The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says, lone Of the
objects of the law is to inform the con-
sumer Of the presence of certain harmful
drugs in medicines" The law requires
that the amount of chloroform, opium,
morphine, and other habit forming
drugs be stated on the label Of each
bottle. The manufacturers Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy have always
claimed that their remedy did not con-
tain any of these drugs, and the truth
of this claim is now fully proven, as no
mention of them is made on the label.
This remedy is not only one Of the
safest, but one Of the best in use for
coughs,and colds. It's value has been
proven beyond question during the many
Years it has been in general use. For
sale by Kaufman Drug.

Mr.. KITCHlN in THE LEAD
Twelve Counties Hold Primaries or
Conventions During the Week With
Results Altogether Favorable to
the Candidate From the
Fifth District.

Charlotte Observer
In round number IL counties held
primaries or conventions the past week,
holding 121 convention votes. OF these
Mr.. Craig received 1852. Mr.. Kitchin
$3.50 and Mr.. Horne 21.88.
The total mum Der of counties holding
primaries or conventions to date is
50, the total number of convention
votes east is 693, of which Mr.. Craig
receives 2S6.62, Mr.. Kitchin 294. O5,
Mr.. Horne 1923. Four of the 83
counties, holding 80 convention votes,
are u~ninstructed. Fifteen counties
have yet to hold primaries.
Mr.. Craig's friends are by no means
discouraged by yesterdays results. In
fact 1t is confidently expected that he
will regain his lead in the primaries to
be held next Saturday., aud will GO
into the convention on the oath with a
good lead over Mr.. Kitchin. Ali OF
the counties which have yet to vote
are in neutral territory, with the
chances in Mr.. Craig's favor.

PURELY VEGETABLE
OF

Very few persons are able to pass the Spring season with any
degree OF physical comfort, without the aid of a tonic. Our systems
change with the changing seasons, and more is required of the blood,
from which source our bodies receive their nourishment and strength,
at this particular season than at others.
During the cold Winter months we do not exercise as freely as in
warmer weather, the skin is not as active in removing the waste and
refuse matter, and the other avenues of drainage are dull and sluggish
in their work. Thus the impurities which should pass off are left in
the system, and are absorbed into the blood.
When Spring comes and all nature takes on new life, we change
our mode OF living, and greater demands are made on the blood for
noln1shment and strength to enable us to meet the changed conditions.
But the Winter accumuahons have polluted the blood and destroyed its
nuritve qualities to such an extent that it is not able to supply the

Our physical machinery seems

from debility, weakness, nervous

When the system is in this dis

tonic, and it should be a medicine
which has the additional qualities
of a hrst-class blood purifier, for to
restore health the blood must be
cleansed of all impurities.
