If a cough once gets into your system
it acts on every muscle and fibre of the
body and makes you ache all over. It
especially affects the intestines and makes
you constipated, so in order to get rid of
a cold thoroughly and without delay you
should not take anything that will tend
to constipate. Kennedy's Laxative
Cough Syrup acts upon the bowels and
thereby drives the cold out of the system.
It contains no opiates—it is pleasant to
take and is highly recommended for child
ren. Sold by 11. C. Dodson.

It is very important and in fact it is
absolutely necessary to health that we
give relief to the stomach promptly at
the first signs of trouble—which are belch
ing of fjas, nausea, sour stomach, head
ache, irritability and nervousness. There
are warnings that the stomach has been
mistreated: it is doing too much work and
it is demanding help from you. Take
something once in awhile; especially after
meals; something like KODOL for Dys
pepsia and Indigestion. It will enable
your stomach to do its work properly.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
I From our Regular Correspondent.l
Washington, Jan. 4th, 190 X.
The tactics of some of the fi iends
of Senator Foraker are greatly de
plored by his friends in Washing
ton as well as by all republicans.
Their latest manoeuvre is the cir
culation of the report, chiefly
among Masonic orders, and that
includes a large per cent, of the
politicians of the country, Demo
crats as well as Repubiicans, that
Mrs. Taftisa Catholic. Mrs. Taft
nor her family has ever had any
affiliation with the Catholic church.
She is an Episcopalian as every
body knows, and the Secretary is
an Unitarian. The inference from
the circulation of this falsehood is
obvious that the friends of the Sen
ator feel obliged to resort to any
measure, however pnsillanimous,
to boost their candidate for the
Presidency.
Comments were heard on every
hand among Republicans upon the
recent developments in New York
in connection with the Hughes
boom. The two events of interest
were the appointment of a commit
tee of the Republican Club of New
York city, comprising some of the
best known members of that organ
ization, to push the Hughes boom;
and the governor's message to the
legislature. It is declared that the
first practical effort of the commit
tee will be to induce the Republi
can county committee, at its meet
ing January 1(5, to put through the
resolution endorsing Gov. Hughes,
proposed at the last meeting but
which went over.
Much disappointment was ex
pressed over the governor's message
to the legislature. The natural
expectation had been that he would
have something to say about some
at least of the many national ques
tions which - ' are absorbing the
minds of tin* country, and there
was much criticism heard on every
hand that he should have confined
himself so exclusively on state af
fairs.

The roadei'B of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there in at least
one dreaded disease that science haw
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers that they oiler One Hundred Dol

Secretary Wilson says, "One of the ob

of the presence of certain harmful drugs
in medicines.' The law requires that
the amount of chloroform, opium, mor
phine. and other habit forming drugs be
stated on the label of each bottle. The
manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy have always claimed that their
remedy did not contain any of these
drugs, and the truth of this claim is now
lutly proven, as no mention of them is
made on the label. This remedy is not
only one of the safest, but one of the
best in use for coughs and colds. Its
value has been proven beyond question
