said. Good supplies of all kinds Of
mineral fuel are on hand, and more

as for the last six weeks, several
dealers declared, and there was no
indication of an immediate boost in
prices. The cold wave, however,
caught many families off guard and
independent drivers were busy all

small patches Of emergency fuel.
Heat distributing companies re
ceived only few complaints today,
due in the main to insufficient radia-

inability to warm rooms where the

fuel Is considerably heavier during
zero weather, the coal supply is suf-
ficient for almost any emergency.

COUGH IS YOUR
DANGER SIGNAL

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them
how with Creomulsion, an emulsified
reosote that is pleasant to take. Creo-
nulsion is a new medical discovery
with two-fold action; it soothes and
heals the ln1aned membranes and in
hibits germ growth.
OF all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by high medical authorities as
one Of the greatest healing agencies for
persistent coughs and colds and other
forms Of throat troubles. Creomulsion
contains, in addition to creosote, other
healing elements which soothe and heal
the infected membranes and stop the
Irritation and Inflammation, while the
creosote goes on to the stomach is alb
sorbed into the blood, attacks the seat
of the trouble and checks the growth
OF the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac-
tory in the treatment of persistent
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
bronchitis and other forms Of respira-
tory diseases, and is excellent for build
ing up the system after colds or flu.
Money refunded if any cough or cold is
not relieved after taking according to
