STANLEY, MoUNCE & co. HAVE CORN FED PORK.

You should always remember that most cough and cold cures are consti- pating. Yet the most important thing to do when you have cold is to move the bowels. You cannot promptly cure a cold until you do this. Kennedy's s Laxative Cough Syrup stops the cough by allaying inflammation of the throat and lungs, and it drives the cold from the system by gently moving the bow els. Children like it for it tantes nearly as good as maple sugar. Sold by Pal ace Pharmacy and United Drug Co.
 The old fashioned way of dosing a weak stomach, or stimulating the Heart or Kidneys is all wrong. pr. Shoop first pointed out this error. This is why his prescription--Dr Shoop's Re- storative--is directed entirely to the cause of these ailments-the weak in side or controlling nerves. It isn't no difficult, says Dr. Shoop, to strengthen weak Stomach, Heart or Kidneys, if one goes at it correctly. Each inside organ has its controlling or inside nerve. When these nerves fail, then those organs must surely falter. These vital truths are leading druggistn ev- anywhere to dispense and recommend Dr. Shops Restorative. Test it few days and seel Improvement will prompt ly and surely follow. Sold by Palace Pharmacy.

AFTER VALUABLE LOGS.
Mississippi Is To Be Dredsed Fer
Sunken Timbers.

Clinton.-A new thing in the lum-
Der industry is promised on the Mis-
sissippi river this coming summer
nothing more nor less than dredging
for sunken logs, some of them buried
in the mud and silt OF the river for
years past. The enormous Increase
in the prices of logs and the alarming
scarcity of timber on the upper Mis-
sissippi has prompted men to investi.
gate this proposed redemption OF lost
material and they declare it absolute
ly feasible In fact, an experience
along this line was conducted all last
season on the st. CroiX river in Cana
da, and thousands of logs were recoV-
cred and sold at a profit for the enter
prise.
1t is claimed by river men who
know that that Mississippi river bed
and banks from source to mouth are
lined with sunken logs. Millions OF
feet of lumber have been wasted
through their loss. When reclaimed,
dried out, cut up and put on the mar
ket their value will reacs into the
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
