How to Get Quick Re-
lief From Group
Nothing As Efficient As This Time
Tested and Proven Method.

Although many valuable discover
les have been made in tie medical
world during the last 20 years, and
many new preparations have been
placed on the market, nothing yet has
been found that is as sure ard as
quick to bring relief from Group as
Mentholatum.
MENT HOLATUM has oeen used for
over 20 years for this purpose, and
it is extensively recommended by
physicians. This, together with the
fact that it has millions of users, is
ample proof of its efficiency. You
can rely on Mentholatum absolutely
TO prevent or break up Group. Even
the worst cases of spasmodic Group
are relieved in 5 minutes from the
time of application. The method of
use is very simple: Rub liberal APP
plication over the throat and chest,
and cover with a hot flannel. 1t Is
really remarkable how quickly this
brings relief. Every mother should
be familiar with Mentholatum. and
should have it on hand for Group,
colds, etc.
The Mentholatum Co., Buffalo, N.
T. will gladly send a free sample to
anyone who will write for It,
Mentholatum is on sale in all drug
stores in 25c and soc opal jars. 1416

This is the Worst Time
of the Year for Colds
Extreme Care Should Be Taken to
Get. Rid of Colds Caught Now.

Never let "A cold get hold on you,
especially at this time of the year
for colds caught now are especially
lasting and dangerous.
To get rid of cold is a simple
matter if you take it in hand prompt
~. Take a GOOD, natural laxative
such as oli1e oil and use external
applications If Mentholatum freely
rub it on the chest, snuff it up the
nose, apply literally around the nos
trils, over the brow, temples and over
the throat II the throat is at all af-
fected Hot fannels over the chest
and throat make relief quicker. This
treatment relieves quickly and works
promptly In breaking the hold OF the
cold on the system. 1t leaves no af-
ter effects because there has been no
internal medication.
Doctors use and recommend Men
tholatum extensively for colds, Group,
sore throat, tonsilitis, etc, and the
additional fact that it has millions
of users is ample proof of its effi-
cheney.
Let the Mentholatum Co, Buffalo,
N. Y, send you a free sample. They
will be glad to do it If you write for
it. Mentholatum is sold and guaran-
teed by all druggists In 25c and soc

WAITING is HARD TO DO
Most Of the Chagrn and Remorse We
Get for Ourselves ls Due to
lmpatlence.

Wait! Is there anything in the
world so hard to do? And is there
anything so necessary to learn? Most
of the chagrin and remorse we get for
ourselves is due to impotence. If we
had waited the clouds would have
passed, If we had waited the fatal
word would not have been spoken, If
we had waited love would have turned
again.
To wait does not mean to be idle or
indecisive. 1t means, time your ef-
fort! What Is impossible now may be
easy at six o'clock. About four-ifths
of any success is the ingredient OF
time. To know when, is fully as i'm
portant as to know how.
Wait for the boy to grow! What
you cannot lead him to at ten he will
come to at twenty.
The best things in the world grow.
They mature and ripen. You can build
a house in few days, but 1t takes
tree years to be complete; and tree
is more wonderful than a house.
The higher the grade OF your
thought and feeling, the more you
need to learn to wait. In education.
in government and in religion espe-
cially we have to reckon with what
Emerson calls THE slow maturing Of
the human mind"
read somewhere the whimsy say
ing of a wise woman, that there were
three things that amused her: The
first was climbing trees to shake
down the fruit, which if left alone
would fall by and Of itself; the sec
ond was going to war to kill men,
who. in few years would all die nat
urally, and the third was that men
should run after women, when, If the
men would wait, the women would
run after them.-Dr Frank Crane.

WHERE WE NEED PROTECTION
Not Against the Autocrat, But the
outgrown Social Instltu-
tIon.

It is not the autocrat, but the out
grown social institution, against which
society requires protection. Not the
legislature or the executive, but the
constitution and the prevailing judicial
and administrative procedure, are in
the way of progress; or rather, carry
ing the analysis one step farther, our
difficulties are not so much with the
constitution and procedure, as with our
own reluctance to amend and modern
lie them. knowledge and conviction
have gone far ahead of existing me-
chanism and habit. The clash is none
the less real because 1t is not between
two distinct classes, between a ruling
class and a revolving class, for exam
pie; but rather between our own
selves Of tradition and habit on the
one hand, and ourselves of the present
environment and new standards These
conflicts with our own inherited tradi-
lions and habits are perhaps the most
exasperating and tragic of all.

Sickness Insurance,

Lloyd George, British chancellor OF
the exchequer, has published the pro-
visional draft of a scheme which he
hopes will be passed by parliament,
the fundamental provision of which is
compulsory insurance against serious
sickness and incapacity for work for
the whole laboring population of the
United Kingdom, whose wages are be-
low the sum of about $780,
The age limits are 16 and 70 years,
the latter being the age at which old
age pensions begin.
The minimum allowance will be
$120 a week.
The cost will be divided, the insured
paying one-half and the employer and
the state one-fourth each

First Century Find.

President Solomon Schetchter of the
Jewish theological seminary of Amer
ica has discovered Hebrew manu-
script in Cairo, Egypt, where it is said
to have been cherished with great
care for 1000 years by the Jewish
congregation.
It is claimed that the document was
written in the first century of the
Christian era.
1t has been translated by Prof.
Schetchter and published by the uni
versity press in England. 1t purports
TO be an address by religious leader
to his followers. The references are
held by George Margoliouth, custo-
dian of Hebrew manuscripts in the
British museum, to apply to John the
BAPTIST, and Jesus and Paul. John is
called a Messiah who led the people
TO mediate on their sins, Jesus a
preacher of righteousness, and Paul
scoffer-presumably because of his
dissent from Judaism.
The writer and his followers appear
to have belonged to sect, half Jew
ish and half Christian, which fed to
Damascus after the destruction of Je-
rusalem.
