THE TEST OF TIME
BIT OF HlsToRY-sHoWINe
HOW HONEST GOODS AND
HONEST EFFORTS HAVE
SUCCEEDED.

For more than so years Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has constantly
gained in favor and popularity until
it is now one of the most staple medi-
cines in use, and has an enormous
sale. Every industry has its pioneer
days, and it is during these strug
ling times that its worth and merits
are tested. The early history of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy shows that
except in point of merit, it had no
more hope of success than other sim
liar preparations, which were put on
the market at the same time, but were
never known outside OF their own To-
cality, and have long since ceased to
be manufactured. Step by step, each
successive year, as it's superior excel
lence becomes more widely known, it
has been gradually gaining in favor.
Taken first, perhaps, on trial by some
family, who found it good, it was rec
commended by them to a neighbor;
they in turn passed it on to other
friends, and for over 80 years it's rep
utation has in this manner been spread
| ing until it has reached the utmost
corners of the earth Science and adj
vanced medical authorities during all
of this time have failed to produce a
better remedy for coughs, colds and
Group, and today Chamberlain Cough
Remedy is enjoying the largest sale
of any similar preparation on the mar
ket. This~success can be attributed
to no other cause than its sterling
worth. No matter how much promin
ence an article may receive through
the medium of advertising, it must be
trustworthy to hold the confidence o.
the public. In thousands of homes
this remedy is the main reliance of par
ents in attacks of Group. Not only
does it give prompt relief. but it is
$50 pleasant to take that children like
it, and it contains nothing that is il
lany way injurious.

ABOUT COUGHS
A COUGH is NOT A DISEASE, BUT
A SYMPTOM.

BY the character of the cough we
are greatly aided in determining the
nature of the disease that causes it.
A dry hacking cough is usually
caused by an irritation of the mucous
membrane lining the air passages of
the throat and bronchial tubes. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy will allay
this irritation. The cause being re-
moved there will be no more coughing.
When the cough is dry, loud and So
norous it indicates that you have TAX
en- cold. Take double dose of Cham
berlains Cough Remedy, bathe the
feet in hot water, take a cathartic and
go to bed and you can cure a cold in
one night.
When the cough is spasmodic and
long continued it indicates whoping
cough. and the peculiar whoop will
identify the disease. This is a dan
gerous disease unless properly treat
ed. More deaths result from it than
from scarlet fever. Keep the cough
loose and expectoration. easy by Civ
| ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as
required and all danger may be
iavoided.
| A persistent cough often follows an
attack of influenza or grip, which is
usually due to a roughnes and irrita-
tion of the mucuous membrane lining
the air passages of the throat. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy has proven
very successful in allaying this irri-
tation and checking the cough.
When a child's cough has a peculiar
Iringing metallic sound, accompanied
by hoarseness, it indicates an ap-
preaching attack of Group. The at
tack may be warded off by giving
chamberlain Cough Remedy freely
as directed with each bottle as soon
as the cough appears.
| For a persistent cough accompanied
by a gradual loss of flesh, tired feel
ing and night sweats, consult a ply
sician at once and have your lungs
examined. These are the first symp-
toms of consumption, and if a cure is
hoped for no time should be lost.

HEART TO HEART TALK
WITH A YOUNG MOTHER.

Good morning. I'm so glad to see
you. How are the children? What's
the trouble now Seems like they
have been sick all winter. First scar
let fever, then diphtheria and now it
is whooping cough. Well, you have had
your hands full to be sure, but do you
know l believe you could have warded
off some of those diseases. Oh no!
I'm not accusing you of neglecting
you children; you're too good
mother to do that. | know your new
neighbors brought scarlet fever, but
don't you remember the hard colds
your children had just when they
came? Now listen a moment; that
has had more to do with it than you
think Your children were then par
ticularly susceptible to disease germs
on account of their lowered vitality
Eminent physicians now agree that
children would not be nearly so likely
to take scarlet fever, diptheria,
whooping cough or any of the catch
ing diseases if every cold were doc
tored when it first makes its ap-
pearance. You have noticed that when
two children are exposed to some con-
tagious disease at the same time often
one of them will take it and the other
will not. Well that is just the reason
one child had a cold and the other did
not. | never allow a cold to run "a
hours without attention. You say you
don't have any confidence in cough
medicines? You have not used the
right one yet. Just try Chamberlain
Cough Remedy and you'll change youl
mind. OF course you have heard of it
1t has been on the market for Sc
years No. indeed, it won't hurt the
children. There is nothing in it thai
will injure your little baby. Get
bottle of it while you are up town ant
you will find that your children vii
not catch everything that come:

''The coat without collar Is an ideal

designer to a reporter of the Kansas

for the office man who doesn't care to
remove his coat in business hours.

