You cannot afford to waste time in
experimenting when your lungs are in

Colds, but be sure you get the genuine.
Because he can make more profit he may
tell you he has something Just as good

SOUTHERN California politicians are
agitating a division of the state.

THERE seems to be spirit of con-
ciliation manifest in some parts Of
the south, Judging from the following
from the Birmingham, Ala, Age-Her-
aid: "If sectionalism can be elimin-
ated and the race issue removed from
policies, the south would naturally
divide. 1t would be much the best
for its local governments as well as
for its attitude toward the rest of the
Union that there should be division.
The southern people really desire
such a state of affairs, and if Harrison
will shape his administration by q
policy that will make such consum-
nation possible, he will undoubtedly
coin popularity in this section"
