How Colds Are Contracted and
Pr0ner Treatment.

An acute catarrh, that is cold, is always
the result Of undue exposure to low temper.
atures. The rapid cooling of the surface
when not balanced by proper reaction, pro.
duces congestion. and inflammation Of the
nasal and bronchial membranes Obviously
such an ailment is not communicable, in the
ordinary sense from one individual to an
other. AS the slightest "cold" predisposes
the individual to attacks of the most severe
and dangerous catarrhal affections, the ne
:essity for it's quick cure need not be enforced.
These facts emphasize the necessity of extra
precautionary measures against the ordinary
cold. Everyone cannot change his climate
at will, but may make the most of what he
has at home, viz, take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as soon as the first indication of the
cold appears. 1t not only cures cold quickly
but counteracts any tendency Of the cold to
result in pneumonia. This fact has been
fully proven during the epidemics of colds
and grip of the past few years. mo case of
either Of these diseases having resulted in
pneumonia when this remedy was used has
ever been reported to the manufacturers, and
thousands Of bottles of it are sold every day,
shich shows conclusively that it is not only
the best and quickest cure for colds, but Z
certain preventive Of that dangerous disease.

How to Save 50 on Cough Med
ieine by Making it at
Home.

Cough medicines, as a rule, are most
ly syrup. You can take pint of gran
ulated sugar, add half cup of waiter, stir
and let boil just a moment. This makes
a pint of syrup as good as you could
buy.
Get 81 ounces of Pinex, put in a
clean pint bottle and fill up with the
granula,ted sugar syrup. The granu-
lated sugar costs, say, cents, and the
Pinex so cents The recipe makes a
full pint of excellent cough syrup,
which keeps indefinitely, at cost OF
about 81 cents. You couldn't buy as
much ready-1nade cough syrup Tor
$3.50. This shows a clear saving OF
about 50.
This made remedy will stop an
obstinate, deep-seated cough quickly
usually in "a hours. 1t is also splendid
for colds, whcoping cough. pains IN the
chest, bronchial troubles and similar
ailments. Dose, one teaspoonful every
one, two or three hours as required
The taste is very pleasant
The eff ctiveness of this remedy IS
easily understood. The syrup is an e&-
cellent sedative.. The PineX is the most
valuable concentrated compound OIL
Norway White Pine Extract, and con-
tains all the natural elements which
make the aid of the pine forests SO eff
fective in curing tuberculosis. There
are many pine tar and pine oil prepara-
tions, but in making cough syrup on
this recipe be sure to use the real
Pdnex itself. Your druggist has ut, or
will gladly get it for YOU.

MYERS, EVIDENCE ALL IN.
Most Sensational and Expensive Hen
ry County Case in Years.

ry County Case in Years.
Special to Times Republican.
Mt Pleasant, Dec. 1.-THE taking OF
evidence was closed in the Myers case
here, last evening. 1t has proved to
be the most sensational and eXpens-
i've case tried in this county for years.
Over forty witnesses have been exam
ined in the case and DR.. Brown, an ex-
pert witness from Chicago, was paid
500 per day, or over $1,000 for his at
tendance upon the trial. The case has
already taken nearly two weeks.
1t is a criminal case, in which Mrs.
Anna Myers is being tried for an at
tempt to burn up her stepdaughter's
family last summer. Her sole defense
is insanity. DR.. Gresham Hill, of Des
Moines, and DR.. John Punton, of Kan
sas City, together with the officials
of the state hospital for the insane in
this city, testified to the fact that they
believed she was insane. DR.. Brown,
of Chicago, and DR.. Patrick, professor
of nervous and insane diseases, at
Northwestern, testified to the fact that
thew did not think she was insane.
No one knows what the decision OF
the Jury will be, but there are many
predictions that it may be a hung
Jury, as there is strong evidence on
both sides.

Hired Help Problem.
The eighth question in the list sent
out by the commission relates to the
problem of hired help. One farmer
commenting on this one declared that
the present scarcity of farm help is
the natural result of existing con-
ditions, and will regulate itself IN due
time. He maintains that we are now
living in an era of Improvement,
Drainage and building on the farms,
railroad improvement and other kin
dred activities are absorbing the Ia
Dor supply and making it difficult for
the farmer to obtain help. After
awhile much less of this improvement
will be going on and farm help will
become more plenty.

this: The farmer ought ITO stop re-
garding the business man in town as
an enemy who is trying to rob him
every time he buys an article, ana
trade so far as possible in his home
town. When a man advertises his farm
for sale or rent he almost invariably
mentions the location as near this or
that town, a most desirable market and
trading point, and too often in the
meantime he is buying almost every
thing he uses away from home, there
by detracting just that much from the
prosperity of the trading point and in
directly the value of his own farm
and its desirability as home
