'In November, 1911, had a severe cold
and la grippe, which left me with a bad
cough. My lungs and shoulder blades
hurt so / couldn't sleep and l finally had
to give up my job and was ordered to
change climate. In April, 1912, I began
taking Milks Emulsion. On the second

Milks Emulsion costs nothing to try.
Milks Emulsion is a pleasant, nutritive
food and a corrective medicine. It re-
stores healthy, natural bowel action, do
ing away with all need of pills and phys
les. 1t promotes appetite and quickly
puts the digestive organs in shape to as
simulate food. AS a builder of flesh and
strength Milks Emulsion is strongly rec
commended to those whom sickness has
weakened, and is a powerful aid in resist
ing and repairing the effects of wasting
diseases Chronic stomach trouble and
constipation are promptly relieved-usu-
ally in one day.
This is the only solid emulsion made,
and so palatable that it is eaten with a
spoon like ice cream. Truly wonderful
for weak, sickly children.
No matter how severe your case, you
are urged to try Milks Emulsion under

with you, use it according to directions,
and if not satisfied with the results your
money will be promptly refunded. Price

BOSCHEE'S SYRUP.

A cold is probably the most COM
mon of all disorders and when neglect
ed is apt to be most dangerous. Sta
tistics show that more than three
times as many people died from In
fuenZa last year, as were killed in
the greatest war the world has ever
known. For the last fifty-three years
Boschees Syrup has been used for
coughs, bronchitis, colds, throat ir-
ritatiOn and especially lung troubles.
1t gives the patient a good nights
rest, free from coughing, with easy
eXpectOratiOn in the morning. Made
In America and used in the homes of

COL. JACK CHM DEAD;
he WAS HARD FIGHTER
A Typical Kentucky Colonel Of
the Old Bowie Knife
School.

Lexington, Ky, Feb. 2.-Col. Jack
Chinn, one Of the most noted ttirfmcn OF
twenty years ago in America is dead after
long illness from heart disease and COM
plications.
He was formef State Senator and
leader in Democratic politics and mem

Commission, which body ho was instru-
mentsl in creating. He also was ono OF
the first Kentucky lawmakers 70 urge
adoption of the pari mutucl system oi
betting on races. He retired from the
turf several years ago.
Jack Chinn was a typical kentucky
Colonel of the old bowie knife school.
He had been the hero of . score of dos
pcrate encounters with his famous spring
back blade, and such WAS his propensity
for combat that the Grand Jury of Fay
cite county about twenty yrsra ago
found IN indictment against him AS
a common nuisance.
The Colonel had his ideas Of when ,

Il would never use knife on gentle

with the softness Of a caress in his eyes.
Col Chinn was a red hot politician
and close friend and supporter OF SEN
ator Joe Blackburn, Col Phil Thompson,
for whom he named his son, the well
known turfman Of today, and Governor
Goebel who fell into Col Jacks arms
when shot from ambush by an assassin
on the State House grounds at Frank
fort
1t was the colonel who guarded tho
doors of the Kentucky Senate when the
Blackburn deadlock was on many years
ago. SO grewsome had been the stories
in circulation concerning Chinn and his
long knife that il was regarded as bali a |
Blackburn victory when he was appoint |
ed assistant sergeant ut arms.
Chinn was for many years official |
starter Of races on the Kentucky tracks. |
He was a breeder of race horses at bis /

was the leader of the State Fox Hunting
Association.
He was about 80 years old at the time

TITO people who have handsome
homes or arc setting out to
make them, we have word to
say in this advertisement.
To people who, without an at
tempt at furnishing in the grand
style, desire to set in each room one
Jewel, perhaps more than one, which
may shine out all the more for its
palmer surroundings, TO become an
heirloom that shall express to a
future generation the true taste and
sense for beauty possessed by their
forefathers-
We have the same word to say:
This February Sale brings an IN
rivaled choice of the finest furniture
at the lowest prices for which furni-
ture of the kind can be bought any
where.
We have said this before in diff
ferent words, but it is worth repeat
ing, because it embodies the great
underlying features of the Sale:
Unequaiied choice. unquestion-
able quality. economies that ring
true!
Its displays are an education in
the equipment of homes-homes of
many different characters.
THE fact needs no emphasizing
that it is a Sale remarkably
strong in the dependable, tasteful,
practical and medium-priced kind of
furniture for which thousands of
the home-makers are looking.
But life is not all bread-and-but-
ter.
1t has it's glorious, its artistic and
its sumptuous side, even In the use
full things of the home, which can
serve homely purposes with state
ly dignity that insensibly raises the
standards of all those associatlng
with such fine surroundings.
Aren't you as sure as If you had
been there, that the captivating
"Bobbie Burns" he who sang that
Feather beds are gran, painted
rooms are bonny," was one kind of
man, in his manners and even his
ideals, when he was in the splendid
drawing-rooms and dining-halls of
the baronial mansions to which his
genius gave him the entree; and
quite another when back in the
peasants cottages, there to rub
elbows against mud walls, rude
settles, and all that constitutes
comfortless rusticity?

TOUR walls and roof have never
II made a home, but given the
right kind of people within them,
the rest is matter of furniture.
And we have the furniture for
the splendid homes as well as for
those more modestly planned.
Rest assured every American gets
a splendid home as soon as he can;
and we are helping by having the
splendid furniture ready:
The palatial things, in such va
riety and such beauty as were never
assembled before in America;
The odd pieces, the treasure bits,
the quaint conceits of master
craftsmen;
The pieces redolent of romance
and chivalry and baronial halls.
The pieces that trace the cultural
development of American society
from its earliest Colonial days.
At this time, more than ever be-
fore, the Wanamaker Sale is the
great furniture market OF the day.
1t is a feast of arts and treasure
mine of opportunities.
For, however rich it may be, how
ever desirable, however hard TO re-
place, every suit and every piece of
this fine furniture is for sale now at
a reduced price:
A price that we believe is lower
than any such thing can be bought
for again for many year, and GER
tainly at a lower price, in 80 cases
out Of a hundred, than willbe asked
for anything of similar quality in
any other sale.
Here's something else that uus
overheard yesterday on the Fifth

dining-room: the Seventh for its un-
equalled exhibition of suits and
pieces in wicker and enameled, hand
decorated wood
But had any one but a half-an-
hour to devote TO the Sale, and a
keen appreciation of beauty, the
part of the Fifth Floor fronting on
Chestnut Street would be the part
that must absolutely not be missed.
