is PRAYER eeooraphicaI?

Not long ago, in an important coun-
ty in Ohio, the women and others
prayed that it would go dry and it
did. A few days later, the people in
Nassau and Suffolk counties, Long Is
land, prayed that these counties would
become desiccated and a count of
the votes showed that there was moth
ing doing. In both cases only those
people prayed who we're accustomed
to that form of weapon. Accordingly
there is a strong suggestion that
prayer, like the tariff, is a local issue.

New Formula Cures Coughs, Colds,
Bronchitis and Hoarscness

III tive 6DuTos
Much is being done in these days
to stop the ravages of consumption,
but probably nothing has been so
effective as teaching the public how
tC break up a cold and cure coughs,
bronchitis, tonsilitis, etc, with simple
home-mixed medicine. A laxative
cough syrup, free from whiskey is the
prime need. A cough indicates in
flammation and congestion and these
in turn are due to an excess of waste
and poisons in the system. A tonic
laxative cough syrup rids the system
of congestion, while relieving the
painful coughing. Get the following
and mix at home: One-half ounce
fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce COM
pound essence cardiol and three inc
syrup white pine compound, Shake
the bottle and take twenty drops every
half hour for four hours. Then one
half to one teaspoonful three or four
times daily. Give children less, ac-
cording to age. Cut this out and save
1t for some friend.
