Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly
to the occurrence of capillary bron-
chitis and pneumonia use cough med
icines that contain iodine, morphine,
heroin and other sedatives when you
have a cough or cold. An expector-
ant like Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is what is needed. That cleans
out the culture beds or breeding
places for the germs of pneumonia
and other germ diseases. That is
why pneumonia never results from
a cold when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is used. It has a world wide
reputation for its cures. It contains
no morphine or other sedative. For
sale by all dealers.

PACKERS GOVERN PRICES.
(Exchangel


Buyers of beef will be much inter-
ested to learn that ]. Ogden Armour
has chartered all the refrigerating
space in the Lamport & Holt ships,
which are the only vessels available
for transporting Argentine meat to
United States. A reporter OF the New
York Sun found Mr.. Armour ON We'd
nesday in the company of P. j. Poels
head of the Argentine packers, and
thus related what happened: "The
reporter asked Mr.. Armour If the
price of beef would not be higher.
The meat packer smiled and referred
the question to Mr.. Poels. Mr.. Poels
laughed and knocked Mr.. Armour's
hat off in sportive protest against the
latter's suggestion that he, Mr.. Poels,
should answer the question" What
charming incident! These great
men laugh and play pranks over the
thought that the removal of tariff
duties will reduce the cost of living.
The ultimate consumers who voted
for Wilson and tariff reduction will
also come eventually to understand
the point of the joke, although they
may fail to feel merry and knock
each others hats off in sportiveness.

DEATH OF HENRY DUNCAN
Continued from page u

fence.
Mr.. Duncan lived close to nature
when the country was new, and had
a keen eye for the wild game, wild
bees and fruits. Deer and turkeys
were friends of his, and he liked to
dispatch them as humanely as pos
sible by shooting them in vital spot
He loved to land big cat fish by hook
ing them through the bills. In the
honey season he loved to sit at the
edge of the woods and mark the flight
of the honey bees until he discovered
their course, and then shift positions
until he got the angle of their flight
and correctly located the tree in
which were the big lobes of honey in
the comb. In July he loved to gath
er the luscious blackberries grouped
about in the clumps of hazel brush;
in August the wild plums in "the bot
TOMS" and when the leaves were
painted in varigated colors he sought
the hazel nuts, the walnuts, and but
ternuts and the black haws. He low
ed the "husking-bees" and took the
same keen interest in the red ears"
as did the young folks; liked the
hickory nuts and apple cider in the
winter evenings, and made the young
people welcome in his home for fun
and games of every kind.
