The Best Bemedr For Croup
[From the Atchtnson, Kan., Dally Ulobc.J
This Is tbe re son when tbe woman
who knows tbe best remedies for croup
is in demind In eveiy neighborhood.
One of tbe most terrible things lu tie
world ia to be awakened iu tbe middle
of tbe night by a whoupfrom one of the
children, Tbe oroup remedies are al
most as sure to be lost, in case of croup,
as a revolver is sure to be lost In case
of buiglare. There used to be an old-
fashioned remedy for oroup, known ns
hive syrup and toln, but eome modern
mother's say that Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy Is better, and does not oost so
much. It causes the patient to "thrqw
up tbe pblegm” quicker, and gives ro
lief In a shorter time. Give this remedy

•/'or that Cough,
A conght is a little thing
when it begins. This is
the time to stop it. The
longer you put if off the
harder it is to cure. The
longer it lasts the more
severe it becomes. Let it
run oil and there is no no
telliDg what tho end will
be. The worse case of
corsnmptiou was a little
cough once. Dodson’s
Cough Balsam will stop
any cough when it begins.
It will stop almost all
coughs after they get bad.
But the best way is to
take it at the first sign of
a cold. Dodson’s Cough
Balsam is the best remedy

When Americus enter* upon tbe new
year tbe oouaoit should begin to de
vise waya and means of providing an
inatitatlon tbe need of wbleh has long
betn apparent—a city market. Tbe
growth of tbe city render* aneb an en
terprise a necessity, and there are
many reasons for ita establishment and
not one to tbe contrary. Besides prov
ing a source of revenue to tbe olty, it
would to a great extant consolidate tbe
sale of meats, flab, vegetables and anob
perishables and prove a convenience to
housekeepers. It is a snbjeet upon
wbleh tbe eolonr, present and prospee

sidered and the calendar Ib becoming
heavily burdened. Three days last
week were devoted to discussing pro
posed changes in the rales of the house
and discussing points of order. Some
of the members are already beginning
togst anxious about their measures,
and any farther attempt to waste time
in debate over trivial matters will most
likely meet with tbe disapproval of a
