Whv Colds are Dannernns.

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
dangerous Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in a common cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by a cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the germs
that would not otherwise have found
lodgment 1t is the same with all in
fectious diseases. Diphtheria, scarlet
fever, measles and whooping cough are
much more likely to be contracted when
the child has a cold. You will see
from this that more real danger turks in
a cold than in any other of the common
ailments. The easiest and quickest way
to cure a cold is to take Chamberlain's
Cough Femedy. The many remarkable
cures effected by this preparation have
made it a staple article of trade over a
large part of the world For sale by
Jackson Drug Store, Spagnoli, prop.

PRICE or HORSES

A table has been compiled from the
statistics of the Census Bureau and the
Department Of Agriculture, which shows
that the rise 10 the market value of horses
has been oil out Of proportion in the last
fifteen years to the increase in their num-
Der in the United States.
From 1898 to 1908 the horse popula-
ton, so to speak, increased 8. 785, 600, or
% per cent. In the same period the gain
in the number of human inhabitants was
q, 979, 600, or 80 per cent. But the in.
crease in the value Of the horses in this
country was no less than $875, 300, COO, or
88 per cent. These facts will astonish
many persons who have supposed that the
growth of the automobile interest has
been very adverse to the horse breeders
and to the market demand for horses.
On the contrary, the prices obtained for
good horses, especially for heavy draft
animals OF blood and stamina, have risen
far beyond the hopes Of horse dealers a
few years ago. Horses are worth about
90 per cent. more in proportion to their
number than they were in 1893.

to produce ammonia from the atmos-

is yet known of the details at the pro-
