HOW OUR GOOD OLD GRAND
MOTHERS CURED COUGHS AND
COLDS.

Our grandmOthers had the right idea:
when any one had a cough or cold on
the lungs il their day. the good old goose
grease and turpentine were trotted out
and the chest was plastered good and
thick and piece Of flannel was put
on; then a tea was made Of flaxseed with
addition of sugar, iicOrice and lemon
Juice-pretty good STUFF, too Why? Be
cause the principle was all right
the writer was talking to one Of the
leading local druggists about this the
other day and remarked that they didn't
DO thlngS Ike they used 10.
The druggist remarked that there was
one firm that had started on the right
track and had brought the good old prin-
ciples of our grandmOthers down 70 date
He then went and brought out a PACK
age Of the BROMO COUGH REMEDY.
and showed the writer. Upon opening the
package the writer found a BROMO
COUGH PLASTER AND q bottle OF
COUGH MIXTURE. The druggist ex-
planned that the plaster was to put on
the chest tc relieve the congestion on
the lungs that usually accompanied
coughs and colds. This loOsened up the
cough. just like the goose grease
did. making it easy for the cough mix
ture to do it's work
The writer thought this a pretty clever
idea, and certainly most practical one.
incidentally the druggist remarked that
the whole package only cost 80 cents, so
you really get the plaster free.

Jamaicans Ashamed.
His letter to Rear Admiral Davis was
production of which he ought to be
ashamed and of which the Jamaicans are
ashamed. The United States is a friendly
nation: their bone is British bone and
their flesh is British flesh, and no one
but a blinded bigOt would have refused
to admit American landing parties.
The men from the American warships
did magnificent work in removing the
debris and recovering bodies, and the
naval surgeons performed an equally
splendid service. The action of the gov
ernor was absolutely reprehensible We

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 GIVES AN OPINION
EXPRESSION UPON SOUTHERN RAILWAY CASE IS WIRED IN ANSWER TO THE NEW YORK WORLDS QUESTION:.

Montgomery August Especial )-The following explains itself
 New York, August g, 1907 Attorney General, Montgomery:
 The World would greatly appreciate a dispatch from you concerning the victory of the state over the Southern railway. As this is our request, statement should be sent at our expense WORLD. The World, New York City, N. Y.:
 It is my opinion that the action of the Southern Railway company in agreeing to comply with the laws of Alabama with respect to passenger and. freight rates is both wise and commendable, and the policy of this company should be fol- lowed by all public service corporations Laws enacted by the legislature of sov- ereign state should be obeyed by corpora tions as well as by individuals, until such laws are judicially determined to be un- constitutional or otherwise invalid
 The attitude of the railroads of the south, as evidenced by their course re- gently in this respect in North Carolina, Virginia and Alabama, will go far to- wards securing reasonable rate regulation by the legislatures of the several states.

Philadelphia, August 9.-A building containing the laundry and lighting and heating plant of the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane, in West Phil adelphia, one of the largest private institutions in the country, was de- stroyed by fire this afternoon.

Small Expresses Opinion.

Oakland, Cal, August 9.-S. J. Small, national president of the Commercial Photographers union, was here this aft ernoon and submitted to a brief inter- view.
 "The sub ject," he said, "is too del cate to discuss. The San Francisco of flcers of the company are responsible for what has happened. The latter have not lived up to the agreement adopted two weeks ago. When an investigation Is made, something extremely sensa- tional will come out.
 The strike is spreading. We have advices that 2O00 operators in Los in geles Chicago, Helena, Cleveland, Cin cinnati, Salt Lake, Kansas City, New Orleans. Denver and Butte are out.
 oakland operators want to go out but we are holding them back. We expect, however. that the wh ole trouble will be settled in two or three days.
 President Clowry of the Western Union Telegraph company will be call- ed upon within the next twenty-four hours an dmay settle it at once. l can not say anything about our demands, for everything is in chaotic condi- tion."

 It also reverses the decision of the su- perior court of Fulton county, from which appeal was taken.
