Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would you run and stop it or go and help to put out the fire? It is much the same way with a cough. A cough is a danger sibnal as much as a fire bell. You should no more try to suppress it than to stop a fire bell when it is ringing, tout Should cure the disease -that causes the coughing. This can Jnearly always be done by taking Chamberlain’s Cough Many have used it with the most beneficial results. It is especially valuable for the persistent cough that so often follows a bad cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind., writes: “During the winter my husband takes cold easily and coughs and coughs. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the best medicine i for breaking up these attacks and you cannot get him to take any other.” Obtainable everywhere. C

LITERARY SOCIETY AIDS PHTHISIS FIGHT

Will Sell Red (Cross -Seals and Ask the Aid of All People—lmportant Work. Needs Cash.

The Ladies Literary Society of Rensselaer has again undertaken the important task of selling the Red Cross seals in Jasper county. The money realized goes to the nationwide fight that is being made against consumption and a part remains here for *uch disposition as the club cares tq make for it. Mrs. M. D. .Gwin, the president of the society, states that there is about $6 on hand from last year and it is proposed to keep this money into a fund until there is sufficient to use it effectively. Mrs. Gwin suggested that it might be appropriated in some manner to the new hospital. Thousands of dollars are received each year by the sale of these seals and all who can afford to do so should purchase some. They are neat for letter's and packages and the money goes for a purpose that is important to us all. The Republican will be pleased to give the sale of these seals endorsement and from time to time to publish an article to abet the Sales. It is probable that picture films will also be used at the local theatres to encourage the sales. Every penny you put into the stamps is a contribution to the fight against the white plague. Buy a sheet of the seals you will have done more to make for happiness during the Christmas season than by any number of expensive presents you can give.

DRINK WATER TO AVOID .SICKNESS SAYS AUTHORITY

Glass of Hert Walter Befejre Breakfast Daily Keeps ,the Doctor Away.

Sanitary science has of late made rapid strides with, results that are of untold blessing to humanity. The latest a|rplication of its .untiring research 2s the recommendation tha/t it is as necessary to attend to internal sanitation of the drainage system of the human body as it is to the drains of the house.

Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each moving before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the Stomach, liver and bowels the previous day’s indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, Sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waiste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for-breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the phosphated hot water is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and (getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness l ; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This vilf cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation.

Miss Marguerite Brown announces her weekly assembly at the armory tonight. This will be the last assembly until' after the New Year.

THE WEATHER. Generally fair tonight and Sunday; not much change in temperature.
