For years pr Shoop has fought against the use of Opium, Chloroform, or oth- CT unsafe ingredients commonly found in Cough remedies. Dr Shoop, it seems, has welcomed the Pure Food and Drug Law recently enacted, for he has worked along similar lines many years. Fof nearly 20 years pr Shoop's Cough Cure containers have had warning printed on them against Opium and other narcotic poisons.

I we'll re- member your father, Rev Fl. B. Smith, and have good picture of him taken about 1871. l think I have met your brother, Rev 0. Fl. Smith, grand chap lain of the Odd Fellows, many times. Greenfield Hill holds many pleasant memories of my younger days. I went there to Sherwood Banks, and staid there until l was married, nearly six years altogether. I lived in Greenfield and Greens Farms 12 years: was a member of your fathers church; joined under him.. I was there the last Sun- day in December, 1906. They have covered the ceiling and side walls with metal and painted all the church, spending LOGO. It looks nice, but 1 find but very few there now who were there ins years gone by, from 1870 to 1883, when I moved from the Farms up here. But I do like to, and do, go there once or twice a year. Last year I went four times, but this is not just what l took up my pen for. But thought 1 would write these memories of olden times to me, perhaps not to you boys. I often think of the good times I have had in old Greenfield. l have always taken THE BEE to keep posted on things that way and others.
