Sound Foundation. The fact that the officers of the club had been able to provide such a hon e without exhausting the limited re sources was indicative of business-like methods from the outlet and was an assurance that the organization was iiuilded on a sound foundation. It should live on, the president said, and endeavor toobiaiu the preferment and recognition for Hock Island in the e lannels of trade that a citv of its size was entitled to.

Editor of TnE All ots: We have ia our township what is known as the Drury toll road." Xxw, while many are led to believe (especially after reading the report of the county board committee which inspected the road) that we have a line road. I must say that such is not always the case.. So far as the report of the committee is concerned, it is true enough. But why is it that the road is inspected only when in tine condition? If the supervisors want to know what a line road we have let them send their committeeaud inspect the road now, and 1 think theyj.wiil change their minds, for there is not another piece of road in Drury town ship as rough as the toil road1' at the present writing and has leen for several days. And I think it about time something be done about it. This is not the only time it has beea so, nor am I alone in thinking as I do. Yours respectfully,.

How to Prevent Pnenmonia. You are perhaps aware that pneu monia always results from a cold or from an attack of la grippe. During the epidemic of la grippe a few years ago when so many cases resulted in pneumouia, it was observed that the attack was never followed by that dis ease when Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a cold or la grippe to re sult in that dangerous disease. It is the best remedy in the world for bad colds and la grippe. Every lxttle war ranted.
