"Some time ago my daughter caught
a severe oold. She complained of pains
in her chest and had a bad cough. I
gave her Chamberlain s Cough Remedy
according to directions and in two days
she was well and able togo to school.
I have used this remedy in my family
for the past seven years and have never
known it to fail." says James Prender

chest indicated an approaching attack
of pneumonia, which in this instance
was undoubtedly warded of by Cham

Friendship Closed.
The fair of the Friendship Fire Com
pany, which opened on Saturday, Dec
ember 14, closed on Saturday night
last. Miss May James came forward
with ticket No. 1115 and was declared
the winner of the Prince Beaver range,
offered as a door prize. Christian Loeh
won the gent's gold watch. His com
petitor was Councilman Albert Kemmer
and the contest was a hard fought and
spirited one. The ladies' gold watch
was won by Miss Pearl Snyder, the oth
er contestant being Miss Annie Heim.
Both made a very thorough canvass
among their friends and for awhile ran
close.
The handsome comfort on which every
one who visited the fair was asked to
risk ten oents was drawn by Arthur
Myerly. Street Commissioner H. B.
Deen held the lucky number which
drew the pair of shoes.
The fair. Saturday night, wound np
with an auction, at which all the goods
on hand were disposed of at very fair
prices. There was a large crowd pres
ent and bidding was lively, Stoes' band
at intervals enlivening the occasion with
music. The fair on the whole is pro
nounced a snccess.

What better recommendation could any
medicine have than for people to call

remedy? Try them when yon feel dull
after eating, when you have a bad taste
in your mouth, feel bilious, have no ap
petite or when troubled with constipa
tion. and vou are certain to be delighted

PROCLAMATION MADE:
OF M'KINLEY DAY.
Governor Stone asks that the schools
| of Pennsylvania observe January 29, the
fifty-ninth anniversary of the birth of
! William McKinley. The following pro
j clamation has been issued.
I To the people of Pennsylvania:—The
i Governor of Ohio has by public procla
! ination called attention to the McKinley
j National Memorial Association, organ
ized for the purpose of raising a fund
for the erection of a suitable monument
at the grave of William McKinley, and
has recommended that the people of
Pennsylvania be given an opportunity
to contribute to this fund.
The citizens of Pennsylvania, who
have so richly profited by his life work,
owe a great debt to William McKinley,
and the response to the invitation ot the
McKinley National Memorial Associa
tion should be prompt and liberal.
I, therefore heartily join with the
Governor of Ohio in suggesting that
Wednesday, January 2!), the fifty-ninth
anniversary of the birth of William Mc-
Kinley, be observed by all the schools
of the State as "McKinley Day"and
that on the Sunday preceding the 29th
of January special memorial exercises
be held in all our churches. I also sug
gest that an opportunity be then given
in both schools and churches to those
who desire to aid this work.
Each contributor is requested to give
his name and post office address so that
a suitable memorial receipt may be re
turned therefore by the association.
Contributions may be sent direct to
Mr. Myron T. Herrick, treasurer, Cleve
land, 0., or if sent to Mr. ThomasDolan,
Philadelphia, or Mr. William McCon
way, Pittsburg, trustees of this associa
tion, they will be promptly forwarded.

REEARKABLE CURE OF CROUP.
A Little Boy's Life Saved.
I have a few words to say regarding
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It saved
my little boy 's life and I feel that I can
not praise it enough. I bought a bottle
of it from A. E. Steere of Goodwin, S.
D .and when I got home with it the poor
baby could hardly breathe. I gave the
medicine as directed every ten minutes I
until he "threw up" and then I thought
sure he was going to choke to death
We had to pull the phlegm out of his
month in great long strings. I am
positive that if I had not got that bottle
of cough medicine, iny boy would not
be no earth to-day.—JOEL DEMONT,

