it is difficult to understand why Mr..

to find fault with 1t.
The film may be said to be one
of the most sensitive and skillfully
devised stories that the cinema has
achieved. It is not only acted bril-
liantly. but it is knit together with
an indefinable pathDs which the
book. of course, had suggested even
more strongly before it. While you

as one who has never believed IN

so, we have to make apologies and
state once and for all that in "A
Farewell to Arms" Mr.. Cooper
emerges not only as an actor, but as
a good one. The director has made
him unbend-he has melted some OF
that stoneiness out of his face-he
has even made him cry in the last
chapter. Mr.. Cooper deserves all the
praise that it is hoped will be COM

"Moist Throat"
Found Secret
OfCough Relief

Your throat and bronchial tubes
are lined with millions of pores like
tiny bottles continually supplying
moisture to the delicate tissues
until you "catch cold"
Then these bottles get plugged
up, phlegm accumulates. affording
dangerous germs a breeding place.
Your throat feels hot and dry. Tick
ling, irritation and coughing set in.
Your cough will be cured only
when the flow of the natural fluid is
increased, loosening the phlegm so
that it can be expelled. Many cough
remedies" contain numbing drugs
which merely deaden the nerves ;. {.
but don't get at the root OF the
trouble.
| PERTUssIN, q scientific remedy,
which doctors have prescribed for
many years, is the extract Of a ia
nous herb which opens the tiny
| glands, stimulates the flow Of the
| throat's natural moisture and brings
quick relief. It helps nature heal
| that cough from the inside out.
| When you feel that awrning dry

According to figures compiled by the Ketehikan Chronicle, the aV- craze individual pays taxes 25 times per day to help Uncle Sam raise the $1,11S,500, ,00O additional revenue for the balancing of the Federal budget. From the morning bath with it's per cent tax on toilet soap to the last electric rays taxed at per cent which light him to bed, the average man pays and pays.
 These taxes have been in effect for several weeks. says the Chron- icle, but it is probable even now that many persons do not realize the multitude of ways in which they claim toll from American pocketbooks every day., and as cribes as the reason for this that many of the new levies are origi- nally paid by the manufacturers and concealed in the increased sale price.

NEW BOATS FOR
COAST GUARDS
Three Arrive at Lewes and

days; New Officers
MEETING AT IVES

A meeting Of station and boat
officers of the Sixth District Coast
Guard was held in Lewes on
Thursday afternoon, which thirty
one coastguardsmen attended. The
meeting was for the reception of
four new officers to the service

now being tested and equipped for

Breakwaters during the coming
holidays. An attempt to pull from
Lewes beach at high tide early
Friday morning the wrecked Coast
Guard cutter from the Cape May
base, which was damaged in a col
lision with another Coast Guard
boat Thursday morning, failed on
account of the damaged bow being
not sufficiently plugged to keep the
craft from sinking. It was discov-
cred that the damage needed
further stoppage to prevent the
cutter filling with water and this
work was rushed through Satur-
day when the Perseus, 165 foot
cutter from the Stapleton, N. Y.
base dragged off the boat. During
the thirty-six hours since it was
beached, the damaged vessel ha:
become somewhat imbedded in thu
sand. and other boats from th'
Lewes base are being used for tht
rescue work. The 107 was wreck
