When to Go Home.
From the Bluffton, Ind., Banner:
"When tired mit, go home. When
you want consolation, go home.
When you want fun, go home.
When you want to show others
that you have reformed, go home
and let your family get aquainted
with the fact. When you want to
show your self at your best go home
and do the act there. When
you feel like being extra liberal go
home and practice on your wife and
children first. When you want to
Shine with extra brilliancy go home
and light up the whole household."
To which we would add, when you
have a bad cold go home and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
a quick cure is certain. For sale

when the truth was that the cold
had simply left the little one partic

quickly cures the cold and lessens
the danger of diptheria or any other
