LEVENS0N WOULD ASK
ALL MASoUERADERS TO
MARCH IN BIG PARADE

Make all masqueraders march with
tie parade of nations from it's starting
point"
This is the plan of J. D. Levenson
for boosting the big international
parade on Monday night and making
it one Of the chief features of the
entire Carnival.
AS the parade is the first number
on the Carnival program, and also as
it is under the auspices of the AID
Club, Mr.. Levenson feels that no eff
fort should be spared in making it a
grand success.
q believe" he says that with a
rousing success of the parade, the
whole Carnival will go with added i'm
petus of enthusiasm. If we make it a
rule that every person or couple par
ticipating in the masquerade must be-
gin at the starting point of the parade
and march with the crowd to the Pal
ace grounds, the result will be a
parade many blocks in length"
Levenson suggests that the Carnival
committee ought to give prizes Of
500, $50 and $25 to the masqueraders
as an added inducement to march in
the parade.

YOUR BRONCHIAL TUBES

When cold settles In the bronchial
tubes, with that weakening, tickling
cough, immediate treatment is very
important. The breath seems shorter
because of mucous distractions; usu-
allyfeveris 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. tits free from alcohol or drugs.
