One Sure Way TO
End Coughs and Colds

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 a
new medical discovery with two-fold &C
ton; it soothes and heals the inAamed
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
ofthroat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele-
mehts which soothe and cal the infected
membranes and stopthe irritation andin
hammation, while the creosote goes on to
the: stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
and attacks the seat of the trouble.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis, and
is excellent for building up the system
after colds or flu. Your own druggist is
authorized to refund your money on the
spot if your cough or cold is not re-
lieved by Creomulsion. (adv)

They could scarcely believe their ears when Tai
leyrand told them of NapoleOns decision. They
suspected trick. But when Talleyrand con-
WINGED them that the offer was sincere. they were
more than willing to begin to talk terms.
However. their negotiations dragged on for
some time. complicated by the fact that Monroe
was Ill and scarcely able to play his part in
them At last they began to reach basis for
agreement, and the two American ministers, I'M
able to communicate with their government be-
fore it should be too late took upon themselves
the great responsibility of accepting Marbois
terms.
On April 80, 1903. Marbois, Livingston and
Monroe signed the covenants by which the Unit
ed States bound itself to pay directly to France
the sum of $11.250.000 and to assume debts
owed by France to American citizens, estimated
at $3,750O0O making the total of $15OO00O0 It
Is said that after they had affixed their sigma
lures, Livingston remarked, 1--WE have lived long,
but this is the noblest work OF our lives From
this day the United States takes its rank among
the powers of the EARTH"
The curious thing is that they could not real
lie that they had bought something of "a pig in
a poke" In that the boundaries of the Louisiana
Territory were not clearly defined so they had
not the slightest notion of the vast extent of the
territory which they had acquired for their coun-
try. Neither could they realize that no other
American purchasers of territory would ever ac-
quire much for so little. for they got this vast
domain for less than SIS square mile. Within
a hundred years SIS would not buy a square
inch of some of that landi
In other respects it strange transaction.
Livingston and Monroe had far exceeded their
authority In buying Louisiana and, as a matter
of fact, Napoleon had no right to sell it without
the consent of Spain and his own assembly.
Spain Immediately made protest that the sale
was illegal-a protest which she did not care to
maintain too stoutly. considering the nature of
the First Consul. Many Frenchmen were also
bitter about the sale
Even In this country there was considerable
criticism OF course the westerners were de-
lighted But the Federalsts in the East, recall
ing how Jefferson had denounced Washington
and Adams for using powers not expressly dele
gated to the President In the Constitution. were
quick to denounce Jefferson for doing the same
thing. And the President, assuming response
bility for what his envoys had done and dubious
of the legality of the purchase made the historic
admission that he had stretched his powers
til they cracked"
But in October congress ratified the covenants
and the next month Laussat arrived in New Or
leans to assume authority over that city and
Louisiana Territory. preliminary to turning both
over to their new owners. The Spanish flag came
down and the French Tricolor took its place. TO
stay there for only 20 days, then to give way
forever to the Stars and Stripes.

Growth Acid Everywhere

A new acid has been discovered
one that stimulates growth-by Doc
tors Lyman and Williams of Oregon
university which they call pantho-
thenic from the Greek because it is
found everywhere. 1t ranks between
acetic and Tactic acids in strength but
it's potency is such that one part in
billion or say one drop in $50 gallons
of water is enough to act as stimu-
liant to the entire body. This acid is
soluble in water and while 1t seems
to be composed of long chains of car
bon, hydrogen and oxygen, not
trace of either sulphur or nitrogen
has been found. 1t affects all forms
of life from the highest developed
man to the lowest form of mold or
bacteria. Its discovery may be q
long step forward in the treatment Of
cancerous growths, scientists hope

Jefferson thought of 1t Is reflected in the follow
ing letter to Robert Livingston, American min
lister to France:
"The cessiOn Of Louisiana and the Flordas by
Spain to France works most s0rely in the United
States. There is on the globe one single
spot, the possessor of which is our natural and
habitual enemy. 1t is New Orleans, through
which the produce of three-eighths of our terri
tory must pass to market. and from its fertility
it will ere long yield more than half of our whole
produce, and contain more than half of our In
habtants. Z. Spain might have retained 1t

In the hands of France. Every eye in
the United States is now fixed on the affairs of
Louisiana"
He then went on to instruct Livingston and
Robert Pinckney. American minister to Spain to
obtain West Florida from Spain and New Orleans
from France. Congress was also fully aware of
the necessity for action and 1t backed up Jeffer-
son by approprating on January 2, 1903, the
sum of $2,000,O00 for the purchase of the desired
territory. Jefferson also appointed James Mon
roe as minister extraordinary to Paris to aid Liv
ingston In the negotiations.
In the meantime, however, events had been
taking place In Europe, and also In America,
which were destined to make Napoleon play
squarely into Jefferson's hands. Although peace
had been declared between France and England
in 1902 Napoleon's belligerent attitude toward
England was rapidly bringing about state of
mind which meant another war; Then, too, Ma
p0leOn's plan of colonial expansion was going

ture in Santo Domingo had been crushed but at
a fearful price and this made Napoleon realize
the difficulties of carrying out his ambitious
project for re-establishing French commercial
domination In the New world.
With war with Great Britain imminent Ma
poleon knew that his problem was greatly in
creased. He was quick to see that England. mis-
tress of the seas, could easily seize and hold
Louisiana. Livingston had not had much sue
cess In his preliminary negotiations for the pur-
chase of New Orleans with two of Napoleon's
ministers. Talleyrand and Marbois. But on Eas-
ter Sunday. 1903. the First Consul announced an
astonishing decision to his ministers. He would

ana Territory to the United Statesl

The all-union congress is composed
of about 1000 members representing
town and township soviets and prov
lncial councils. The congress meets
at least once every two years. Dur
ing recess its powers are exercised
by the central executive committee,
composed of two chambers, the coun-
ell of the union (450 members) and
the council of nationalities (139
members). The committee works
through a presidium of q members,
which exercises full authority when
the committee is in recess. The cen
trail executive committee elects the
8 members of the peoples council OF
commissars, which serves as the ex-

enjoys extraordinary powers, which
are concentrated in the "Politburo'
