DONT COUGH YOURSELF INTO

To neglect a cough or cold b al
ways a hazardous act. A could so
often goes down on the lungs, and the
cough that follows may easily be a
symptom of bronchitis, pleurisy, or
even pneumonia. Coughing frequent
ly follows attacks of la grippe, and if
severe and persistent, is a tax on the
system that weakens the vital re
sistance. Foley's Honey and Tar com

Charms of the Women of the Upper
Clauetx
Woman occupies a position of un
usual prominence In Poland. Some
place her as superior to man In nearly
every way. In the various conspiracies
and In the revolutions against Russia
Polish women have had an important
part Many have given up all their
worldly goods In the cause of their
country, while others have fought on
the Held of battle and lost their lives tu
the same caime. Still others have gone
Into exile without a murmur They
are capable of any sacrifice for patriot
Ism, and they prove their slncei-lty by
their actions The women are still the
most zom Ions patriots, and It Is due to
them more than the other sex that
patriotic feeling Is still so Intense
Thus writes Nevln O. Winter in til'
"Poland of Today und Yesterday."

The women do not enjoy the sue Ins

never left unprotected Mnrrbges Hre

"The will of my honored parents has
ever been a sacred law to me." says
the Polish girl, with resignation. When
H messenger came with a proposal of
iniirriaue If a goose was served with
dark gravy at dinner or n pumpkin
was put In the carriage as he was leav
ing this meant that the offer was posi
tively refused " He was treated to a
goose fricassee" was an expression
frequently heard In the olden days.

sessed of the graces of true womanli
ness. Perhaps, It .Is.tpe.posjpssl.on.of

these woTnuary 'qualities 'BTRI IBS' ab
sence of the masculine elements
wherein lies their real charm. A pen
cil or brush Is certainly a better me
dium than a pen to portray such at
tractive types of womanhood.
The lot of the peasant woman, how
ever, is especially bard, as It Is with
all Slav races, and this Is noticeable
throughout all the Polish provinces,
Tbey do more than their full share of
the family work. Sometimes one will
see more women In the fields than men,
and a kaleidoscopic effect of color Is
then visible. Blue, green, yellow, gold
and silver are mingled in various com
binations. They pin up the overeklrt.
which leaven a bright petticoat exposed
to view.
Woman Is valued chiefly for the
work Bhe can do. and she Is expected
to bear a large family or children as
well. For a mau to say that bis wife
does more work than a horse or two
horses Is considered the acme of
praise. It Is no wonder that a girl
naturally attractive soon grows old
and hnggard. Hard work, with little
pleasure, the care of a uumerous fam
ily and uo regard for personal attrac
tion must Inevitably leave their mark
before muny years: hence It Is that
many of these Polish women look hag
gard and old eveu before they have
passed the third decade of life.
There are. indeed, few bright spots
in a Polish peasaut girl's life ufter
marriage. In tlielr youth some of the
girls are very attractive, ond they
look quite charming In their pictur
esque national costumes that are still
common in (inllcla. Tbey generally
go barefooted in summer, for boots
cost 'money. Sometimes they will
carry tlielr boots when going to church
and only pat t he in on Just before en
tering the sanctuary.
"Do women work on the railroads as
section hands?" I asked a fellow pas
senger ou the railway in Uallcia. I
had seen groups of women along the
track with pick and shovel In band,
but could scarcely believe that they
did the hard work of that occupation.
"Yes. and they do the work better
than the men." he replied.
At Cracow I have seen then) carry

ers where new buildings are being
erected. They were spading the How

not make any difference whether there
were three or a dozen women workinc
together, there was always one man
who did nothing but act as overseer
Along the roads they may tie seen

Melancholy may be defined as a state
of mind In which n man is so out of

has lost Its sweetness. Sir William

John Paul Jones In a Fight Was aj
Quick as Chain Lightning.
The exploits of John Paul .Tones, .he
famous commodore, have for tunny
yeurs formed interesting reading for
young and old students of history, mid
a volume Issued by M. MacDermot
Crawford, under the title "The Sailor
Whom England Feared," adds much
that is worthy of note. The hero of the
book is thus described In Its puges:
"Though of low stature and slender
build,- his neck, arms and shoulders
were those of a heavy set man. Ills
neck was out of proportion to the rest
of hlin. The Rtrength of bis unns and
shoulders could scarcely be believed
and he bad equal use of both hands,
even to writing with the left as well as
the right band.
"He was past master in the' art of
boxing, and though there were many
hard nuts to crack in the various crews
he commanded, no one ever doubted
that the commodore wsr the best man
aboard. To all this he added n quick
ness of motion that cannot be describ
ed except by saying that he was quick
er than chain lightning. When roused
he would strike more blows and da
more damage in a second than any oth
er ni'i n could do In a minute.
"Even when calm and unruflled his
gait and all his bodily motions were
exactly like those of the panther
noiseless, sleek and the perfection of
grace, yet always giving one the idea
that It would be well to keep out of
teach of bis paws and teeth." .

To the Housewife.
Madam, if your husband is like most
men he expects you to look after tiie
health of yourself and children. Coughs
and colds are the most common of the
minor ailments and are most likely to
lead to serious disease. A child is
much more likely to contract diph
theria or scarlet fever when it has
a cold. If you will inquire into the
merits of the various remedies that
are recommended for coughs and colds,
you will find that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy stands high in the estimation
of people who use it. It is prompt
and effectual, pleasant and safe to
take, which are qualities especially to
be desired when a medicine is intended
for children. For sale by all dealers.
