Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and recovered from them without
treatment of any kind, do not for a
moment imagine that colds are not dan
gerous Everyone knows that pneumonia
and chronic catarrh have their origin in
common cold. Consumption is not
caused by cold but the cold prepares
the system for the reception and de-
velopment Of the germs that would not
otherwise have found Judgment. 1t is
the same with all infectious diseases.
Diptheria, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough are much more likely
to be contracted when the child has q
cold. You will see from this that more
real danger turks in cold than in any
other of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure a cold
is to take Chamberlain S Cough Remedy.
The many remarkable cures affected by
this preparation have made it staple

world For sale by p d. Cottingham

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily. when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms pain in the
back, headache, nervousness hot. dry
skin. rheumatism, govt, gravel, disor-
ders of the eyesight and hearing. diz-
illness. irregular heart, debility, drow
siness, dropsy, deposits in the urine,
etc. But if you keep the filters right
you will have no trouble with your kid
neys.
A. Fred Hartman, mail carrier, liv-
ing on Market St, Snow Hill, Md,
says: -Four or five years ago my kid
neys became disordered caused no doubt
by being out in all kinds of weather and
carrying mail over the rough country
roads. If | contracted cold it would
invariably settle on the kidneys and
caused me much pain and discomfort.
The complaint grew on me until the
kidneys became so congested they felt
like two hard knots and | began to suf-
fer with intense darting pains across
my back. The secretions became ir-
regular and unhealthy and my condi-

A GERMAN SATIRE.
The Forgotten Life and tho Sad Fate
OF the Herring.

amusingly satlrlzed In Germany:
Some time ago Herr Professor Schllt-

aud kept II In large vat ~ salt wa
ter. Every morning the professor dip
ped out OF this vat half teaspoonful
Of salt water and replaced II with an
equal amount OF fresh water
The herring survived and passed his
days apparently IN the best OF spirits.
In the course OF time the water IN the
tank was rendered completely fresh
Not a grain Of salt was left In It. And
stlll the herring remained cheerful and
In good health. Next the herr pro.
fessor began to deprive the fish. little
by little Of the fresh water element
IN which he lived In this also he was
successful, and after time the herring
gambolcd around in a perfectly dry
tank
The herr professor next put the fish
In birdcngc. and the Intelligent crea-
ture continued 10 thrive But one day
the herr professor noticed that some
thing seemed to be the matter with

In spite of the fact that dairylng as

those sections Of the country where
dairying Is carried ON extensively are

likely that whole lot OF farmers are
conducting this branch of work at an
