Whooping Cough.

Thisis very dangerous disease, par
ticularly to children under FIVE years of
age, but when no paregoric, codeine OF
other opiate is given, easily cured by
giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Most people believe that it must run
its course, not knowing that the time
is very much shortened, and tn at there
is little danger from the disease when
this remedy is given. 1t has been used
in many epidemics of whoopipg Cough,
with pronounced success. 1t is safe
and pleasant to take.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Sears Roe buck and company last night rcf.erted the sale to Julius Rosenwald, presi- dent or the company, of certain of It's Chicago real estate for $16, ,J0O. GOO and the gift of 50,000 shares of stock from MT. Rosenwald, thus permitting the company ito go through this period of readjustment .ith its cap ital unimpaired and with a small surplus"
 MT. Rosenwald alrea iy has made the first payment of 25 Der cent or S4.000,000 on the real estate in ca sh and Liberty bonds
 Mir. Rosenwald's gift to the com pany of 50.000 shares of it's comm. n capital stock, having a par value of S5,OOO,O00 is on condition that the said shares be not sold for less than par and that he be given the option for period of three years, to I,ur- chase these shares from the com pany at par, for cash
 A. H. Loeb, vice president of the 1 company, said of the action:
 "The price which Mir. Rosenwald paid for the property reflects the
 value as determined by independent appraisal, which, by reason of ap- preciation over many years, is far 1T | excess of book value. No expense | in the transaction was incurred by ! the company for bonus, commission | or brokerage. The company vii have the use and occupancy of tn, property for 20 years, and, no doubt

VERDE EXTENSION
 NOT ID OPEN UNTIL FREIGHT RATES CUT

The United Verde Extension cop per mines will not resume operations until a material reduction in freight rates has been made. according 10 the emphatic statement of James s. Douglas, owner of the United Verde Extension.
 Mir. Douglas was in Phoenix be- tween trains yesterday attending bankers meeting. He had not heard anything authentic regarding the opening of the mines at Bisbee, and was inclined to doubt that they will resume work on February l.
 q cannot tell you when the United Verde Extension will resume opera tions, because l cannot tell you when the freight rates on copper are going to be reduced" he told a represen- tative of The Republican. "The two go hand in hand. so far as I am con- cerned."
 reduction would be made within the next month he shook his head doubt fully.
 "A slight reduction will be made soon, I understand, but it will not be enough to induce us to open the mines. The industries of the state have been the butt for all kinds of laws during the last two years We've been taxed for roads and what-not until we are tired of it. and something must be done to remedy these conditions before there can be any thought of. the normal resumption of work at the mines. Certainly. believe in good roads, . he replied, in answer to that ques- tion, but not to the extent of par alleling roads through sections where the burden of taxation is increased beyond a reasonable earning capaci- | ty of the lands lying contiguous" Pressed for a statement on the time he thought would elapse before the mines would be opened, hs stated that this would be impossible for him to make.
 I'd really like to give you som, definite information on this subject, he said, flor I know that there ar, | many people in Arizona who ar anxiously waiting for the news. Bu l can't tell you, because I don't know | myself. I've heard reports that thu mines at Bisbee are going to opei on February l, and I've read abou 1t in the papers. but I haven't hat any authentic advice about it."
 Asked if he. himself, would no like to have the mines running h. said that under the right condition nothing would give him greater sat isfaction, but that under presen conditions they were better closed Asked if that was not a pessimist' view. he smiled.
 "Pessimist?" he repeated the word Not I! The state of Arizona ha a glorious future before her. Ther
 are few people in the state wh
 appreciate its wonderful natura resources, or that the developmen
 of those resources are only in tn
 infant stage"
