BEWARE THE
COUGH OR COLD
THAT HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsi6cd croo-
sote that is pleasant to take. Creomul.
sion is new medical discovery with
two-fold action; it soothcs and heals
the inf1amed membranes and inhibits
germ growth.
OF all known drugs, crcosote 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 creosotc, other
healing elements which soothe and heal
the infected membranes and stop the
irritation and inflammation, while the
crcosote 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
directions. Ask your druggist. (sdv.)

Police Arrest
Two Girl Hikers

Mildred Mason and Tiola Moran,
both of Los Angeles, were picked up
by Deputy Sheriff McClelland near
Imperial late yesterday afternoon
and brought to the county Jail for
investigation. While the girls gave
their ages as 90 and 2l, respective
", it is believed that they are
younger and investigation will be
made to determine whether or not
they have run away from their
homes.
When apprehended the girls had
built a fire near the highway and
apparently had little to protect
them in the way of food and shell

CHRISTMAS SEAL
SALE SHOULD BE
GREAT SUCCESS

According to information from
the committee in charge of the sale
of Christmas seals in Imperial coun-
~, many persons to whom seals have
been sent, are returning them to
headquarters.
"We very much regret this a
member of the committee said today
.'and cannot quite understand 1t
True we doubtless have sent seals to
some persons who cannot afford to
spend a dollar for them, but in the
main there are very few persons i'll
Imperial Valley who cannot afford
a dollar for this worthy cause
The proceeds derived from the
sale of seals are used in anti-tuber-
culosis work. The anti-tuberculoss
seal is one of the few that have been
endorsed by the United States gov
crnment for use, on Christmas pack
ages, the government in this man
nrr recognizing the while
work which is being done through
their sale.
In Imperial county, the Anti-Tu-
bcrculosis committee operates with
tie least overhead of any organiza-
tion in the county. A group os
omen are devoting considerable of
their private time and energy t.
promote the sale of the seals and
they deserve the cooperation of the
public in making the sale success.
1t might fairly be stated that the
community which does not sell its
quota of Christmas seals is below
par in the scale of community
health. The Christmas seal sale is
the barometer that indicates the
cummunity's interest in promoting
good health, and Imperial Valley
cannot afford to be found wanting
in this respect.

 Among the pieces were a small silver figure Of Hercules attributed 10 Benvenuto Cellini, a Gobelin ta- pcstry in gold and silver thread, "Adoration Of the Magi," by Mabuse. and numerous Chinese antiques.
