To 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 common of the
minor ailments and are most likely to
lead to serious diseases. A child is
much more likely to contract diphtheria
or scarlet fever when it has a cold. If
you will inquire into the merits of the
various remedies that are recommended
for coughs and colds, you will find that
Chemberlain's Cough Remedy stands
high in the estimation of people who
use it. 1t is prompt and effectual,
pleasant and safe to take, which are
qualities especially to be desired when
a medicine is intended for children.

Y. M. c. A. for Community.

On last Thursday evening there were
assembled in the court house some
twenty five business and professional
men in answer to call issued in be-
half of the Y. M. G. A. movement. Mr..
Blakey as representative of the State
Committee laid before the conference
the plan of Community 7. M. c.. A.
with rented quarters. He dwelt at
length upon its efficiency in the COM
munity where it was properly carried
on and emphasized the fact that the
failure Of many Y. M. C. A. organiza-
tions could be traced to lack of leader
ship and efficiency in the secretary and
not directly to rented quarters. After
the plan had been presented and dis
cussed its good qualities were so ap-
parent that it was unanimously adopted
to launch publicity campaign in order
that all might hear of its merits. AS
an evidence of the good faith of those
present the sum of $26. 90 was subscrib-
ed to pay expenses of such campaign.
The speaker assured the conference
that the State Committee would closely
cooperate in assisting the local COM
mittee in collecting data, newspaper
articles, cuts, etc. for use in campaign
and in addition would set about in
