Getting Rid Of Coda.

The easiest and quickest way to get
nd OF cold is to take Chamberlain's
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 serious danger
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.

Civilization will be wise if it shall
be in no hurry to liberate this GRIM
inal nation, until there is certainty
rather than presumption that it may
be trusted with freedom to act on
its own account. The peril that
France apprehends, and that Presi-
dent Wilson can see for the world in
turning Germany loose before the
German mental attitude is changed,
will be minimized if the people of the
United States shall remember; it will
be greatly increased if they permit
themselves to be lulled into forgetful-
ness.
