The Cause Of Colds and a Safe Cure.

A common cause of many colds is
the sudden checking of the unconscious
perspiration by exposure to change of
temperature. Colds, whether taking the
form of Coryza with sneezing, running
nose, and perhaps sore throat, or with
chilly and feverish symptoms, should
never be neglected in the earliest
stages, serious illness often results
from such neglect.
1t is well to get early to bed, to get
the body well warmed, and most i'm
portant to have the bowels move freely.
There is no safer or better remedy to
use at the beginning Of a cold than
at. F." Atwood's medicine. Two to
four teaspoonfuls will quickly relieve
congested conditions, drive out impure
ties from the system and ward of fur
Their trouble. Always keep bottle in
the house. Any dealer viii supply you
for thirty-fve cents. II you have
never used them, write today for FREQ

A FITTING MEMORIAL.
To Perpetuate Memory of Loyal
Women OF the Civil War.

Women OF the Civil War.
A monument to the memory OF the loyal
women OF the Civil war will become an
enduring reality il Congress enacts into
Law joint resolution introduced by Hon.
Elihu Root, OF New York, in the senate,
and Hon. James L. siayden, OF Texas, in
the House. This project, which has lain
dormant in the minds OF the people for
almost half century, has been put into
concrete form by the generosity and pa
triotism OF the commandery of the State
OF New York of the Military Order of the
Loyal Legion of the United States.
1t is not proposed to make the monu-
ment merely q remembrance OF persons
and deeds, not merely memorial OF life
less stone or bronze, but a noble building,
sympathy, OF humane and patriotic de-
votion that lived in the women to whom
this monument will be erected. This
spirit is the spirit of the Red Cross, and
for this reason the memorial is TO be given
to the Red Cross, in perpetuity, for its
headquarters in Washington.
Toward the carrying ont OF this pur-
pose, the commandery has pledged itself
to secure and give the sum of 500, coo, on
condition that Congress appropriate an
equal amount as q contribution OF the
United States toward the purchase OF q
suitable site in the city of Washington,
the Improvement OF the grounds, etc.
Thus the memorial will he made truly ma
tionsl, the tribute of all the people TO the
sacred memory of the loyal women OF the
war. The Red Cross, ON its part, is to
agree to secure an endowment fund, the
