
/ feel that 1t should be obliged to fight
Tor its building. 1t wants to work in

Dangers ofa Cold and How to Avoid Them

More fatalities have their origin in
or result from a cold than from any
other cause. This fact alone should
make people mora careful as there is
no danger whatever from a cold
when it is properly treated in the be-
ginning. For many years Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has been recog-
nized as the prompt and efiectual
medicine in use for this disease. 1t
acts on natures plan, loosens the
cough, relives the lungs, opens the
sections and aids nature in restoring
the system to a healthy condition.

SO simple a cure can be readily
administered in any home, no matter
where situated. After returning from
Europe visited friends at the sea-
shore, whose little two-year-old
daughter suffered from a constitution
al weakness, which caused them deep
anxiety. After hearing my story and
obtaining the sanction of the family
physician, they instituted the practice
OF allowing her to run about, unclOth-
ed, up on the sandy beach every
pleasant day. AS the time-limit was
gradually increased from a few min
utes to as many hours, the pallid hue
of the little ones skin deepened to a
healthy tan, and the wasted, pitiful
frame began to fill out and assume the
exquisite contours which belong to
normal babyhood. So successful was
the treatment that it was continued
in sunny bay-window all winter;
and when 1 last visited little Betty,
early in April, she was as rosy-cheek
ed and sturdy a bit of humanity as
one could wish to see.
