The National Law now re- quires that if any poisons enter into a cough mixture, it must be printed on the label or package. For this reason mothers and others should insist on having pr Shoop's Cough Cure. No poison marks on pr ShOop's labels and none in the medicine, else it must by law be on the label. And it's not only safe, but it is said to be by those who know it best, truly remarkable cough remedy. Take no chance. par. ticularly with your children.

skins. Being unwilling TO wait he
fogcihly entered and left his pack. but
nothing with IT to indicate his identi-
ty Then he retired, fastening The
door as best he could aud not until
a .-car later did he return
When he walked into the post and
told his story, the price OF the skins
was handed over to him without
question. The accounts of the white
man had been carefully kept, and he
was certain that no claim but a Just
one would be made
