It's a pleasure TO tellour readers about
a Cough Cure like Dr. Shoop's. For
years DR.. Shoop has fought against the
use OF Opium, Choloroform, or other un-
safe ingredients commonly found in
Cough remedies. Dr. Shoop, it seems, has
welcomed the Pure Food and Drug Law
recently enacted for be has worked along
similar lines many years. For nearly 20
years DR.. Shoop's Cough Cure containers
have had a warning printed on them
against Opium and other narcotic
poisons. He has thus made it possible
ior mothers to protect their children by
simply insisting on having DR.. Shoop's
Cough Cure. Sold by Goolrick's Modern

In Time Of Peace.

In the first months of the Russia-Japan
war we had striking example OF the
necessity for preparation and the early
advantage of those who, so to speak,
"haye shingled their roofs in dry
weather" The virtue OF preparation
has made history and given TO US our
greatest men. The Individuals well as
the nation should be prepared for any
emergency. Areyou prepared to success
fully combat the first cold you take? A
cold can be cured much more quickly
when treated as soon as it has been con
tracted and before it has become settled
in the system. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is famous for its cures OF colds
and it should he kept at hand ready for
instant use. For sale by NJ. NJ. Lewis

MY WINTER GIRL

My summer girl il fair to see,
In snowy white she pleases me
She looks so cool, so light and so free,
My summer girl.
Ny winter girl has such a charm,
She looks so breezy yet so warm,
Her ruddy cheeks the gales disarm,
Ny winter girl.
Which do think tie very best?
Which holds the first place in my breast
No need to put me to the test
They're both the same.

Alittle Cow Story.

That the impouuding ordinance

with just as religious exactitude as
are the saloon. and gambling laws
in Virginia was exemplified on
Monday afternoon when two CO we
entered the rear of a Chestnut street
grocery while the clerks were TAX
ing nature-fest by gazing out the
front door, and quietly proceeded
to help themselves to an amount of
green stuff and when discovered
were peacefully munching at the
apples in barrel near the center
of the store. Upon discovery the
pair made grab for one last apple
and went on their way rejoicing,
passing out the front door in a
happy frame of mind and mentally
blessing the protector of the poor
mans COW, whose laxity in munich
pal government permits of the
running at large of all such animals,
the disobedience of the liquor and
gambling laws OF the state and the
running of houses of ill.fame with
in sight of the school buildings in

would be entitled to be billed for

account was referred tor one week.

The delay of A. Y. Bane & Co. in
the construction of the proposed
steel bridge across the narrows
between Virginia and Silver lakes
was brought up and the clerk in
structed to wire the firm to either
commence work on same at once or
vacate contract. The contract
called for the completion of the
structure on August lat, and under
the contract and bond the city is
entitled in "soaking" them for, S.
per day for the delay, but it is i'm
probable that such action will be
taken. The present bridge across
the narrows is in a most dangerous
condition, and the delay puts the
city up against possible damage
