the case of libel brought by d. P

the proceedings until Morrow has a
chance to tell his story to the court.

Mrs. Murray, chairman, reports that
before the day is over at least 225

leave them in care of the Boomers

Few Escape

There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are fortu-
nate who have but one and get
through with it quickly and without
any serious consequences. Take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
observe the directions with each bot
tie, and you are likely to be one of
the fortunate ones. The worth and
merit of this remedy has been fully
proven. There many families who
have always used it for years when
troubled with a cough or cold, and
with the very best results. 1t on
ly costs a quarter.

they are doing in this part of the
