Res. rraatmant for colds.

Most ordinary colds will yield to
the simplest treatment" says the Chi
cago Tribune, "moderative laxatives,
not foot baths, free perspiration
and an avoidance OF exposure to cold
and wet after treatment" While
this treatment is simple, It
requires that those adopt
ing it must remain indoors for a
day or two, or a fresh cold is almost
sure to be contracted, and in many
instances pneumonia follows. Is 1t
not better to pin your faith to an old
reliable preparation like Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, that is famous
for its cures of colds and can al
ways be depended upon? For sale
by all druggists.

MEXICO MAY BE CONTROL

STATION IN GREAT RACE.
Whether Mexico win be control
station on the across the continent
automobile race is a matter which at
present is interesting local motorists.
The energy with which the contest
is being projected and the money tina
is behind it has made the race take
place in the front rank among 1903
contests. Robert Guggenheim, a mo-
tor enthusiast, told the directors of
the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific exposition
in Seattle that the best way to ad-
vertise an exposition in these days
was to have motor car run in con-
neetion. Then he gave $4,000 cup
for the winner and gave half of a
$40, 500 list of other prizes. The ex-
position is to open June 1st on the
signal Of President Taft. This sig
nal win also be the gun" for the
motor car contest.
st. Louis is to be one of the
control points and Kansas City an
other. The contest is not speed
race. Much of the distance the
cars will not be running more than
fifteen miles an hour. They win
not make more than $50 or 200 miles
a day at most. The whole trip prob
ably will take thirty days this be
ing the case Mexico or Moberly Will
be one Of the Missouri controls.
Mexicos motorists are making an
endeavor to gain this honor, but as
Moberly went after It first and is l4O
| miles from st. Louis that city will
most likely be chosen.

dition Of the roads through the West

"The only possible way to have put
off a vote on Statewide Prohibition
was for the legislature to pass the
County Unit law and the City Resi-
dence District law. The legislature
thus far has failed to pass either of
these laws. Nevertheless, the respite

most reasonable the liquor interests
could have asked at this time, had
those interests had any real appreci-

There is comfort in the knowledge so

Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills almost every wish in correcting
rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys,

passage. Corrects inability to hold water
and sealding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use Of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
inmediate effect of Swamp-R0ot is
snon realized. It stands the highest be
