A citizenry imbued with the spirit of
'T6 Is needed. II the country is to cope sue
cessfGIly with gangsters, according to the
International Police Chiefs Association in
recent convention. quoted by The Pensacola
Journal.
The police chiefs ask, in effect, that
every citizen 'p0t himself on the spot and
Danish all fear of testimony against gang
sters.
And citizens, on their side, plead with
police al over the country to afford every
protection to the person daring enough to
take such risk.
It undoubtedly is true that scores of
citizens who could give evidence against
raeketeers and gangsters are held back
from such action by fear of consequences.
And rightfuliy SO.
Ne man or woman cares to invite a
shot in the dark. just because he did his
civic duty. especially when he suspects that
q policeman is likely to look the other way
because the shooting was done by someone

Give our citizens protection and they
viii do their part But the police have
been far from diligent enough in their pur.
suit Of gangsters to give US the confidence
we need to step up to the witness stand and

Bronchial Troubles
Need Creomulsion

Persistent coughs and colds lead
to serious trouble. You can stop
them now with Creomulsion, an
emulsified creosote that is pleas
ant to take. Creomulsion is a new
medical discovery with two-fold
action; it soothes and heals the
inflamed membranes and inhibits
germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is
recognized by high medical au-
thorities as one of the greatest
healing agencies for persistent
coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion
contains, in addition to creosote,
other healing elements which
soothe and heal the infected mem
branes and stop the irritation and
inflammation, while the creosote
goes on to the stomach, is absorb
ed into the blood, and attacks the
seat of the trouble.
Creomulsion is guaranteed sat
lsfactory in the treatment of per-
sistent coughs and colds, bronchial
asthma, bronchitis, and is excel
lent for building up the system
after colds or flu. Your own drug
gist is authorized to refund your
money on the spot if your cough
or cold is not relieved by Creo-
mulsion. (adv.)
