If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help u
put out the fire? 1t Is much the same
way with a cough. A cough IS a
danger signal as much az a fire bell.
You should no more try to suppress
1t than to stop IRE bell when 1t is
ringing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing. This can
nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial
results 1t is especially valuable for
the persistent cough that 50 often
follows bad cold or an attack Of the
grip. Mrs Thomas Beeching, A Andrews,

oh, Christmas is jolly time,
When forests hang with snow,
Ard other forests bend with toys,
And lovely Yule logs glow!
And Christmas is a solemn time,

To all men, near and far.
But not alone at Christmas time
Come holiday and cheer,
For one who loves little child
Hath Christmas all the year.

a tonnage OF $50, 900 have come under
