When You Have a Cold. It is when you have a severe cold that you appreciate the good qualities of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs. Frank Crocker, Pana, 111., writes: "Our rive-year-old son, Paul, caught a severe cold last winter that settled on his lungs and he had terrible cough ing spells. We were greatly worried about him as the medicine we gave him did not help him in the least. A neighbor spoke so highly of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy that I got a bottle of it. The first dose benefited him so much that I continued giving it to him until he was cured." HOMES TO RENT. We will rent you a home of any size from a single room to all 8-room home.

C,, Feb. .22.-r-A re markable expansion in the American potash industry has resulted from ef forts to make the United States inde pendent of foreign sources for the pot ash used in munitions and for other nut-poses, and although the boom did not get under way until late in 101 1, production during the calendar year reached a value ten times as great as that of Ivlo. The li'it! production is estimated, in a preliminary report published today by the geological survey, at 10.000 tons, with a value of iV00,U0O. The estimate is based on incomplete re turns, which to date have accounted for 8.S:0 ton-.. In 1017, the report says, with the boom in full swing, a much greater total will be shown. Of the 8,S3' tons reported. r.7 0 were produced from mineral and li.OO from organic sources. Natural suits and brines yielded 3,S.0 tons; alunite and silic-vte rocks, 1,000 tons; kelp, 1,110 tons; penrlash. 220 tons, and miscellaneous industrial wastes, l.T.'.O ton;;. "The large.--1 output," the report says, "comes from the Nebraska alka'i lakes, but the natural sa'ine deposits elsewhere are now ju.-l beginning to make important contributions.' The recovery of potash from pcarjash is an oh! established industry. A grot deal of publicity has attended the ef forts t; obtain potash from V.dp. but r. similar arganic source of high-grade ! potash salts has bet. n quietly di.vel ! oped, whkh has proved more prcduc ! tive. Indeed, the '.onorted production of a single establishment ouU-atihe i tho "entire nroduct of potash from keln plants." PLEASANT BIRTHDAY PARTY AT RHODE!

If people past sixty years of age could be persuaded to go to bed as soon as they take cold and remain in bed for one or two day?, they wouki recover much more quickly, especially if they take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. There would also be less danger of the cold being followed by any of the more'serious diseases. Chamberlain's Tablets.
