A cold in the summer time, as every
body knows, is the hardest kind of a

est way is to go to bed and stay there
If you can, with bottle Of "Boschee's
Syrup" handy to insure a good nights
rest, free from coughing, with easy ex-
pectoration in the morning.
But If you can't stay in bed you must
keep out Of draughts. avoid sudden
changes. eat sparingly Of simple food
and take occasional doses of Boschee's
Syrup. which you can buy at any store
where medicine is sold. safe and eff
cient remedy, made In america for more
than fifty years. Keep it handy.-Adv.

 have just got to 'ret out few thoughts or bust" so I'll fire away at you.
 My thoughts are of a great many German soldiers of so-called re- nowned fame'i who are expressing their intentions of becoming citizens of the United States.
 Do the American soldiers over here object to receiving such men as cltl- zens of their country? Yes, seflouSly object: because these men have proved themselves worthy anu brave soldiers No: we admire and respect any sol dier who is fearless of death in an effort to carry out his duty We love such men as citizens of our country Then, you ask, why our objection It is because by their act of seekinS 7 citizenship within the United States they are proving themselves towards of the lowest degree. Right at th1s time. when Germany has this war debt on her shoulders and in need of all her true citizens, is the time when true loyalty is proven.
 Any man who is. guilty in such d time of need, of desperation. of leaV- ing the burden of debt to rest upon the shoulders of his family is yellow from the head down and does not know the meaning of the word bravery. Hal the United States been defeated in this war, would any American sol dier have sought to desert his further duty, prove himself unloyal and untrue to the loved ones at home who have fought practically as hard fight as he has fought, smiling through hard ships and sufferings as yet untold, by seeking refuge anywhere? No; we would return to take up our battle by the side of our comrades at home and prove our loyalty to them and to our country
