Stop Night Coughing
This Simple Way

Peon1e who have persistent. an
moving coughing spells at night, and
who through loss Of valuable sleep
are weakening their systems and
LAYING themselves open to dangerous
infections, can stop their distressing
trouble promptly by a very simple
treatment. Hundreds who nave
hardly been able to rest at all for
coughing, have gotten their full
nights sleep the very first time they
The treatment is based on a re-
markable prescription known as DR..
Kings New Discovery for Coughs.
You simply take a teaspoonful at
night before retiring and hold 1t in
your throat for Is or 20 seconds be-
fore swallowing it, without follow
ing with water. The prescription
has a double action. It not only
soothes and heals soreness and irri-
tation, but it quickly loosens and
removes the phlegm and congestion
which are the direct cause of the
coughing. The result is that you
usually sleep as soundly as a babe
the very first night, and the entire
cough condition goes in very short
time.
The prescription is highly recon-
1nended for coughs, chest colds,
hoarseness and bronchitis, and is
wonderful for children's coughs and
spasmodic croup-no harmful drugs.
Economical, too, as the dose is only
one teaspoonful. 1t is on sale at all
good druggists. Ask for

Dear Miss Flo:
Is it correct for the brides brother
to act as best man at the wedding?
The groom has no near relatives. ~
Is Tuxedo considered formal enough
for a church wedding which is to take
place at six o'clock?
Thank you, L. b.
The groom should choose for his
best man the person most closely rel
ated to him or his best friend. 1t is
not necessary that the best man be a
relative of the groom, and if he par
ticularly wishes, he may have the
brides brother, although it is rather
unusual.

Dear Miss Flo:
Is it proper for a girl to ask gen.
tleman to meet her outside her home,
when conditions there make it i'm
possible for her to have him call at

S. w.
Your question is rather difficult
for me to answer As a general thing,
a gentleman would not like the idea
of being forced to meet a girl outside
her home. AT the same time, If you
make clear explanation, he no doubt
will understand. Are you quite sure
that it is impossible for you to have
him call at your home and that you
are justified in meeting him outside?
Dear Miss Flo:
Is it proper to wear wrist watch
