Stockman tied to the steering wheel of
his truck, jumped in their automobile and
sped rapidly away in the direction of
Frederick.
The thieves came upon Mr.. Stockman
suddenly and demanded all the money he
had. The two who held him up with re-
volvers wore SLOUGH hats and as far as
Mr.. Stockman could discern in the dark
ness We're young men with smooth faces.
The third man with the flashlight imme-
diately followed the two with revolvers,
and with Stockman still covered with
the guns, tied both hands behind him and
then tied him to the steering wheel. In
this helpless position the robbers went
through his pockets. A few minutes
later William Kimmel of Park Mills came

Why Colds Are Dangerous,

1t is the serious diseases that colds
lead to that makes them dangerous.
They prepare the system for the recep-
ton and development of the germs of in
fluenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis, dyp-
liberia, 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 quickly as possible.
Chamberlain Cough Remedy will help
you. 1t is widely known as cure for
bad colds. adv
