COLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO
 PNEUMONIA

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 ical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the inflaned 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 and lung troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote. other healing clements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the ir- ritation while the creosote goes 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.

Anniston Federal Building Will Be Improved at Probable Cost of at Least
 $1O5,000
ANNIsToN BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD ! Aunistou. Ala, Jan. 4

Plans for a three-story addition with a skylight roof to be built on the east side of the Anniston post office building have already been ap- proved by the post office department according to an announcement made Thursday by Postmaster c. B. Wells when news was received in the city that the Secretary of the Treasury and the Postmaster General had recommended an additional appropri ation of $35,000 for the proposed work on the federal building in An niston.
 Addition to the south end of the federal building has been persistent ly advocated during the last few months by Postmaster Wells and other Anniston people, but the plan calling for the addition to the east side of the building was given pref erence by government inspectors, who made personal inspections here dur ing the last year. Postmaster Wells also announced Thursday that the sum of $20,000 had been available for the erection of a e-story annex for the enlargement of the working room of the Anniston office since last July and that the recommendation of the Secretary of Treasury and the Post master General would mean probably the expenditure of at least s105.000 on the federal building here during the present year.
 The working space on the ground floor of the federal building has been badly crowded recently and the ad dition of another annex has become a pressing necessity. The erection of the three-story annex on the east side will provide ample room for the business of the post office depart ment and will also give the third story users of the building the amount of room required for the pro- per conduct in the business of the government at this point.
