re- THE HOUSEWIFE

Madam, if your husband is like most
men he expects you to look after the
health of yourself and children.
Coughs and colds are the most com
mon of the minor ailments and are
most likely TO lead to serious diseases.
A child is much more likely TO con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever Wnen
it has a cold. If you will inquire into
the merits of the various remedies
that are recommended for coughs and
colds. Won will find that Chamberlain &
Cough Remery stands high in the es-
tinsation of people who use it. 1t is
prompt and effectual, pleasant and
safe to take, which are qualities espe-
cially to be desired when medicine
is intended for children. For sale By

The Palm Beach county grand jury
could not find any true bill against
the Bradley brothers, who have been
operating plutocratic gambling
joint at Palm Beach. The truth of
the matter is that many of the peo-
pie in the vicinity of Palm Beach are
direct or indirect beneficiaries of the
Joint, and don't want it closed. This
Ia all the more reason why Governor
Trammell should continue his efforts
to break it up. When an evil has at
tanned such proportions that it can
openly defy the state law, it is time
for extreme measures to be used
against it.

1t was paying $50 to 800 year for
street arc lights and the price for
power use was eight cents a kilowatt.
Two small electrical plants were es-
tablished. The cost of street arc
lights dropped about half. The cur
rent was sold by the city from its
small plants at three cents. A heavy
loss was predicted. Instead of that
the plants more than paid expenses
Mayor Baker proposed sale of 81
