1t is when you have a severe cold
that you appreciate the good qualities
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs.
Frank Croker, Parma, ILL.,, writes
"Our fve-year-old son Paul caught
a severe cold last winter that settled
on his lungs and he had terrible cough
ing spells. We were greatly worried
about him as the medicine we gave
him did not help him in the least. A
neighbor spoke so highly of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy that l got a
bottle of it. The first dose benefited
him so much that l continued giving
it to him until he was cured"

A Hint to the Aged

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in
bed for one or two days they would
recover much more quickly, especially
if they take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. There would also be less
danger of the cold being followed by
any of the more serious diseases.

THE Tuscania was conveyed by
British ships exclusively. The
American convoy vessels are equipped
with a device by which the presence
of submarines can be detected. 1t
was stated in one of the dispatches
relating to the sinking of the tras-
part that "the British ships are being
supplied with the detector used on the
American boats as rapidly as possi-
bic" Perhaps if the British vessels
which were acting as escort to the
Tuscania had been so equipped the
sinking of the transport might not
have occurred. And that is another
way of saying that if the Tuscania
had been American conveyed the sub
marine would never have claimed her
as victim. This is not said to the
discredit of the British navy, however,
but as evidence of the lead the Amer
lean navy has been taking in the in
vention and application of protective
measures against this menace of the
seas. The depth bomb, so greatly
feared by the submarine, is another
United States invention, and there are
many others the public will hear of as
the war against the submarine shall
progress.

SWITZERLAND has suffered ex-

whose letters have been published

The Prussians, while gorging them
selves on little republics, brag that
they could occupy this city the first
day" AS to the Swiss army, sit
could be swept aside and France en-
tered before the remainder of the
Swiss could be modified" We should
worryl According to an employee of
the Emmett sawmill, who is a native
of Switzerland, Hindenburg and Lu-
dendorff, if contemplating such an
enterprise, have the surprise of their
lives waiting for them. He says that
Switzerland long ago adopted univer-
sal military service, has we'll trained
army, strong Notifications, and that
the Prussians would never get out of
Switzerland alive if they were once
TO get in. This was the reason, and
not the Alps, why Germany poured
through fiat Belgium rather than
through Switzerland against France.
The Prussians knew better than to
tackle such proposition.

CURRENT COMMENT.

ssTF the French line holds the Ger
mans back until April or May
my prediction is that nothing can
stop the allies from breaking through
the German lines" The foregoing
statement is credited to General Per-
shing. Americans have had the feel
ing that if Pershing gets strong
body of troops and starts forward
he will not stop as twice the allies
have stopped when, from later adj
vices, few pounds more steam would
have put them through. In the re-
sumed Somme offensive last April,
from all accounts, the allies were
through, but were halted, and Gen.
Byng broke through this winter, but
not having anticipated such miracle,
was not prepared to make the most of
it. The American idea is that if Per-
shing ever gets a chance to go through
he will go through to the other side.

tuitious advice than any other mortal

him what he ought to do and how he
ought to do it. Sometimes he be-
comes slightly confused, but he keeps
in fairly good humor all the time. He
invests in cows for milk and butter,
and when he sells the calf to conserve
milk, he is told that it is crime to
sell a young calf that might grow
into 1500-pound steer. He gets a
