Nature Cures, The Doctor Takes the
Fee.

There is an old saying that "Na-
ture cures, the doctor takes the fee"
but as everyone knows you can help
Nature very much and thereby ena-
BILE it to effect a cure in much less
time than is usually required. This
is particularly true of colds. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy relieves the
lungs, liquifies the tough mucus and
aids in its expectoration, allays the
cough and aids Nature in restoring
the system to healthy condition

none of us saw him Bob up. Would

Missori is so changeable.
On Bay street, this city, was the
wholesale liquor row. Hundred
houses selling whiskey. Today l
passed that way, and all but few are
empty. The South Express Company
discharged one hundred clerks, as they
are preparing to go out of business
as the liquor law played smash here
among the saloons.
We tourists all are hoping the
strike won't be put on as they say
they would like to go home when they
get ready to go home. The tourist
can live here as cheap as up north.
We will have to stay if the strike goes

Kryl and his fifty mighty musicians
would have turned green with envy
4, to have heard the initial concert Of
the combined Mcmillan Band and Or
chestra. At eight o'clock sharp the
curtain rose on the orchestra, which
entertained the audience for the first
half Of the evening with program
of marches, serenades and overtures.
The feature of its recital was the duet
by Harper Shoush and holland Fry on
the cornet and trombone, respective
ly.
After a short intermission the band
stepped forth in their new uniforms.
Their performance greatly PLEASED
the appreciative audience, and the
applause demanded many special num-
bers. This is the best band that Nc
MILAN has ever produced, and Capt.
j. c. Stoy and his followers are to
be credited as "some musicians"
The Boy Scout movement has crept
up from the grades and entered Nc
MILAN and the vacation plans of the
older boys. At meeting of the
boys Mr.. Robert Campbell, who will
supervise the scout work this summer
told of few of the treats in store
for the scouts in the near future. A
few was enough and upon a call for
