Why Colds Are to Be Dreaded.

1t is not the cold itself but the SER
ious diseases it so often leads to that
makes a common cold by far the most
dangerous Of any of the minor all
ments. The cold prepares your system
for the reception and development of
the germs Of pneumonia, consumption,
diphtheria and other germ diseases
The quicker you cure the cold the less
the danger. To accomplish this you
will find Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
most effectual. Obtainable everywhere.

GOOD PRISON RECORD.

Speaking of the Allen offer, Governor
Alexander said: THE report made to
the board of prison commissioners is
to the effect that Allen has made an
exemplary prisoner and that he is en-
deavoring to start life anew. He ap-
parently has but one desire and that
is to get back to his family at some
time in the future. While he has his
faults, for which he is now being pun

Allen is engaged now in driving
team for the penitentiary. He worked
for some time on the state farm lands
in the Gem irrigation district. His
health is good and he displays the same
jovial spirit which won him friends in
his better days. The former treasurer
has never made advances for "a pardon
since his incarceration. The old pardon
board considered the matter of par

COAST PATROL
TO Be BROKEN
UP ON COAST

Portland, Me, July 3l.-The young men
who form the Naval Coast patrol in this
section have got to either go to work or
go to war. as one of them expressed it
yesterday. The government has decided
to discontinue most of the work of the
of men for the regular navy and tran
sport service, and will take the coast pa
troll fellows first. They have the option
of going into the regular navy to be sent
wherever the necessity Of the case re-
quires their services, or of receiving hon
orable discharges from the coast patrol
and standing their chance of being draft
ed for army service. There are about $50
of the coast patrol men in this section.
and while enough of them will he re-
tanned to form two crews for one boat,
one crew 10 serve by day and the other
by night. the great majority of them will
he given their option as to the change
they will take. One of the officers ex-
pressed the opinion Yesterday that about
915 Of the men would 90 into the regular
army. If given the opportunity and the
others would probably choose the other
horn Of the dilemma and would If draft
ed, have to 60 into the army. The order
to make this change IS expected to come
down the line at any moment as It is al
ready in force at some points to the west
ward Of this city.
