STOP CATARRH! OPEN
N0STRILS AND HEAD
Says Cream Applied in Nostrils
Relieves Head Colds at Once.

If your nostrils are clogged and your
head is stuffed and you can't breathe
freely because of cold or catarrh, just
get small bottle of Ely's Cream Balm
at any drug store. Apply little of
this fragrant, antiseptic cream into
your nostrils and let it penetrate
through every air passage of your head,
soothing and healing the infamed, swol-
len mucous membrane and you get in
slant relief.
All! how good it feels. Your nos
trils are open, your head is clear, no
more hawking, snufiing, blowing; no
more headache, dryness or struggling
for breath Ely's Cream Balm is just
what sufferers from head colds and ca
tarrh need. It's a delight.

GAVE POOR SATISFACTION

The Sells-F'loto circus which was
advertised to give great parade here
in the forenoon and two performances
at the fair grounds on Saturday, was
a series of disappointment. People
came in from the country early in the
morning. 1t was SO in the shade.
They found the coolest seats they
could get on the county square and re-
manned there nearly all day. At noon
a man with a megaphone went up and
down the streets shouting, "The great
parade will take place at one O'Clock"
The circus made long jump and their
special was sidetracked so often and
delayed so long that it was four
o'clock before all sections were in.
The parade took place at o'clock,
and it was after when the first per-
Torrance commenced. The animal
cages were drawn up near the main
tent where all could go and look at
them. Only the main tent was raised.
1t cost $1.00 a ticket for admission
and a reserved seat and the perform
ance lasted only an hour. In the
evening the performance was cut the
same way and was very brief, and
those who spent their good money
to see a regular performance, were
somewhat sore, to say the least.
Had the circus arrived in Wausau
on time, gave it's parade at the usual
hour, the attendance would have been
large, as the day was clear and there
was a breeze which made the heat
much the easier to bear.
