BREAKS UP A COLD
IN SEVERAL HOURS
FEW lOsrs F.XD MOST
SEVERE GRIPPE MISERY
There Is not one grain of quinine
In Pnpe's Cold Compound, which
when tnken every two hours, until
three consecutive doses are taken,
will surely end the grippe and break
up the most severe cold, either In the
head, chest, back, stomach or Itmbs.
It promptly relieves the most mis
erable neuralgia pains, headuche, dull
ness, head and nose sturtcil up, icver
ishness, sneezing. sore throat, run
ning of the nose, catarrhal affections,
stiffness and rheumatic twinges.
Tapo's Cold Compound Is the result
of three years' research at a cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars, and
contains no quinine, which we have
conclusively demonstrated Is not ef
fective In the treatment of colds or
grlppo.
Take this harmless compound as di
rected, with the knowledge that there
Is no other medicine made anywhere
else In the world which will cure your
cold or end grippe misery as prompt
ly and without any other assistance
or bad after-effecta as a 25 cent pack
ago of Papo's Cold Compound, which
any druggist In the world can supply.
JOHN WANAMAKER'S
GOLDEN JUBILEE
The name of John Wanamaker Is
Indicative of big things, big Ideas,
big enterprises. At the very begin
ning of his business career he show
ed the big qualities of mind and
heart which havo made his business
what it Is today.
The first day's receipts of the little
store which he opened In Philadel
phia fifty years ago were $24.67. He
"kept the 67 cents for making change
next day," and Immediately spent the
$24 for newspaper advertising.
That Investment took courage, a
llgger amount of courage than the
expenditure of ten thousand times the
amount would cost him now. It
meant, too, a big confidence In his
goods and a big knowledge of hu
man nature.
This yfnr Mr. Wanamaker com
plctes a full half century of business
life, and his associates have celebrated
the occasion by publishing a volume
called The Golden Book of the John
Wanamaker Stores.
The volume Is library size, hand
omely bound in cloth and gold and
contains over 400 pages with numer
ous illustrations. Price 60 cents, post
paid, from the Wanamaker Stores at

ands In China and Manchuria, has
been placed upon u little, animal
closely resembling the ' American
wnodchuck, by experts studying the
source of the scourge.
This Chinese woodchuck has long
been known as subject to tho plague,
the Infection being transmitted by
the fleas always present on the bod
ies of the animals. From them, it
was communicated to trappers in
Eastern Mongolia and thence spread
through all Manchuria.
Had it not been for the mercenary
In tho make-up of the Chinese over
coming religious scruples, the
plague would not now be ravaging
the populous coast regions. In the
post, the Chinese would not kill the
animal, which they call "han te ah,"
for supersltlous and religious reasons.
The animals live in burrows, in col
onies of about fifty each, and their
habits resemblo those of the Ameri
can pralrio dog. The Chinese say
thut when the animal Is about to
leave Its burrow, and suspects an en
emy nearby, It omits a sound like
"pu p'ah, pu p'ah," meaning "no fear,
no fear." and then returns into its
hole. Tho Chinese also say that
when a trapper is about to kill the
live woodchuck in his trap, the ani
mal emits the same sound, and it was
this apparently uncanny phenomenon
which Inspired the Chinese with fear
of the animal.
In tho last two years, however,
their superstitions have been over
come by the high price of marmot
skins. The number of trappers has
Increased from practically none at all
to ten thousand this year.
This year the trappers brought
the skins to Harbin, and undoubted
ly brought the plague infection,
transmitted from the fleas infesting
the animals with them. From Har
bin, after selling their catch, many
took trips to' the south, and thus the
plague was spread from Harbin to the
sea coast.
