You should always remember that most
cough and cold cures are .constipating,
Yet the most important thing to do when
you have a cold is to move the bowels.
You cannot promptly cure cold until
you do this. Kennedy's Laxative Cough
Syrup stops the cough by allaying in
hammation of the throat and lungs, and
1t drives the cold from the system by
gently moving the bowels. Children like

Postmaster General Meyer has
announced that the charges of
"pernicious political activity" pre-
ferred against Postmaster Sherman
G. Denham have been thoroughly
investigated and not sustained.
This is no surprise inasmuch as
Denham's activity consisted in
whooping up delegates for Taft
and applying the same actively
in electing Taft. There was not
postmaster in the state, according
to his ability, who was not just as
active as Denham. The federal
administration views such actiyi.
