We're disposed of during the same pc

this is "near.beer
"Near-beer' is an imitation Of the

popular in Georgia. Under the Unit

dispensers of this beverage are re-
quired to take out retail liquor H.
censes, and this will add to the in.
come of Uncle Sam. In addition to
the near saloons which have been
established to dispense the near
beer nearly all soda fountains and
drug stores and many country mer-
chants have taken out licenses to
handle the beverages. Reports show
that the Georgia brcweries are turn

year ,han they did of real beer and
the profit, both for the brewer ana
the retailer, is larger than is the
case with the real article.

II the Georgia "uear-beer" industry

thus remove as competitors the dis

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 contract
diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has
cold. The quicker you cure his cold
the less the risk. Ohamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the sole reliance of many
mothers, and few of those who have
tried it are willing to use any other.

IN THE SEAT OF THE scoRNFUL
"But il came to pass that when San
ballat heard that we buided the wall,
he was wrath, and took great lndlgna-
tion and mocked the Jews Nehe-
miah A.
There is a great commotion around
Jerusalem. The Jews have returned
from their long captivity in Babylon
and under the leadership Of the val
liant Nehemiah, they are engaged in
rebuilding the walls and restoring the
great city to its former splendor
1t was a great undertaking and IL
took courage to tackle It. And besides
there we're some fellows around Jeru-
salem who didn't like it. Among these
was Sanbalat who lst no time in
making known his displeasure. Stand
ing outside the walls, he scornfully
jerred at the workmen you foolish
Jews, you can never do anything as
big as that you are weak people
and you ought to have more sense
than to go up against this job" And
sanballat laughed at them and mock
ed them.
But Nehemiah and his people didn't
pay any heed to sanballat and his
crowd, but continued to build. The
walls were restored and the Holy City
stood over five hundred years, secure
against her enemies The joke was
on sanballat and The Knockers.
The samballats are not all dead.
They are a long-lived tribe and some
of them are found in every eommuni-
ty. Strange to say there are a few Of
them right here in Chickasha.
Never is a great undertaking launch
ed but there are those who stand BY
moclingly declaring, they viii never
do it." It is their mission in life to
scorn the efforts OF men who attempt
and do things. There are several va
rieties of the tribe. There is the
"smart Alex wise-acre who always
knows better than anybody else-very
profound. wise guys who are absolute
" convinced of their own smartness.
Then there is the common ordinary
street loafer Sanballat who never had
an idea above an OYSTER fellows who
