This treatment is based on the fa mous prescription known as Dr. King’s New Discovery for Coughs. For aston ishing relief make this test tonight before retiring:—Simply take one tea spoonful and hold it in the throat for 15 cr 20 seconds be foie swallowing it. The prescription has a double action. It no: only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly loosens and removes the phlegm and conges tion which are the real catise of night coughing. So with the cause removed, coughing stops quickly and you sleep the whole night through. The Dr. King’s New Discovery pre scription is for coughs, chest colds, sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children as well as grown-ups —no harmful drugs.

I; * BURIATS MUST STOP STEALING OF WIVES Marriage Laws in Siberia Have Been Changed. Washington.—Marriage isn’t what it used to be in Siberia. One of the latest laws reported to the outside world provides three years’ imprison-; meat- for any Buriat who, following the customs of his fathers, steals the; woman of his choice. The matter is complicated by the reported prefer ence of the women to be stolen rathet* than to be asked for or bought “The Buriats are true children of nature when not influenced by outside cultures,” says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the Na- ! tional Geographical society. “When the Russians came upon them on the banks of Lake Baikal in the Sixteenth century many of them made their liv ing wholly by hunting and fishing, while the majority had only progressed one more step in their Journey from natural conditions, being nomad stock raisers. Nature Worshipers at Heart. “A little handful of Buriats, after contact with Russian colonists, have become agriculturists; and remark ably good agriculturists at that, even surpassing the average Russian farmer. But the great majority still make their living close to unmodified nature, as herders and hunters. “It is in their religious life that their love of nature makes itself most deeply felt. Many are frankly Sha rnanists —nature worshipers. Those nearest Mongolia profess Lamaism, But nature worship underlies the rites of all of them: the sky, the mountains, the rivers, the rain, the wind—air are peopled for them by gods. Even the nominally Christian Buriats nearest the shores of Lake Baikal insist that ‘ “the Holy sea” doesn’t like to be called “lake,”’ and that when so in sulted It will become stormy and tur bulent, perhaps destroying shipping. “The nomadic Buriats, near the Mongolian border, have niany traits in common with their kinsmen the Mon gols. They are like them in ance, live for the most part in “yurtas” or skin huts, raise cattle and sheep and are excellent horsemen. The typi cal well-to-do Buriat and his horse are inseparable companions during life: and an ancient custom demands that the horse be tied to his owner’s grave to starve and so accompany fiim in death. The heirs of the deceased usu ally manage to get around this custom, however, either by substituting a worn-out hack for the good saddle horse, or by tying the latter with a weak thong. When the horse escapes and trots hack to his fellows they say that it is ‘the will of heaven’ that he live. The Buriat horses are remark able for their endurance, often trot ting fifty and sixty miles without a pause, and showing no fatigue at the journey's end. “Bu-h-fc - re so wedded to the yurtas that many •'•ho have followed Russian -customs and built permanent huts, leave a smoke hole in the center of the roof (as in a yurta) and build their j fires in the center of the floor. They are fond of display, and the more pros perous have rugs on floor and wails, i and wear silken robes. They are as inveterate smokers as the Burmese, and as in Burma even smaTf children smoke. Tea drinking is also a com mon habit. The Buriat man of affairs wears a broad silk girdle, in which he thrusts his pipe and teacup, that these necessities may be ever at hand. Brides Have Fur Dowries. * “Only a small group of Buriats have practiced the theft of their wives. One common custom is for families that have both sons and daughters to ex- j change girls as wives for their respect five sons. If the make-up of the fami lies does not permit exchanges. a.wif" is in effect bought, usually by a gift of cattle. The bride’s dowry usually more than offsets the price, however. In some cases the dowries are furs worth many thousands of dollars. “The old Siberian province of Trans j Baikalia, east of the great lake, is the region in which most of the Buriats ’ive. This is considered the most beau tiful part of Siberia, a land of alter nating forests and steppes. The soil "s permanently frozen, although the rnmediate surface thaws out in sum aief. Agriculture is not possible over much of tlie Buriat country, but the shallow soil permits grazing activities. “In the forested regions the tree roots penetrate the soil only a few inches but grow far horizontally. .Many of these poorly anchored trees ire overturned by the wind; and a •haracteristic feature of the country s supplied by the great rough disks f roots of the fallen trees towering i -Imost as high as their upright fel ows.” White Collie Is Cal’s Closest Companion Washington.—One of President ’oolidge’s closest companions is a dog | —Rob Roy, the snow-white collie j which has supplanted the Harding I Laddie Boy as canine boss of thej > .Vhite House. i \ During the two years he has had I the run of the executive mansion Rob | Roy has worked himself into the af i sections of the president.

