Danger Signal

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help
put out the fire? 1t is much the
same way with cough. A cough
is a danger signal as much as a fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop fire bell
when it is ringing, but should cure
the disease that causes the coughing
This can nearly always be done by
taking Chamberlain's Cough REM
edy. Many have used it with the
most beneficial results. ,Itis espec-
tally valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows bad
cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind,
writes: During the winter my hus
band takes cold easily and coughs
and coughs. Chamberlain' s Cough
Remedy is the best medicine for
breaking up these attacks and you
cannot bet him to take any other"
Obtainable everywhere.

CAN BOAST NOBLE LINEAGE
Johns" Have Distinguished Them
selves In the World In Countless
Variety Of Ways.

The name John is one of our best,
also one of our oldest. 1t is found in
nearly all languages, and no matter
how disguised, from Juan to johann
mes, it is almost certain to be identi-
fed. The Johns have a magnificent
family tree. 1t is instructive to trace
the genealogy. There was an apostle
named John, and also John the
Baptist. There have been 20 popes
and one antipope by the name of
John. Three kings of Aragon and
CASTLE, one at least of Bohemia.
numbers of Portugal, France and
England have borne the name of
John. There was John Sobieski, the
greatest of the Poles" There was
John, surnamed Lakeland, who was
forced to sign the Magma Charta.
There was John the Good. Running
down the famous list we find also
John the Fortunate, John the Per-
feet, John the Fearless, John the
Constant. Was there ever an ignoble
John?
Then there was Jack OF the Bean
Stalk fame; also Little John, who
was not little, but who, on the con-
trary, was tall and strong and who
was one of the most impudent fol-
lowers of Robin Hood. If old King
John gave England the Magma
Charta, John Hancock helped to give
us our Declaration of Independence
If John of Poland distinguished
himself on old battlefelds, Sir John
French bears up the name today. If
the historical and symbolical Johns
seem too numerous we might add
John Rockefeller and John Condor.
And how about John Doe?
