Like me farmers holding cotton for stipulated price?, the manufacturers, the druggists and those handling patient medicines, have agreed that all medicines will, hereafter, be sold at regular prices. That is, all medicines priced at 25c., 5Uc. $1 00. will be sold only at ttieee fixed prices. If a dealer violated this agreement be will be* deprived of buying either from the wholesale man or the manufacturers, and consequently is cut entirely out of the butjinet-s This is but meet and proper provided the purity of the article is kept up to first class standard. We have never believed in any cut rate business, even with our general merchants. Tney should be allowed fair, living budtesj profits on their merchandise. Bug the trouble generally comes from one in the mercantile business. Some smart Elick tuinks he will play a big scooping game and receive all the trade by cutting prices, in which he is badly mistakeu and will regret the act in the future, as it is fooliBh to think that any one man or hrui can ac<d will hold all of the trade. Out mer chant can buy and sell as cheaply as another, consequently if he cuts the price it is at his own detriment. In selling at standard prices no one is obliged to be exhorbitant, or take advantage of his customers, but could - ?0 - - be kind and courteous and give first class goods at fair, liviog prices, which certainly would be more satisfactory aod prove successful to his merchants business. There is a wroog impression with some people who thick the merchants profits are enormous, and that they are growing rich from the toils of those who patronage theiu in their business. It is a fact that the profits are much less now than a few yea!8 back. Everything is sold at close prices Double the quantity of goods must be handled to realize the same money of only a few years passed We must all remember, too, *bat. generally the merchants are our best friends. They are obliging and acoammodatiDg and are glad to see the people and country prospering. A Jaaaican Lady Speaks Eighty of Chamberlain's Cough Eeaedy. - -?*- -1 1 TT L Hire. JJXlCJliUU XXill t, wuc W buc uupci intendent of Cart sendee at Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies Islands, says that she has for some years used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for coughs, croup and whooping cough and has found it very beneficial. She has implicit confidence in it and would not be without a bottle of it in her house. Sold by Kauflnann Drug Co. Sis Forgetfolness Beaemberod. A traveler entered the dioing room of a leading hotel in Colorado Springs one Saturday, and after be was Berved with soup he drew a $2 bill from bia pocket and showed it to a waiter, saying: "Jim, I shall be here until next Wednesday and then this will be yours." "All right, sir, I'll take the best care of you sure," replied the waiter. And be did serve the traveler excellently. It happened that on Wednesday morning the traveler was hastily summoned to Denver and it was six weeks before he returned to ths Colorado Springs hotel.

T A Grim Tragedy is daily enacted in thousands of homes ' as death claims in each one another victim of consumption or pneumonia. But when couglis and colds are properly treated, the tragedy is averted. F. G. : Huntley, of Oaklandon, Ind., writes: "My wife had the consumption, and three doctors gave her up. Finally she took Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Couglis and Colds, which cured her, and today she is well and strong. It kills the germs of all diseases. One dose relieves.

Christmas is being cdjoyed to the fullest txieDt. bo much so, Mr. Editor, till I hardly know what is uewe.

"Before we can sympathize with others, we must liave suffered ourselves." No one can realize the suffering attendant upon an attack of the grip, anless he lias had the actual experience. There is probably no disease that causes so much physical and mental agony, or i which so successfully defies medical aid. | All danger from the grip, however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Among the tens of thousands who have used tliis remedy, not one case has ever been reported that has resulted in pneumonia or that has not recovered. For sale by Kaufmann Drug Co.