Washington.—Should a fire sweep through a children’s hospital in San tiago. Chile, and snuff out the lives of 789 little children, millions would feel keenest sympathy and presidents and kings would send messages of con dolence. Less spectacular, but far more cheering, is the actual news that* 789 lives of children under one year old have been saved in a six months’ period in that one city. And the United States had an im portant part in this magic boon of modern medicine. The circumstances emerge into the news because of the announcement of the new sanitary code regulations and the decision of the United States pub lic health service to permit Dr. .7. D. Long of its staff to remain in Santi ago as technical adviser to the Chilean ministry of hygiene. Repaying Medicinal Favors. “It seems only a bit of poetic jus tice that the United States should minister to the land whose deserts make the world’s gardens grow, bind the sores and wounds of mankind, and alleviate the pain of intense suffering In hospitals from New York to Singa pore—for those are the effects of the nitrates, the iodine and the cocaine that Chile exports,” says a bulletin of the National Geographic society. “Medicine has wrought powerful changes in the geography of the world,” the bulletin continues. “Qui nine, for example, has been man’s chief ally In conquering the tropics. And recent applications of medical science have been estimated to have saved more lives among the allied na tions since the World war than were lost In that titanic struggle. “Now Chile, by the creation of its national health service, with the as sistance of the expert f. o:n our coun try, has embarked upon p program which she believes, at a conservative estimate, will save her i;.;. iy 30,000 lives a year. “Such a program, through the length of her 2,700 miles, from the ni trate beds of Tarapaea to the forests of Tierra del Fuego, and her rich in tormediate belts of copper, iron, fruits and the only sizable coal deposits in South America, will have an impor tant bearing upon her future geogra phy and upon the world supply of the raw materials and resources she pos sesses. “An official resume of the work per formed by the national health service since its inception last year, just re ceived at the headquarters of the Na tional Geographic society, tells how a fly elimination campaign, through refuse removal, and certain other san itary provisions resulted in cutting down the infant mortality rate dur ing the last six months of 1925 by 45.4 per cent over the deaths of 1923; and showed a falling of 31.4 per cent in the number of deaths in 1925 over ♦hose of 1924. What Chile Has Done. “The elongated republic, with Its one-fourth area of islands, has been divided into ten sanitary zones, a corps of health officers has been cre ated. quarantine regulations have been put into effect, physicians li censed and compelled to report com municable diseases, sewage disposal plants installed in small communities, municipal sanitary codes drafted and physical examinations of school chil dren are being gradually provided. •‘lnfant mortality in Chile has been approximately one-third the total mor tality. Os those babies that die under ! one year of age about GO per cent die under one month old. Therefore, the report states, a great saving of life, perilaps from 80 to 90 per cent of these deaths, will be prevented by proper hospital maternity provision for mothers. “Four cities. Santiago, Los Leones. San Antonio and Talca, henceforth are to have their water supplies ster ilized with chlorine. Certain cities which have had inadequate water for domestic purposes, including Valpa raiso. are being surveyed for an aug mented supply. ”In the water shortage, many towns suffer from a condition which makes for Chile’s prosperity. Northern Chile is the one arid region of the world which doesn’t want more rain. If the climate changed and heavy rains fell periodically the water would grad ually dissolve the nitrate and wash away the country’s unique reservoir of wealth.” .j. ♦> .j. .y *> ♦> »> *> *> *> *> ❖♦>❖❖ ❖❖ ♦* I Clock Gives Up After * % Running 400 Years j % East Hendren, Berkshire r | f Eng.—Day in and day out for „♦ * more than 400 years the church j T clock of this village has told & % the correct time, but at last It | J has been stopped for repairs, * * much to the Inconvenience of | ! 1 villagers. * l|’X There Is an ancient clock at 4 X Windsor Castle which, accord- | i % ing to history, was given by < i ♦ Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn on * , <> the day they were married in «§-■ i \ 1533.
