To Stop Cough in Church.

Every woman has experienced the
modification of one of those exasper-
ating, hacking little coughs which
tickle the throat and seem to grow
worse the more one tries to overcome
them
They always come upon one Just
at time when the kindly cough drop
has been left at home and 1t Is i'm
possible to procure the saving sip Of
water.
Many a woman has hastily left her
seat in church with a red face and
the echo of hacking little cough fol
lowing her down the aisle and into
the vestibule, when the trouble
might hnve been conquered in very
simple way.
A cough drop Is not at all essential
to the stopping of a tickling cough.
A bit Of paper. torn from the corner
of a hymn book leaf or an available
pamphlet or leafiet, will answer quite
as well as the bit OF hoarhound or
Hcorice, for the action of the throat
muscles in masticating the bit of pa
per and the consequent flow Of saliva
soon eases the cough, and by the time
the paper Is reduced to a pulp the
cough will have eased, and ones ner.
vousness will be entirely gone.

About three months are spent by the
