How Diphtberia ia Contracted

One often hears the expression,
"My child caught a scvere cold which
developed into diphtheria," when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly suscep-
tible to the wandering d%iphtheria
germ. If your child has a cold when
diphtheria is prevalent you should
take him out of school and Keep hlm
off the street until fully recovered, as
there's a hundred times more danger
if his taking diphtheria when he has
a cold. When Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given it quickly cures the
cold and lessons the danger of diph-
liberia or any other germ disease being
contracted. Adv.

HOLD ON TO YOUR (.
LIBERTY BONDS

There has been good deal Of dis
appointment because Liberty Bonds
have stayed SO long below par While
most Americans would have pur-
chased those bonds from patriotism
alone, there was at the same time the
promise of a good investment. With
Ike bonds still quoted far. below face
value, there is feeling Of disgust
and disappointment which leads many
holders of Liberty Bonds to sell them.
Selling war securities now for any
thing short of an emergency need for
cash is very foolish thing to do.
Even IL they should never rise above
par-which they undoubtedly will do,
and perhaps sooner than most persons
believe-they are redeemable at par
at their maturity. Dollar for dollar.
they will almost certainly be worth
more in purchasing power then than
row. There is no question of Uncle
Sans credit. The bonds remain OF
unexcelled security. The interest,"
rate, though not high, is unusually
good because it is so sure. Injudl-
cious and hasty sale of those bonds
row only helps to drive them still
lower for the present.
The small holder tempted to get rid
Of his bonds now, should take heed
Of the fact that powerful financial in
terests are swapping them up eagerly
because they recognize them as safe
and wholly desirable. Nothing will
help to send the bonds more quickly
on their upward climb than the sim
pie act Of holding on to them now -
