The Cough That Clings:
Tiffe steady, persistent cough that never quite dis-
appears under the use of ordinary cough remedies t
is ($ue to a different condition than the cough which
results from a cold.
It is due to a chronic weakness and irritation of the |
tissues of the air passages and must be overcome *
by a treatment that will build up the entire system |
and restore the throat and lungs to normal condi-
tion. For this purpose use our

TO BOYS AND GIRLS IN COLLIN
COUNTY
President Wilson is sending to
you thru our department a spec
ial message, lie wants every
boy and girl in this county to en-
list in the army of food produc-
ers. He considers this army
just as important as the hoys in
uniform. He says without either
one of these armies we will not
win the war.
He has sent a special agent to
Collin county to help the boys
and giris in this army work.
This man is J. S. Campbell, now
at McKinney. Mr. Campbell
will not have time to see all the
boys and girls in time to enlist
them in this campaign. He is
sending you this greeting and
wants to get acquainted with
every one of you. He will be at
McKindpy every Saturday anil
especially invites you to come to
his office and visit him. During
the week lie will be at, his office
working with the clubs,
H6 offers you eight different,
branches of the service in which
you may work, Pig, Lamb, Baby
Beef, Poultry, Corn, Cotton,
Canning, and Home Garden
Clubs. There is not a boy or
girl in Collin County who can’t
help win this war by joining one
or more of these clubs. Talk it
over with your school teacher and
parents and write Mr. Campbell
telling him which club you want
to join, and be will send you full
instructions. As soon as you
get enough in any school he will
come and help you organize your
part of the army, giving you all
tin* help possible.'
President Wilson calls every
man who fails to do his part in
the army a slacker. He calls
every one who fails to do his or
her part in this food producing
army a slacker.
Now let us all pull together
and show onr President that Col-
lin county will do all in her pow-
er to nelp win this war.
Louis F. Arnold.
County Demonstration Agent.
The Star-Courier invites at-
tention to the announcement of
J. T. Horn as a candidate for
county commissioner of this, the
Fourth district of Collin county.
Mr. Horn is one of the best
known citizens and business
men of the county, having lived
at Plano for thirty years and
having been in business here
che greater part of that time. He
has always boon enterprising
and public spirited, taking a
lively intorest in public affairs.
He is at present a mem bar of the
county Democratic executive
committee and is president of
the city school board, but during
all of his activities has never be-
f re asked for a county7 office.
He is well qualified to fill the
position, has many friends and
will make a good race. The
Star Courier might also add that
at one time he was editor and
owner of this paper, and bespeak
for him the encouragement that
is justly due to any man who has
had firmness enough to break
himself of the habit of printing a
country newspaper and has gone
to work and made a good living.
We recommend this Oil because it is always fresh
and palatable. It contains the highest possible per-
centage of pure Norwegian cod liver oil.

Food Conservation
Speeches Monday |
i
Miss Fine, of Dallas, will speak
in Plano next Monday, January
28, for national conservation of
food. Three speeches will be
made in thw morning to the chil
dren at the school, in the after-
noon to the ladies and at night to
the people of the city collec-
tively, The place and hour of
tin' two latter addresses will be
announced later.
In the Star Courier to-day will
he found the announcement of
Kugene Baldwin for re-election
county commissioner of this dis-
trict. In making the announce
ment the Star Courier feels that
it is not necessary to give a long
account of the way in which he
has discharged his public duties
in times past nor of the way his
friends expect he will discharge
them in the future, for he has
been an official of this city and
of Collin county, and others
know as well as the writer that
he has always been a capable,
conscientious public servant, and
that if ho is re elected lie. will
continue to be so. Of course his
experience as county commis-
sioner has enabled him to grow
in usefulness, for the office is one
|of much importance where ex
perience is very helpful. Mr.
Baldwin is a good officer, a clev
or, accommodating gentleman,
and is justly popular—asubstan
tial proof of which is the numer
ous solicitations that have come
to him Iron, all parts of the dis
trict to make the race for re
election.
Judge Cottrell was in east
Texas the past week where he
went to represent a client who
had appealed from tee ruling of
the local exemption board in
placing him in Class 1. The
cass was appealed and the rog
istrant re classified and placed
in class I on account of being en-
gaged in an agricultural pursuit.

Saturday to attend a conference

well calculated to advance the
candidacy of his favorite.

W« are now installing a new Midget-Marvel flour
mill, the latest model, to take the place of the one
