If the fire bell should ring would

same way with a cough. A cough Is
a danger signal as much as a fire

suppress 1t than TO stop fire bell
when it is ringing. but should cure
the disease that causes the coughing
This can nearly always be done by
taking Chamherlain's Cough Remedy

able for the persistent cough that so
often follows had cold or an attack

Mystery of the Egg.

An egg for one thing is a succession
of bags bagged up in one another, a
series of envelopes enveloped in one
another. bags and envelopes without
joints, seams or openings. Puzzles.
ships built up and full riggea in bot
ties. flies in amber. are simplicity itself
as puzzles when it comes to how these
bags wrap one another up. bag in bag.
In hens egg there are eight or nine
or ten Of the sacks in sacks ensacked.
Every body thinks he knows what an
egg is, but after weary reading and
study in many languages he begins to
learn that nobody knows a tiny frac-
ton of all the world of secrets and
mysteries hidden in an egg. las full
of meat as an egg is not the true
comparison. but "as full of mystery
as an egg" is nearer the truth. -Ex

shaded acreage is little larger than
last years and the yield of desirable
tobacco will be much heavier than last
year, according to the present outlook.
So that the trade may reasonably ex-
pect considerably larger amount of
high-grade wrapper tobacco in the 1917
shaded crop than the 1916 yielded.
Cutting of sun-grown tobacco should
be in progress by the last of the week,
though the amount of tobacco grown in
the open ready to harvest is as yet
small.
Buying in the field is still under full
Roadway and candor compels the state
less discretion than was the case last
in 1915 nor 1914 did buying in the fields
assume the proportions OF the present
craze. Thousands of acres of Havana
Seed have been contracted for and the
Hartford Courant is authority for the
statement that several hundred acres
of Broadleaf tobacco have been bought
at from 18 to % cents a pound in the
bundle. The Courant estimates that
third of the new Broadleaf crop
has been contracted for.
Perfect tobacco weather has prevail
ed the past week. Hot, sunny days
have performed wonders and have
added tens of thousands of pounds to
the weight of the new crop.
