24.—Senator
Chamberlain introduced today a bill for
the relief of the Siletz settlers, provid­
ing that no homestead be cancelled
merely because of insufficiant resi­
dence or cultivation when entry was
made in good faith, and that entries
that have been cancelled be reinstated
on application, if no contest be insti­
tuted
The bill contains a strong clause pro­
viding for protecting against fraud­
ulent entry in the past or future.
Bills were introduced today to set

Cured of a Severe Attack of Bronchitis
by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
“On October 18th, last, my little
three year old daughter contracted a
severe cold which resulted in a bad case
of bronchitis,” says Mrs. W. G. Gibson,
Lexington, Ky. “She lost the power
of speech completely and was a very
sick child. Fortunately we had a bot­
tle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in
the house and gave it according tothe
printed directions. On the second day
she was a great deal better, and on the
fifth day, October 23rd, she was entire­
ly well of her cold and bronchitis, which
I attribute to this splendid medicine.
I recommend Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy unreservedly as I have found
it the surest, safest and quickest cure
for colds, both for chilbren and adults,
of any I have ever used.” For sale by
