WITH PARMlNT SYRUP. SAYS
THIS OLD FASHIONED COUGH
REMEDY is BEST.

We are told that the old time RENE
dies are best and invariably contain
less harmful yet better medicine than
those which are in use today. This
being so, undoubtedly the following old
fashioned recipe which is quick acting
will be welcomed by many as there
seems to be a regular epidemic of
coughs at the present time. Secure
from your druggist l ounce Parmint
double strength), take this home and
add to 1t q quarter pint of hot water
and 4 ounces of graduated sugar, stir
until dissolved. Take 1 tablespoonful
four times a day. No more racking
your whole body with a cough. Clogged
nostrils should open, air passages of
your head should clear and your
breathing become easy. Parmint syrup
is pleasant to take, easy to prepare and
costs little. Every person who has a
stubborn cough hard cold or catarrh in
any form should give this prescription
n trial. There is nothing better.-Adv.

role, there comes the news that Lasky's

WONDER how many of my
friends know that riding in the
engine cab of fast train Is the
~ hardest kind of hard work."
asks Helen Holmes, who is seen
in daring railway pictures.
There is little physical exertien
about it, but the physical and mental
strain Is terrific. That is the chief
reason why railroad companies seldom
give their engineers long runs. One
hundred and twenty five miles is about
the standard stretch. The photoplay
public knows, of course, that I am COM
petent to drive a locomotive, for the
screen has shown me doing it--and
how easy it looks!
but that's a deception. When
ride in the cab of fast engine, say
at the speed of 60 to 80 miles an hour,
whether 1 am at the throttle or on the
firGman's seat, the peculiar sensation
feel on a perfectly straight track Is
that the engine is standing on its rear
wheels and climbing, as though the
pilot-never, never say 'cowcatcher'-
were pointed skyward. Then when we
strike q curve, even a very slight ono,
the sensation is that the wheels which
take the outside of the curve have left
the rail and the locomotive Is topping
over on its side.
THE first time I experienced that
sensation my heart for a couple Of
seconds stopped beating, and under the
fear that swept me 1 smothered in my
| throat. That was one of the few times
in my life when 1 was genuinely fright
ened.'

The members of the Hayti
High School are getting out the
first annual ever issued in the
history of the county, and the
Herald is doing the entire job,
even to the binding under it's own

which we will be proud of. The
staff of editors for this annual is
composed of the high school
members, and they are sparing
no effort to make it a success.
They are using the best half tone
illustrations that money can buy,
and they are worthy of your as!
sistance.
This book is being printed on
double gloss book paper and will
consist of 100 pages. 1t will be

Your Attention Again.

Last week we sent out 21S no.
tees of past due subscriptions
and we are getting in lot of re-
newals. Is your name among
them? We do not want to lose a
single subscriber, but paper and
labor costs money and lots of it,
therefore we must insist that
you pay up. AS stated last week,
we must and will cut off every
one of those who fail to renew by
the first of May, not that we are
afraid to carry, but merely from
necessity. Some are too far for
rs to extend credit under the
postal laws, and as we have to
pay the cash for our goods we
shall have to have cash for our
paper. We want every one of
you who are in arrears to the
Herald to renew, and would eX-
tend credit to you if we could,
but as said before, we have to
pay cash for our paper and labor.
