Stop Buying Expensive
Cough Remedies
Make the Best at Home
Money spent for the old style, ready
made cough syrups in bottles holding
only 2 to 2i ounrea is very largely
wasted, because most of them are com
posed principally of sugar and water.
Yet you have to pay the same price as
if it was all medicine. Stop wasting
this money. You can make a better
cough medicine at home at one-fifth
the cost. Merely go to John R. Cates
Drug Co.’a and ask for 2 ounces (50c.
worth) of SchitTmiinn’s Concentrated
Expectorant. Mix this with one pint
of granulated sugar and one-half pint
of boiling water, which makes a full
pint, (16 ounces). This new, simple,
pleasant remedy is guaranteed to re
lieve the worst cough or cold. Also
excellent for Bronchial Asthma, Bron
chitis, croup hoarseness and whooping
cough. One bottle will make enough
home-made cough medicine to probably
last the whole family the entire winter.
Children like it, it is so pleasant to
take, and it positively contains no chlo
roform, opium, morphine or other nar
cotics, as do most cough mixtures. Keep
it oil hand in ru»o of emergency and
stop each cough before it gets a firm
hold. The above druggist has been au
thorized to return the money in every
single case where it does not give per
fect satisfaction or is not found the
best remedy ever used. Absolutely no
risk is run in buying this remedy un
der this positive guarantee.
Hays-Pinson.
Moot^zrjm G^onnan. 4«h in«t_
Wednesday evening, at the home of
the bride’s father, Hon. J. E Hays,
Miss Martha Lavonia Hays and Mr

smilax, holly and min ature pines
Misses Dorothy Maffett. Evelyn Adams,
ldalu Haugabook and Sara Y'oung
served punch from opposite sides of the
porch The house was artistically dec
orated in green and white, quantities of
fern, smilax, chrysanthemums and pot
plants being used. In the parlor an im-
provsed altar was made of hand
some ferns and cathedral candles, with
a long wall mirror as a background and
festoons of roped cedar suspended from
the ceiling.
The bridal party came down the stair- !
way in the following order: Misses
Louise Hays and Harriet Holt, dainty |
fl jwer girls, came singly, dressed in ex-
quiBite hand-made white frocks and
carrying white carnations. Following

man. The brule wa3 met at the bottom
of the stairs by her father, who gave

in seed pearls. She carrier) a shower
bouquet of bride's roses

“Pay What Thou Owest.”
Ft. Valley Lender-Tribum*.
We indorse the “Hold Your Cotton”
movement, but we do not indorse the
"Hold the Other Fellow's Cotton”
movement, and we know no better rea
son to set forth in support of our view
than that which the bible suggests. We
refer to ProverbB, 3d chapter, 27th and
2*lh verses, which reads as follows:
"Withhold not from them to whom it is
due, when it is in the power of thine
hand to do it. Say not unto thy neigh
bor, ‘Go, and come again, and to-mor-
r.iw I will give,’ when thou hast it by
thee.”
Merchants and other business men
are suffering more than they have made
known, because those whom they fa
vored all the year have refused to make
some sacrifice and pay them; and unless
relief comes pretty soon from those in
debted to them, many are liable to be
come bankrupt. They cannot meet
their obligations if those who owe them
fuil to came to their rescue.
Present conditions are liable to con
tinue for several months. The duty of
the debtor is plain. What he will do
about it?
Keep It Handy For Rheumatism.
No use to squirm ami wince and try
to wear out your rheumatism. It will
wear you out instead. Apply some
Sloan’s Liniment. Need not rut) it in —
jUHt let it penetrate all through the af
fected parts, relieve the soreness and
draw the pain. You get ease at once
and feel so much better you want logo
right out and tell other sufferers about
Sloan's. Get a botUe of Sloan’s Lini
ment for 25c of any druggist and have
it in the house—against colds, sore and
swollen joints, lumbago, sciatica and
like silmunts. Y'our money hack if not
satisfied, hut it does give almost
instant relief. Buy a bottle to-day.
They liBd just been married and were
about to start on their wedding trip.
As is the custom with bridegrooms he
was embarrassed to the point of for
getfulness, but he met the situation
like an expert.
"Why, Harry, you bought only one
ticket," said the bride reproachfully.
"Just like me, dear,” said Harry,
quickly, “always forgetting myself.”

