It Quiets
the Cough
This Is one reason why Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral is so valua

the wear and tear of useless
coughing. But it does more
—it controls the inflammation,
quiets the fever, soothes, heals.
Ask your doctor about this.

IHE DARK CORNER
Zaeh MeChee's delightful story
of Educational Reform?
Full of fact, philosophy and fun. but above all a good story, dramatic and absorbing.
The school fakir, the ignorant preacher, the pompous statesman, the country camp-meet
ing, the HolllsvlHe Collegiate Military Institute, Professor Jefferson Marqulnius Tllson,
President, with Its drills and entertainments—the accent on the ments—are all there, with
the appropriate and familiar trappings, fantastic regalia and general high mightiness.
There is a beautiful love story as the real b tsis of the novel, and a thrilling story of a gen
eral awakening wrought by an ardent young school reformer. •
The Dark Corner is a book that should take Its place beside “David llarum." “Mrs. *
Wlgzs" and a few other select volumes which paint contemp >rary life “as she is lived."
The description of certain phases of village life as depicted In ‘'11011^1116“ and the pic
tures drawn of the bleak and dreary life of “The Dark Corner” are as clever and sprightly
as anything that bus been done in Am-rlcan Hctlon this many a day. The humor of the
book is spontaneous, true to life an(i absolutely wholesome. The character of “Tilson" is
nothing snort of “great."—Charlotte Observer..
