GETTING RID OF COLDS.

The easiest and quickest way to
get rid of cold is to take Cham.
berlain's Cough Remedy. This
preparation has been in use for
many years and it's value fully
proven. No matter what remedy
you use, however, care must be
taken not to contract a second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one, and there is serious danger
of this. A man of middle age or
older should go to bed and stay in
bed until fully recovered. 1t is
better to stay in bed three days at
the start than three weeks later on.

Wounds and French Army
Discharge Prove Loyalty of
Mohammed Abdullah

Mohammcd Abdullah for a time today
felt worse than his name. His pa
trlotism sagged in the middle In view
of his experience, he could not be blamed
if he became temporarily luke warm in
this respect. Although he had an hon
orable discharge from the French Gov
crnment and souvenirs in the shape Of
six bullet wounds to show his sympathy
with the Allies, Abdullah was arrested
for strollng along the riverfront.
He looked every inch n warrior. a
rcd fez topped his straight black hair
and a pointed beard and right-angled
mustache gave an added touch TO MS
fierce looking countenance. But 1t was
his conner colored skin that attracted a
conner at Pine street wharf more than
ANYTHING else, He saw Abdullah roam
ing along the wharf and brought him to
the Third and De Lancey streets station,
Although he could not speak English
Abdullah concluded that the war had
something TO do with his arrest. He was
not aware of the fact that he had in
vaded the zone in which trespassing
was forbidden by the Government.
The house sergeant at the station
house soon discovered the Turks dis
charge, which showed that he did not
share his country's views In the present
conflict Abdullah then showed the
wounds caused by the Hun bullets.
They were the best argument he could
make and brought about his discharge
