The Moonlight School Idea.

In today's Commonwealth appears
an article Of considerable length
bearing on the Moonlight School
Movement. Not only should the un-
educated in our midst de interested,
but the educated as we'll. Regard
less of your occupation or standing,
you should cooperate with those in
charge to bring to the knowledge of
all the illiterate adults in your COM
munity the benefits of the under
taking. Education and religion go
hand in hand. Without knowl-
edge life to many is a burden. We
owe it to ourselves and our unfor-
tunate ones to see that this work is
carried on to success. The Cover
nor's proclamation and the program
of organization also appears in this
article. Be sure to read every word
of it and then interest yourself in
the campainn to bring every litter
ate adult of your community to a
realization of the great opportunity
that greets him. The success of
the movement is conceded if you will
do your part. Will you?

When Baby Has The Group

When a mother is awakened from
sound sleep to find her child who
has gone to bed apparently in the

she is naturally alarmed. Yet if she
can keep her presence Of mind and
give Chamberlain Cough Remedy

produced, quick relief will follow and
child will drop to sleep to awaken in
the morning as we'll as ever. This
remedy has been in use for many
years with Uniform success. OBJ

Personal Responsibility.

In France if you have fire and it
damages your neighbor's property.
you pay his damages. In Germany,
if you have fire, the first caller is
a policeman and he takes you to jail
There you have to prove that you are
not responsible, through negligence,
or any act. otherwise you have to
pay the damages and the cost of the
work of the fire department. That is
the reason the fire loss is So per capita
in Europe as opposed to $33 per cap