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

No One Need Fear Small-Pox.
"No person who has been vaccinated
recently in a successful manner has been
admitted to the Philadelphia Municipal
hospital suffering from small-pox since
the outbreak of the present epidemic."
So spoke Dr. William M. Welch, of
that city who was recently sent to Sun
bury by the State Board of Health at the
request of the Snnbury board. Dr.
Welch, for more than thirty years, has
been connected with the medical corps j
of the Municipal Hospital, and is an an- |
thority on small-pox.
"No person need fear small-pox,,' con-1
tinned Dr. Welch, "if recently vaccinated
and that vaccination is successful. In
the 980 cases that have come under my
notice since the outbreak of the present
epidemic, not one case has been of the
'recently successful vaccinated, sort.
You see, I dwell on those two words—
'recent' and 'successful. Lots of per- ■
sons are vaccinated at one time or an"
other, but for the person to be immune
the vaccination must be recent and sue
cessful.
"A great many persons imagine that
habitual smokers are comparatively free
from contagious disease, and say that
smoke is a good germicide. But in the
small-pox patients at the Municipal Hos
pital there are as many smokers as non- ;
smokers. The small pox germ is no re- i
spector of tobacco smoke. It could thrive j
on that almost as well as it could on
gelatin.
"Of course that remark is speculative, j
We haven't found the small pox germ j
yet, and so we don't know just what sort
of food it likes best. That there is a
germ we are reasonably sure, but no ex
perinientor has so far been lucky enough
to discover it. Some fine day we'll man- j
age to catch it, but 1 don't think it will !
teach us more than vaccination has
done, or benefit humanity more.

At this season of the year, when the
shade trees are devoid of foliage, an ex
cellent opportunity is afforded for the
destruction of the caterpillar cocoons.
In passing along the streets the number
of these cocoons is very noticeable, and
little effort now at their destruction
will mean much less annoyance from
these pests when they commence to
i make their appearance in the spring,
i This is the time to make war upon the
; enemy of the shade tree, and it applies
as well to those possessing fruit trees.
WHEN TROUBLE COMMENCES.
The Starting Point of Most Ills is Express
ed Inability to get Refreshing sleep.
Everything changt sand among others
is the marked increase in the number of
people who fail to get restful sleep, they
awake with a start twitch or jump and
i cannot get to sleep again. Usually
j other symptoms follow along and iu
j creased in proportion until restless sleep
is allayed. Then brain, heart, stomach
| —every vital organ assumes its normal
condition, because their controlling
power— Nerve Force is restored. There
is no doubt in Danville now about Dr.
A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills great in
fluence in promoting Nerve Force.
Mr. C. H. Stoes of No. ~17 E. Mahon
ing Street. Danville, Pa., says:—"l had

sistent nervous stomach trouble and

WASHINGTON LETTER
[Special Correspondence ]
There lias been some criticism of the
fact that Senator Mason's speech In the
last session of congress praising the
purity of American champagne has
been sent all over the country by en
terprising wine manufacturers under
Senator Mason's frauk, thus securing
the distribution of a valuable indorse
ment without the payment of postage.
"So far as I am concerned," said Sen
ator Mason the other day,"l have no
apology to make. It is true that certain
American grape growers and wine
makers took the speech and printed It,
Just as a political party prints and cir
culates a political speech. They went
to the public printer, paid him for
printing the speech and for the envel
opes, paid for having the addresses
written and their mailed the speech as
a public document. I have great confi
dence and respect," added Senator Ma
son laughingly, "for any gentleman
who will circulate a speech that I do
liver."

In the senate friendships are not lim
ited by party lines. Some of the strong
est personal attachments exist between
men of exactly opposite political views.
Senator Bacon of Georgia, who might
be termed a hard shell Democrat, has
many warm friends on the Republican
side, while Senator Aldrich, one of the
most prominent leaders among the Re
publicans, has very close personal rela
tions with the older Democratic mem
bers. Senator Proctor, the rock ribbed
Republican from Vermont, has a great
attachment for Senator Mallory, an ex
treme southerner from Florida. Mr.
Mallory served in the Confederate ar
my and in the Confederate navy; Sena
tor Proctor was a colonel and served on
the staff of Major General "Baldy"
Smith in the Union army. This makes
i no difference, however, and it Is a very
common thing for ex-Confederates and
' ex-Federals to be found In the house
and senate the most intimate of friends.
A Convention Ilnlldingr.
A bill to provide for the construction
of a building for exhibition ami assem
! bly purposes in the District has been
1 introduced in the senate by Mr. Mc-
Millan, chairman of the senate com
mittee on the District of Columbia.
This bill is in response to an urgent
appeal that has frequently been made
for a building in which exhibitions
may be held and in which assemblies
of a semipubllc nature may be con
vened.
j The bill Introduced by Mr. McMillan
provides for an appropriation of? 3,000,-
000 to carry it out. This amount is for
the purchase of a site and the con
struction of a building suitable for con
ventions, exhibitions, assemblies and
concerts. It is provided that this mon
ey is to be expended under the direc
tion of the president of the United
States. The bill was referred to the
senate committee on public buildings
and grounds.

