As to Brain Food.

The more brains man has the
more he is in need of brain food,
though not necessarily the kind he
would take in through his mouth. That
is, the best kind of food for the brain
is the kind we put into the brain in
stead of the stomach. There isn't much
use to take food for the brain we
haven't got, anyway.

Splendid Quality OF MercIfuIness

Mercifulness manifests itself in
two ways: First, in patience and for
bearance toward those who do wrong,
leniency toward those who fail; and
second, in ministrations of kindness
and love to those who are in need.
The first of these manifestations is
negative. The other phase of the quail
'ty is active and positive.-Rev. ]. Il.

DANGER SIGNAL.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the
same way with a cough. A cough
is a danger signal as much as a fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it 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 Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Many have used it with the most
beneficial results. 1T is especially
valuable for persistent coughs that
so often follows a bad cold or an at
tack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband
takes cold easily and coughs and
coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is the best medicine for beraking
up these attacks and you cannot
get him to take any other" OBJ
