HOW TO BREAK UP
A BAD COLD
A REMEDY WITHIN REACH
OF ALL.
Pleasant and Safe to Take---No
Loss of Time---Al Danger Of
Pneumonia Avoided.

It may be a surprise TO our readers TO
learn that a severe cold can in many in
stances be completely broken up in one or
two days time. To do this, however, prompt
action is necessary. The first symptoms of
. cold are . dry, loud cough, a profuse wat
cry discharge from the nose, and q thin
white coating on the tongue. When Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is taken in double
doses every hour after the first appearance
Of these symptoms, il will counteract the
effect of the cold and restore the system 70 q
healthy condition within one or two days
time, in almost every case, and when the
cold Is not completely cured in this time, its
severity will be greatly lessened and a COM
Plete cure insured in a very short time. When
no action toward curing the cold Is taken,
the dry, loud cough is followed by . profuse
wAtery expectorAtion, and that byA difficulty
In breathing, a peculiar tightness Of the
chest and a slight eXpectoration Of very
tough and tenacious mucous. Few persons
pay any attention to q cold until in this con-
dition, that is, until the cold has become
settled in the system. The first action should
be TO relieve the lungs. This is best accom-
plished BY the free uss Of ChAmberlain's
Cough Remedy. This remedy liqus6es the
tough mucus and causes its expulsion from
the air cells OF the lungs, produces = free
sxpectoratiOn, and opens the secretions. A
complete cure soon follows. In some cases,
however, several days are required, but the
experience Of thousands Of persons in the
uss Of this remedy has been that II will cure
a severe cold in less time than any other
treatment and that 1t leaves the system in q
natural and healthy condition. This remedy
also prevents a cold from resulting in pne1.

LINCOLN. Dec. ~23.-(Special. )-Many ru-
mors are in the air regarding proposed
changes In the management of the state
university. One report is to the effect that
II is being seriously considered offering the
position Of financial chancellor to c. S.
Allen. at this time a member of the Board
of Regents. This was generally talked
about before the selection of Prof. Avery
to be acting chancellor. 1t is one of the
stories afloat now that shortly after the
first OF the year Mr.. Avery will be chosen
permanent chancellor and that Mr.. Allen
will be invited to be the financial chan
cellor and have supreme authority over the
finances of the institution.
The university now spends more than
1900, 900 every biennium and the regents
have come to the conclusion that a change
from the way OF the old management is
necessary to get the best results. The Sc
lection of a financial chancellor who will
rave no other work to do has appealed to
the board. 50 It is likely there is more to
the rumor than mere talk.
Mr.. Allen is a lawyer with a good prac-
tice, so It would requiEe a good sized sal
airy probably to get him TO take the place
but It is reported that he would not be
adverse to receiving a proposition.
After the sid
Mayor Brown is out in a statement tha'
the curfew law must be enforced. Too many
small boys and girls are roaming tho
streets at night to suit his honor and they
must be kept at home or their names viii
be reported to the Juvenile court officers

History Of Suit.
The states custer suit against the Stand
ard. Republic and Waters-Pierce companies
was instituted almost four years ago. The
evidence was taken in st. Louis and in
New York, where r. r. Rogers, principal
was compelled to, testify before a special
commissioner
At the same time Rockefeller was COM
PEELED to remain in New Jersey to avoid
Hadley's subpoena service, It being Had
uey's wish to place the aged oil king on the
witness stand.
The evidence has been before the state
supreme court for a year. Owing to its
commanding Importance 1t was considered
by the entire court. All seven judges con-
CURED In the opinion, which was written
by Judge Woodson.
That the decision as to the Waters
Pierce compan represents a compromise is
shown by separate concurring opinions filed
by Judges Lamm and Graves.
Judge Lamm holds that the Waters
PiercB company should be fined $1,o00,00o
instead of $4,000. Judge Graves opinion is
that the waters-Pferce company should
not be deprived OF its corporate franchise.
He takes this ground to protect the
minority stockholders.
