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.

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.

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? Buy your share today. 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.

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.

"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. The golden calf used to get a lot' °f worship that is now devoted to t he silken calf.
