WHY colds Are Dangerous,

Becau-e You have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment OF any kind. do
not for a moment imagine that colds
are not dangerous. Everyone knows
that penumonia and chronic catarrh
have their origin In q common cold,
Consumption Is not caused by cold,
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development OF the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. II Is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria.
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
conght are much more likely 10 be
contrated when the child has a cold.
You will sea from this that more real
danger turks in a cold than In any
other OF the common ailments. The
easiest and quieketst way TO cure
cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable
cures effected by this preparation
have made II staple article OF trade

kthey will be required TO parade at a
certain hour, and they meet with nc

They are drawn up In line, and after
names have been called over they
are dismissed from the station one

the immediate neighborhood OF a
certain street In a couple OF hours
and not to get near the spot before
the prearranged moment.
The first officer TO appear on the
scene Is the one in charge OF the
raid. He is always disguised and
usually looks like well dressed
man about town. He pas3es the club
carelessly. bat II Is sufficient for
him 10 learn from a confederate in

STORY OF A DoLLAR.

Ten years ago an Allen county,
Kan, farmer put his initials on a
dollar bill. The next day he went
TO the nearest town and spent II
with a merchant Before the year
was out he got the dollar back. Four
times In six years the dollar eame
back to him In produce. and three
times he heard OF II In the pockets
OF his neighbors. The last time he
got II back was four years ago. He
sent II TO a mail-order house. He
has never seen that dollar since.
and never will. That dollar bill will
never pay any more school or road
tax for him, will never build or
brighten any OF the homes OF the
community. He sent IL entirely out
OF the usefulness to himself and TO
his neighbors when he sent II 20
the mail-order house. The moral is
plain:
Moral: Trade at your home stores
where your dollar buys most any
way and where you may get II back
again

.ne sound of a drunken song is heard
in tne distance, and two apparently
rough looking men come staggering
along. AS they near the entrance

soon come to blows. The doorkeep-
er peeps through the wicket and or
oer the men away. One of the men
rushes at the wicket and challenges
the doorkeeper to come outside like
man and at the same time shouts
out something about the character
on the house. The combatants con-
tinue fighting and the officer ut the
corner comes along and orders them
away The men return, however,
to have II out with the doorkeeper. :"
The noise increases, attracting home

dress. who gather round and urge

The doorkeeper by this time be-
comes alarmed, for the rowdy crowd
will frighten away his clients. Per-

OF the club arrives and seeks admis-

fore he has time to fasten Il the two
officers hastily secure the member
and rush upstairs. The two combat
ants were disguised policeman and

The front door Is secured, and the
police form guard around the
house. so that escape Is impossible.
Meantime the scene upstairs Is
one of the widest excitement. The
gamblers, intent on business, had
not noticed the scuffie in the pas

get OF the state OF affairs Is when
the door is thrown open and the
ofiicer In charge calls on them TO re-
gard themselves as his prisoners.
Then they realize their position.
The tables are overturned, and card
counters and money roll all over
floor as the members endeavor to
escape. They make for the street

A Poetic Comparison.

The poet was favoring a friendly
soul with his last verses, says a
writer in st. James Budget. The
verses were descriptive of a beautiful
girl. The poet read:
''Her hair was massed in flowing curls,
The color of whisper"
This made the listener "sit up"
whats that?' he said. Read that
again."
Il thought you would say something
about that" the poet answered. 81
don't want to appear egotistical, but
that little phrase gives some scope for
the exercise Of the mind"
'In what way?"
The poet laughed.
Don't you see" he said, "how beau
tifully that describes the shade of her
hair? Every poet speaks of golden
hair or raven locks. To be a success
one must be original. Well. she did
not have golden hair. 1t was nearly
golden, and l convey the impression
by means of that one word"
The other still looked puzzled.
"You have heard said the poet pa
tiently, that silence is golden?"
yes" the other admitted.
We'll" resumed the poet, IF silence
is golden what would whisper be?
1t would be nearly golden, wouldn't
it?"
The poet laughed again. The other
was sitting down and could not stag
ger, so he laughed too.

We learn In Leaves From the Jour
nal of Sir George Smart that when
Sir George, who was chorister at the
Chapel Royal, arranged the musical
programme at the opening of the new
London bridge in 1881 his chief at
traction was a glee party.
Immediately after the glee party had
sung "God Save the King" In the tent
In which the king and queen were seat
ed two unknown persons In costume
a man and his wife, stepped forward
and to Sir Georges infinite disgust the
man played God Save the King with
his knuckles on his chin, accompanied
by his wife's voice.
The king called Sir George to him
and asked who they were. Sir George
by that time knew the name Of the
performers and gave 1t, adding that
he was sorry they had intruded with
out permission.
"Oh, no intrusionT said the king
"It was charming. Tell them to per
form again."
So Sir George had to tell the per
formers that their number was en-
cored by royal command, and to theil
great delight and to the chagrin of Sir
George they repeated 1t.

REASON FOR CONVERSION.
Why the Baltimore Sun Decided to
Support Taft.


TFrom the Baltimore Sun. Den.l
It is our deliberate judgment that fol-
the next four years the material inter
ests of the people of this country
would. be safer with Mr.. Taft at the
head of the national government than
with Mr.. Bryan. We further believe
that, while lawbreakers would be
brought to account by Mr.. Taft with
as little fear or favor as Mr.. Bryan
could display, the methods employed
by Mr.. Taft would not curtail the
workingman's opportunities for en-
ployment by disturbing the business OF
law abiding men and corporations as
has been witnessed in the last few
years.
Mr.. Taft's experience in important
administrative posts. his judicial tenn
permanent, his patience and thorough
ness In investigation, justify the belief
that as president he would execute the
law faithfully and well, but not spec
tacuIarly. And, while this type of man
ought to be in the White House all the
time. he seems to be especially needed
now. when the country Is emerging
from an Industrial and financial de-
preston which brought distress and
suffering into many homes.

ABRYAN CAN DO NO HARM"
A Frequent Statement That Will Not
Bear Analysis.

n Frequent statement Inat VIII Noe
Bear Analysis.
The Apologize Democrat who wants
to remain regular and who has swal-
lowed Organism takes care to repeat
as often as he is accused of inconsist-
ency that Mr.. Bryan can do no harm
even If he is elected. 1t Is time that
this statement was met and smashed.
Mr.. Bryan If elected could and would
do a great deal of harm in so many
ways that it Is almost impossible to
enumerate them. In the first place, he
would have an opportunity during his
term to pack the supreme court and
no one doubts that he would so pack
1t that the confidence Of the American
people In its greatest institution would
be lost or severely shattered.
Mr.. Bryan would appoint cabinet
from his friends and not from his enc
mics, and 1t must be admitted that the
best men in the Democratic party are
not close friends of Mr.. Bryan. He
would appoint judges and district at
torneys throughout the country who
would carry out his designs as far as
possible, but the greatest harm of all
that could come upon the people
through the election Of Mr.. Bryan
would be the loss Of confidence In bust
ness circles and the probable stagna-
ton that would come over the country
and remain for four years at least
There Is no measuring this blight
that would come to our nation through
the election Of William ]. Bryan. We
endured it from 1898 to 1896 under

only be a failure. but failures would
come to every American institution
and every American industrial center
