A Judicious Inquiry,

A well known travelling man who
visits the drug trade, says he has
often heard druggists ask a Gus
toner, who wished to buy a cough
medicine, whether it was for a child
or an adult and if for child, they
almost invariably recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, The
reason for this is that they know
there is no danger from 1t and that
1t always cures. There is not the
least danger in giving it and for
colds, Group and whooping cough
it Is unsurpassed.

WHITE AND RED.
(By Frederick j., Hoffmnn.)

icy tFederlck il, HOfImAn.)
The game is as old as the ages,
One sided crafty and cruel;
Vice playing the part of virtue,
And virtue the part of a fool
But the mills of the gods grind slowly,
And pride goeth before a fall
There comes a day of reckoning,
When the wicked go to the wall.
The game is staked by the white man,
The stake is the Indians lands,
The gambler knows he Is winning,
For marked are the cards in his hands;
Robbed of the home of his fathers,
Fooled with promise and hope
He is lured by the scraps OF a treaty,
But made to be foully broke.
! sat one day in council,
Midst figures bronZed and brown,
Their faces seemed transfigured
MARRIED by O sneer or frown.
They were listening 10 a message,
To the heartfelt tale OF old.
That, regardless of a treaty.
Their lands were to be sold.
The white man is judge and jury,
And he SCOTS at the Indians need,
Instead of being the better,
He yields to the curse of greed;
He smiles at the Indians childlike faith,
For it suits the baseborn aims,
In the name of the law, to take his last,
To our country's deathless shame.
For more and better schools;
He asks for better grazing stock
And the white mans precious tools;
For doctors who can cure the SICK
And save a dying race;
solemn obligation
All scorned, in foul disgrace.
&as
I look upon the faces.
A wondrous scene of old;
1t seems the dead have come to life,
That the story may be told;
OF century of dishonor
OF a game of greed and lust.
Can 1t be that the Great White Father"
Will fail in his solemn trust?
Yes; a better day is dawning,
Justice will reign at last;
The gambling days are over, ~
And the evils of the past.
No longer does he stand alone,
For the right is on his side;
The Indian is progressing
With the turning of the tide.

When the early settlers came to the
western continent they had certain
ideas on BODYBUILDING which they had
brought from Europe. In England
the predominatfng type of architec-
ture was known as Georgian. 1t called
for simplicity and dignity and Ger
tain quaintness that made hospitality
the cornerstone of the home Once
established in this country the settlers
began to carry out this same scheme
Opment led to what is known as CO.
lonial architecture The colonial
home is as popular today, if not more
SO, than century ago, and there is
ne reason to believe that it viii lose
it's hold upon the people in the years
to come. For fundamentally it EN-
bodies all that goes to make the home
the center of life. Its delightful SIM
plicity, quaintness and comfort are ir-
resistible.
In the colonial home the entrance
is one of the dominating features Of
the exterior treatment. 1t is the EGst
important element in the facade Usu-
ally it consists of a white door with
Old-fashiOned knocker and narrow side
panels. If covered, the hood is sup
ported by white pillars such as those
shown in the picture This house is
an excellent example of colonial treat
ment and expresses very eloquently
the hospitality and comfort which are
found in home of this type. There
is something alIuring about the white
clapboard siding (white seems to be
the standard color of colonial houses.
