Everyone speaks well of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy after having used it. Mrs. George Lewis. Pittsfield, N. Y., has this to say regarding it: ''Last winter my little hoy, five years old, was sick with a cold for two or three weeks. I doctored him and used various cough medicines but noth ing did him much good until I began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He then improved rap idly and in a few days was over his cold." Adv. New Mexico Sues Interior Department. The State of New Mexico has commenced an action against the Interior Department to restrain the Secretary of the Interior from cancelling school land selections. The lands in dispute are situated in a national forest, but are al leged to have passed to it prior to the establishment of the forest reserve. The" same condition pre vails in Arizona and any action in respect to the New Mexico case will be final in the matter of school land grants in Arizona. Cocoonino Sun. Stomach Trouble. If you have trouble with your stomach you should try Chamber lain's Tablets. So many have been restored to health by the use of these tablets and their cost is so little, 25 cents, that it is worth while to give them a trial. Adv.
