Be as careful as you can you will oc-
casionally take cold, and when you do,
get a medicine of known reliability. one
that has an established reputation and
that is certain to effect quick cure.
Such medicine is Chamberlain IS Cough
Remedy. II has gained world wide
reputation by its remarkable cures of
this most common ailment, and can al
ways be depended upon. 1t acts on
natures plan, relieves the lungs. aids
expectoration, opens the secretions and
aids nature in restoring the system to a
healthy condition. During the many
years in which it has been in general
use we have yet tc learn of single
case of cold or attack of the grip having
resulted in pneumonia when this remedy
was used, which shows conclusively
that it is certain preventative of that
dangerous disease. Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy contains no opium or
other narcotic and may be given as con-
fidently to baby as to an adult. For

Now II Is CObIeSS Corn.

Bloomington, ILL.,, Nov. "a. And now
it is the cobless corn. A year ago II.
J. Sconce and Taylor Garlough, Of Yer
million County, purchased aquantity of
seed corn in Indiana. In the shipment
was fresh ear, which instead of the
ordinary cob. had core of husk. the
grains being neatly wrapped on the
soft foundation like peas in a pod. Mr..
Sconce was impressed with the novelty
of the find and decided to plant all the
kernels he found on the freak ear.
To his surprise the ears produced this
fall were found to be exact reproduc-
tions Of the single ear. He has decided
to plant more of the corn next year,
and will endeavor to improve it. He
believes there is more to it than freak
ishness.
The ears produced this year yielded
as much corn as those provided with
cobs, while the kernels were large and
solid. The ears were well filled. The
freak ears were placed on exhibition at
county fair at Sidell last week and
attracted much attention among the
farmers, who are greatly interested in
the experiment.
