Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold. A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana, writes; “Last year I suffered for three months with a summer cold so distressing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symp toms of hay fever, and a doctor’s pre scription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seem ed to only aggravate my case. For tunately I insisted upon having Fo ley’s Honey and Tar in the yellow package, and it quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley's Hon ey and Tar with the same success.’’ Cherokee Drug Co.

TAFT REVIEWS BIG PARADE Old Campaigners of Grant and Sher. man Moved to the Blare of Bands and the Pipe and Roll of Fife and Drum. Toledo, O., Sept. 8.—'With flags flying, bands playing, crowds cheer ing uud a bright sky overhead, veter. ans of the Grand Army of the Re* public for the forty-second time marched through the streets of an en campment city Wednesday. Through two miles of streets, guarded by a younger generation of soldiers—the tSeventh regiment, O. IN. G. t who re strained the throngs of sightseers at the ropes, the old campaigners of Grant and Sherman moved to the blare tf bands and the pipe and roll of flfo and drum. Taft Reviews Parade. At the official reviewing stand where stood William H. Taft, republican candidate for president, Governor Har ris, Senator Foroker, Mayor Brand Whitlock and many other notables, the colors were dipped and each de partment commander joined Oomman- der-inCbtef Burton on the stand. The parade being the leading feature of the encampment, many poets timed their arrival for that event and the crowd of visitors was augmented by thousands during the night. The day had been proclaimed a hol iday by the mayor and the majority of business places as well as all pub lic offices were closed. The long and wearing delay at the various points of mobilization while waiting for the proper place to fall in, discouraged some of the more fee ble veterans and they joined the spec tators. Immense Human Flag. It was well towards 11 o’clock when the van of the parade marched past the reviewing stand where they were saluted with a bombardment of flowers, for which surprise the women of Tol edo had been preparing for eome days. They emerged from the floral shower to b« greeted by an immense human flag made up of nearly 8,(KlO children who, in their dresses of red, white and blue, swayed their bodies so that the emblem seemed to sway as in a breeze. The old soldiers saluted the pieture with mnny a wave of hat and hand and hummed as they marched to patri otic songs the children sang. At the rendezvous points of the va rious departments coffee and sand wiches were served to the waiting veterans and those who desired to do so were allowed to carry away their cups as souvenirs. Local newspapers estimate that In cluding the veterans and their women folk, there were 150,000 visitors in’ the city. VERMONT ELECTION. Republican Vote Smallest in Presi dential Year Since 1892.
