SURELY BREAKS UP THE
MOST STUBBORN COLD
Will overcome all distress from a
bad cold or the Grippe in
Just a few hours.

The most severe cold will be broken,
and all grippe misery ended after TAX
ing a dose of Pape's Cold Compound
every two hours until three consecutive
doses are taken.
You will distinctly feel all the dis
agreeable symptoms leaving after the
very first dose.
The most miserable neuralgia pains,
headache, dullness, head and nose
stuffed up, feverishness, sneezing, run
ming of the nose. sore throat, mucous
catarrhal discharges, soreness, stiffness,
rheumatism pains, and other distress
vanishes.
Pape's Cold Compound is the result of
three years research at a cost of more
than fifty thousand dollars, and contains
no quinine. which we have conclusively
demonstrated is not effective 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 assist
ance or bad after-effects as a 25-cent
package of Pape's Cold Compound,
which any druggist in the world can
supply.

.POU NEXT DISTRICT
COMMITTEE HEAD
Democrat From North Caro-
line to Replace S. w.
Smith in House.

Representative Edward w. Pou OF
North Carolina has been agreed upon as
the chairman of the District of Column
bia Committee in the mex. House. He
will succeed Representative Samuel w.
Smith of Michigan.
Before his appointment to the present
Ways and Means Committee of the
House. Mr.. Pou was member of the
District Committee, and was one Of the
most active students of District needs.
Tie chairmanship OF that committee in
the Democratic House will be given to
Mr.. Pou at mis- own request.
There is also a possibility that Mr..
Pou will be made a member of the Com
mittee on Rules, although his work as
the chairman of the District Committee
will engage most of his attention.
Mr.. Pou was displaced on the Ways
and Means Committee of the next House
by Representative Kitchin of North
CoroIina. When Mr.. Pou agreed not
TO insist upon a place upon the Demo-
cratic Ways and Means Committee, the
party leaders promised him practically
any committee place for which he might
ask. Mr.. Pou preferred the chairman
ship of the District Committee to any
other assignment, and the request, in
this case, is virtually an election.
The North Carolina delegation is also
solidIy behind Mr.. Pou for the place.
and It is not expected that there will be
any opposition when the Committee on
Committees comes to work out the per-
sonnel of the next District Committee.
Mr.. Pou is expected to prove an ag-
gressive and progressive committee
chairman. and it is expected that Dis
trict affairs will be we'll taken care OF
under mis- leadership. He Is an expert
enced legislator, having been a member
of the House since the Fifty-seventh
Congress. Back home Mr.. Pou is a
lawyer-and good one. He was elected
In Congress while serving third term
as solicitor of the Fourth judicial circuit
of the Tar Heel State.
