MOST CERTAIN WAY TO
END A BAD COLD.
Surely Breaks the Most Severe Cold
and Ends Grippe Misery in
Just Few Hours.

1t is a positive fact that a dose of
Pape's Cold Compound taken every
two hours until three, consecutive
doses are taken will cure Grippe or
break up the most severe cold, either
in the head. chest. back, stomach or
limbs
You distinctly feel the cold break
ing and all the disagreeable grippe
symp toms leaving after the very first
dose. 1t promptly ends the most mis-
cradle headache, dullness. head and
nose stuffed up, feverishness. sneez-
ing, sore throat, running of the nose,
mucous catarrh discharges, sore
ness, stiffness and rheumatic twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound is the result
OF three years research at q cost OF
more than fifty thousand dollars and
contains no quinine. which we have
conclusiveiy demonstrated is not ef-
fective in the treatment OF colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed. with the knowledge that
there Is no other medicine made any
where else In the world. which will
cure your cold or end Grippe misery
as promptly and without any other as
sistance or bad after effects as 70

PLASTERED AND BANDAGED
BlkERs RIDE ON
All but One Team Ahead of the Old
Record

New York, Dec. A-Up to late
hour tonight none of the riders in the
six-day bicycle race at Madison Square
garden showed signs of weakening
and while every member OF the thlr-
teen teams was literally decorated
with plaster and bandageS, the result
of mending the injuries from spills,
every one of them said he felt strong
enough to so on until the finish on
Saturday night, nearly 48 hours away.
The riders got ahead of the record by
over three miles at eight o'clock. but
three bad jams and tumbles in as
many sports during the next two hours
resulted in their falling behind the
old records again by haf-m1le mar
gin. There were no changes during
the days riding in the relative posi-
ton of the teams until after IL o'clock
when Lapize and Van Houwaerz lost
a lap in a ten-rninute sprint This
tied them for last place with Calvin
ard Wiley, these two teams being two
laps behind the eight leaders and one
lap behind the three second division
teams.
Midnight came with all the teams
still IN the race, but rs minutes after
that hour the Galvin-W Wiley team,
which had been trailing the greater
and was officially declared out OF the
contest.

had made their report there was a |
