And it is so thoroughly harmless and safe, that Dr Shoop tells mothers everywhere to give it without hesitation, even to very young babes. The wholesome green leaves and tender stems of a lunghealing mountainous shrub, furnish the curative properties to Dr Shoop's Cough Cure. It calms the cough, and heals the sore and sensitive bronchial membranes. No opium, no chloroform, nothing harsh used to injure or aurprese.Simply a resinous plant extract, that helps to heal aching lungs. The Spaniards oall this shrub which the Dr uses, 'The Sacred Herb." AJwavs demand Dr Shoop'8 Cough Cure. D C Scott REPROOFS IN BUSINESS. 8omething That Calls For the Exareisa of Much Tact. "If there's one thing,'' said the business man reflectively, "that calls for the exercise of infinite tact it is the giving of reproofs. There are of course some occasions when the manner of rebuking doesn't have to be taken into consideration?occasions when the reprimamd should o ' /Iantrm-a on/1 cliavT\ qc vrm n iv a? ucwir*!* v uuii ciiui |/ i?c ?vu *_***-? make it. But there are other times i ?plenty of them?when a*quick word is the worst possible medicine to administer. An employer or a superintendent owes it to his position. to ray nothing of what lie owes to the men under him, to take into consideration the kind of man to whom he i< talking. Personally I don't believe in coddling, but I know that gradations in reproofs give weight to those 1 want to make emphatic.

They are hard taskmasters; their method of riding is roughshod. They'd get more help on the way if they used different tactics. "It's the spirit of co-operation that I'm trying to hold up as an ideaL The moment the head of an establishment gets his associates to sense the fact that they are all pull ing together for a common end he has gone a long way toward assuring success.

Attention baa been called to the very remarkable effect of tha wind on various inland bodies of water. It is not unusual for the residents, in towns on the shores of lakes to' be greatly inconvenienced, provided a heavy wind'blowing on shore continues for any length of time. In the Baltic sea the level has been altered for upward of eight feet Sometimes the water is blown out of a channel, leaving it almost dry. In one instance a depression of six feet occurred on one side of a body of water, with a corresponding rise of six feet on the other. Lake Erie has been known to alter its level a distance of fifteen feet on account of heavy winds, and Lake Michigan was at one time the subject of considerable interest from the same cause. The wind was heavy and continuous and piled the water up on one side, while the other was 60 low that people walked out upon rocks where in the'memory of man no feet had ever trodden.
