Don't Let a Cold
Settle on Your Lungs

Many cases of Lung Trouble can be
traced directly to a severe cold which
has been neglected and which, as a re-
suit, has affected the lungs If you
have persistent cough or cold, take
warning before it is too late. Eckman 5
Alternative is most beneficial in such
cases and has been the means of com
pletely restoring to health many per.
sons who had serious lung trouble.

This confirmed the previous belief
that the conflict has settled down to a
test of strength between the allies and
the Germans artillery.
1t was admitted that ,ae allies had
failed in all their attempts to take the
German positions by storm.
The kaiser's trenches are marvels of
ingenuity and the allies have lost fear
fully in charging them.
Accordingly, it appeared, the deci-
sion was reached to reduce the teutonic
defenses with artillery before hurting
infantry and cavalry forces against
them again.
The Germans, it was fully recognized,
would not permit themselves to be an
initiated in this way without a desper
ate resistance, and as their cannon, like
the allies, is wonderfully effective, an
artillery fight such as the world has
never witnessed before was looked for,

LAFFERTY WOULD LIKE
TO SPEND MORE COIN

The campaign manager for A. W.
Lafferty, independent nominee for con
gresham, was informed by Secretary
OF State Olcott today that candidate
for office could spend % per cent of his
annual salary for campaign expenses
but only 10 per cent of this after the
nomination was received aud prior to
the general election. a provision of
the statutes is that 10 per cent of the
annual salary may be spent before the
primary election and 10 per cent after
ward and before the general election
for any nominee of the recognized par
ties. Mr.. Lafferty maintains that his
friends nominated him for the office
at no expense to himself and that he
should have the right 10 spend 25 per
cent of his salary regardless of the
division. AIr. Lafferty was defeated
for the nomination on tae republican
ticket and chose to run as an independ
ent candidate.
