When kept at band ready for instant use, a cold may be checked at the outset and cured in much less time than after it has be come settled in the system. This rem edy is also without a peer for croup in children, and will prevent the attack when given as soon as the child be comes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, which can only be done when the remedy is kept at hand.

HEAVY RAIN IN CALIFORNIA, Minor Damages to Railroads and Ship ping All Along Coast. LOS AN'CiKI.ES, March IX The un usually heavy rain storm that prevailed over Southern California dunng Sunday and Monday has passed uwny. Two and forty-seven-htindredths inches of rain fell in this city during the -torm but in many places the precipitation was as great as five inches. Minor damages to railroads, bridges over creeks in the vicinity of the foot hills, and, in thi city, flooded basements and impaired street- car ,-erviiy cover the losrteH caused by the flood waters. Along the coast there were a few min or rniHhaps to small fishing craft during the gale that accompanied Sunday' storm, but aside from the sinking of a dredger at San Pedro, there was no great financial loss. Heavy snows fell in the high moun tain to the north, even Mount Wilson being covered with four inches at the summit. Steam railroads report serious delay to trains, caused by minor washouts and softened roadbeds from excessive precipitation. The rainfall, however, assures abundant crops throughout the Southern part of California. THE OLD GOVERNMENT.
