A severe cold is often followed
by a rough cough for which
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has proven especially valuable.
Mrs. F. W. Olsen, Marys ville,
Mo., writes: "About two years
ago my little boy Jean caught
a severe cold and coughed dread
fully for days. I tried a numbei

did him any good until I gave
him Chamberlain's Cough Reme
dy. It relieved his cough right
away and before he had finished
taking one bottle he was cured.
I think it is just fine for children. '

News Items From
Navajo County
From Holbrook Tribune.
Good roads, and especially the
maintenance and improvement of
the Old Trail Highway across
northern Arizona, so that trans
continental tourists will continue
to come this way in increasing
numbers, is receiving special at
tention of the Holbrook Chamber
of Commerce. Effort is also be
ing direeted to the improvement
of the road between Holbrook
and St. Johns. It is believed that
government and state aid to the
extent of $30,000 is practically
assured for this project, the same
to be spent in improving four
miles of the road where it goes
through the most beautiful part
of the Petrified Forest. With
the improvement of this road,
more tourists will make Holbrook
their headquarters.
Supervisor John A. Freeman
says that the road recently con
structed between Snowflake and
St. Johns has been finished with
the exception of a couple of
bridges that part within Nav
ajo county. There is a short dis
tance in Apache county which
that county will have to attend to.
Engineer Gustav Becker, Apache
county engineer, made an inspec
tion of the road and pronounced
it an excellent piece of work.
Doubtless the eastern end in Apa
che will soon be constructed.
Among the important happen
ngs of the week that are worthy
of mention is the fact that Clerk
of the Court Lloyd C. Henning is
the father of an 8-pound boy,
born to Mrs. Henning at Phoenix
at 8:30 o'clock Saturday morning.
Both mother and son are doing
nicely and Lloyd is generously
'setting up" the cigars to his
friends in honor of the event.
Word has been received from J.
W. Richards, representative to
the legislature from Navajo coun
ty, to the effect that it is quite
ikely that the legislature will
pass the bill to cover the expense
incurred in the recent influenza
ourge in this county. The bill
was introduced by our represent
ative.
In speaking of the attendance
at the road convention at Phoe
nix, a dispatch to the Tucson
Star says: "The largest delega
tion from the northern section to
the good roads convention here
came from Navajo county. There
were 20 members in the delega
tion." Navajo county, according to
Clerk of the Board, Teeple, has
expended $300,000 in road work
and repairs during the past two
years.
Getting Rid of Colds.
The easiest and quickest way to
get a rid of a cold is to take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This preparation has been in use
for many years and its value ful
ly proven. No matter what rem
edy you use, however, care must
be taken not to contract a second
cold before you have recovered
from the first one, and there is
serious danger of this. A man
of middle age or older should go
to bed and stay in bed until fully
recoyered. It is better to stay in
bed three days at the start than
three weeks later on . Adv.
Help For Near East
Flour Sold in Mid-Ocean
Herbert Hoover sold the Amer
ican Committee for Relief in the
Near East seven thousand tons of
flour, the flour at the time of the
sale being on a ship in the Medi
terranean. The price of the car
go was $1,200,000, and immedi
ately on the closing of the bar
gain, the Keiiet uommittee order
ed the ship by wireless to head at
once tor Constantinople, trom
which point the flour will be dis
tributed to the starving districts
in Armenia, byna, and other
Near Eastern countries. This,
however, say relief workers is
only a drop in the bucket as com
pared with the widespread need
of these people, and several more
thousand tons of provisions must
be sent to drive starvation out of
Western Asia,
German Ships Used For Relief
Secretary Daniels has lent two
former German ships, now the
U. S. naval transports Mercurius
and Pensacola, to the American
Committee for Relief in the Near
East. One has already sailed
with 150 male relief workers, five
million yards of khaki cloth, and
food, clothing and agricultural
upplies for the Armenians, Syri
ans, and other war sufferers in
the Near East. Part of the
funds obtained from the Armenian-Syrian
Relief Campaign will
be used for equipping a second
relief ship to sail the middle of
ebruary.
Three-Fourths May Perish
One month's delay in sending
relief to the Near East means
20.000 deaths, this number in
creasing as the colder months of
winter draw on, says William S.
Nelson, American Consular Agt.
at Tripoli, Syria, and Charles S.
Dana, American Relief executive
at Constantinople last year. The
same cablegram also states that
not more than one-fourth of the
Armenian population will survive
until next harvest with present
relief resources.
It Is Up To Us
It is up to the private generosi
ty in America to aid the starving
countries of the Near East which
have been oppressed by the Turk,
says a cablegram from Herbert
Hoover. In spite of the relief
program being worked out by the
Interallied World Relief Commit
tee and the appropriation for
food, the salvation of Armenia,
Syria, and Aisa Minor must come
from America, until these coun
tries have a real political status
and become self-supporting.
