YOUR BRONCHIAL TUBES

When cold settles IN the broncnlai
tubes, with that weakening, tickling
cough, immediate treatment is very
important. The breath seems shorter
because of mucous distractions; usu-
ally feverisp present, your head jars with
every cough and your chest may ache.
This is no time for experimenting or
delay-you must get SCOTS Emulsion
at once to drive out the cold which
started the trouble, and it will check
the cough by aiding the healing pro-,
cess of the enfeebled membranes.
If you have any symptoms OF bron-
chitis, or even a stubborn cold, always
remember that SCOTS Emulsion has
been relieving this trouble for forty
years. It's free from alcohol or drugs.
Refuse substitutes.

Among the resolutions certain to

was expected to report soon the de-

vindication and satisfaction from
President White and others over
their attitude concerning "scurrll-

One of the delegates left today for

The possibilities of embassy cour-
