Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract severe
colds and recover from them without TAX
ing any precaution or treatment. and a
knowledge of this fact leads others to take
their chances instead of giving their colds
the needed attention. 1t should be borne
in mind that every cold weakens the lungs.
lowers the vitality, makes the system less
able to withstand each succeeding attack
and paves the wayfor the more serious
diseases. Can you afford to take such
desperate chances when Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, famous for its cures Of
bad colds may be had for a trife?

In sad and loving remembrance of our
darling daughter, Ethel Pearl Jones, who
departed this life June IS, 1921.
Gone from earth, yes. gone forever.
Tear dimmed eyes shall gaze in vain,
We shall hear her voice. oh. never.
Never more on earth again.
And now our home circle is broken.
And parting thus fills us with pain.
We hold as glorious token
The bright hope of meeting again.
Dear daughter. could you speak to us.
And could you live again.
Our aching hearts would then be healed,
But this we wish in vain.
Our hearts are sad and lonely,
Our grief too deep to tell.
But time will come when we will meet
And all to you well tell.
Mother and Father.
You are not forgotten. Ethel dear.
Nor will you ever be.
For long as life and memory last
will remember thee
