SAFE WAY TO TREAT
THAT STUBBORN COUGH

Have you a cough that is worrying
you? You know that it should not
linger on so, yet you feel hesitant
about going to the doctor. for fear he
might diagnose it as something more
than a cough.
If it is only cough and you take
prompt measures TO rid yourself of it
you need not worry. Try Dr. Che
neys Expectorant that has been the
household remedy for over sixty
years when any of the family suf-
fered from coughs or colds, or even
from bronchitis, whooping cough,
asthma or Group. 1t probably is only
a cough, in other words, an outward
manifestation of some weakness in
your respiratory organs.
Dr. Cheney's Expectorant will fer
ret it out mighty quickly. Don't fool
around with cough dope that merely
smoothes matters over for few days.
Use DR.. Cheney's Expectorant and
have the satisfaction of knowing that
you have taken the proper measures
to eradicate that cough by getting at
and correcting its cause.

to find a way for the farmers to meet

which is in good repair.
We have travelled a long way from
the old conception of government as
merely defensive and policing agency !;
and regulative, corrective. or equaliz-

a special nature, is often of the most

the First Congress passed tariff act

of manufacturers; but protective
tariff always has been defended as a

only shook her Silken locks that they
might glisten in the sunlight and held
her head higher than ever as her
green sash fiuttered in the breeze.
But one day when Pumpkin Vine
had forgotten all about the unkindness
of naughty Miss Cornstalk. down fell
something close beside her.
Pumpkin Vine now had large vel
low pumpkin of which any vine should
have been proud. but she did not brag
about its gold. She knew that other
vines had golden pumpkins and that
ii was not the only beautiful thing In
the world
But what was II that lay on the
ground beside her? Pumpkin Vine
looked and there was Miss Cornstalk,
proud and naughty no more. for her
silken tresses were gone and her
green sash and all that was left of
her former glory was long stalk
with husks withered and dry.
Now was the time. you think, for
Pumpkin Vine to have revenge; but
not in the way you may think did she
take it. Very softly she spoke to poor
fallen Miss Cornstalk. "The sun is
nice and WARM, even If the nights are
COOL" she said. "and it will not be
long before you will be taken into
nice warm barn, so do not feel so
sad.
You are very fortunate to be able
to see so much of the world, for from
your lofty place you must have seen
many things 1 have missed and am
sure you will see many things down
here that will make you glad you
came"
Miss Cornstalk looked at Pumpkin
Vine and saw the big golden pumpkin.
''You were right. Your day of glory
has come and you are my equal" she
sighed, "and you should have been
queen of the field instead of me, for
you know how to be kind to those who
have been unkind to you, and the real
queen is the one who rules herself
first"
Poor, foolish Miss Cornstalk: while
she was beautiful she had no time for
wise thoughts, but when her beauty
was gone she found out that beautiful
deeds count for more than silken
tresses and naughty manners.

THE FRIENDLY PATH
BY WALTER I. ROBINSON

GIVE ARE not especially
~ concerned about how you
feel when you enter our store,
but we are extremely anxious
TO know how you feel when you
leave"
This sign greets the eyes of
customers entering one Of the
big, successful stores in an
eastern city. 1t is an indication
OF the new attitude many en-
gagged in commercial business are
assuming.
There was period following
the armistice when in virtually
all big cities many of those en-
gagged in selling found business
so brisk that they did not deem
it necessary TO keep the patrons
smiling while they separated
them from their money. Too
many OF the customers, in fact,
did find enjoyment in spending,
and they may be partially
J blamed for the indifference of
merchants to please. But, with
! the drop in business and profits,
it is encouraging to find a re-
birth of the old-fashioned regard
for courteous and square deal
ing. Such sentiment as that ex-
pressed in the quotation given
above is evidence that. willingly
or unwillingly, those engaged in
business desire to re-establish
old-time friendly relations with
those who trade with them.
With the changed attitude
there is certain to come higher
regard for principle, upon which
, in large measure the happiness
of business people is dependent.
There should, therefore, be no
wide regrets among those who
have to reduce prices to such an
extent that profits decreased rea-
sonably below the peak level.
Not alone because of the greater
happiness which results from
honest principles In business,
but also due to the satisfaction
of greater volume in business, as
sured through the law of dimin-
fishing returns, should business
people be thankful that they and
their customers are coming to
meet again on more friendly
terms.
Let everyone remember these
words of SHELTON:
Our principles are the springs
of our action: our actions, the
, springs Of our happiness or mis-
cry. Too much care. therefore.
cannot be taken in forming our
principles"

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
BOARD"

THE resources of a language
- for the expression of thought
are frequently increased by at
tributing to the same word a
number of different meanings.
Thus we have ''post"-from the
Latin pono, II place'-showing
MP in such words as postage"
''post-haste," ''post-office" and
the like, while "head' and
court are others OF the same
type. But, of all these, the
most interesting is board" orig
inally connected with broad"
and applied to that form of
timber which is characterized by
its breadth rather than its
thickness.
Several boards manifestly 20
to make up a table but, in the
old days. a single plank, rather
fiimsily supported, was sufficient
for this purpose. We, therefore,
have the use OF the word in the
sense of the table itself-the
festive board''-and also the
meals. board and lodging" The
significance of the table is also
apparent in the use of the word
in such titles as Board of Trade,
Board of Commerce and the like
all of these bodies meeting
around or sitting beside a table.
Again. board is specifically
used 10 denote the plank cover
ing Of a vessel, and in this
sense. gives rise to new group
of phrases. Of which aboard"
and "above-board' are typical.
The paper-maker. too. has his
technical uses for the term. To
him it signifies the stiffest and
thickest-the most board-like-
OF his products. and ''card-
board is the result.
