Best Cough Medicine For Children

The season for coughs and colds
is now at hand and too much care
cannot be used to protect the chill
dren. A child is much more likely
to, contract diptheria or scarlet fever
when he has cold. The quicker
you cure his cold the less the risk
Meritol Cough Remedy is the sole
reliance of many mothers, and few
of those who have tried it are will
ing to use any other. This remedy
contains no opium or other narcotic,
and may be given as confidently to a

She Got Even With the Tax Assessor.
The United States is the only great
nation remaining which has not abol-
ished all personal property tax laws.
Mr.. A. J. Mock wages war on the sub
ject in a very interesting article in
the February American Magazine.
Some of the anecdotes the author re-
counts to illustrate his points are very
amusing, the following being an in
stance of one of them:
