your leaving the management of the

Tells How to End
Night Coughing

To quickly stop hacking, irritat-
ing coughing at night, a very SIM
pie treatment may be had that
often enables you to sleep the whole
night through undisturbed almost
at once.
The treatment is based on re-
markable prescription known as
DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Coughs. You simply take a tea
spoonful at night before retiring,
and hold it in your throat for 10
or 20 seconds before swallowing it,
without following with water. The
prescription has a double action.
1t not only soothes and relieves ir-
ritation and soreness, but it quick
1y loosens and removes the phlegm
and congestion which are the direct
cause of the coughing. So no mat
ter whether your cough is dry and
tight, or loose with much mucus,
the coughing soon stops, you can
usually sleep your accustomed time
without a break, and the whole
cough condition goes in very short
time.
The prescription contains absolutely
no narcotics or other harmful drugs.
Instead of merely benumbing the
nerves, it actually helps the system
to throw off the trouble in a perfectly
natural way. Furthermore, it is very
economical, the dose being only one
teaspoonful. It is highly recon-
mended for coughs, chest colds, tick
ling, hoarseness and bronchitis, and is
wonderful for children's coughs and

How the Reform Worked
By lRDIa 5. cob

When the Union troops under
Grant, early in the Civil war, took
possession of West Kentucky some
difficulty was encountered in con-
trolling the populace, for that end of
the state was a hotbed of southern
sentiment and most of the young
men had enlisted in the Confederate
army. General Grant issued procIa-
nations stating that no citizen
would be molested unless he under
took, to give aid and comfort to the
enemy.
In one town In the invaded district,
though, there was an elderly gentle
man whose sympathies with the
southern cause were especially out
spoken. Whenever word came Of a
victory for the southern armies his
jubilation was undisguised.
The Union provost-marshal, hear
ing complaints from his men of this
mans actions and words, decided to
make an example of him. He sent
a squad to arrest the offender and
presently, under guard, the old
gentleman was brought before him
