(From the Atchlaon, Kan., Dally Qlobe.)
This is the season when the wo-
man who knows the best remedies
tor croup is in demand in every
neighborhood. One of the most
terrible things in the world is Id
be awakened in the middle of the
nightbva whoop from one of
the children. The croup remed-
ies are almost as sure to be lost,
in case of croup, as a revolver is
sure to be lest in case of burglars.
There used to be an old-fashioned
remedy for croup, known as hive
syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is better, and does
not cost so much. It causes the
patient to "throw up the phlegm"
quicker, and gives relief in a
shorter time. Give this remedy
as soon as the croupy cough ap-
pears and it will prevent the at-
tack. It never fails ind is pleas-
ant and safe to take. For sale by
City Drug Store.

A SAD DEATH.
George, Son of Mr. and
C. Saunders.
Mrs, J.
Death entered the home of Ex-
County Treasurer and Mrs. J. C.
Saunders, last Saturday at 1:30
o'clock and took their fourteen
year old son, George F., who had
been sick only a few days with a
serious obstruction of the bowels.
Eveiy effort known to medical
skill was done to save the precious
boy's life, but to no avail. How
hard it is for parents to give up
their children, but it is a beauti-
ful and comforting thought that
death is not destruction, but har-
vesting—the gathering from fields
of moral tillage ripe fruits in
their season.
George was born Jan. IP, 1889,
at Blue Ridge. He was one of a
family of five children, four boys
and one girl. He was an obedi-
ent son, intelligent and studious
at school and Sunday school and
loved by his teachers and class
mates.

predated the value of the organi-
zation but havo been afforded a
glimpse of its potentialities. The
question now recurs with force
whether we shall continue the or-
ganization. And the question
touches every man and woman,
boy and girl in the city.
Generally speaking, it is bad to
fail. Ng city ought to set a pre-
cedent of undertaking and then
giving up a good cause. "To him
that hath shall be given."
Let the Y. M. C. A. dissolve
and tho example may be contag-
ious. Make a good fight, lair.! it
upon firm ground, and the next
work will be easy. Let us stand
up for all we now have and work
strongly for every possible addi-
tion to our advantages as a city.
But there are peculiar advant-
ages in the Y. M. C. A. It should
stand on Its own merit. Our
young men need such a place
open for all. The ladies employ
it for federation meetings. The
public library is there. All these
interests combined give us an
open club for everybody. It is
the people's club. Let us hold it
strongly.
The future of the Y. M. C. A.
rests with us all. We can all
help. Let no one say the strong
only should help. Tho man or
woman of small means owes just
as much a duty as any one else.
Let us not be narrow and attempt
to place the people's business on
a few of our able business men.
If put on a business basis the or-
ganization will receive the sup-
port of our citizens. By all giv-
ing their support the work will be

A Good Name.
From personal oxperionce I
testify that Do Witt's Little Ear-

cause they give strength and en-
ergy and do their work with ease.
—W T Easton, Boerno, Texas.
Thousands of people are using
these tiny little pill- in prefer-
ence to all others, because they
are so pleasant and effectual.
They euro biliousness, 'torpid liv-
er, jaundice sickheadache, consti-
pation, etc. They do not purge
and weaken, but cleanse and
strengthen. Sold by City Drug
Store.
