Night Coughs

One of the disagreeable
features of a severe cold is
the constant coughing at
night. This keeps the suf-
ferer awake, destroys the rest
that he needs, and the con-
slant hacking, tearing cough
lowers his general vitality
and power of resistance.
Take. Sirolin before going
to bed land you will find that
the coughing is relieved, and
that you can sleep soundly.

Richmond's Segregation

In Richmond they have taken up the aues-
ton of segregating the colored population, In
n more enlightened manner, however, than
mas been done by some other cities. Finding
that the negro increase 46.5 per cent. be-
tween the census years 1900 and 1910. or nearl
as much as that of the whites, the city coun-
Gil looks with apprehension upon the erowding
ana tnsanitation which bound to prevail
increasingly within the narrow hounda ries of
the negro districts unless something shall be
done So the council proposes such an ex-
tension of the city limits may provide
sufncient room for the colored population to ex-
pand ana at the same time may promote tho
domicflary segregation of the white and colored
populations' Now. inasrnuch Richmond Ia
