OLD-TIME COLD CURE j
DRINK HOT TEA! j
. t .
Oct a Mnnll package of Hamburg
Hreaxt Tea, or as tn Gemum folks
call it. "Uamb'irper Btnat Thee," at any
pharmacy. Take a tabU-spoonful of the
tea, puta cup of boiling water upon
it. pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking up a cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

What The Packers
Do For Yon
Not very many years ago in the
history of the world, the man that lived
in America had to hunt for his food,
or go without
Now he sits down at a table and
decides what he wants to eat; or his
wife calls up the market and has it sent
home for him. And what he gets is
incomparably better.
Everyone of us has some part in
the vast human machine, called
society, that makes all this conven
ience possible.
The packer's part is to prepare
meat and get it to every part of the
country sweet and fresh to obtain it
from the stock raiser, to dress it, cool
it, ship it many miles in special refrig
gerator cars, keep it cool at distrib
uting points, and get it into the
consumer's hands your hands
through retailers, all within about
two weeks.
For this service so perfect and
effective that you are scarcely aware
that anything is being done for you
you pay the packers an average profit
of only a fraction of a cent a pound
above actual cost on every pound of
meat you eat.
Swift & Company, U. S. A.
George Washington "It is an old
maxim that the surest way to make
a good peace is to be prepared for
war."
Thomas Jefferson "Weakness pro
vokes Insult and injury, while a con
dition to punish It often prevents it."
llenjamln Franklin "We must In
deed all hang together or, most as
suredly, we will all hang separately."
James Monroe "A defenseless posi
tion and a distinguished love or peaco
are the surest Invitatirns to war."
Andrew Jackson "We shall more
certainly preserve peace when it Is
well understood that we are prepared
for war."
Robert Morris- "The enemy will
sk for peace only when we are in a
position vigorously lo prosecute war."
Liberty Loans of Other Days.
Robert Morris, Superintendent of
Finance In the American Revolution,
in a circular to (he governors of the
states on October li), 1781, wrote:
"It is not by the brilliant successes
of war, the splendor of -.conquest or
the shouts of victory that a wise min
istry are to be affected. The superi-
crity of national resources is the sure
I ground on which to hope for success,;
and that superior resource, steadily
and perseveringly applied, muct even
tually attain its object.
"it is possible that we tire near the
close of this war, nnd perhaps we are
; only In the middle of it. Hut if tho
war should continue, we have to
I blame ourselves; for were these re
' sources called Into action which we
: really possess, the foreign enemies
would soon lose all hope and abandon
their enterprise.
! "If we do our duty now the war will
soon be brought to a close; if not, it
may last for many years, and what
will then be its termination it is not
t In our wisdom to foresee. The enemy
: will ask for peace only when we are
j in a condition vigorously to prosecute
the war.
"It is necessary that we should be
i in condition to prosecute the war with
ease before we can expect to lay down
our arms with security, before we can
' treat of peace honorably, and before
i we can conclude it with advantage.
"Between opposition and submission
there is no middle line. The idea of
! submission is. and ever ought to be,
rejected with disdain. Opposition,
therefore, becomea a matter of neces
sity, and that opposition involves
expense.
"It remains only to provide men
and money, and to make that pro
: vision as early as possible, for the old
I adage that 'he who gives early doubles
thereby hia gift,' can never be more
' applicable than on the present occa
Ion. For whatever may be the dif
; ferent opinions of different men, all
1 must agree that the only way to se
cure peace is to be prepared for war."
Our Fathers' Influence.
As tf to conclude the argument that
we, of today, should hoed the wisdom
of our forefathers, that other great
American, Abraham Lincoln, said:
"I do not mean to say we are bound
to follow implicitly Id whatever our
fathers did. To do so would be to dis
card all the lights of current experience-to
reject all progress, all im
prcvemsnt. What I do say is that if
we would supplant the opinions and
policy of our fathers in any case, we
should do so upen evidence so con
clusive, and argument so clear that
even their great authority, fairly con
sidered and weigred, cannot stand."

cans fresh In the mind who can say
