1'1he Jefferson lavis Red Cross
Ch(:latcr ehlI its regular mionthi
lyv business imeeting at the
Red C(ross Iheadquarters in .Jen
ili:igs Monday, February 17th, at
2:3) p. in. In spite of the rainy
w=.atther all the branches of the
'hal:ter was represented except
lEltuoi.
'lThe neces'ary business of the
(:lhapter was dispatched, reports
of departlment work cut short,
and the meeting :adjourne(d for
th. more interesting features of
the afternoon.
Mr. (Gamble, presiding,. called
on Mr. E. C. \Villard, chairman
of, the Parish Chapter to speak.
Mr. W\illard responded with a
short talk on the work of the
.ha ter. He was followed b)y
IMr. Gamble who gave the produc
lion of the (hapter for the past
six months.
Mr. (iamble then introduced
C(apt. Taylor, who entertained
his audience with a full account
of lthe mioveients andl actions of
Ih: Jenaings Trool), First Separ
;ate t roop of Louisiana Cavalry,
with himself as Captain, Roy. S.
.Miller ist Lieutenant and Roy
Sutter 1st Sergeant, from the time
of leaving .Jenings to the signing
of the armistice
Capt. Taylor's impersonal re
cital of all the happenings, lion
ors won, favors received, dang
ers faced, discouragements, etc,
held the close attention of his
audience and not a few times the
hearts of his hearers were made
to rejoice over the good and
hr,'vc deeds recounted of the Jen
nings troop (The outline of the
Captain's speech will be publish
ed in the next issue of the Jour
nal.) It was given in to the pa
per in order that those who did
not get to hear Capt. Taylor may
learn of the actions of the
Jennings Cavalry Troop, of
which we are all justly proud.
After Capt. Taylor's speech the
ladies of the Jennings Red (-ross
branch held a reception in his
honor. I)elisious san51dwiches
and collee were served.
DREADFUL COUGH CURED.
A severe cold is often followed by
a rough cough for which Chamber
lain's Cough remedy has proven es
pecially valuable. Mrs. F. W. Olsen,
Marysville, Mo., writes: "About two
years ago my little Jean caught a
severe cohl and caughed dreadfully
for days. I tried a number of cough
medicines but nothing did him any
good until I gave him Chamberlain's
Cough remedy. It relieved his cough
right away and before he had :in
ished taking one bottle he was cured.
I think it is just fine for children."

GETTING RID OF COLDS.
The easiest and quickest way
get rid of a cold is to take
berlain's Cough remedy. This
aration has been in use for
years and its value fully proven.
matter what remedy you use,
ever, care must be taken not to
tract a second cold before you
recovered from the first one,
there is serious danger of thir'
man of middle age or older should
to bed and stay in bed until
recovered. It is better to stay
bed three days at the start
three weeks later on.
