DEEP SEATED COUGH
CURED IN S HOURS.
New Home-Made Syrup.
(Cut This Out.)

From Boston Press.

Progress in medical compounds never
ceases, and now it is stated by prom
inent medical man that any deep-seated
cough or cold on the lungs can be actually
cured in five hours by the clock. Opium
and morphine have been resorted to in the
past. as relief measures. But now it is
learned that the system must be treated
to rid it of inflammation and congestion.
A tonic laxative cough syrup does the
work so quickly and thoroughly to be
almost magical. What heretofore has
taken weeks to cure can be accomplished
in hours Get this formula filled or mix
it at home and always keep 1T on hand;
One-half ounce fluid wild cherry bark.
one ounce compound essence cardiol and
three ounces syrup white pine compound
every half hour for four hours. Then
take one-ha1f to one teaspoonful three
or four times a day until the system is
purified and toned up. Give children less
according to age. One filling will usually
cure whole family, as the dose is small.

Weston
Bread

Is baked in one of the
most modern plants in the
West. The makers have
spent years of study and
time in acquiring the
knowledge to make such
perfect bread, yet it costs
you no more than ordin-
ary kinds. We do not
make the ordinary sc size
loaves because they do not
retain the moisture and
freshness as the larger
size will do.
Everything in the MAX
ing and selling of this su-
perior bread, is for the
best for you-even to the
care we take in wrapping
every loaf separately in
waxed paper.
If you appreciate the
cleanliness, the goodness,
the economy of Weston
Bread, you'll surely spare
yourself the trouble of
home baking. Try one
loaf.

teen cars of fruit-mainly apples

from the broad gauge cars to the
narrow gauge. for outside points, some

There are 50i boxes of fruit to

one month. This does not include the
local shipments, which have been, dur.
