Avoid Sedatiye Cough Medicines.

IF you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines that
contain iodine, morphine, heroin and
other sedatives when you have cough
or cold. An expectorant like Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is what is needed.
It cleans out the culture beds or breed
i-g rlaces for the germs Of pneumonia
ana other germ diseases. That is why
pneumonia never results FROM :. cold
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
used. It has worldwide reputation for
its cures, 1t contains no morphine or
other sedative. For sale by all dealers.

SMALL BOY PLAINLY DRESSED
Perfection of Cut and Workmanship
Demanded, Though Materials Must
Be Inconspicuous.

The clothes OF the well-dressed
small boy grow palmer and palmer;
though more attention is bestowed
than ever before on their perfection
of cut and workmanship. Linen, per-
Gales and galateas are the best choice
for play frocks or sailor suits, and for
the formal costume, white serge or
mOhair, or heavy white ottoman silk
may be used. = little boy of six, who
has big brown eyes and dark hair
bObbed of in the familiar Buster
Brown style, has had made for sum-
mer wear six silken suits, all in the
picturesque sailor style, with very full
blOuses over very short knickers.
Two of the suits are of white tub silk
and with these go flowing sailor ties
of black silk. One suit is OF a bluo
and white tub silk and is accompa-
MED by a dark blue tie; another suit
of tan and cream silk has tie Of
warm amber silk. A gala suit is OF
red and white tub silk, with q red
necktie and white collar embroidered
with red anchors The suit de luxe,
however, is one of white faille silk,
embroidered on collar and sleeve with
white chevrons and having a tie a
pale blue surah.

some of continents Attitudes.

The maximum difference in eleva-
ton of land in the United States is
14,777 feet, according to the United
States geological survey. Mount
Whitney, the highest point, is 14,501
feet above sea level, and a point in
Death Valley is 276 feet below sea
level These two points, which are
both in California, are less than nine
ty miles apart. This difference is
small however, as compared with the
figures for Asia. Mount Everest
rises 29,002 feet above sea level,
whereas the shores of the Dead sea
are 1920 feet below sea level, total
difference in land heights OF 30,292
feet. Mount Everest has never been
climbed. The greatest ocean depth
yet found is 32,Os8 feet, at a point
about fifty miles north of the Island
of Mindanao, in the Philippine islands.
The ocean bottom at this point is
therefore more than eleven and a
half miles below the summit of Mount
