DangeI Signal

If the fire bell should ring would
YOU run and stop it or go and help
to put out the fire? It is much the
same way with a cough. A cough is
a danger signal as much as IRE
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop a fire bell
when it is ringing, but should cure
the disease that causes the cough
ing. This can nearly always be done
by taking Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. Many have used II with
the most beneficial results. 1t is es-
pecially 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. Chamberlains Cough
Remedy Is the best medicine foi
breaking up these attacks and you
cannot get him to take any other.

SEE NO NECESSITY FOR
CARY EIGHT-HOUR BILL
Commissioners Send an Adverse Re-
port on the Measure to
Congress Today.

An adverse report on the Cary bill
to regulate the hours Of labor on Dis
trict government contracts was sent to
Congress today by the Commissioners.
The bill would establish an eight
hour day for such contracts and require
the District to determine the fact as to
previous observance of the eight hour
law by a prospective bidder whenever
objection was made by any one to award
Of contract on the ground that the
bidder had violated the law.
The Commissioners say there is no
necessity for the measure, as in all con-
tracts for construction of buildings
they are required by act Of Congress to
include a provision that no laborer
shall be permitted to work more than
eight hours in any day.
IF the>Commissioners were required"
states their report. before accepting
the proposal of any bidder. to determine
the question of fact as to whether he
had previously required laborers or
mechanics to work more than eight
hours, it would result in serious delays
in the execution Of public work and in
all probability increase the cost of
work.
