Dangers of the Grip.
The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used , however , and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken , all
danger will be avoided. Among the tens
of thousands who have used this remedy
for la grippe we have yet to learn of a
single case having resulted in pneumonia
which shows conclusively that this rem
edy is a certain preventive of that dan
gerous disease. It will cure la grippe in
less time than any other treatment. It
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by

Dear Mother and Father : I received your

time to answer it. We have changed
camps and are now eight miles inland ,

May the Lord comfort the hearts of
the bereaved parents and family. A
word in verse to the parents and family :
Of the little life you cherished here
Six months had scarce gone "round ,
When you were called to yield it up
And lay it 'neath the ground.
Your hearts are sad and lonely now.
Your eyes with tears are oft filled ,
But we have prayed that you might say :
Be it as God willed.
For some day on the heavenly shore.
If you are faithful here ,
You'll meet the one that's gone before
And no more parting fear.
We hope , dear friends , that God you'll love
And closely cling to Him ,
Into heaven above , thro' His great lo\e ,
He'll let you enter in.

HAVE YOU ANY IDEA OF WHAT IT HAS
DONE FOR YOU I
And , a * to Wliat Yon Might Do la
Return , Have Yon Ever Given Tfaat
m. FmulnK ThouRlitAn Editor's
Interesting lie-view of the Subject.
The paper has done GO things for yon
and is only anxious to do 50 more.
It told yonr friends when your par
ents were married.
It announced to the world when yon
wore born.
It recorded the great events of your
childhood , when yon were lost as a
wandering baby , when yon bad the
measles and scarlet fever , when you fell
into the washtab and nearly drowned ,
when you fell from the cherry tree and
broke your collar bone , when you first
started to school and when you earned
your first prize.
Later on it told how you had com
pleted the studies of the district school
and how eloquently yon recited yonr
graduating oration.
It told of your entering high school or
academy. It told of your contests in
baseball and tennis. It told of your de
parture for college or your first venture
in business.
It told of your various visits back to
the old home neighborhood , and it al
ways wished you well in your greatest
undertakings.
It hinted modestly about the first
time yon went a courting and gave
timely warning to "hex folks" that the
neighbors knew that matters were grow
ing interesting over their way.
It announced the time of your expect
ed wedding , and it published the notice .
of the marriage license and gave yon a j
nice puff concerning the wedding cere
mony.
It told of your extended honeymoon
tour and of your settling down to house
keeping.
When you were sick , the home paper
week by week informed your more dis
tant neighbors of your lapses and im
provements.
It told about your lost cow and led
to her recovery. It told how your horse
had been stolen and led to the arrest of
the thief.
When you were getting dull and tired
through the monotony of your labor ,
the paper urged that the people get up
a celebration , and you were named as
one of a suitable committee on arrange
ments. And when it was all over , it
gave you just praise for the success of
the undertaking.
In numerous ways the paper haste
to put your nama before the pee
ple. And you would never have had
your lucrative office or your honorable
recognition from the community but for
the kind aid of the local printer.
If you are a member of a Sunday
school or society of any sort , that same
paper publishes your announcements
and the various proceedings of your
meetings.
It tells the people .much which yon
would like to have known , but which
modesty or necessity prevents you from
telling.
If yon and all your folks have been
prosperous and fortunate in your affairs ,
the paper has boosted you all the way.
If yon have had misfortune , the paper
asked for sympathy in your behalf.
Thus the paper has rejoiced when you
rejoiced and wept when you wept. If
you are a good and enterprising citizen ,
the paper will always be your friend
and will back you in your enterprises
and will help to find your business
friends.
It tells you where to buy and where
to sell. It tells of rogues to be avoided.
It tells yon of current prices and pre
vents you from being cheated and swin
dled in 100 ways.
Finally , when you die , the paper will
publish your obituary and will cover
over your faults and will recite the
story of your good deeds.
All these things the local editor will
cause his paper to do , but no one else
in the world will do them or can do
them for you even for love or money.
The outside paper is a stranger to your
little world and is not at all interested
in its improvement Yet your local pa
per does all this free of cost to you , if
you are" willing to receive it that way.
However , for your sake , we hope yon
are too generous to accept eo many un
requited favors and that yon are willing
to reciprocate the same.
Help the editor. Be bis friend , and ho
will prove his friendship to you.
Subscribe for his paper and pay for
it J regularly in advance and get yonr
neighbors to do the same.
Send him the uows or occasionally a
watermelon or a peck of peaches.
Invite him to your picnics and fam
ily dinners , so thnt ho can eat a square
meal occasionally.
Don't call the ticket you give him to
the church concert a deadhead. Ho'
can't buy tickets from everybody to
everything , but ho will say kind words
of your performances and thus lead oth
ers to buy your tickets.
If you have anything to buy or sell ,
let the paper assist you to find custom
ers. Advertising that really pays the
printer benefits both advertisers and
readers.
If you have any job printing to do , c
don't take it to an outside office , but 1
give your newspaper the first chance. g
Give tho.editora pointer occasionally c.
cr write him sensible short articles and
don't get mad if ho fails to see every
thing your way. When ho does say a
good thing , tell him so.
In short , remember the golden rule
and don't forgot the editor of your local
paper. Richmond ( Ind. ) Enterprise.
