One Minute Cough Cure is not a mere expectorant, which gives only temporary relief. It softens and liqui­ fies the mubous, draws out the inflama- tion and removes the cause of the dis­ ease. Absolutely safe. Acts at once. "One Minute Cough Cure will do all that is claimed for it," says Justice of the Peace, J. Q. Hood, Crosby, Miss. "My wife could not get her breath and was relived by the first dose. It has been a benefit to all my family. Julia A. Story, McHenry; G. W. Besley, West McHenry. A Boy's Com position. Pants are made for men and not for women. Women are made for men and not for pants. When a man pants for a woman and a woman pants for a man they are a pair of pants. Such pants don't last. Pants are like molas­ ses, they are thinner in hot weather and thicker in cold. Men are often mistaken in pants; such pants are breeches of promise, There has been much discussion 'whether pantB is singu­ lar or plural. Seems to us when men wear pants it is plural, and when they don't wear any pants it is singular. Men go on a tear in their pants, and it is all right; when the pants go on a tear it is all wrong. If you want to make the pants last, make the coat first. For the Complexion. The oomplexion always suffers from biliousness or constipation. Unless the bowels are kept open the impurities from the body appear in the form of un­ sightly eruptions. De Witt's Little Early Risers keep the liver and bowels in healthy condition and remove the cause of such troubles. C. E. Hooper, Albany, Ga., says: "I took DeWitt's Little Early Risers for biliousness. They were just what I needed., I am feeling better now than in years." Never gripe or distress. Safe, thorough and gentle. The very beet pills. Julia A. Story, McHenry; G. W. Besley, West McHenry. Hints About the Newest Hats. The new hats remain, in nine cases out of ten, low and flat both as to shape and style of trimming, showing a very decided tendency to fall low over the hair in the back, and to droop well over the edges of the brain at all times. This fashion is decidedly a pretty one, es­ pecially in summer hats, as laoee and flowers can be used most effectively in this manner. Many of the larger hats show uneven brims, the edges being bound with silk and wired into drooping and downward or sharply upward curves becoming to any face.--Mrs. Ralston, in the April Ladies' Home Journal. Would Smash the Club. If members of the "Hay Fever As­ sociation" would use Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, the club would go to pieces, for it always cures this malady,-and Asthma, the kind that baffles the dectors-it wholly drives from the system. Thousands of once hope­ less sufferers from Consumption, Pneu­ monia, Bronchitis owe their lives and health to it It conquers Grip, saves little ones from Croup and Whooping Cough and is positively guaranteed for all Throat and Lung troubles. 50c,$ 1.00.
