Getting Rid Of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of a cold is to take Chamberlain Is
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 be-
fore 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 re-
covered. It is better to stay in bed
three days at the start than three weeks
later on.

Des Moines, Aug. 1s-Governor
Harding believes his pardon Of Ernest
Rathbun, the Ida Grove rapist, is in
force, and he doubts Rathbuns guilt.
He believes that the District court
In Ida county had no power to revoke
and cancel IL
He holds that he only, as governor,
has power TO cancel the pardon and
then only in case he has been deceived.
He says no deception was practiced
on him by Rathbun's lawyer, George
II. Clark; he didn't pay any attention
TO Clark's statement or application for
pardon.
He says Clark did only what any
lawyer usually does In such cases.
He is investigating the case anew on
his own motion but refuses to disclose
what steps he has taken or intends to
take in the matter.
He says Rathbun is in the peniten-
tiary for perjury and not for rape, for
his pardon for rape IS still in force
and effect

year, confinement--unless the parole
board releases him before.
Governor Harding insists that his
pardon. given young Rathbun last
November. Is still In force and effec,
and that the rapist is wholly free and
untrammeled so far as the charge OF
rape Ia concerned.
Pardon Not Cancelled.
For the governor insists that the
courts cannot cancel the pardon. that
he alone has power 10 do that, and
that he can do 1t only in case he was
deceived into granting the pardon.
And he thinks he was not deceived,
believing that Rathbun's attorney,
George II. Clark. acted only as any
lawyer does in similar cases, and he
now entertains grave doubts Of the
guilt Of Rathbun.
The governor insisted that he hardly
read Clark's application for the par
don. did not rely on II, paid no atten =
ton TO II and was not deceived by its
statements. Part of the states ease
against Clark Is 10 show that he de-
ceived the governor in respect 10 the
pardon. But the governor testified he
paid no attention TO Clark's showing,
basing the pardon on the abstract.
Believing he alone and not the courts
can cancel the pardon issued to Rath-
bun, the governor holds that the young
rapist can walk out Of Animosa, a free
man, whenever the parole board de-
cldes 10 let him go.

sition at the state house few days
