HOW TO CURE ALA GRIPPE COUGH

Stop and think! Reason and common sense
tell you that it is folly to grin and bear it.
Those racking la grippe coughs that wrench
the body ana cause soreness and pains in
the lungs yield more quickly to Foley's
Honey and Tar than to any other treatment
Forty years record of successes proves this.
For coughs, colds, Group and other distress
ing ailments of throat, chest, lungs, larynX
and bronchial tubes, you can find nothing
that will com pare with this reliable remedy.

The HYDE Park Bank begins the
year 1915 with larger deposits,
larger assets and larger surplus
than at the beginning of any year
in its history. It's assets have
reached very close to the Three
Million Dollar mark, being $780,
o84 20. It's deposits have almost
reached the Two and Thee
Fourths Million Dollar mark, be-
ing S2,o55,I52.IS. Its capital and
surplus have almost reached theTWo
HundredThousand dollar mark, be-
ing s1o2,Io456, or, counting the
stockholders liability, $4,000. the
Bank has a margin for the protec-
ton of deposltors OF S242,Io4 So.
The officials of the Bank state
unqualifedly that according to the
best obtainable information it does
n, t hold a single dollar of poor as
sets and yet before any depositor
could lose a dollar the Bank would
have to make losses of S242,IO4 sc
Safety rather than high rates OF
interest always has been and

of the Bank.
Since the beginning of the Euro

spoilage before complete sales can

many cases the distributor must
bear his part of the burden. The de-
partme nt's specialists think in many
cases losses and wastes are entirely
too heavy a tax on food distribution
and that the elimination Of unnec-

toward effecting permanent, sub

distribution as any re-adustment OF

The fact that large percentage of
these losses can be avoided by prop

The liking for either navy blue or
black is Increasing, and at a recent
smart gathering of semi-public
character it was noticeable that sew
en-eighths of the women wore frocks
in either navy blue or black taffeta,
serge or satin. But these women
like color and appreciate Just how
effective it is when properly con
trasted to dark or sombre hue. for
many OF them wore hats Of bright
red, white. purple or green. A gay
hat gives distinctive air to It's
wearer. especially when it is worn
with a frock of less noticeable color.
