One Sure Way to
End Coughs and Colds

Persistent coughs and colds lead 10
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is
new medical discovery with two-fold ac.
ton; it soothes and heals the inflamed
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 colds 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
hammation, 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
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms Of respiratory diseases, and
is excellent for building UP the system
after colds or flu. Money refunded if any

Because of the storm Monday
night which caused many movie
fans to miss the show, the United
Artists theatre has held over Wal
lace Beery's latest picture Flesh"
for two performances tonight.
Originally the picture was booked
for Monday and Tuesday only.
Declared to be greater than
Min and Bill or The Champ,
pictures which won for Beery the
highest award for two successive
years from the Academy of Mo-
ton Picture Arts and Scientists,
''Flesh" is ideally suited to the
popular star who is seen as a
wrestler, in contrast with the pu-
gilist role he assumed in 1.-The
Champ.
The plot deals with the efforts
of a group of unscrupulous Amer
ican racketeers to capitalize on the
strength of German wrestler who
is a contender for the worlds
championship. They nearly ruin
his life to attain their own selfish
ends, but eventually happiness, so
richly merited by the good natured
and easy going wrestler, comes to
him
The Mystic Calvin who answers
any and all questions put to him,
will be on the stage in person to-
night. This artist has an act that
has baffled audiences in all parts
of the country and presents real
entertainment during his per-
formance.

OFFICIAL
TALKS To LIONS

Lions club members enjoyed an
interesting program presented yes
terday at their meeting in the Bar
bara Worth hotel with Captain
w. N. Cunningham and Mrs. Lamp
ing as speakers.
Captain Cunningham valley rep
resenta tive of the federal employ
ment service, department of labor,
spoke on the local unemployment
situation, stating that it was be-
ing handled in more able fashion
this year due to last years eXper-
fence. Number of transientS is
considerably reduced due to the
fact that establishment of a legal
residence is required before aid is
given.
He spoke on the problems con-
cerned with the class of hoboes in
the age group 1924, pointing out
that only one out of a 1000 really
wants work They should be en-
couraged to leave the community
and local residents are asked not
to give them aid but to refer them
to the Central Relief board.
Captain Cunningham further
stated that the public works pro-
gram is not an answer to the un-
employment situation since ma
chinery often does great part of
the work and since construction
companies frequently employ their
regular construction crews instead
of local labor.
Mrs. Lamping who is connected
with the American association for
the blind whose purpose is the
printing of books in Braille for
the use of the blind, spoke on the
Braille system. The people of
Imperial Valley, she stated, have,
through their contributions, made
possible the printing of THE Win
ming of Barbara Worth" in Braille
which has been placed in libraries
so that 100000 blind may enjoy
