Dollars and Cents

Counting it only in dollars and cents, how much did that cold cost you? A man may not al- ways stop work when he has 8 cold, but perhaps it would be better if he did. It makes about ten days to get completely rid of a cold under the usual treatment. That time can be much shorten ed by taking Chamberlain s Cough Remedy and proper care of yourself. in fact, bottle of this remedy in the house is a mighty good investment during the winter and spring months.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the-ear. There is snly one way to cure catarrhal deafness. and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is tniamed you have umbling sound or irn- closed, Deafness is the result.

Nor does anyone expect that building material prices will go down to where they stood be- fore the war. Hence, all things considered, many owners will unquestionably decide that it is more advantages to build now than to wait

TAG YOUR DOG;;'
WAGONS ON way
Annual Clean Up Cam.
paign Against Unlicens-
ed CANNES Begins.

The yearly anti-dog campaign start
ed this morning. The dog catcher
and his wagon got busy about noon.
Last year very little was done toward
Kidding the city Of the great number
Of dogs which wandered homeless and
uncared for over gardens and yards
and porches proving themselves a
great nuisance. 1t was impossible to
hire help in the catching Of the dogs
on account of the war and as con-
sequence they have accumulated to
such an extent that the city Is over
run with them.
Mayor Bowen said this morning thai
he had been receiving complaint from
many people and intended going after
the Objectionable animals immediate
ly. Effort is being made to hire men
to do the work OF catching them with
long poled nets but it is very difficult
to get anyone to undertake the job,
not only because the work is consid.
cred rather undesirable from the
standpoint Of the job itself but be-
cause Of the serious objections made
by all dog owners when their pets are
touched.
There probably is no greater com
motion at any celebrating than there
is during the dog catching time. Po'
lice dislike the undertaking. Nobody
wants to run the wagon. Nobody
wants to do the catching. But" said
the mayor, "the works got to be done
and we're going to get at it." The only
way to save pets from deathat the ere
matory pound is to have them tagged
with license and kept at home. Even
with license, should they prove q nuis
ance, the owner can be compelled to
keep them at home. Without license

COAL OPERATORS
. REGRET CLOSING
. Of LABOR OFFICE
George H, Richardson Has
Been Great Help in
the Region.

Because the war appropriations IS
exhausted the Fairmont office, and
in fact, all offices over the country oil
the United States Employment ser
vice will cease to function after Sat
urday, March 2. This is keenly re-
gretted by the coal industry in the
Fairmont field.
Word was received here from L. B.
Spauu, state director of the work.
for West Virginia, stating that after
that date the work would be discon-
tinued until Congress would provide
money to carry it on probably in
June. Falrmont coal operators and
in fact all industries here regret to
see the work go by the board and
appeal will be made to individuals in
the community so that the office may
be continued for several months until
Congress provides funds.
The primary work of the office is
to secure positions for returned SOL
diers and unemployed men generally.
Thus far the Fairmont office procured
employment for probably $50 people
since it's doors opened about a month
ago. The local office. which under
the direction of George II. Richardson
has been very efficient. and people
hero feel that this is really one Of the
few things that the government has
done especially for the poor mans
benefit.
