You should always remember that most cough and cold cures are consti. pating. Yet the most important thing to do when you have 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 inflammation of the throat and lungs, and it drives the cold from the system by gently moving the bow els. Children like it for it tantes nearly as good as maple sugar. Sold by Pal. ace Pharmacy and United Drug Co.
 The old fashioned way of dosing a weak stomach, or stimulating the Heart or Kidneys is all wrong. Dr. Shoop first pointed out this error. This is why his prescription--Dr Shoep's Re. storative-is directed entirely to the cause of these ailments-the weak in, side or controlling nerves. It isn't no difficult, says Dr. Shoop, to strengthen weak Stomach, Heart or Kidneys. if one goes at it correctly. Each inside organ has its controlling or inside nerve. When these nerves fail, then those organs must surely falter. These vital truths are leading druggistn ev. erywhere to dispense and recommend Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Test it few days and seel Improvement will prompt ly and surely follow. Sold by Palace Pharmacy.

THE FOUR ARGUMENTS AGAINST
 PARCELS POST

A gift from the government of S15,- O00,0oO business year to the express companies will no doubt be cheerfully tolerated by the express companies as long as the public will stand for it
 In retiring from the postmaster gen eralship John wanamaker remarked that there were four arguments against a parcels post--the United States Ex- press company, the American Express company, the Adams Express company and the wells-Fargo Express company. No additional arguments have been presented in the years that have fol lowed, but these four still hold good.
 The announcement that this years deficit is the largest in the history of the postal service ought to stimulate some serious thought on this subject. Last years loss was about s1o,o00 900. This year it is $16,910, ,278.99.
 There are now in operation more than 39, 900 rural routes, serving a population of about 1s,000,o00 persons, and should an average of 55 pounds of merchandise be carried by the rural carrier on each trip throughout the year, it is estimated that s15,o000o0 would be realized This could be accomplished with little additional cost or labor to the rural car riers, whose carts now go comparatively empty.
 The farmer needs the service and the postofice department needs the income. Every postmaster generals report in dozen years has contained an urgent plea for authority to establish parcels service.
 The records of congress do not show why there has been no action--but com mon knowledge makes it clear. It is the influence of the express com panies, directed openly in the United States senate by the president of one company and in the house of represen- tatives by agents of all the others. If congress ever becomes really sin core in its war on monopoly, it can begin effective work by destroying this one, which not only deprives the people of long desired service, but robs the government of needed income.

THE PATH OF PEACE

A church, no matter where, prints on the back of its program of services these words:
 1T will not worry"
 1T will not be afraid.
 1T will not give way to anger.''
 1T will not yield to envy. jealousy or hatred.''
 ''I will be kind to every man, woman and child with whom come in con tact.''
 1T will be cheerful and hopeful 1T will trust in God and bravely face the future" Read them again. They arc worth while. Cut them out and paste or pin them up where you will see them often. About all there is in life worth striv- ing for is suggested in these few lines. Houses, lands, bonds, automobiles are fine possessions. But far more precious still to any man, in any station, are the treasures of the mind and soul Composure-- Courage Cheerfulness-- Tolerance Kindness Hope And faith in something higher than what the eyes see and the hands hold.
