Good Cough Medicine for Children

The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can not be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to con- tract diptheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re- liance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. +. r. Starcher of Ripley, w. Na., says: "l have never used anything other than Cham berlain's Cough Remedy for my children and it has always given good satisfaction. This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to child as au adult For sale by Jackson Drug Co, and all dealers,

A SIMPLE PLAN.

A big bank in Kansas recently had to close its doors because unfriendly gossip caused the depositors to get scared and withdraw their money, and the Kansas City Journal, redi- culing the idea of guaranteeing de- positors against loss, as is its GUS tom, asks: Why not guarantee against gossip 2" That's easy. Just guarantee the men who own the deposits that they can get what be- longs to them when they want it and you will have guarantee against gossip that breaks banks.

A great paper recently made the statement that there never was so wide difference between the two great parties on any important mat ter as between the Rooseyelt-Ta Republicans and the Cannon-Payne- Aldrich Republicans. And there never was as much difference be- tween Bryan and Roosevelt as be- tween Bryan and Parker. It looks like new party lineup was getting closer.

The Eternal Equivalent,

Every commercial business eyacts
the eternal equivalent in the granting
of favors. or no other institution in
the world Is so much exacted free as
of the newspaper. 1t is kind word
here, kind word yonder, a puff here
and puff there. For the price of
ONE cent man expects, aye, even
demands, space worth hundreds of
dollars. But where is our quid pro
quo? The circulation is not increased.
We are giving something for moth
ing. Once in while Tips column
has paragraph about an interesting
man. 1t is good reading for all who
take The Press; and the interesting
man, being deeply interested, buys
100 or 500 copies and scatters them
broadcast to interested people. What
does it amount to? Five hundred
copies cost IS at retail; so there is
an outlay of S. for $500 worth of ad-
vertising, Shucks! The business is
too one-sided. 1t isn't fair.

Wall Street.

Wall Street receives an overabund-
ance of valuable space, you may say.
The Stock Exchange forbids advertis-
ing. Mores the pity. In a little
while, however, all this will be
changed through the publicity now
being thrust upon it. Thirty years
ago a physician who advertised was
frowned upon as a quack. To-day
some of the leading practitioners in
troduce themselves TO the public by
means of printers ink. Stock Ex-
change firms will have to advertise
or go out of business. The day of the
"high-horse" is past. / expect to see
the time when all price quotations
shall be paid for, and at big rates.

As II is Done.

No gentleman of the staff is sup
posed TO seek transportation from
any railroad, steamboat or steamship
company, from any submarine, air
ship or automobile company, on his
own recognizement. If he wants to
go to Carlsbad, or the heart of Africa,
to the North Pole or to the antipodes,
to Mars or to the bowels of the earth,
he is supposed to mention it to the
business manager, who, If he chooses,
refers it TO the highest authority. or
course there are department heads
who control certain and sundry priv
ileges of the pass evil, such as the
drama editor, the music editor, the
sporting editor, etc. If want a free
pass for theatre may ask the dra-
ma editor, and he may tif he feels In
the vein) send me 'pasteboard,"
but it is a quid pro quo. If l want
to go to the circus l must ask the
circus editor. Do want to go to the
race track? The sporting editor is
the man to snuggle up to. Etc.

COnlDlimcntarics.

Those not in the newspaper busi-
ness imagine that the editor, mana
ger, all the subs and every reporter
and Office boy, the compositors and
even the scrubwomen go about loaded
with railroad passes, theatre tickets,
boxes at the circus, police cards,
steamboat omplimentaries, telegraph
and telephone franks, free use of the
mails, race track badges, etc., and
their friends on the outside are even
insistent upon obtaining these privi)-
eyes. AS matter OF fact, there are
but few complimentaries of this char
acter flying about, and all are paid
for by the eternal equivalent, the
small matter of advertising. A Press
man, for instance, sent to Chicago
may ride on pass, but that pass has
been paid for in advertising. Before
the anti-pass law was enforced my
life was saddened by my inability to
meet the demands of friends for free
transportation. Some had no deli
cacy about asking for passes to San
Francisco. Now it is easy TO say:
"You know the law; no more free
passes"
