We call Our readers attention to

when election day comes around,
go to the poles and cast your vote.

Medicine Proved Worth
During Epidemic.
"Sedituss Cough BaIsam" Most
Effective in Combating Flu.


The medicine which proved most
effective in the recent "fu" epidemic
is a product of Atlantic City and is
known as "Sedituss Cough Balsam."
1t was used extensively, with wonder
full results. 1t is pleasant to take, and
is very good for children. 1t is valua-
BILE as a sedative in affections of the
throat, relieving obstinate coughs by
promoting expectoration, and serving
as a calmative in bronchial irritation.
For coughs, colds, bronchitis, in1uen-
"a, loss of voice, hoarseness and huski-
ness, it has absolutely no superior.
The genuine "Sedituss Cough Balsam"
may be secured in three-ounce bottles
for 35 cents at the Arctic Drug Shop,
1929 Arctic Avenue, Atlantic City. Be
sure to get the genuine; accept no
substitute, adv.

For 2oc You Can
Check That Cold
Yes-lt Is Possible to End a Cold For
Just That Amount.

Here's how it is done. Go to your
druggist and tell him that you want a
small jar of WINTERGROLE. Now
there are plenty of other ointments on
the market and some are not without
merit, but make that drug shop man
produce WINTERGROLE - nothing
else. Take it home and rub some
across the forehead and bridge of the
nose. Put some up your nostrils and
take a little of it internally. If your
cold is in the chest apply the ointment
on chest and throat.
The drugs in WINTERGROLE
quickly penetrate and relieve the con
gestion. Your cold will soon leave
you. The effect is immediate.

EXPLAINS
ORGANIZATION OF
NEAR EAST RELIEF
Prominent New York Banker
Says Aim Is 1000 Relief
of Starving Peoples.

"Just what is the Near East Relief?
is the question that many people are
asking whose interests have been
awakened to the terrible conditions
existing in the Leyant today says
Alexander J.. Hemphill. President of
the Guarantee Trust Company and
well known New York banker and
financier. "In prosaic facts, the Near
East Relief Is a body Incorporated by
act of Congress the object of which is
to provide relief and to assist in the
repatriation, rehabilitation and re-es-
adjustment of suffering and dependent
people of the Near East and adjacent
areas to provide for the care of or
phans and widows and to promote the
social, economic and Industrial well

directly, by the vicissitudes of war,

100 Per Cent Relief.
1.-THE aim of the organization is 100
per cent relief, the relief which puts
those aided on a self-supporting basis,
which instills in them a confidence for
the future, places in their hands the
means with which to begin life anew,
and in their hearts the courage to go
on. Work, that is the prescription
subscribed and provided by those loyal
men and women who have %journeyed
into perilous places for the sake of
their fellow men to make these peo-
pie independent for the future, to en-
courage the Pickering fire of national
pride.
"There are 82,291 workers employed
In the industrial establishments of the
Near East Relief, where wool is fur
nished for the women to spin and
weave, and all the girls who are strong
enough are washing wool, sewing beds,
grinding and sitting wheat, tailoring
and learning to make lace. The big
problem is to make these women inde-
pendent.
about 500 American men and wo-
men, Near East Relief workers, are
now in the field, including SO eminent
physicians and surgeons, 76 nurses, Z
mechanics, Is industrial experts, 10
agriculturists, IA psychologists, 1877
relief workers, 25 supply and trans
port workers, 10 teachers, 20 admins
traitors, "a secretaries. 7 engineers and
As army officers.
Where Money Goes.
Funds for relief purposes are dis
tributed in two ways: First, the vari-
Gus velief centers are authorized by
the Executive Committee to draw sight
drafts on New York for specific
amounts each month second, by sup
plies purchased in America, the major
portion of which are shipped to the
committee warehouses at Derindje,
and the remainder either to Beyrouth
or Batoum.
1.-THE relief Is rapidly expanding and
meeting the situation, but the future
depends on the continuation of Ameri-
can support"
According to Mr.. Hemphill, the need
for American help to see the destitute
peoples of the Near East through the
crisis of present conditions is greater
now than ever before on account of the
uncertainty as to the future, the trucu-
lence of the. Turkish government and
the danger of bolshevism from Russia,
which threatens to engulf the whole of
Armenia.
Who Direct the Work.
Mr.. Hemphill is the Chairman Of the
Executive Committee of the Near Easi
Relief. Other members are DR.. James
L. Barton, Secretary of the Foreign
Department of the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Mis-
sions; Edwin NJ. Bulkley, banker, of
