Beware the Cough or
Cold that Hangs On

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsi6ed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is
new medical discovery with two-fold ac-
ton; it soothes and heals the inhamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog-
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per-
sistent coughs and cold1 and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and in.
fammation, while the creosote goes on to
the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory

Washington there is a gloom BETTING
the loss of major engagement.
But the casualties are ahead of
them, instead of behind.
For specific instructions have been
issued by the War department on the
orders of Gen. Douglas Macarthur,
chief of staff, ousting valiant lieuten-
ants and doughty colonies from a
scene where uniform is passport
to society, and sending them back to
supervise squads east" and squads
west" on dusty drill fields.
The order is in keeping with the pro-
gram laid down two years ago by the
then Inspector Gen. Hugh A. Drum,
who conceived the idea of having Off
GERS actually serve with troops.
Not Effective Until Next Year.
The order is not as harsh as It
might have been, however, for it pro-
vides that the reduction is to be &C
complished in the process Of normal
relief and need not be completed until
