Is It Worth Trying?
j “If you want to see a smile come
! to the lips of the wjle you love, but
:now thoughtlessly neglect, take
' home a box of candy, or a few ftow-
| ers, tonight, and give them to her
j with the same kiss and embrace
I you used to practice when you
I were courting,” says one of these
1 dear ladies who conducts a woman’s
department in one of the city pa-
pers. We know a fellow who did
that and it worried his poor wife
to death. She was sure_that he
had been up to something and was
trying to square himself before she
got to hear about it.
Rank Foolishness.
You occasionally see it stated that
colds do not result fromcoTd weather,
That is rank foolishness- Were it
true colds would be as prevalent in
midsummer as in midwinter. The
microbe that causes colds flourishes
in damp, cold weather. To get rid of
a cold take Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. It is effectual and is highly
recommended by people who have used
it for many years as occasion required
and know it's real value, Obtainable
everywhere, (Adv.)
