# You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it il that many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is p1ain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like

HOME BUILDING CAMPAIGN

The home is the worlds great
est savings bank. Industry and
thrift are attributes of any man
who owns a plot of ground and
builds a home on it.
Homes yield the highest inter-
est of any bank in the world.
Besides being a paying invest
ment in financial way, home
creates greater earning ability.
The home owner is a citizen Of
the community, H. is interested
in seeing property values in
crease. He is also a better work :
man.
1t is estimated that one million
new homes are needed in the
United States. All realize to
some extent how urgent is the
, need for more homes. Building
is delayed in the hope that soon
labor conditions will become more
favorable.
Waiting for reduction in con-
struction costs is wasting time,
for prices of materials are not
likely to decline until there is a
reduction in wage scales. Price
of building materials is made Up
of labor costs plus the cost of
raw materials. Production and
transportation of raw materials
are labor items. There can be
no drop in selling prices without
the corresponding drop in pro-
duction and transportation costs.
Therefore. it would seem that
people In Stafford should get busy
now and build new homes and
not wait for prices of building
material to drop. What Stafford
wants now more than anything
else'is more homes good, rent
able houses. The towns popu-
lation would increase rapidly if
people who want to live here
could find a home to live in.
Let's build now.

Why Colds Are Dangerous

You are often told to beware of a
cold" but why? We will tell you;
Every cold waakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who
contract pneumonia first take cold.
The longer a cold hangs on, the greater
the danger. especially from the germ
diseases. as ascold prepares the system
for the reception and development of
the germs Of consumption, diphtheria,
scarlet fever and whooping cough.
The quicker you get rid of your cold,
the less danger of contracting one of
these diseases. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has a great reputation as a
cure for colds and can be depended
upon. II is pleasant to take. dat

INDIAN REVOLUTION
FEARED IN BRITAIN
Propaganda Spread Among
Classes Hitherto LoyaI-Bol-
Shevik Plots Suspected.

LOndOn-Dispatches are reaching
the newspapers bere Of an alarming
situation in India and danger of q
revolutionary uprising in the autumn.
The government has issued a state
ment that no such reports have come
to it, but newspapers insist that such
unofficial advices have been received.
The first Information was given by
the Star when it printed in sensational
fashion statements that information
of the intended uprising in the autumn
mad reached the government.
1T Is considered by the authorities
at home to be more than probable"
SAID the Star, that organization in
Turkestan of a Red force to attack
Persia and Afghanistan is but part of
a big plot by which 1t is hoped to end
our power in India. The opinion is
expressed that should the whole Boil
shevik plot mature our present forces
in India would be insufficient TO cone
with the rising"
The Daily News understands that
evidence has come to hand to show
that revolutionary propaganda is he
ms spread among classes In India
which In years gone by had been free
from suspicion - particularly among
the Sikhs, who from the days of the
Mutiny have been cOnspicuously Ioyal.
ut is this wider diffusion of revolu-
tionary propaganda that may be Boil
shevik In its origin" says the inform
ant of the Daily News, who can speak
with a certain amount of authority.
'But my impression is that fully rs
per cent of 1t is local in It's origin and
has nothing whatever to do with the
activities Of the Bolsheviks. So far as
one can tell this unrest is a sort of
feeling which is rather In the air than
definite revolutionary note, but there
appears to be enough fire behind the
smoke to make authorities feel a lit
tie anxious"
