■CROUP — - IS NOTHING that strikes terror to the | I hearts of parents more than to be awakened in I J the night by the ringing cough which accompanies I I an attack of croup. The child may retire with |K>othing but a slight cold and a few hours later the family IMbe aroused by the ominous symptoms. Every home where |Hthere are small children should be prepared for these sud■■tlen attacks, as prompt treatment is necessary. Do not ■■experiment with remedies of doubtful value, but get | CHAMBERLAIN’S ■COUGH REMEDY ■that has been in use for nearly forty years and never known ||to fail.

| | Mr. Homer Krohn, of Lisbon, ■Kiowa, in a letter to the manufacgKturers of Chamberlain's Cough SKMemedy praises this medicine for ■Kwhat it has done for his children. BKHe says: “It has not only saved MEthem once but many a time. Only weeks ago my boy had the ■■croup so bad in the night that had gMt not been for having a bottle of Cough Remedy in SB’the house he would have choked SBbefore a doctor could have gotten HBto the house. It is a medicine that ||Blio one should be without at any BErtitue.’’ It is pleasant to take and ■Klnany children like it.

I « Attacks of croup are most likely to occur during the early lEwinter months, and every family with gibe prepared for it Keep a bottle of CHAMBERLAINS licOUGH REMEDY in your home. It only costs a quarter, Marge size 50 cento. Your druggist sells it

“We guarantee every bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,” says W. M. Parish, Palmerston, Ontario. “Out of the many bottles sold last winter not one was returned.

When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse an attack of croup may be averted. This medicine is entirely free from narcotics or injurious substances of any kind and may be given to the little ones with abso- 4 lute safety. f

Showing the Importance of a Proposal. <> 0 [Copyright, 1908. by American Press Association.] Mr. Brown Reed wished to marry Miss Francesca Singleton, and Miss Singleton was ready to marry Mr. Brown Reed. The only thing needed to complete this desideratum was a proposal. Mr. Reed considered this a mere form.

He asked the lady to go to church with him one Sunday evening and during the walk to the sanctuary endeavored to dispose of the matter. Unfortunately his repugnance to saying the words delayed him until the couple were going Into the church door, when he blurted them. In another moment he was standing in a pew by the girl to whom they had been spoken without a reply and singing, “Onward, Christian Soldier.” He regretted that be had not gone onward a trifle more rapidly. Mr. Reed fully expected that Miss Singleton would at least refer to his proposition as soon as they had left the church. To his surprise she did not. When they reached her house she asked him to come in. He said it was rather late and he thought he would go home. Mr. Brown felt very uncomfortable. He made a confidant of his friend Truby Robbins. Truby laughed at him. “Serves you right,” he said, “for proposing to a girl on your way to church. You might as well have done it at a funeral. Do it again and under more favorable circumstances.” Brown Reed's second attempt was in this wise: He bought a couple of seats at the theater and invited Miss Singleton to go to the play with him. She accepted with pleasure. There was lovemaking in the play and a fascinating hero who made a proposal in such graceful form that It brought down the house. After the performance Reed walked home with Miss Singleton and, after several efforts to get out what was on bls mind, said: “I am going to repeat what I have once said to you—l love you and invite you to be my wife.” “And I decline the Invitation,” said Miss Singleton sharply. Again Mr. Brown Reed sought his friend Truby Robbins and told him all. “What a blunderer,” said Robbins, "to put your proposal in contrast with that of a finished actor! But don’t be discouraged. Try it again. You’ve simply been unfortunate in the time and place of your proposals.” “What kind of a time and place would you suggest?” asked Reed. “I’ll tell you. We’re going to have a slide tonight with the Toboggan club. Bring your girl on my Invitation. There will be merrymaking In the crisp air, laughing, shouting, Chinese lanterns, boys and girls in blanket suits, and all that. You can get her In the dark and tell your story to the best advantage. Is it a go?" Reed consented, but he was getting discouraged. He informed Miss Singleton of the invitation, and she accepted again “with pleasure." When the evening came round he called for her to find her in a very becoming toboggan suit, while he was In ordinary clothes. She looked disappointed. On arriving at the club grounds every man except Reed looked liked a Canadian voyageur. “Great Scott!” sang out Truby Robbins. “Why didn’t you wear the blankets?” “Oh, I’m not a member of your club; I’m only a visitor. Besides, I’m no man for show; I’m only plain Brown Reed.”

Robbins was called away, and Reed took Miss Singleton to the slide where the toboggans were shooting down over the ice. The couple did their share of the tobogganing, sometimes together, sometimes apart. Reed looked for a dark corner and found one very near the starting point. He inveigled Miss Singleton into it and began his proposal as follows: “Once on our way to church I asked you an Important question. I got no reply. Again I asked it on our return from the theater. I met with a refusal. Once more I say I love you and”— “Hi! You there! Room for two more on this toboggan.” Miss Singleton made a rush for the toboggan as if to escape from further persecution. Reed followed her, taking his place directly behind her, and the toboggan was shoved on to the incline. Reed was mad. He swore be would finish his proposal if he had to do It In an upset. “Will you be my wife?” he shouted in her ear. When they reached the bottom of the slide Miss Singleton arose from the toboggan and made a bee line for the gate. A street car was passing, and she boarded it Reed stood paralyzed for awhile; then be walked home. Robbins having proved a bad adviser, the unfortunate lover sought comfort elsewhere. He went to his aunt "Poor fellow,” said that lady soothingly. “I’ll set you right. I know my sex perfectly. The proposal Is a very important matter in a love affair. Though plain Brown Reed, you must do it in the right way. Come to my fancy dress ball next week and come as Byron’s Corsair. I’ll suggest to Miss Singleton to come as Medora. Meanwhile I’ll send you a form for a brief proposal. Commit it to memory.” Brown was a good looking fellow, and when Miss Singleton saw him in a romantic costume and in an alcove he whispered the proposal his aunt had written for him she in reply whispered “Yes,” and her head fell on his shoulder with a thud.

But Holthouse Drug Co. can afford to make this offer because he knows that M'-o-na tablets are a worthy stomach remedy, and that the makers will back up the generous offer. And so we say to all readers of the Democrat suffering or ailing with any stomach trouble, try Mi-o-na. It has such a mighty and powerful influence on the stomach that it immediately refreshes and relieves, then invigorates and cures. It strengthens the stomach walls, puts the stomach In such perfect condition that it can digest food without pain or other distressing symptoms. It cures by removing the cause, and It removes the cause 96 times in a hundred. A large box of Mi-o-na tabets only costs 50 cents, and relief will come in 24 hours. “Mi-o-na tablets are truly great for any one that has stomach trduble. I cannot praise them too highly for what they have done for me.” —Mrs. I V/. D. Bennett, Bucksport, Me. |
