Good Cough Medicine for Children
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to proteot the children.
A child is niuoh more likely to con
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever wheu
he has a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less tho risk. Chambor
Iain's Cough Remedy is the sole re
liiiuce of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried it are willing to
use any other. Mrs F F. Staroher of
Ripley, W. Va., says: "I have never
used anything other than Ohtimber
lain's Cough Remedy formy children,
aud it has always given good satisfac
tion." This remedy contains no
opium or other narcotio aud may be
given as confidently to a child as an
adult. For Bale by Joues Drug Co.

EUGENE THE UNIVERSITY CITY
By JOHN H.IH.4RTOG
Eugene, the University city of Oregon, has become recognized
as the leader in civic improvement.
One of the most important things she did, and which other
towns in the Willamette Valley have since copied, are copying or
going to copy, is the paving of her principal business streets. In the
' Fall of 1907 she paved her first half-mile from the S. F. Depot south,
and last year and last Spring added to this, so that now she has some
60 blocks of hard-surface pavement. The work was all done by the
Warren Construction Company and is known as the Bitulithic pave
ment. So startling was the change and the improvement that other
towns, noticing the beautified and improved appearance of Eugene's
streets, decided to do likewise.
Two years ago the stores were not in the habit of lighting their
show-windows at night, giving the town a rather backward appear-'
ance to the visitors who arrived in Eugene after dark, but since last
year the stores, with but very few exceptions, are brilliantly lighted.
On gala occasions Eugene's principal street is illuminated by
festoons of electric bulbs and this innovation has been since copied
by Salem, on a larger scale. It is now planned to light the principal
business streets by means of ornamental lamp posts instead of by the
arc-lights now in use.
One of the most striking improvements in the way of civic beau
tification has been the changing of the entrance to the city from an
eye-sore to a beauty spot. First a new depot was built by the S. P.
Company and then the ware-houses were moved across the tracks
and the vacant space thereby created, being 150 feet wide by over a
thousand feet in length, was excavated and soil put in and made into
a park by the Eugene Commercial Club. The principal features are
the rose-garden in the east end and the rockery in the west end.
About 600 rose bushes were placed, over 200 varieties of trees and
shrubs and several thousand bulbs.
