Why Colds Are Dangerous.
You are often told to "beware of
a cold." but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, low
ers the vitality and paves the way
for the more serious diseases. Pea
pie who contract pneumonia first
take cold. The longer a cold hangs
on, the greater the danger, especial
ly from the germ diseases, as a
cold prepares the system for the re
ception and development of the
germs ol consumption, diphtheria,
scarlet fever and whooping cough.
Th quicker you pet rid of your
cold, the less the danger of contract
ing one of these diseases. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has a great
reputation as a cure for colds and
can be depended upon. It is pleas
ant to take.
For tasty printing you can't

HE EPWORTH
LEAGUE BAN
QUET SUCCESS
I
WAS GIVEN AT THE CHURCH
PARLORS LAST NIGHT BY
TEE YOUNG PEOPLE.
GMSTiGN OF A CAMPAIGN
Which Had Been Under Way for a
Considerable Length of Time
Erjeyable Occasion.
From Friday's Pally.
The Epworth League of the First
Methodist church held a banquet
last evening in the parlors of the
church, at which time there were
one hundred members and friends of
the lepgue in attendance. The
League, during the past few months,
has taken on a special activity in all
departments of its work and this
""vent was one planned by the so
cial department and was one of the
l'ost pleasant occasions in the long
'.irtory of the society. The parlors
t the church were handsomely dec
. rated in the colors of the League,
which are red and white, the badge
nd motto occupying a prominent
:!ace above the speakers' table. The
.vpast was prepared by the ladies of
he church and the tables were serv
1 by the mothers of present mem
bers of the Epworth League.
The menu, the table decorations
:ul every appointment of the service
ere highly pleasing to all of the
tests and showed a very paiustak-
ng ctTort on the part of the social
unmittee of the League, whose
(hairman is Mrs. Goi lman. By cour-:-sy
of the Kroehler Orchestra, swe--U
,i!sic was dispensed throughout the
ve::ing and this was one of the very
; njoyalde features to all present.
The Epworth League is the soci-
. y of young people of the Methodist
t'.'.urch. It whs organized in Cincin
- Hi in and the Plattsmouth
iiapter No. '.(',2 was organized in
tsl'4. There are still in the chap
' i t some of the charier members
: nd among the seventy-five present
".".enibership are enrolled almost all
' !" the young people of the local
hurch. J. P. Perrv is at present the
osident of the League and his ef
rts towards the success of this
nlendid branch of the church espec-
illy devoted to the young people are
i be highly commended. The great
:ntenarv program now in progress
i the Methodist church is calling
r one hundred per cent efficiency
i t verv branch, r. nd the League is
endeavoring to fall in lire with its
'hare of support and co-operation.
The toast list which followed the
erving of the banquet, was one of
tdeudid merit and indicated a strong
delicious and social spirit dominat
ing the thought and purpose of the
;nrt icipants of the program and
hose whom thev represented. The
Mast master was Mason Wescott and
Lis initial effort on this occasion was
;e of credit and pleasing success,
lie called attention to the fact that
the banquctters were seated in three
groups, the "Wassers," the "Issers."
and the "Tobeers." The number of
"Issers" was of course much larger
'aan the other two groups, but the
ones who have been active in pasf
years and the tables of juniors who
will be the Leaguers of the future
years made a happy combination
with the larger number of those who
are now carrying on the work.
Clara Mae Morgan, in a very well
prepared a n d cleverly delivered
speech, spoke for the ."Issers." Her
remark.? were most appropriate to
the occasion ami brought to this
young speaker a large measure of
credit for the thoughts advanced
and the graceful presentation of
them. -Mrs. R. B. Hayes spoke on
the "Wassers" and in a series of
both humorous and sober reflections
brought to the attention of the ban
queters the relation of the past and
present in young peoples work. Miss
Ciara Johnson represented the
League of the future and she was a
t-plendid representative of that com
pany of young people who will make
up the future Epworth League.
Florence Balsar, who is one of the
present officers of the League, sioke
inspiring- on the subject of "Our
Aims." Two musicial selections con
tributed to the delight of those
present a ladies quartette by Mis
ses Lillian Adams. Florence Balsar.
Mina Kafl'enbergor and Delia Frans.
These ladies were called upon for an
encore to their number and gave a
very pleasing response.
J ne closing musical number was.
unique in character as it represent-!
ed all three classes of guests. Thomas
Glenn, who is one of the remaining
few of the d. A. K.. and one of the
senior members of the church and

ment was taken to the auditorium of

ture and steroptican views on the
subject of the Methodist Centenary

Lincoln, March 21st. Attorney
General Clarence A. Davis lias writ
ten to the Kansas Railway commis
sion, asking that Nebraska be al
lowed to join in the attack of the
Burleson telephone rates in a cHrect
suit brought in the supreme court of
the I'nited States by the Kansas
commission. Mr. Davis has sent the
following letter to the Kansas com
mission: "I note an Associated Press report
to the effect that the supreme court
of the I'nited States has given you
permission to file a suit, directly
attacking the power of Postmaster
General Burleson to raise telephone
rates all over the Knited States.
"I feel that the state of Nebraska
is as vitally interested in this mat
ter as is Kansas. I feel, as yon al
lege, that the new system of rate
proposed by the postmaster general
is 'unlawful, arbitrary, unjust and
oppressive.' I shall be glad to d'
anything in my power to assist you
in a successful prosecution of this
suit.
"I Teel that the people of Ne
braska will be saved a great dral of
money if these new rates can be
invalidated. I would therefore like
to co-operate with you in any way
you deem advisiblp, even to the ex
tent of joining with you in this ac
tion if you so desire."
