Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
The great benefit derived from
the use of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy has been gratefully ac
knwledged by many. Mrs. Benja

writes: “Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy is by far the best medicine
for colds and coughs we have ever
used in our family. I gave it to
my children when small tor croup
and have taken it myself.” Nor

Loan drive this year. Are we
looking forward to the Centenary
drive that’s coming, too? There
has just been a great war, but
there is still a greater one to wage
—a war that we can’t be victori
ous with, nor money, nor any
other arms except spiritual arms,
and the European countries are
looking to American Protestantism
for help to rebuild their new foun
dations upon, as everything is
overrun and devastated. So we
see that the Victory drive isn’t
the most important one.
I often wonder if the man who
says his brain stops working when
he gets on his feet to make a
speech could do any better sitting
down.

We are glad Mr. Robert Strick
land has resumed his regular work

stationed for the present at Jones

afternoon the guest of Mrs. J. W.

Are You Happy?
To be happy you must be well,
If you are frequently troubled with

cannot be altogether happy. Take

take. Horton Drug Co.

" Changes in 801 l Telephone Rates -1913 to 1918
Compared with Changes in Wages and Prices
SINCE 1913 there has been a steady increase in the price of all com
modities and the products of industry, which has not been reflected
in a corresponding increase in telephone rates. In order to meet the
past and present high cost of telephone operation, a revenue in just pro
portion to the expense must be secured.
The reason is simple. The cost of telephone operation has steadily
advanced both because of the increased cost of material and the in
creased living cost of employes. The consumer has realized the neces
sity of paying more for rent, for food, for clothing and for transporta
tion. The telephone industry has been affected by the same conditions
which have produced higher prices in all of the necessities of life.
Between 1913 and 1918, commodity prices advanced 112 per cent,
wages advanced 72 per cent and Bell Telephone rates the country over
advanced only 4 per cent. Adequate rates are needed if the service is
to be maintained efficiently and on a comprehensive scale, so as to meet
the increasing demands of the public.
This company is operating its telephone property under the direc
tion of the Postmaster General for the United States Government and
must secure sufficient revenue to cover the cost of rendering the service.
