The following clipping from The
Dalles Chronicle o the 12th inat shows
tiiat the lodge oi the Benevolent Pro
tective order of Elks at that place have
set a precedent that it would well serve
all lodges ot this and every othar fra
ternity to follow:
Tbe true Christmas spirit, whioh Is a
large part ot the teachings oi the order
struck the local lodge of Elks at their
meeting Saturday uigut and resulted
in a decision to give a Christmas tree
for the ohllden ot The Dalles. By this
they mean all rich and poor, large
and small, good . and bad the only
limitation being that they are onder 12
years of age. . The tree is to be given
at the Vogt opera hoase at 5 o'clock
Sunday, December 25th, and if every
little heart isn't made glad it won't be
because the big hearted Elkt haven't
done their utmost , to make them so.
The Elks have asaamed all expenses
and will ask for no assistance, though
be assured it yoo feel it In your heart
to o.ake your own Christmas happier
by assisting them, they will not deny

Couh Remedy
Ashburubam, Out., April 18, 1903.
1 think it is only right that I should
tell yoo what a wonderful effect
Cbamberlain'a Cough Remedy has
produoed . Ths day before Easter I
was so distressed with a cold ' and
oougb that I did not think to be able
to take any duties the next dsy, as my
voice was almost choked by tha cough
The same dsy . I ; received an order
from you for a bottle of your Cough
Remedy. I at once procured a sample
bottle and took about three doees of
the medicine. To my great relief tne
oougb and cold had completely disap
peered and I was able to preaoh thr ee .'
times on Easter Day. I know that
this rapid and effective cure was due
to your Cough Remedy, I make tbfs
testimonial without solioitatioo, being
tbsnkfol to have found such . a God
seal remedy. : Respectfully yours,
