A Common, Cold Wo claim that If catching cold rould be avoided some of the nioal dangerous and fatal disease would never be hoard or. A cold often forum a culture bed for germ of Infectious diseases. Consumption. . pneumonia, diphtheria and scarlet fever, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseas es, are of this dims. Tho culture bed formed by the cold favors the development of tho germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There Is llttlo dan ger, however, of any of those diseases being contracted when a good expec torant cough medicine llko Cham berlain's Cough Remedy Is used. It cleans out these culture beds that fa vor tho development of the germs of these diseases. That Is why this remedy has proved so universally sue cessful In preventing pneumonia. It not ouly cures your cold quickly, but nilnlmlies the risk of contracting these dangerous diseases. For sale by r. M. Klrklaud. Civio Ugliness. Civic ucllneHH Is ut an anei.

Among the steps of progress to be recorded In our young national career are the Increased honesty aud dimin ished dlshoneety of commercial adver tising. The change Is perhaps most noticeable In that hybrid and amphibi ous trade of "dry goods." The public Is now quite used to seeing the sale of such wares anuouueed In fairly plain terms, without spurious allurements of euphemism or eulogy, whereas twenty or thirty years ago lying was thought to be a matter of comiuou sense by shopkeeper who advcrtlwa. Of course all advertising nil a inerclal basis, whether It nukes kuown a railway time lahle or a w umI course, a brand of whisky or n church service. Meuuwblle the pleasing luiprovemeul In "dry goods" advertising has reucU ed the remarkable degree of ut least one merchant sfttlng forth the relative udvautagc aud disadvantages of two articles offered to the public. This Urutus of business says concerning one kind of rulucoat that It Is "Dot absolutely water tight," though "proof against any ordinary shower." The other kind, be tells you. "is water tight;" but. sluce the body's beat and moisture do not escape, this accumula tion or aecretlou dumpeus the inside of the coat besides making the wearer uncomfortably hot" Is It not rstber a new thing for a truder to pay money to a newspaper for telling the public the defects of things be wants to sell?
