How to Cure a Cold

effect a quick cure. Such medicine is Cham
herlain's COugh Remedy. 1t has gained a

be depended upon. 1t acts on natures plan,
relieves the lungs, aids expectorating, opens
the secretiOns and aids nature in restoring the
system TO healthy condition. During the
many years in which il has been in general
use we have yet to learn Of a single case Of
cold or attack Of the grip having resulted in
pneumonia when this remedy was used, which
tive eff that dangerous disease. Chamber
ain's Cough Remedy contains no opium or

Wet and Dry Election

To the Voters Of BrevSrd County.
In regard to Mr.. F. A. Losley's pc
tition calling for a wet and dry cleo
ton will say that Mr.. Lesley has the
name of being the best bar tender
the county can produce. He will not
sell to minor or a drunken man and
for that will give him praise. Drink
is mans worst enemy.
Every drink taken as a beverage is
helping you to build a kodak to give
your picture to the business world as
a nuisance. Your drunken kodak in
married life will lead from happiness
to heart breaking; your offspring
will show a resemblance of you in
thirst for drink, the same as an ora
tor, musician and inventor inherits
genius.
In business your own drunken ko-
dak will show your picture in the eyes
of sober business world and cause
lack of confidence in you, and you
may lose your job. Your drunk pic
ture will show you from your kodak
when you pay your liquor bill before
your grocery bill. You will lose your
credit and forget your respect for
yourself or anybody else; will COM
nit murder, be tempted to steal or
do anything. Nothing too low for
you to do. You are not fit for a wit
ness in court; hence drunkenness is a
nuisance.
If the county goes wet | believe
Mr.. Lesley will be the right man to
sell nuisance across the counter to
the tempted rising generation.

There is some water left which is not

Our Population Limit.

1t is often predicted that this coun-
try will have a population Of at least
200. 100000. perhaps before the end Of
this century. The basis for this as
sumption is, Of course, the remarkable
growth OF the last fifty years. But In
order to double the present figures the
country would have to look to some
thing else than native fertility.
immigration has peopled the United
States to a great extent. But immi-
grafton. as pointed out by Mr.. W. s.
Rossiter Of the census bureau. cannot
be relied upon to keep up the rate of
increase for a long period in the fu-
ture. The limit fixed by this authori-
ty is 100000. and after 1850 he
thinks the population will remain sta
tionary. Our gains from immigration
have always been fluctuating, not
steady. Foreigners come here to bet
ter themselves Whenever the pros
pect has changed they have ceased to
come. and this will doubtless be the
rule in the future.

make out its case. The dismissal of
the charge of conspiracy will proba-

of peonage, as it would be difficult
to prove one without proving the

peonage has never existed in connec-