When they get together for a talk,
Quarles is fond of relating his experi
ences during the civil war, for Bard
never was a Boldler, while Bard tells
, of his struggles in the early days of
I California, for he went to that state
i nearly forty years ago. Both men be

Cnrlon* Indian Ximei.
"The government pays money to In
dians with the most curious names in
the world," said a treasury official as
he labored hard the other day in coun
tersigning live or six hundred war
rants for small sums to Shawnee Indi
ans. "These names I have here are
beauties compared to the names of
some of those farther west than the
Shawnees. who are now wearing com
mon names, with few exceptions. One
of these checks here Is for the chief of
the Shawnees, whose name is Johnson
Black feather. The name is not so curi
ous, after all, but all through this list
are 6uch names as Bigknife, Bluejack
et, Blacktish, Greyfeather, Whitedeer,
Snulrrel, ect. These are among the
most honored names in the Shawnee
country."
When "Cinch" Meant "Bounce,"
lie was a rough rider of rather small
stature who was earnestly conversing
with the president in the crowded re
ception room on Saturday. He had
served under Colonel Roosevelt in Cu
ba, and there was an air of familiarity
about the meeting. Finally the presi
dent in an Impulsive tone that could
be heard all over the room said:
"William, 1 will appoint you marshal.
Go ahead. Do your duty. But remem
ber, the minute I catch you napping at
your post that minute I will 'cinch'
you."
And William went out, smiling and
happy To "cinch" means to fasten the
i saddle tight to the back of a horse. The
j prospective marshal later, when Major
Brodie of the rough riders told him the
president meant "bounce" instead of
"cinch," became downcast.

While It is true that statesmen, finan
ciers and other citizens of the Empire
State are perfectly aware of the ad
vantages which would accrue from the
possession of smooth and permanent
roads, it la equally certain that there is
need of substantial argument and dem
onstration in the matter among resi
dents of the rural districts, says the
New York Sun. Such residents, natu
: rally enough, vigorously oppose the im
: position of additional taxes for im
, provements which, they declare, would
; benefit rich people more immediately
i than others. Most farmers overlook
! the fact that better highways would
enable them to draw heavier loads
! than they are able to draw now, would
j entail less wear and tear upon their
wagons, would save much time in
j transportation and would considerably
! increase the value of their farm prop
erty.

as it so often is means nothing but a
second childhood of mind and body.
What makes the difference? Very large
ly the care of the stomach. In youth
and the full strength of manhood it
doesn't seem to matter how we treat the
stomach. We abuse it, overwork it, in
jure it. We don't suffer from it much.
But when age comes the stomach is
worn out. It can't prepare and distri
bute the needed nourishment to the
body, unnonrished. falls into senile de
cay. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is a wonderful medicine for old
people whose stomachs are "weak' and
whose digestions are "poor. Its invigor
ating effects are felt by mind as well as
body. It takes the sting from old age,
aud inakus old people strong.

