Good Cough Medicine ror Children

The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re-
lance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried it are willing to
use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher,
of Ripley, w. Va, says: 81 have
never used anything other than Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, for my chill
dren and it has always given good
satisfaction" This remedy contains
no opium or other narcotic and may
be given as confidently to a child as
to an adult. For sale by Hays &
Field and Yellow Pine Pharmacy.

LITTLE ROOSEVELTS
WILL HANG STOCKINGS
And They Expect Santa Claus to Bring
Them a Whole Lot ct Nice Things.
Will Receive Many Gifts in "study
Room"
Hearst News Service.

Washington, Dec. 21.-In accord
ance with custom, the children of the
president will have no Christmas tree.
This has been the rule of former sea
sons as well as now In fact. there
has not been a Christmas tree in the
White House since the Cleveland adj
ministraton, when the little daughters
of that president and their friends
always made merry in the library on
Christmas afternoon.
The first thing the Roosevelt chill
dren will do on Christmas morning
will be to examine the well-crammed
stockings which Santa Claus has tied
to corner post of each little bed. It
Will be an interesting and even excit-
'rS ceremony.
The inspection of stockings. how
ever, will be merely Introductory to
the pleasures of the day. After break
fast the impatient youngsters will be
allowed to enter the study" upstairs,
where the gifts are laid out. One cor
ner of the Study" will be set apart
fol the gifts provided for each of the
icuI younger children.
Many of the gifts that reach the
White House at Christmas time are
for the children, and some of them
are very funny 1t has come to be
understood among the people at large
that the Roosevelts aye a strenuous
family, much given to\athletic exer-
cises, and undoubtedly a considerable
percentage of the presents sent by
strangers this year will be in the line
of football outfits, punching bags ans
gymnasium apparatus.
AS matter of fact, nearly all of the
gifts thus sent to the Roosevelt young
sters find their way to the childrens
hospital in Washington. They are al
together superfluous. Few young
folks in all the land are so well sup
piled with TOYS and other Christmas
presents as the presidents offspring,
and Mrs, Roosevelt, a few days be-
for the holiday arrives, visits the
Washington shops for the purpose of
laying in a supply of playthings and
articles of more serious usefulness.
The Roosevelts will have their
Christmas dinner at ian N ~, ond
only members of the family will be
present. It is almost the only meal
of the year at the White House to
which, under the present administra-
ton, no guests arei invited 1t will be
eaten in the private dining-room,
which is not too big for a household
of the presidents, and the prin-
cipal dish will be huge turkey.

Reassuring
News From
Mountain View

Good reports, speaking for the values
of the Mountain View district continue,
and each one better than the last. 1t
was but this week that ore was encoun-
tered on the Lucky 3 lease, owned by
Adams, Birmingham and Gaffney, from
which good paintings of free gold can
be had anywhere on the ledge. The
find was made at the face of 10-foot
drift which has been driven south from
the bottom of the 6S-foot shaft. The ore
is honeycombed, and from the results
of the paintings it is judged to be high
grade, running probably from 500 to
$500 per ton. The ledge is feet wide
and we'll defined The owners of the
lease are greatly encouraged over their
find.
Plummer and Gaffney have been work
ing in gh-grade for some time past
and now are preparing to sack ore.
AS development work continues on the
Shirley c., things look more encouraging.
