Samuel E. Hudson, Well
Known Political Writer,
Dies After a Long Career

Philadelphia, Nov. S.-Samuel F.,
Hudson, well known throughout
Pennsylvania as writer on political
topics, died last night. He was 81
years old. Mr.. Hudson began his
newspaper career on the Trenton,
n. ]. True American in 1871. He
at one time was editor and pro-
prietor of the Scranton Times and
was connected at various times with
leading newspapers in Philadelphia
He was also q correspondent at
Washington and Harrisburg.
Sam" Hudson was in class of
his own. He was a national news
gatherer. His nose for news was a
matter of frequent comment among
the newspaper workers. His style was
also unique and he was always capa-
BILE of dressing the most routine
happening in the most attractive
garb. Having a large acquaintance
with public men he was an authority
on political developments and the
elements of political situation. No
body who heard his famous lecture
on Columbus" delivered before an
informal session of the House and
Senate few years ago will ever
forget it. 1t was rich in humor and
homely philosophy He was the au-
thor of several books and was a most
prolific writer. Everybody was his
friend and his death will be gen.
orally regretted.

made by Miss Pickford with the
Pickford Film Corporation by which
it is conceded Miss Pickford will re-
ceive $1,0S0,OO0 for two years. Mrs.

EVERYBODY
USING TONSILINE!

The Spanish influenza epidemic
has meant a wonderful increase in
the sale of Tonsiline-The National
Sore Throat Remedy.
The moment medical authorities
advised frequent use of an effective
gargle to sterilize the throat, which
these deadly germs must use as a
gateway and breeding ground in
entering the body, countless families
went to their medicine shelf or sent
to the nearest druggist for a bottle
of Tonsiline.
Also, the majority of those afflict-
ed with this dreaded malady found
themselves suffering from decidedly
sore throats and many of them have
renewed their faith in this time tried
remedy.
For more than a quarter of a CEN
tury Tonsiline has been relieving
most of the sore throats in the ter
ritory where it was sold. This rec
ord stamps it as being particularly
indicated right now as a preventive
and relief in doing it's share toward
ending the present situation. 1t is
as safe as Liberty Bond.
