WHY CoIds Are Dangerous.

1t is the serious diseases that
lcolds lead to that makes them
dangerous. They prepare the sys-
tenn for the reception and devel-
lcpment of the germs of Influenza,
pneumonia, tuberculosis, dyptheria,
scarlet fever, whooping cough and
measles. You are much more likely
to contract these diseases when you
have a cold. For that reason you
should get rid of every cold as
Iquickly as possible. Chamberlain
Cough Remedy will help you. 1t is
widely known as cure for bad
colds.

BRIGHT OR DARK +?

Says Obie Bright, This world is
great would not care to change
my state-for here no ends of Joys
abound and happiness hangs all
around"
But Seymour Dark. will not admit
that this is any place to sit.
Says he. My life has been bore
and daily / dislike it more"
Now these two men are dwelling
here upon the very self-same
sphere, the one acclaims he likes
the place, the other wears a sour
face.
But one conclusion can be drawn
to base a safe opinion on-that
people here may find streak of
anything they choose to seek.

Coy Theater Granted Franchise I'm
Largest Screen Production Association
Under the terms of a contract
signed this week by Miss Ruth Wright
manager OF the Coy theater, Topeka
is placed on the map Of the Associated
First National Film Corporation of

peka will see all the super pictures"

the Cozy connects that theater with
an organization composed of the larg-
est screen exhibitors of the nation,
only one theater in each city being
eligible to franchise in the new asso-
citation. While the association is the
youngest corporation in the film bust
ness, it is already the largest and has
the heaviest financial backing.
The first Ct the special features to
be brought to the Coy under the new
franchise will be Charles Ray in

FLORENCE HAS OIL BOOM
Reorganized, Chamber of Commerce
Hires Newspaper Man as Secretary.

Florence, Kan. July 10.-A new no.
tel, adequate and continuous electric
service, a larger and better water sup
ply, extension of the sewerage system
and plating of new residential dis
tricts These are some of the ambi-
lions for the city of Florence which
the Chamber of Commerce hopes to
realize thru the establishment of per-
manent headquarters with a paid sec
rotary in charge.
Many other dreams came true this
spring when it developed that the city
was located in a new oil field. Old
buildings have been torn down or
moved away to accommodate a score
or more of handsome new brick struc-
lures, some of which are completed,
others are under construction and 9TH
ers barely started.
Not all of Florence's development
was caused by the oil boom, however
Before oil was found Raymond Gear
had broken ground for a new $4,000
theater now nearing completion A
bank, for which the foundation has
just been laid, had been planned be
fore the boom. The city had already
streets and this work had actually
started when the Discovery" well was
drilled into the oil sand.
HEADQUARTERS of the Chamber OF
| Commerce have been established at
1 the Oil Exchange building with Theo
| A. Thoma, former newspaper man OF
Wichita, in charge. One of the first
activities of the secretary will be &c
/ place signs at all cross roads for miles
! around giving the directions and dis
/ tances to Florence.
