Don't treata cough lightly.
Don't be foolish and say,
"n get over it."
No matter what causes it: ex-
posure, colds orirritation from dust
and smoking-a cough is a signal
that the throat tissues are inflamed
and may quickly become breeding
places for myriads of germs that
Turk in the mucus. If this infection
spreads, serious consequences will
result.
Get rid of that cough right now
before it Settles" in the danger
zone. Take PERTUSSIN at once.
Itloosens up congestion prompt
ly, and by stimulating expectora-

germ-laden phlegm that clogs the

PERTUSSIN is a simple herbal
reraedy-pleasant to take, free
from "dope", and has been pre-
seribed by physicians for 20 years.

Background
OF The Room
Start With the Walls When
Refurnishing The
Home
NEW SETTING
AIDS FURNISHINGS
BY q. FOX


As we study the interior of the
home and its furnishings, we come
to realize that most of our dissatis-
faction with the effect arises not so
much from the furniture we have as
from the background BY this
mean the walls, ceiling, floor and
woodwork. We may think we arr
tired of a room because of the fur.
nfture. where. as a matter of fact,
We are tired of the room because Of
the walls and woodwork.
When we talk about refurnishing
a room and repainting it. l am con-
WINGED that if we spend a modest
appropriation on the walls we so
improve the background that we
are well satisfied.
The moment the background is
satisfactory, the foundation of
happiness is established and the
relationship of furniture and that of
color will follow as a matter OF
course. If other changes r made,
they should be in hangings and
rugs, finally In furniture. That is.
never buy a dresser or a table, a
rug or a picture until the type
of background is first chosen.
Consideration of background
means fundamentally the consider
alton of color. In the Middle Ages
buildings in England were not left
in their natural gray or drab. Color
was used universally. Romanesque
and Gothic wooden ceilings were
treated partly with gilt and always
with color. The use of full color
is to be found among the early
Renaissance period, when the inn
portant rooms of the palaces and
great homes were lavishly decor
ated.
We tONas lcdAA1C Lire uCauts VI
color and are forsaking the dull
ness of the gray and the drab.
All one has to do to see evidence
Of this is TO drive out into any
modern suburb like West Atlantic
City and notice there the use OF
color in the decoration of roofs
and walls.
If full colors are increasingly
used it becomes very important to
know how to choose them in order
TO produce a desirable effect.
Individual choice lis not always
best Or wisest. Science should be
the guide.

nouneed at the Aero Club that {
1.000-foot runway had been com
pleted and another of the same
size is under construction. The field
here now can accommodate heavily
laden ships.
AS the first step in a campaign
to bring the national air glider
races to Atlantic City in 1928. the
Aero club has invited the school
children of the city to build air
gliders for local competition at the
Airport.
Mr.. Baldwin was appointed
chairman of the committee in
charge of the meet. He announces
that models and plans of miniature
airplanes will be exhibited in the
schools and throughout the city,
and that as soon rs a sufficient
number of entries are built and
entered, the date of the meet would
be announced.
MI. Baldwin said that if Atlantic
City should succeed in getting the
national meet, the city would get
more publicity than it has received
through the holding of the national
marble tournament.
Harry Kretchmer, announces
that the club is making plans to
cooperate with the city and various
civic organizations in welcoming
Colonel Charles Lindbergh, who is
scheduled to visit this city Oct. 10.
He also announced that one of the
projects being considered by the
organization was the inviting of
recognized aviation experts of the
army and navy to lecture in the
resort.