CHRONIC BRONCHITIS.
How to Alleviate Ttal« Moit DUtr«»«-
inic Malady.
While an attack of acute bronchitis
in udult life is usually of brief duration
and of little gravity, its repeated occur
rence Is to be dreaded as possibly lead
ing to the much more serious chronic
form, says Youth's Companion. This
form occurs for the most part to per
sons beyond middle life.
It may supervene upon an acute at
tack which has been neglected, or it
may come on more gradually after a
succession of such attacks, each one
adding a little to the bronchial irrita
tion left behind by its predecessor, un
til the actual disease Is fully establish
ed. Subjects of the so called uric acid
diathesis are very prone to suffer from
chronic bronchitis, and so are patieuts
with heart and kidney disease and hard
drinkers.
Chronic bronchitis, like all other ca
tarrhal affections, is much less trouble
come in summer than in winter and in
those who live much In the open air
than in the housebound. From this
simple observation may be drawn the
lesson that the best remedy for bron
chitis is pure air. This is generally con
ceded in the case of consumption, but
tlie world—-even the medical world- Is
slower to recognize that an abundance
of oxygert—-pure air—ls equally essen
tial to the cure of bronchitis and other
chronic diseases of the organs of respi
ration.
The good result is due not only to the
improvement in the general health, but
also to the direct effect of the oxygen
upon the diseased bronchial membrane.
The patients should pay great atteu
tion to the care of the skin by cold o%
cool bathing, friction and so forth
should dress warmly and should chaugtn
damp clothing immediately on entering,

WHAT MEN ADMIRE.
feminine Qualities Which Attract
Mux ulintf firartu the World Over.
WLat do men admire in women?
In the very first place, I think, a
cheerful disposition. A man is afraid }
to marry a woman who always sees . (
the sad side of things. He wants a{ j
comforter, a brave spirit who will j j
stand by him through thick and thin }
and laugh at the world's troubles. A £
man who Is a good reader of character j
hesitates to tie himself to a woman
who has no sense of humor. Then, a j
man admires a girl who is popular
with her own sex, who has the right j
sort of women friends and who shines | (
in her own circle. lie admires a girl | <
with brains, but he doesn't want them
always glittering before him so as to j ,
dim his own. In other words, he j ,
wants to be brilliant too. One of the i j
greatest qualities he admires in a girl ■ \
is sympathy, that mysterious power
which brings out the best there is in !
every person. A proud spirit also ap- ;
peals to him, but one which knows oc- \
casionaliy how to unbend.
The modem man admires bravery, 1
but never mannishness. He appreci- I

A BRAVE SPIRIT. ner, even if only ,
outwardly put on, compels his worship, j
The girl who never says an unkind j
word about another woman is the one
who has many admirers; also she who ,
has high ideals and who clings to them. '
In a few words, all notions to the
contrary, men really admire what is I
noble, true, honest and strong, and the
woman who unites these qualities is
always sure of their deep regard.

It's too risky, playing I

The first thing you
know it will be down

the play will be over. Be

the cough.

DRESSING THE CHILD.
Have Regard For It® FetlluK*
Comfort.
The recent death of Kate Greenaway
brings to my mind the subject of chil
dren's dress. No one but those who
lived in her day can appreciate the
benefit she conferred on tiny suffering
humanity. With her clever sketches of
small men and women inartistic and
suitable costumes she entirely revolu
tionized children's dress. Fief ore that
time little boys and girls of four and
five were rigged out in ridiculous and
painfully uncomfortable imitations of
their elders. The little boys wore long
trousers and top heavy hats. The little
girls actually had their gowns made in
two pieces with tight bodices pinched
in at the waist and heavy gathered
skirts. It was thanks to Kate Green
away that one piece frocks and
guimpes came into fashion and that all
the weight of a child's loosely cut gar
ment was suspended from its shoul
ders, as it was proper that it should be.
No one but a foolish and unprogres
sive mother will dress her children un
comfortably nowadays. The woman
who makes her little son ridiculous by
tricking him out In curls, buckled
shoes and a generally "picturesque''
costume is way behind the times.
Neither does she succeed in her foolish
desire to make him look like an embryo
nobleman or a small multimillionaire.
The children of the rich are the very
ones who are most simply dressed.
The doctrine of health, of strong limbs
and of a bright, happy disposition
rules all. You may see these young
heirs and heiresses to fortunes run
ning happily around in the park under
the care of their nurses. They are
MAKING HIM RIDICULOUS.
dressed in warm, well tailored littlf
coats, in stout shoes and sensible hats
which will not blow off with every gus'
of wind. In summer they wear low
socks with flat shoes, and their sturdj
little brown legs flash merrily over tin
ground as they play good, old fashioned
healthy games. The boys, fine, manl:
little fellows, have their hair croppec
short, as a boy should. The girls wea
theirs in the plaiuest of manners. Thii
is happy, healthy childhood; childhoot
as it is meant to be.
