DEEP-SEATED COUCH CURED IN FIVE HOURS
New HOme-Made Syrup
 From Boston Press

Progress in medical compounds never ceases, and now it is stated by prom inent medical man that any deep-seated cough or cold on the lungs can be ac- tually cured in five hours by the clock. Opium and morphine have been re- sorted to in the past, as relief meas ures. But now 1t is learned that the system must be treated to rid it of in- f1ammation and congestion. tonic laxative cough syrup does the work so quickly and thoroughly as to be all most magical. What heretofore has taken weeks to cure can be accom- plished in hours. Get this formulE filled or mix it at home and always keep it on hand: One-half ounce fluid Wild cherry bark, one ounce compound essence cardiol and three ounces syrup white pine compound. Shake the bot tie and take twenty drops every half hour for four hours Then take one half to one teaspoonful three or four times a day until the system Is puri- fled and toned up. Give your children less according to age. One filling will usually cure . whole family, as the dose Is small.

 from Alabama.
 It will be pointed out to the absent ones that the immense acreage in the south can be purchased cheaper and vii produce as good harvests as any of the land along the Pacific slope or in Canada where a great deal of the exodus has spent itself. The movement to bring them back has spread among the rela lives here of those who have removed to the west
 They have been furnishing the names oi their relatives and blanks have beer sent west with the proper information on them about the southern situation The magnificent gains of the past few years, the great possibilities of the soutl at this time and the most minute infor- nation concerning the land has been sent broadcast over the west
 Already this has taken hold and in. quiries are being received by>~the pro. motors of the movement which leads td the belief that within the coming few years the great tide of people who went west will turn back to their home place and the south will come in to its agricul. tural own, through the people who lesi here years ago.
 The railroads which traverse the soutt are more responsible for the devastation of the southern rural districts, perhaps than any one single agency In the past few years, or in fact since the improved transportation conditions, the railroads have advertised cheap western rates thrown out alluring posters of golder harvests and promoted in the most zeal. ous fashion the tide to the west In this state, as in other southern states, they lihave gathered up family after family. r parties of 90, and ticketed them to unde veloped and frontier settlements to SC. cure the small passenger sale and to pop ulate the lines out there, which mus live principally from passenger receipts.
 The only defense that the railroads car make to their efforts to devastate the south immediately following the great conflict and up to the past few months is that the people were not made to gc and were free moral agents.
 The railroads at last have seen the erroi of their ways, and are taking a bold anc uncompromisng stand in this effort tc get old folks to come home. They oi course will sell the return tickets.
 The railroad immigration men have changed the first letter in the word lem igration" to immigration" and the, are assisting in the most business-liks way to get the same people back tha they induced to leave years ago. The south is rich in undeveoped terri tory, and if the railroads bring bacl to the south half the good people the, carried away they will have in a meas ure redeemed themselves from the mos indefensible censure that has yet been di | rected against them.
 It is probable many local people vii attend the "come back" movement fl Chattanooga Wednesday.

 In the last few years over 100000 per- sons have gone from the southern states to the trans-Rocky mountain states, as is to be seen in the gain of T per cent of rural population in those states, and a decrease here of IS per cent Of that 100000 persons there are great many from Alabama.