Beauty is Only
Skin Deep

Beauty is only skin deep, yet it is
the result of health. Happiness and
serenity of mind have much to do
with beauty, but the unhealthy are
usually unhappy, so that both are
traceable to the same source; good
health. Happiness and beauty as
naturally follow good health as effect
follows cause. Even if the features be
plain, the perfect health that comes
from good blood and good living will
make face beautiful and attractive.
The editor of The Family Doctor, in
touching upon the subject of good
health, points out that it is not only
the privilege but the duty of women
to be beautiful, and to those who lack
good compilations, strength and gen
eral good health particularly at Ger.

The Defeat of hoke Smith,.

The real cause of the defeat of Gov
ernor Hoke Smith of Georgia in his
canvass for denomination appears tc
have been the long haired legislation
which he aided and abetted. A dis
tinctly hostile attitude was taken and
maintained towards capital. The
railroads in particular We're made the
targets of persecution. The result
was inevitable. Capital was driver
from the state. Men who had money
to invest in various enterprises nc
longer looked upon Georgia as a IA
vorable state in which to place it
The material interests of the state
were large, but there was no longer
capital for their development. Large
extensions Of railroad service Were
very much needed; but there was not
dollar to be had for them. The
march of progress was stayed. The
people of Georgia awoke to the fact
that crank legislation had queered the
state, with the men whose capital was
imperatively needed to insure its con-
tinued growth and prosperity. 1t was
evident that the time had come tC
turn about, and move in the direction
of economic sanity. The first move
in this direction has been the defeat OF
toe
against Governor Smith was his abil-
ity to point out in a caustic and ef-
sensational railroad batting program
carried through by his opponent oper-
ated to paralyse the Industries of the
state. An attempt has been made to
show that the passage of a prohibition
law was a handicap to Governor
Smith; but there is little to indicate
that such was the fact. The liquor
interests We're practically a unit
against Governor Smith when he was
first nominated 1t is not probable
that they We're able to do much more
against him at the recent primaries
than they did then. Had he been
Wise enough to have maintained a
broader and fairer attitude towards
the great industries of his state there
is reason to believe that he would
have experienced no serious difficulty
in securing the denomination which
party usage would, naturally, have ac-
corded him.

Maine Farms.

(WestbrOok Chronicle C;aZette)
We think it good policy to call the
attention of young men, who are
closing their school days and who are
now considering what vocation they
will follow, to farming in Maine. We
see in fancy our readers incredulOus
smile as he reads this, but after you,
surprise is over stop and think and
consider again.
Here are just Il few facts for you:
First, the vocation of a farmer is not
over crowded: second, it will yield a,
least a livelihood. which is something
that cannot be said of many vocations:
third. that if the proper amount of
brains and capital are employed. it will
respond just as quickly to big money
making as banking or any legitimate
business. If YOU have any doubts
about this statement. consult any
authority and you will easily learn its
truth. Fourth. it is eminently
respectable and other trades and voca
tions cast envious eyes toward it
Compare it, if YOU please. to any city
vocation employing the same amount
Of capital. Now the city has for years
been the Mecca toward which our
young mems and women's eyes have
been turned longingly
Go to the city if you like, but don't
stay. except long enough to visit the
terminals in the early morning and
late at night and watch the crowd of
tired workers pushing and crowding
their weary way from work to their
homes. Remember, too. that there are
thousands more in the city who have
no place to sleep and who are hungry
Now the work on farm is hard, but
1t is healthful and offers diversity both
in work and play. We might cite in
Vulnerable instances of success of the
highest order, but we believe that your
good judgment will point out that the
same amount of capital and energy
and the same determination to over
come obstacles put into a farm that is
put into other lines of work, will lead
you to achieve that success that you
feel belongs to you.
