This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is almost certain
to be needed before the winter is over
and results are much more prompt
and satisfactory when it is kept at

dication of a cold appears and before
IL has become settled in the system.
There is no danger in giving it to

To refute a statement made by Ben

that return to piece work by garment

sweatshops. an Invitation was issued
yesterday to the leading candidates for

night twice as many children were walt

he tossed twice as many pennies into
the air. His system worked so well that
when he died two years ago and his son.
the present owner of the business, sue
ceeded him, the son kept up the practice
of distributing pennies to his youngster
friends every night that it did not rain.
"I do this not only because l like to
do it," said Mr.. Goodenough, whose home
is in Eighteenth street and Bayside ave-
nue., Whitestone. i. l., "but because 1t Is
good business. These kids are better
than a watchman and they make it un-

VOLUNTEER TO ASK
FOR HOSPITAL FUND
Downtown Institution in Dam
ger of Being Closed Be-
cause of Debts.

Gen. Ballington Booth of the Volun-
teers Of America revealed yesterday that
Volunteer Hospital at Beekman and
Water streets is in danger Of being
closed because of financial straits and
because it is not to participate in the
funds of a s1.00O.o0o campaign carried
on by the Downtown Hospital Associa-
ton.
Gen. Booth said one mortgage Of
$65,GO0 is about to be foreclosed un-
less help is obtained, and there are other
pressing obligations against the hos
pital totalling more than $150,00O.
The Broad Street Hospital is to be
the sole beneficiary of tho Downtown
Hospital Association campaign, 1t is
stated by Volunteer Hospital workers.
and the Volunteer therefore Is left out
in the cold us Gen. Booth puts it. There
Is a surmise on the part of the friends
OF the volunteer Hospital tbst some OF
its own supporters may have responded
to the appeal for funds under the I'M
preston that they were helping the
Volunteer.
In an effort TO relieve this situation
the board of directors meeting In the
office OF william G. McAdoo made plans
to help the Volunteer out of its situa-
ton. Mr.. McAdoo consented to act as
honorary chairman of a campaign conf
mittee TO raise funds. Byron r New
ton, former Collector OF the Port. will
be in active charge of the campaign.
Offers of assistance already have been
-. 90 NJ McAdoo and Gen. Booth, and
a vigorous effort will be made to save
the hospital and to put it solidly on
it's feet.
Gen. Booth is building up perma-
nent advisory board. Gov. Miller has
agreed to serve as chairman of this
board, and up to this time the follow
ing have accepted appointments: Alfred
T.. Smith, Charles S. Whitman. Charles
NJ. Schwab and August Belmont.

vote for Walter Goodenough. not only
for Mayor. but for Grand Mogul of the
Universe, on the platform demanding the
unlimited coinage of one cent pieces.

politician, and probably never has had
his name in the papers before, is The
Man Who Gives Away Pennies.
Twelve years ago Walter Goodenough's
father, John l.. Goodenough, established
second hand machinery business in ss
Jay street, in the building that once was
the Assumption Library Institute. Most
of his stock was in the street. and two
or three days after he had started his
place he called in all the children he
could find. He made a speech to them.
He told them he liked them. and all that
but they must not play about among his
machinery, because 1t wasn't theirs, in
the first place. and in the second place
they might get hurt.
Then he pulled a handful of cents from
his pocket, flung them into the air and
