 If a cough once gets into your system it acts on every muscle and fibre of the body and makes you ache all over. It es- pecially affects the intestines and makes you constipated, so in order to get rid of a cold thoroughly and without delay you should not take anything that will tend to constipate.

cash. Mrs. Read insists she didn't
follow the Madame's ORDERS which
were to get cash or kill the woman
and daughter before she got an arms

ment is afoot to invite hundred rep
resentatives of American newspapers
% study the conditions in Japan. A
slan has already been formulated
which the emperor approves. He
said:
I'VE people of Japan regard Amer

pers give the people all the news,
and mould their opinions. Count
okuma, President Osano, and Presi-
dent Usen, of the two steam boat
lines, think as do many of our prom

only knew the conditions in Japan,
and see just how the two countries in
terests are cohesive there would be lit
lie chance of lingo news war to
creep into the columns of the papers.
Those men edit-they would know.
Now they don't When our Emperor
sent personal message to the pres.
dent-one OF peace from the people
Of Japan, the majority whom hold the
Emperor descendent of God, and
therefore can't make mistake, said !:
Great is America. We must have
peace They echoed the Mikado's
thoughts. It's a religion there to re-
gard the Mikado as a God. His mes
sage has insured peace" When ask
ed who would win in a war, the doc.
tor colsed his eyes and smiled and
said Japan would be poor after a
war, but you would practically be
unprotected here. Japan could
take Frisco and pour into Cali
iornia We wouudl have no need OF
provision. There is fruit here, tc
feed the army. A struggle might last
years, but it would be in Frisco that
Japan could mobilize an army thai
