"I have used Chamberlain's Cough vemedy a number of times during the past two or three years for colds and coughs and hoarseness, and am pleas d to say it has always given me prompt neUef. I consider Chamber tin's Cough Remedy a splendid med icine and have recommended 4t to many of my friends, who have used it and likewise praise it highly," writes Mrs. W. F. Frantz, Colden, N.

ON THE GREAT LAKES iiidtlen awav la a certain little har bor of the Great Lakes is a gunboat. Its coat is battle gray; its guns peer menacingly from sponsor and barbette. It Is not given to reveal the exact location of the ship. Anyhow, its captain is the distinc tive feature of the craft, for Command er W. N. McMunn, N. N. V., is the man who has "kept the ore traffic moving." And keeping the ore traffic moving with the nutlon at war bus been no fanciful Job. Most of the iron and much of the copper used in the manu facture of armament in this country is produced in the lake region and freighted in the open navigation sea son in lake vessets to eteel mills. Traffic in metals this season has been more than double that of any previous year, and . exact figures not yet hav ing been complied. Many Plots Frustrated. Much has been said about the pro tection afforded steel mills and muni tions factories, but little has been printed concerning the equally efficient protection afforded the ore before it reaches these industrial plants. This Is the task to which the navy depart ment at the opening of navigation on the lakes last spring assigned Com mander McMunn. It gave him more than three-score vessels ranging In size from an open-speed' launch to 1,200-ton gunboats. Constant vigilance on the part of Commander McMunn and each of his officers and men has been the price paid tit l;ocp the barn door locked before to:i;.-b( dy stole the horse. " Commander McMunu will talk little of his experience. Announcements from Washington, however, from time to time have hinted of German plots, anti-American propaganda, I, W. W. agitation, all suppressed by this quietly, effective arm of the navy. There are stories of wheelsmen on Great Lakes freighters who have been taken into custody by naval officers and who have been identified as offi cers of the German navy. There are two large lake freighters, sunk in a most peculiar manner so as almost to close to navigation one of the most im portant lake ports. There Is a report that certain Interests in Duluth sent word to Commander McMunn that if he ever set foot in that city he would ho hnt and killed, and there is the ' verified statement that Commander McMunn replied by going to uumm uu walking unarmed and unattended up and down the thocamsWaea of lhat city. But no attempt tfas mad'"to' Co htm violence. Good Fellow and Good Sailor, Of him one of his fellow officers re cently said : "Just shaking hands now with Commander McMunn gives you the idea that he is a Jolly good fel low." , ne is, but other naval officer tell you that he is also a Jolly good sailor, a Jolly good fighter, and a Jolly good business man, and they will tell you also "about his foresight, hind sight, energy, and good old-fashioned all-wool-and-a-yard-wide backbone. Just a word of history about Com MrMunn who. In addition to his other duties, is assistant command ant of the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh naval districts with headquarters at the Naval Training station at Great Lakes which has the task of turning thousands of fresh wa.ter plowboys into salt-water sailors. An engineer known nation wide, an expert in steel, he enlisted in the Illinois Naval militia as an ordinary seaman in 1804. Serv ing through the several grades he emerged after the Spanish-American war as an ensign, and since has served in each grade until he reached the commander's rank. He holds an unlim ited master's license and also a chief engineer's license of unlimited tonnage, and perhaps is more familiar with the Great Lakes than any other skipper operating on them.

The Subscription of Liberty Bonds, the uir sual liberality of the peo ple In supplying funds for various purposes, shows there will be an unprecedented demand for Christmas Gifts Goods of certain kinds were hard to procure, but I have managed to stock up for .this anticipated de mand. Watch Bracelets for Ladies and Men, Lavaliers, Sterling Card Cases, Brooches, Etc. are especially in demand and I would advise an early selection, as last year hundreds of customers were disappointed because they waited until the last day.
