Getting Rid of Colds

The easiest and quickest way to get
ria Of a cold is to take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its
value fully proven. No matter what
remedy you use, however, care must
be taken not to contract second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one, and there is a serious dan
ger Of this. A man Of middle age or
older should go to bed and stay in bed
until fully recovered. 1t is better to
stay in bed three days at the start
than three weeks later on.

Petrograd Gardens Were
Real Marriage Market

Business often plays an import
ant part in the matrimonial market,
especially in some parts of Europe,
and an old-time custom in Petro-
grad was once responsible for the
yearly pairing off of all eligibles.
On Whitsunday afternoon the
famous summer gardens were
thrown open for the marriage mart.
Girls and their mothers, bachelors
and their fathers-the entire popu-
lation, in fact-thronged the gar
dens for the purpose Of finding suit
able partners.
The girls put on their prettiest
clothes, and wore their prettiest
smiles. and as they promenaded to
and fro, they and their parents kept
wary eye for a suitable husband.
The girl frequently held some OBJ
ject of value in her right hand as
a symbol of what the aspirant might
be led TO expect in the shape of
dowry.
Sometimes it would be silver
spoons or a silver dish, or, in the
case of one of humble means, a
homely looking jar.
When a favorable impression had
been made, the suitor would ad-
dress the girls companion-prob-
ably the marriage broker or sales
woman whose business it was to act
as medium in these transactions
and particulars of his name, address,
age and prospects would follow in
due course.
The question of her" dowry
would then receive consideration,
and If the union was a suitable one
from all points of view, the mar
riage saleswoman received a fee for
her services.

THIS PROSPECTOR FINDS FIVE
TONS OF COAL IN HIS CELLAR

About six years ago, the building
was heated by furnaces, and the sup
ply of coal was bought When the
city team was installed, the coal was
forgotten and was allowed to stay
in the cellar, while the price went
up higher and higher. Finally Mr..
Chenoweth unearthed IL, or rather
unlocked it, and made a perfectly
good offer to the girls in his store.
He heard several of them telling
about the coal shortage, and imme-
diately offered the coal to them, free
of charge, provided that they would
get the means of transportation.
And now the girls are busy getting
the fuel home. 1t is whispered that
many a large knitting bag holds
something aside from wooden yarn.

In its dazzling magnitude the forth

For any other purpose than charity
and the noble Red Cross charity-it

It was all conceived and worked out
and executed by George C. Tyler who
spent three weeks, night and day in
the formulation Of the plan Though
several of the artists who will appear
will suffer extraordinary pecuniary
losses through sacrifices necessary TO
make the tour, no one has yielded more
