SORE THROATS
AND COUGHS
Quickly Relieved BY This Safe
Prescription

Here's a doctors prescription that
is really throat insurance. Sore or
irritated throats are relieved and
soothed almost instantly with the
very first swallow. About 800 of all
coughs are caused by an irritated
throat; consequently for most
coughs too there is nothing better
than this famous prescription-it
goes direct to the internal cause. 1t
is put up under the name Thoxine
and is guaranteed to stop coughs and
relieve sore throats in IS minutes or
your money will be refunded. Sing
ers and speakers find Thoxine very
valuable.
The remarkable thing about
Thoxine is that while it relieves al
most instantly, it contains nothing
harmful, is pleasant tasting and safe
for the whole family. Ask for
Thoxine 35c, 60c, and $1.00 bottles.

ST. LOUIS, July 9.-The bright est apple, says the old saw, seems always at the top of the tree
 The management of the St. Louis and Washington ball clubs in the American league must think so, at any rate
 Because each club gave up it's most powerful slugger to secure an- other one.
 Goose Goslin, high flying bird of the Potomac, now roams the out field for the Browns. But Heinie Manush isn't here anymore. Nor is General" Alvin Crowder.. They were the decoys that fetched the Goose.
 Not that either by long odds comes under the heading of. dead wood. Manush last year hit 355, while Goslin's mark was 12 points under 300, the dead line for big league outfielders. Crowder won IT games and lost Is with a club that finished in fourth place.
 Both of the big left handed hit ters traded during a recent visit of the Washingtons here led the American league in batting in re- cent years. In 1926 Manush showed the way with a .375 percentage He was playing for Detroit at the time, and the next year he came here in exchange for Elam Van Glider, Chick Galloway and Harry Rice.
 Goslin's big year was in 1928, when his batting mark of .379 was the highest in the league. That year Manush finished just one point below.
 Both clubs had what appeared to be sound reasons for making the trade. Goslin this year and all o1 last season was unable to get going for Washington. The Browns were ineffective with the lineup as il stood before the change.

OUTFIELDER'S BAT SPEAKS
 TO SHAVE OFF PINK SLIP

MINNEAPOLIS, July 9-Add to those who come back-Nick Cullop, Minneapolis, American Association, outfielder.
 Early in the season, Cullop was slated to be shunted out of the league because he couldn't hit. Now he is at the top among the A sluggers.
 On the opening day, April IS, Nick was hit on the head by a pitched ball. On May g, he was hit ting only .128 By mid-June he had raised this to 335 and had bagged a dozen home runs.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-07-09

But unless the Goose gets to flap ping around here with his old wild abandon, it looks like the Senators got the best of it.
 Manush was outhitting Goslin, and Crowder has great potentiali- ties.
 He led the league in pitching eff fectiveness in 1928, winning 2l games and losing five. He had been sent to the Browns in 1927 by the Senators who got Tom Zachary in exchange.

WASHINGTON = Those gentle men in Washington, referred to collectively as the "newspape- boys" long will remember this first Congress under the Hoover admin istration which is fast drawing to 8 close.
 For it has set a record as far as demanding work of them is con- cerned.
 Lanky, genial Jim Preston, super intendent of the Senate Press Gal lery, who has been a press land mark on Capitol Hill for more than two score years, can't remember the time when there has been such activity as has marked the closing days of the Fist Congress.
 And since the activity of Wash ington correspondents may be talk en as a gauge of public interest in national affairs, the fact that they have had few, if any, idle moments of late is indicative of something.
 In fact, so impressed was the veteran Preston with the industry of the boys" around him that one day recently he sat down and counted noses on those at work. As superintendent of the gallery, it is up to him to try to maintain liaison with the groups of news papermen scattered at various points on the hill.

 And the Senate is the best actor. Even the White House has bee I forced to surrender some of its laurels in this field to the Senate.