BETTY GETS A CHANCE.
Rad Cross Seals Hslpsd Hsr to Got
Wall.
She waa real pretty and so full of
ftm that the dimples were always
showing In her round, red cheeks. Her
eyes were big and brown, and her nut
colored hair curled naturally In little
ringlets over her forehead and ears.
She was Just eighteen when we first
met her and so neat and attractive
that one would think she belonged to
the well to do class of working people,
but when we followed her to her home
one day we confronted startling facts.
The red In her cheeks was the flush
of unnatural Inward fever, the high
spirits were a pitiful antidote to piti
less conditions, and the big brown eyes
snw only squalor when they were not
fixed upon a typewriting machine or
closed persistently to any view but un
Imaginary bright one.
The room we entered was a general
living space, nsed also as an eating,
cooking and sleeping apartment There
was hut one bed. and Betty hRd to
sleep in tt with her mother, who was
too weak to sit op. An open cuspidor
sat where It would be conveniently
near the bed. which placed It by the
stove, where their food was cooked.
The mother, who was suffering In an
advanced stage of tuberculosis, did not
like cold sir. and her quernlons de
mands caused Hetty to keep the door
and windows closed.
“Well," said cheerful Betty, with a
laugh, "that Isn’t so bad as not having
any windows or doors to close. Is It?
Things might be worse."
“Infinitely worse,” said the Wise
One. “Yon might even take a notion
to stuff the windows and dpors with
rags to cut out what oxygen comes In
through the cracks."
Red Cross Christmas Heals, with
their cheery message of hope, gave
Betty a chance to get well after her
mother died. Is It worth while to Bave
the Bettys?

SEAL ON EACH S’OLE.
“Am I using Red Cross Christmas
Seals?" reiterated a good natured old
cobbler as he looked up from the shoe
he wus repairing to the person who
stood blocking the doorway of the lit
tle shop and who had asked the ques
tion originally. “I don't know of them.
What are they for?" he asked.
When told that the little stickers
were being sold all over the United
States to raise money to prevent tuber
culosis the cobbler became very much
Interested.
“Now. I call that a good enuse," he
drawled. “I don't write any letters, and
1 don't send any Christmas packages.
There’s Just me and the old woman
left I can’t use my seals that way,
but I'll tell you how I can use them. I
will stick a seul on the sole of every
shoe I tap."
PRESIDENT WILSON ON RED
CROSS SEALS.
As an expression of his Interest In
the Red Cross Seal and Anti-tubercu
losis Campaign President Wilson re
cently wrote to the National Associa
tion For the Study and Prevention of

&HE WHACKED CONSUMPTION.
Rad Cross Seals Are a Powerful
Weapon.
She was richly gowned and bedecked
with furs and Jewels. Ue was a shab
by, wizen faced sort of man. Both of
them came up to the Red Cross Seal
booth at the same time. “My wife Is
dying with consumption," he said In a
husky voice, “an' we ain't got much
money, because I'm out of work, hut
she did want me to buy live of them
Beals. She says If she can take a
whack at consumption afore she dies
she’ll rest easier, an' I guess she will.”
Ue wiped his eyes with his knuckles
and reached for the package of seals
which the pretty attendant had put up
tor him.
“Where do you live?” said the richly
dressed woman, who had been an in
terested listener to the shabby man’s
brief story. He gave an address In one
of the poorest tenement house neigh
borhoods.
"I was going to buy a few seals for
my little girl,” said the woman, “but
your wife's desire to get a whack at’
consumption hns shown me what I
should do. Please give me $50 worth,
miss. Tell your wife she whacked con
sumption harder than she expected.”

"Wonld to God your work had started
fifty years ago,” was the comment of
an Arizona consumptive In writing the
other day to Dr. Hoyt E. Dearholt, ex
ecutive secretary of the Wisconsin
Anti-tuberculosis association. Part of
the letter follows:
“Fine work, old chnp! That decrease
In the death rate seems a remarkable
gain to me. I bad not expected results
ns soon as that. I have always laughed
at the authorities who claimed that In
ten years a case of tuberculosis would
be as rare as one of smallpox Is today.
The bad work of centuries cannot be
undone In ten years, and so I marvel
at your wonderful progress. I trust the
errors In statistics, if any, are all in
your favor. You inspire me. Would to
God your work had started fifty years
ago. Probably then the disease would
have missed me.”
The letter contained a check for Red
Cross Seals, from the sale of which the
entire support of the Wisconsin work
Is derived. Every seal you buy is a bul
let In the fight against tuberculosis.
