DENY DOUGH
INSPIRED ruth

But She's Entitled to Cash
In If She Can, Says
Her Backer.

BB Times SDeciGI
WHEELING, w. Va, Oct. Cot
was a $3.50 arrangement, this latest
flight to Paris.
Ruth Elder risked her life. The
Wheeling Aero Exhibitors, Inc,
risked their cash.
And the whole thing has been ter
ribly misunderstood, according to
the local hackers. In fact, when
Thomas Henry McArdle, fight and
financial manager, spoke in New
York of the dough" that should be
forthcoming, Thomas Henry Nc
Ardle spoke out of turn.
1.-THE expense of the Ruth Elder
flight was borne by the Wheeling
Aero Exhibitors, Inc. with no
thought Of profit" j. D. Merriman,
bond and stock man. announces
here.
Entitled to Profit
Merrirnan was somewhat hazy
about the corporations charter
when first asked concerning 1t, but
he asserted later, "If Miss Elder can
cash in with any legitimate propo-
sition that is up to her. If it is
fair and square, she will have our
cooperation. She has risked her
life and is entitled to the profit. We
expect her to return to Wheeling,
where a fitting celebration can be
accorded her"
Merriman said also, 1--WE die this
to put Wheeling on the map"
Thus far Wheeling has shown
some lack of interest in what Merri
man and his associates have done
for the town. H. P. Corcoran, man
ager of the local Chamber of Com
merce, says, for example, 81 don't
know a thing about Ruth Elder, or
the flight, or who her hackers are
or anything else about the matter"

BEWARE The
COUGH OR COLD
THAT HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them
now with Circumcision, an emulsified
creosote that is pleasant to take. Greco
mulsion is a new medical discovery
with two-fold action; 1t soothes and
heals the infamed 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
directions. Ask your druggist.-Adver-
tisement.
