has been taken from his immediate
family, and is cared for within the roy
al palace. According to the cable dis
patches from Peking, he was popularity

if he is Chinese and an emperor, he is
still quite a human baby.

BEST TREATMENT FOR COLDS

"Most ordinary colds will yield to the
simplest treatment" says the Chicago
Tribune, "moderative laxatives, hot foot
baths, a free Precipitation and an avoid
ance Of exposure to cold and wet after
treatment" While this treatment is
simple, it requires considerable trouble,
and the one adopting it must remain in
doors for a day or two, or a fresh cold is
almost sure to be contracted, and in
many instances pneumonia follows. Is
it not better to pin your faith to an old
reliable preparation like Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, that is famous for its
cures of colds and can always be de-
pended upon? For sale by all druggists.

given this week the new road will leave
the Milwaukee at Mclaughlin and run
in a northwesterly direction to Mott and
then On to New England. The terminus
will be at New England, where the town.
site has already been secured.
It looks as if New England will be
the terminus of the N. P. and Milwau-
kee and will soon be the Chicago of the
west. The boom is now in full blast
and the town is growing daily.
