Recommends ChamberIain's
Cough Remedy.
CAS- long ago as I can remember my
mother was faithful user and friend
of Chamberlain Cough Remedy, but
never in my life have l realized its
true value until now" writes Profess
sor H. A. Howell of Howel's American
school, Havana, Cuba. "On the night
of Feb. 8 our baby was taken sick
with very severe cold; the next day
was worse and the following night his
condition was desperate. He could
not lie down and it was necessary 20
have him in the arms every moment.
Even then his breathing was difficult.
l did not think he would live until
morning. At last l thought of my
mothers remedy, Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, which we gave, and it af-
forded prompt relief, and now three
days later, he has fully recovered.
Under the circumstances 1 would not
hesitate moment in saying that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and that
only, saved the life OF our dear little
boy" For sale by all druggists.

Mr. Howe's pictures are exclusive from
the fact that the moving photography

realism OF the views given as may we'll

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

Three young matrons, friends and neigh
bors, recently decided TO spend their
holiday together, provided the husbands
would agree, which they did. Of course,
but with a proviso-they were not ex-
pected 10 wear dress clothes during the
week-ends, which were all they could
spare from business. The proviso held
good. although the place selected was
high-class and the hotel rather preten-
tiOus Now. two of the women were
not wise enough to see that their ward
robe should be plain and unassuming
under such circumstances. so they
brought frocks and things suited for the
festivities from which their husbands
would be barred on account OF their lack
Of evening clothes.
When they tried to do the things in
which men delight-to tramp. OF drive.
or boat, or bowl-they failed because
Of their clothing. and they had to sit
by and see the wise woman have a jolly
time. IN suitable clothing. Perhaps they
have learned a lesson, perhaps not: but
the wise woman IS getting the full benefit
Of her holiday because she brought sim
pie, tubbable dresses. made short and
worn with pretty accessories. She has
enough clothing TO change twice each day
and not become noticeable by wearing
one frock too often, and she can join
in any OF the simple amusements OF the
place without feeling underdressed.
The average man detests fashionable
dressing in the summer. He submits
to It with good grace during cold wealth
er The average woman snatches at
any opportunity TO wear good clothes
and she misses a deal OF the enjoyment
men and in life. Expenses should be
light In the summer when, as a. matter OF
fact. they are unusually heavy. Summer
finery can eat large holes IN ones in
come. and summer living is liable 20
bankrupt all those who have not
mastered the art OF elimination. The
small cost OF fuel is uverbalanced by
the price OF food, and there is no differ
ence worth mentioning between summer
and winter wardrobe unless one eschews
fancy clothing
It is not to be wondered at that the
wage-earner signs for a brief change
from the dull drab Of her life. but II she
can only put away the temptation 70
buy clothes she can use nowhere else and
go to an unpretentious farmhouse where
summer boarders are kept she can have
fine holiday AT a small cost She will
not have hops and music and formal
dinners for which she must dress. but
she viii find pleasant companions Of both
sexes and deal Of enjoyment out Of
doors. She needs such a holiday, but
II She has set her heart upon show she
VIII endure much to carry out her wishes
She will not mind the necessary plnching,
before and after the holiday, and she
viii hold her own with women OF leisure
who will be her companions for a brief
season. Wage-earners are clever and
sometimes well educated. and Initiative
TO a degree, and when transplanted TO
strange sell they have no difficulty in
taking root. For proof look through the
social set in any Of the large cities.
