BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af-
fected with that weakening, tickling
cough, they need immediate and SEN
sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because of mucous obstruc-
tons; usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the infamma-
ton often spreads to the lungs.
The food-tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years-is SCOTS Emul-
sion. 1t drives out the cold, which
is the root of the trouble, and checks
the cough by aiding the healing
process of the enfeebled membranes.
If you are troubled with bronchitis
OF know an afflicted friend, always re-
member that Scott's Emulsion builds
strength while relieving the trouble.

Detective Wardle went there yester-
day.
When he arrived at the house,
woman there denied that Lankford was
about, but when Detective Wardle
pushed his way past her into the house,
she called the name of Lankford.
This served as a warning as Landlord
was about to spring out the rear door
when Detective Wardle grabbed him.
Sergeant Wardle said last night that
Lankford admitted to him that he had
struck the fatal blow which killed
Bllips. He was willing to return to
this city without requisition papers,
but because of Pennsylvania law he
could not be taken without requisition
papers and these will be secured at
once.

LONDON, March -Constantinople

have sent word TO England that once the
allied fleet batters its way through the
Dardanelles they will flee 70 Asia to
save lslam's capital from destruction.
This sums up the statement made to
me today by high official of the Brit

least, he insisted that his name be not
used.
"Thc Old Turks Party is overwhelmed
strength" ne told me. "The battering
in of the outer forts of the Dardanelles
astounded the Turkish leaders. They
want to make show of resistance at
the remaining forts TO save their faces
before the Turkish people. But above all
things, they have sent word. they want
to preserve the Turkish mosques from
devastation by shells from the Chris
tians."
From other sources | learned to-
day that the government is confident
that once the allied fleet passes the
Dardanelles Narrows. the Islamic
Turks will fee from StambOul The
Ottoman capital will be surrendered
TO the Anglo-French fleet. According
to rumors prevalent here, the Rus
slams will he permitted TO take pos

declared neutral forever.
