Every druggist in o. S. in
structed to refund price
while you wait at count
er if relief does not come
within two minutes.
Delightful taste, immediate
relief, quick warm-up.

The sensation Of the year in the
drug trade is Aspronal, the two.
minute cold and cough reliever, au-
t~horitatively guaranteed by the labora-
t%oriesi tested, approved and most
enthusiastically endorsed BY the high
est authorities, and proclaimed BY the
common people as ten times as quick
and effective as Whiskey, rock and
rye, or any other cold and cough
remedy they have ever tried.
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, so all
you have to do to get rid Of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half a dollar for a bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two t~easpoonfuls with four teaspoon
fuls of water in q glass. With your
watch in your hsnd, take the drink
at one swallow and call for your money
back in two minutes If you cannot
feel your cold fading away ike a dream
within the time limit. Don't be bash
ful, for all druggists invite you and
expect you to try it. Everybody's
doing it.
When your cold or cough is re-
lieved, take the remainder Of the bottle
home to your wife and babies, for
Aspironal is BY far the safest and most
effective. the easiest to take and the
most agreeable cold and cough remedy
for infants and children.-Adv.

TURNS DOWN JOB
G. P. Adams Refuses to Serve

Too Busy With Y. NJ. C. A. and
Private Business, Reason.

The resignation of C. P. Adams,
elected president of the Chamber of
Commerce at meeting of the board
of directors last Saturday afternoon
was today placed before the directors
and was accepted.
Adams is president of the Y. M. G.
A. He stated that the moral obliga-
tion of his duty as president of that
organization and private business took
up so much of his time that he would
be unable to give the Chamber of
Commerce the time required. Adams
declared that under the administra-
tion of c. B. Merriam and his staff
cient organization had been built up.
to attempt to keep the organization
der Merriam.
His election at the meeting Saturday
was a total surprise, Adams asserted.
The speed with which the election
was pushed thru and the fact that it
was late in the afternoon with bust
ness transactions calling the directors
from the session, prevented him at
that time from making clear his posi-
tion in regard to the office, he said.
Consideration of another man to fill
the vacancy was postponed until
next Wednesday noon. This was de-
cided when it was found that all
members of the board had not been
informed of the unexpected emer-
gency, and all were not present.
w. W. Webb attempted to resign
from the board of directors. His
resignation was not accepted.

wanted by authorities in Minneapolis,
to get himself established in a posi-
ton where he might keep in touch
with attempts being made to appre-
hend him. This was the information
given out by the police today.
Mellor was arrested Saturday night
by the police at lis West Fifth street,
together with Miss Myrtle Mortimer,

Both are from Larimore. n. D. They
were waiting, they said, until Mellor
could get a divorce from his wife, now

Miss Mortimer's parents are in To-

were living in Larimore, S. D. He
then entered the army and was as
signed to the Thirteenth division.
While he was in the service, he says,
his wife went to New York. He met
Miss Mortimer at a social function in
January, 1919. In October he came
to Topeka, and plans were made for
the girl to follow him. She arrived
about December 1.
Both worked for a time at the Har-
vey House, after which Mellor did
some carpenter work and later got a
job at the National hotel
Both talked freely this morning. ex-
pressing their determination to get
married and return to Topeka as soon
as their cases are settled in Mime

go west instead.
DO you want to go back home? ?"
Miss Mortimer was asked.
Doesn't Want to Return.
Indeed 1 DON'T she replied. "Of
