Common carelessness lota the cold root and grow. Common carelessness says, between paroxysms of cough ing, "It will be all right in a day or two," and the common end is con firmed lung troublo, perhaps con sumption. The common-sense treat ment of a common cold ia a prompt dose of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It is the most efficient and reliable cure for colds and coughs, and is con stantly prescribed by physicians. S. Hatnes, M. D, Saranac, N.Y, says : "I have used Avar's Cherry Pectoral In my practice since lSi3, and have always found it reliable for. the cur of cold, coughs, aad. all lung diseases."

Our district will furnish quite a quantity ot wood judging from the num ber of trees we have heard fall lately. J. A. Jones has established a logging camp on the Abernethy about two miles above the sawmill and contemplates re building bis mill. It is hoped he will be successful in his endeavor. i Miss Holden is doing well with her school. If her pupils will be directed by her tbey will not have wasted their time. As the situation of our troops at Manila and other places seems to be the main subject of discussion it will not be out of place to quote a short paragraph from s letter written by G. C. Waldron from Manila. He says : "I see by the papers that alt sorts of lies are being told about this place and everything here, so don't you pay any attention to what the papers say." from tins your corres pondent concludes that many reorts con cerning hardships, starvation and bad treatment are exaggerated and in some cases wholly untrue and has originated in malice and other causes, such as not being able to comprehend beforehand what hardships would natuially result in such an expedition. Some went without understanding what a difference there would be in their pampered living at home and the plain rations and rough fare of soldier and to such it has proven a trying ordeal. We do not doubt our sick and wounded did not have tbe care and food tbey needed. 'Tis hoped we will profit by experience and by vote and influence help to bring about a better system of provision for the future emergencies of our countiy. As well as our soldiers, tbe parents and friends suffered untold agonies by knowing their sick and wounded were not properly fed and cared for. If we are a charitable hnmane race we should show It by lessening as far at possible the sufferings of onr own people. Very likely there were some betrayals of trusts, but it is too bad to make false accusations and exaggerated statements for it only tends to rob us of one of our greatest birth rights that of honoring our nation.
