BURIED TREASURE
 NOW BEING SOUGHT
Famous Story of China Is
 Taken Up

Picking, May 6 (UP) - A true Tom Sawyer buried treasure hunt is in progress within the secret walls of the Purple Forbidden City of Picking a hunt for 50 golden bars which cost the lives of two lovely concubines of the Emperor lNwang Hsu.
 An aged Chinese woman who, 30 years ago. was attendant to the two concubines. is teller of the tale which led to this search.
 According to her story as told to officials of the Palace museum, the late Empress Dowager. who is famed as China's last strong ruler. and who ruled the weakling Kwang lIsu with the proverbiaf rod of iron. resorted to sale of office to gratify her desire for funds with which to carry out such projects as the building of the new summer palace west of Picking. This de- moralized the whole imperial household, and two concubines ac- 'cepted a bribe of 50 golden bars from an official of Fukien province.
 Learning of this, the empress summoned the concubines and de- handed the golden bars. Upon be- ing refused, a refusal made worse by the concubines' counter-cha that she herself had set them a bad example. the empress ordered them into close confinement and subsequently, caused them to com- init suicide just before the flight Of the court when the foreign Box er relief force arrived in 1900.
 The woman who tells the story was then a girl of 19. and she, as attendant to the two captives, helped them conceal the booty. Sev- aral buildings have been construct ed on the site and initial search has been unavailing, but, with the promise of three gold bars as re- ward if the treasure is found. the woman is helping in a vigorous iunt.

THE
COUCH OR COLD
THAT HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop'them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsihed creo-
sote that is pleasant to take. Creomul-
sion is a new medical discovery with
two-fold action; it soothes and heals
the inhamed membranes and inhibits
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
sorbcd 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. (adv.)
