Why Colds Are Dangerous

II is the serious diseases that colds
lead to that makes them dangerous.
They prepare the system for the recep-
tion and development of the germs of
influenza, pneumonia. tuberculosis dyp-
iberia, scarlet fever, whooping cough
and measles. Hou are much more like
ly to contract these diseases when you
have cold. For that reason you should
get rid of every cold as quickly as pos
sible. Chsmberlain's Cough Remedy
will help you. It is widely known as
cure for bad colds. AT

GUARDIAN PRIZE CONTEST
To Be Observed

There are two rules governing
the contest that should be i'm
pressed upon the candidates.
Should one member of a family
at this time cancel their subscrip-
ton, and the paper be continued
by another member of the fam
lily, it is NOT a new subscrip-
ton. There are cases where this
is done legitimately, but on the
face of it it looks like an effort
to give the contestant the extra
votes called for by a new sub
scription.
Also, when a candidate has
once entered the contest, she
must bring in at least two sub.

an inclination to play fair with
the paper.
Contest Fair One
Just word in regard to the
management of the contest. The
GUARDIAN guarantees its fairness
| in every respect. Votes, and
votes only votes fairly counted
votes based on the business
brought in-are all that count.
There are no favorites to be
played.
THE GUARDIAN guarantees the
fairness and honesty of the Cam
paign Manager not only through
personal knowledge of his char
acter, but from his newspaper as.
sociations of past years. Every
thing will be conducted fairly
and aboveboard. ~-
Sound Business Proposition
This is not a something for
nothing scheme. In fact, it is
not a scheme at all. Neither is
it a charitable undertaking on
behalf of The GUARDIAN. 1t is
a business proposition pure and
simple.
The object is to advertise this
newspaper and increase its cir
culation-to put copy each week
in every household in the terri
tory it serves. For this we are
willing to reward our contestants
very literally indeed, instead of
employing outside solicitors at
fancy salaries to accomplish the
same purpose. In other words,
WE ARE TRADING AT HOME,
and we are asking our people to
BUY A HOME COMMODITY,
People ask: Will it pay? Yes,
it will pay. Not in dollars and
cents perhaps, b ut there are other
dividends that newspapers want
that are not expressed by the
dollar mark. During the cam
paign h2etS of new subscribers
will be added to our list, and the
fair. square, progressive p1llcy
of The GUARDIAN will be adver-
tised very thoroughly. There
will be intense satisfaction in
that. Besides, the general good
feeling engendered will be al
most inestimable.
$4,000 Club Next Week
Tomorrow Saturday night
ends the big 100000 club offer,
and beginning Monday the offer
for the next week is Is, 900 eX-
ira votes for every 500 broughtir ir.
We want to urge upon all con-
testants the value of getting in
as many of these clubs of rs, 900
this week as possible. Remem-
Der this is the largest remaining
extra club vote offer. The fo!-
lowing week it drops to so, 900.
One club of rs, coo may mean the
gain or loss of $500 to you-the
difference between first and sec
ond prizes.
Explain to those to whom you
speak for subscriptions the value
of getting them NOW. Tell them
of the extra vote offer. In this
way lots Of your friends will give
you their subscriptions at once
instead of waiting until near the
close of the contest.
The Ballot Box
The ballot box has been placed
just inside the door of The GUAR
DIAN Office for theuse of the can
didates and their friends. All
coupons clipped from the paper
and as many ballots as you in
tend for publication must be
dropped into this box, which is
opened once a week by the man
agement in order to keep the
paper vote up to date, which
practice is followed until the seal.
