Nothing SO Good for Cough or Cold
Everyone who has used Chamber

it." writes Edward P. Miller, Abbotts

preparation are seldom satisfied with
any other. It is excellent to allay a
cough or break up a cold.

FEDERAL OFFICERS STIRRED
UP HOT BED OF SMUGGLERS
(Associated Press1

Carrabelle, Feb. 10.-With the seiZ-
ure here recently of the yacht Cres-
cent City, federal officials believe they
have found a hot bed of the liquor
smuggling activities between British
island possessions and this country.
Herbert Stokes, alias Sand" alleged
to be the leader of Whisky running
gang, was arrested at Apalachicola,
and NJ. A. earn, alias "South," was
arrested at Miami
Federal officials have been active in
these parts for several weeks They
first noticed the activity of fishermen
when certain boats came into port.
According to the officials, the gang
headed by Stokes, operated an eff
cient line of trucks between this sec
ton and Atlanta, with the Crescent
City bringing the liquor into port.
The vessels cargo was quickly un-
loaded under the protection Of the
night, they charge, and the waiting
trucks scurried away to the Georgia
capital.
A further search among the wooded
recesses of Crooked River, the officials
assert, disclosed many treasure laden
boats, apparently having received
their cargo from larger boats at sea
and then hidden in the fastnesses of
the swamp lands.

SPANISH NIGHTS

Basing its main appeal on the typi-
cal Spanish romantic life, the 1922
production of the Masqueraders of
the University of Florida, will shortly
be presented throughout the entire
state of Florida. Spanish Nights"
musical play in three acts, has appro-
priately been chosen as the title of
this production, for it cannot be said
to deal with any one phase of the life
which it aims to portray.
The setting of the play is in BARGE
Iona, Spain. This city is situated in
the province of Catalonia 1t is here
that the plot of the play has been laid.
1t deals with the love affair of rich
Argentine cowboy, Don Julio, who
visits Spain with his deceased fathers
overseer, to dispose of cattle and land
holdings. He falls in love with Dona
Dolores, the beautiful young daugh-
ter of the keeper of ia Posada Vie
ja," an old inn which is headquarters
for "Los Bolos," notorious band of
thieves. The many phases of life and
adventures that take place in and
about the old inn have all been woven
into fascinating story. The setting
of ia Posada Vieja" has been closely
modelled on the actual appearance of
the old Spanish posadas which are to
be found throughout Spain and Latin
! America. The music of the play is all
of the Spanish tempo, and has been
taken mostly from the opera Carmen.
The costumes, which were all created
in the Masquerader's studios under
the direction of expert modists and
artists, and the lighting effects all
completely harmonic to produce an
effect which will appeal to the artistic
tastes OF even the most fastidious.
Spanish Nights" will play in the
Temple theater on Feb. IT, 1922. Seat
sale starts Feb. Is, at Ocala.
