You should always remember that
most cough and cold cures are con-
stipating. 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 Laxative Cough
Syrup stops the cough by allayine
inflammation of the throat and
lungs. and it drives the cold from the
system by gently moving the bowels.

The Sick Sheen

BY Emma Kostal, Aged IA Years, 1915 o
Street, South Omaha. Neb.
A drover passing through a town noticed
one Of his sheep was ailing. At length, it
lay down by the roadside, and he left 1t
to die.
A few minutes later, a small lad came
by, and seeing the poor animal, went up
to It, and patted its head. The sheep opened
its eyes and glanced for a moment into the
boys plying face.
1T want water" thought the lad. and
off he ran to a fountain nearby, and filling
his hat hurried bach to the sheep.
The poor animal at first took no notice,
then 1t lifted its head. and, seeing he water,
took a drink. At this the boy was
delighted. His hat leaked so that he
had to run to the fountain for more water
two or three times. and on each return the
sheep tok a few drops.
After a while 1t seemed to revive and the
boy had the delight Of seeing it slowly rise
and step towards him.
"Ill take it home and keep It," said he,
noticing that the drover was now out OF
sight.
At last the shep found itself in a COM
Portable pen. and no sheep cold have better
care, than this poor creature left to die
by its owner.

By Helen Goodrich, Aged 13 Years, Aoi0
Nicholas st., Omaha Red.
Jasmine stanhope was a beautiful girl
Of IA years, who was very poor and lived
with her aunt. One day she was sitting
on the porch reading, when the postman
handed her a letter addressed TO herself.
Eagerly opening it, she found 1t to be a
letter from the lawyer Of a rich uncle
of hers who had recently died. 1t said
that Mr.. Greyson, her uncle, was a very
queer man, and that he had wllled a
pair of old shoes to her. 1t also said
that they would be sent in a few lays.
Jasmine had heard Of her uncle's death
a few days before, but as she had been
his favorite niece she expected something
greater than an old pair of shoes.
She ran and told her aunt. who was as
much surprised as she had been. Sure
enough, in two days Jasmine received a
package containing a pair Of the shah
best looking shoes she had ever seen.
In one of the shoes was a note. which
reads "Wear these shoes and you will be
rewarded" So Jasmine decided TO wear
them, and she did, although she wes
laughed at many times.
At length she had worn them for so
long a time that the leather was begin
ming to wear out. One morning she was
mendinK the leather. when a gold piece
fell out from the hole. Hastily ripping
the leather, she found many bills and
gold pieces and a note which said, The
patient and humble are always rewarded"
There was a great deal of money, SO
she gave some to her aunt and had enough
left TO get many things that she mad al
ways desired.
