AND SURE WAY
TO CURE COLDS

A cold generally attacks the weak
est part, affecting the eyes and ears
in some and producing nasal catarrh
and throat troubles In others. A
cold is due to an Inflammation of the
membrane lining the air passages,
and may be promptly cured with a
little Ety. Cream Balm, which I'M
mediately relieves the inflammation
and all the distressing symptoms,
such as sneezing, coughing, running
at the nose and eyes, h~oarseness,
sore throat, fever and headache. One
reason why this pure, antiseptic
Balm acts so quickly is because it is
applied directly to the tender, sore
surfaces.
Even in severe, chronic cases of
catarrh, Ely's Cream Balm never
fails to quickly and effectually check
the poisonous discharge which clogs
the head and throat, causing the dis
gushing hawking, splitting and blow
ing of the nose. This remedy not
only drives out the disease, but heals
and strengthens the weakened mem
branes, thus ending catarrh.
Catarrh Is a filthy, disgusting dis
ease. Don't put up with it another
day. Get q so cent bottle of Ely's
Cream Balm from your druggist and
see how quickly you will be reliev-
ed. 1t is perfectly harmless.

Colonel Roosevelt had the gift OF
prophecy when he wrote these words
about Mr.. Taft in the campaign four
years ago:
The man to trust is the man who. like
Judge Taft, does not promise TOO much'
but who could not be swayed from the
path OF duty by any argument by any
consideration; who VIII wage relentless
war on successful wrongdoers among
railroad men as among all other men;
who will do all that can be done TO Sc
cure legitimately low rates 10 Shippers
and absolute evenness among the rates
thus secured, but who will neither prom
ise nor attempt to secure rates so 10"
that the wage Garner would lose MS
earnings and the shareholder whose
money built the road his profits. He will
not favor a ruinous experiment like gov
ernment ownership of railways; he VIII
stand against any kind of confiscation
of honestly acquired property; but he
will work effectively for the most eff-
cient type of government supervision
and control of railways, so as TO secure
just and fair treatment of the people as
a whole
