The difference in buying one of the
most efficient, latest and up-to-date
cough and cold remedies (which can
be made at home), and buying the
old, ordinary, ready-made kinds, is
that with the new one you get all
pure medicine, instead of buying a
large proportion of sugar and water,
besides paying for bottles, corks and
labels: and it usually requires 2 to 3
bottles of the od-fashioned, ready

sumption today of the investigation
into the sinking of the Lusitania by
German submarine, Capt. w. T. Tur.
ner, who was in command of the Lusi-

into the sea. The captain admitted
further that some of the boats were
strapped on the tops of others.
When asked by Baron Mersey if the
increase in the number of small boats
on liners since the time of the ri.
'anic disaster was of any advantage
Can't. Turner answered that he did not
think so.
Chief Steward Jones declared he had
not seen any life belts on the upper

A Little Lay Sermon.
From the Kansas City Journal.

From the Kansas City Journal.
america made a magnificent
ending of the year that is draw
ing to a close and it faces the
coming year with a smile, happy
in the consciousness that it has
done its duty as a nation and
may hold up its head with the
rroudest. It's voice has been for
peace on earth and good will to-
ward men. Not a single act has
pressed down the scale wherein
are weighed the deeds Of nations
so that the sword sank and the
plowshare, the emblem Of peace
and plenty, rose in the balance,
overborne by the weight Of war
like steel.
Ever during the year did the
balance swing toward the side of
Justice and friendship among the
nations, so far as America was
concerned. The national con-
science is as clear, as the ma
tion's acts are passed in review
and the answer is marked on the
recording scales. The old year
can leave no heritage more prec-
ious. The new year can receive
no charge more sacred.
1t is not without deep signifi-
