A Hint to the Aged.
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 days, they would
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 serieus diseases.

Among Prize Men in Exhibition
Bayonet Drill.
. The third platoon of the second
infantry company in the officers'
training camp has been chosen by
Captain Owen, British instructor,
to stage an exhibition bayonet drill
before the officers of this division
next Tuesday afternoon?
The third platoon won the honor
to represent the infantry compa
nies of the school in the big ex
hibition by outclassing 11 other
platoons in competitive trials con
ducted by Captain Owen a week
ago.
The British instructor was so en
thusiastic over the wonderful
showing made by the 42 men of the
third platoon that he devoted con
siderable time to giving them spe
cial instruction in bayonet work so
that they might give a comprehen
sive exhibition bcforc.tlic 2,000 of
ficers of the division.
Our own Donald Finkbciner of
Perrysburg is one of the men com
prising the platoon, and despite
the fact that they have been train
ing but five weeks, all arc pro
nounced experts as bombers and
bayonetists.

About Constipation.
Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand, raw,
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote a movement of the
bowels." When the bowels are badly
constipated, however, ihe sure way is
to take one or two of Chamberlain's
Tablets immediately after supper
