THE TELEPHONE TANGLE-f
the city council possessed more
knowledge, or more desire to attain
knowledge, the Automatic telephone
tangle could be Strengthened out with
benefit to the citizens of Chicago, and
the experience of Chicago would later
become a beacon light for the world.
The struggle for the possession of
the automatic by the telephone trust
is not for the actual tangible pro-
perty involved, but for the purpose
of establishing monopoly of the
telephone business here in Chicago
and elsewhere.
Perhaps some of the members Of
the council know what a monopoly
is. When it comes to practical mat
ters Immediately involving their own
business they are quick to see the
monopoly element and to fight. or EN-
brace it as their interests may direct.
But when it comes to the public in
teTest they are often blind. They can
give away the streets or alleys of the
city without a sting from their
consciences, and they can also con-
slider the giving away of the interests
of Chicago's citizens in the telephone
business with as little mental effort
as they would to expend a nickel to
relieve the wants of a beggar.
The probability is that most Of our
troubles come from ignorance. Ig-
nOrance of the facts of individual and
Of social life brings poverty and sick
ness and crime that affects us all,
and the council should be condemned

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with a cough, A cough is dan
ger signal as much as fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease tina causes
the coughing. This can nearly always
be done by taking Chamberlain'S
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. l +
is especially valuable for the most ben
efcial results. 1t is especially valuable
for the persistent cough that so often
follows a bad cold or an attack of the
grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, An.

Cough Remedy is the best medicine
for breaking up these attacks and you
