LAGRAHGE AS COUNTY CHAPTER
GOOD MEETING OF RED CROSS
WORKERS HELD.
Three Drench Chapters and Other
Workers Represented.
Friday afternoon at the district
court room in LaGrange there was a
very interesting meeting held in which
a goodly number of visiting delegates
and local Red Cross workers took act-
ive part and interest. The meeting
had been called at the instignation
of Field Agent Wm. M. Baxter of the
American Red Cross, who, in accord-
ance with the duties assigned to him,
was anxious to have established a
definite hcaduarters for Fayette coun-
ty of the Red Cross work.
At this meeting Fayetteville had
three delegates in the persons of
Messrs. Kubena, Cmajdalka and Za-
nalac; Winchester one, Emil Zilss;
Flatonia and Schulenburg auxiliaries
were not represented, but telephonic
communication becoming established
between LaGrange and these two
auxiliaries, it was ascertained that
they were willing to come in and
favored LaGrange as the county
headuarters.
Carmine was represented, so was
Ledbetter, Rutersville, West Point,
Ammannsville and Bluff. Ammanns-
ville being affiliated with LaGrange,
was no longer a branch, the other
places mentioned having less than 100
members were also not designated as
branch chapters. In consequence *!t
left the matter of selection of head-
quarters to the three auxiliary repre-
sentatives, LaGrange, Fayetteville
and Winchester.
As the committe to agree upon the
county headquarters, Messrs. J. H.
Xillough and C. G. Robson represent-
ed LaGrange, J. R. Kubena and Chas.
Cmajdalka represented Fayetteville,
and Emil Zilss represented Winches-
ter. This committe repaired to an
adjoining room and discussed the mat-
ter, and returned in a short while
with the announcement that they were
ready to report. The report was made
by J. R. Kubena, who announced the
officers as follows: C. G. Robson,
county chairman; Miss Essie Alex-
ander, vice-chairman; Mrs. L. V.

is senior partner of the firm of F. J.

foresaid, and that said firm will pay

tarrh that cannot be cured by the use
of HAI.I/S CATARRH CURE.

While the committe was deliberat-
ing in their committee room, Mr. Bax-
ter delivered one of the most clear,
well-defined addresses in the work of
the Red Cross, dealing with the found-
ation of the organization abroad, its
birth in our country and the progress
it hus made up to now. In another
column we publish an extract of his
speech Which we want you to read,
and we know that you will enjoy it as
much as we did. It was very good,
no man, whether indifferent or other-
wise, could fail to know that his duty
to the Red Cross was imperative; he
could not refuse to help this work.
After the audience was dismissed
the newly elected officers met with Mr.
Baxter and received complete instruc-
tions, and appointed L. V. Vanek as
chapter chairman for home service.
That Terrible Headache.
Do you have periodic attacks of
heudache accompanied by sickness of
the stomach or vomiting, a sallow skin
and dull eyes? If so, you can get
quick relief by taking Chamberlain's
Tablets as directed, for biliousness,
and you may be able to avoid these
attacks if you observe the directions
with each package.

Getting Rid of Colds.
The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of a cold is to take Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its
value is fully proven. No matter
what remedy 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 recovered. It is better
to stay in bed three days at the start
than three weeks later on.

Colds and Catarrh
The great weight of testimony that has accumu-
lated in the 44 years that PERUNA has been on the
market proves it, beyond question, to be the reliable family rem-
edy. ever ready to take, preventing the serious effects of colds,
roughs, grip and derangements of the digestive organs. This
proof is published from time to time and many families have
profited by it.
Mrs.George Porker,
419Water St.. Mcn-
astia. Wi$.t writes:
Wc have used Pe-
runa in our family
for a number of
years, aud have
found It a perfectly
reliable medicine.
It soon rids the sys-
tem of any traces
of a cold, and pre-
vents serious con-
sequences.
“I began using it
for catarrh, which
I suffered with a
• good many years,
but had not been very serious until recently.
Since I have taken Peruna the dropping in my
throat haa discontinued, and my head and nose
are not so stopped up in the morning. 1 am
pleased with tne results, and shall continue to
use it until I am entirely rid of cutarrh.
"1 heartily recommend it aa an honesijmediclne."
What It does for her it is ready to do for yuu.

Dreadful Cough Cured.
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 dreadfully
for days. I tried a number <*f cough
medicines but nothing did him any
good until I gave him Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, 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.”
