Get Bid of Lingering Colds, Coughs
and La Grippe
Spring finds many afflicted with
lingering, haeking coughs that weaken
the system. Slush and wet cause more
colds than zero weather. Croup, bron
chitis, and pneumonia are prevalent.
Every family should have a safe and
reliable cough medicine ready for use.
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound con
tains no harmful ingredients. It eases
a cough, checks a cold and relieves in
flamed and congested membranes. It
clears the air passages and soothes in
flammation. Geo. A. Gorgas, 16 North

BERKS MEN AGAINST OPTION
Tell the Governor How They Stand on
Question of Liquor Legislation
Numerous letters ami teletgwuns con
tinue to arrive at the Executive De
partment for Governor Bumbaugh from
All ti-Saloon Leagues, temperance so
cieties, chutvli and Sunday school no
cieties in many parts of the State, con-
taining endorsements of the Govern
or's position on the local option bill,
and uring him to continue until the bill
becomes a law. This morning several
were received from Pittsburgh anti
liquor associations and other parts of
the west were represented in the let
ters received.
The policy of summoning members
of the Mouse to the Executive Depart
ment for personal interviews with the
Governor to ascertain where they stand
on local option, continues, but not all
that are summoned announce their in
tention to vote for the bill. Two
Berks county members, Representa
tives Rothenbenger and Barig, who
were called in toy the Governor to learn
where they stood oa local option, very
plainly informed him that they are
against local option l'or the reason that
their constituents are against it. Both
were elected on a anti-local option
platform.
Representative Swartz, Harris
burg, has not yet been sni. med by
the Governor, and says that if he is lie
will tell him that he is positively op
posed to the county unit plan. Mr.
Swart/, savs he has not yet determined
what, to his idea, is the proper unit,
but he does not think the county unit
is the one to be adopted. The county
unit means that each county shall vote
separately on the question of the adop
tion or rejection of local optiou.
