MARROW SHELVES
FOR LINEN CLOSET
Plan to Enable Housewife to Find
Any Article Without Dis
turbing Others.

/ The linen closet should have many
narrow shelves, set close together. so
that each article may be easily found
and removed without disturbing a
dozen others in the search.
Shallow drawers will hold the more
treasured pieces and give them better
protection than is needed for the
sheets and towels which are in every
day use.
This linen closet can be built into
convenient wall space and is cor
rectly located near or in the bath
room, where fresh towels and wash
cloths will always be near at hand.
In conjunction with the linen closet
is often found the linen chute, built

COLDS THAT DEVELOP I INTO
 PINE UMON|A

Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious lung trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new med teal discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and kills the germ.
 Of all known drugs, creosote is rec ognized by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treatment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat ana lung troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote. other healing clements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the ir- irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to consumption.
 Creomulsion Is guaranteed satis- factory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, bronchial asthma. catarrhal bronchitis and other forms of throat and lung diseases. and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold. no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist. Creomulsion Co. Atlanta, Ga.-Adv.

French Troops Maintain Order, Is Report

PARIS. Oct. 1.-The French troops which intervened in the disorders al Duesseldorf yesterday, were only carrying out general instructions to the force of occupation to maintain order in the occupied regions, It was said at the foreign office today.
 The French government, 1t was de- clared, is maintaining an attitude of complete detachment from the sepa- e ratist movement and intends to give if no encouragement whatever, but the troops will intervene whenever necessary, whether the separatists, the communists or any other poiiti- cal group may be involved, Ill order to prevent violence.
 The French military investigation in the Ruhr has established the fact that the German police used stool pigeons in the crowd at Duesseldorf to provoke disorder so as to give the security police a pretext to intervene at the separatist meeting. 1t is as- serted in a Havas dispatch from Dusseldorf.
 The evidence, adds the message, indicates that former Provincial Gov ernor Guretzner, who was expelled by the forces of occupation, gave the order from Elberfeld, outside the Ruhr area. to disperse the sepa- ratists by any means.
 A hostile crowd assembled outside the barracks during the French ex- animation of the security police.

sian Landtag for restoration of the monarchy in Prussia-"to halt eco homie disintegration and prevent a catastrophe famine"
 The petition signed by Von Bonin was printed under prominent head line in the Deutsche Kreuz Zeitung, a reactionary newspaper which still carries the iron cross and the words; With God for Kaiser and Father land" in it's title-line.
 O O o
 Demand A King.
 The petition as printed reads:
 "The republican form of govern ment of Prussia has existed for near iy five years and the fact that 1t has not bettered the conditions and interests of the Prussian state and the Prussian people has become generally accepted. The people of Prussia are weary of the rule of self-seeking parties and demand king who stands above all parties.
 H'The restoration of the monarchy has become necessity based both on political and economic grounds in order to keep the land and the people from going completely to ruin.
 "In political circles, 1t is pointed out, that only the monarchy can re- gain for us attention and position among the nations of the world. The best argument for the justice of such a declaration lies in the fact that all our enemy nations vigor- ously approve our republican form Of government. They know very well that this form of government is valuable to them, at the same time injuring the Prussian people, damning them to continuous im- potency.
 "The republican government has tn these five years shown beyond ques- tion it's inability to halt the fall of the mark and the directly connected increases in prices which have be- come unbearable.
 "The general impression exists that the government, the parliamen- tary parties, the labor unions and the organizations of government workers are holding a contest to de- termine which can drive the prices highest. All experiments to halt the catastrophe of the mark have proved fruitless and will remain fruitless In the future. Only the monarchy can cause the dollar to halt and prevent a catastrophe famine throughout the land"
