CHISE[ ON NUDE
STATUES MAKES THE
BLUSH UNNECESSARY
Problem Confronting Modes,
Carnegie Millionaire Trustees
Is Finally Solved.

Pittsburg. Pa. May 1.-The moral
s~ensibilities OF the modest millionaire
trustees of the Carnegie institute have
been horribly lacerated by their fond
ness for art.
When Andrew Carnegie decided to
build a $40. 900. 900 institute. he declared
1t would have to include "A hall OF
statuary,' which would be the real
thing.
Not Even a Smile.
When the replicas arrived the
troublc started. About half the figures
wore only a laurel wreath about their
heads and even the usual smile was
missing. But the contractors had pro-
duced perfec. replicas of the original
statuary. After the trustees had re-
vived from their first shock some OF
them suggested that bath robes be pro-
vided for the statuary. as it would
never do to permit the public to see
the awful n%akedness of the figures.
Someone then evolved IL brilliant
scheme. Local sculptors were hurriedly
summoned. and for the next two days
the ring of chisels rang aloud in the
hall of %statuary.
When the task was completed all the
Objectionable parts had been removed
from the figures. and there was II two
bushel basket full of refuse in n cor
ner of the hall.

But time Is bound to give II to her.

why Cold. Are Dangerous.


Because you have contracted ordin-
airy colds and recovered from them
without treatment Of any kind, do not
for a moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows th1t
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in a common cold. Con-
sumption is not cause by a cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development Of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment. 1t is the anne with
all infectious diseases. Diptheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con
tracted when the child has a cold. You
will see from this that more real dan
ger turks in a cold than in any other
Of the common ailments. The easiest
aud quickest way to r a cold is to
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The many remarkable cures effected
by this preparation have made 1t Il
