COL DS
Go Thru 3 Stages
and They're Far Easier
ReLieUed in the First than in
the Second or Third!

A cold ordinarily goes through
8 stages: the Dry Stage, the first
"a hours; the Watery Secretion
Stage, from / to 3 days; and the
Mucous Secretion Stage. The first
stage is the time to mail" a cold.
Groves Laxative Bromo Quinine
is the treatment for colds. It is ex-
pressly a cold tablet, and not a
preparation good for half dozen
other things as well. It is definite
and internal, which is what cold,
an internal infection, requires. It
does four important things. It
opens the bowels, combats the in
lection in the system, relieves the
headache and fever and tones and
fortifes the system. Don't be sat-
isfied with anything less than that.

nine at any druggists. Ask for it

their friendship had the solidity
nroner to two who have shared a
long. hard Winter. AS he came up

of her fiagstone walk to meet MIN
Very frail she seemed, and mysteri-
ouslv sad; when he saw her ne 1eit
ashamed Of his good health ana
cheerfulness.
He looked like an overgrown inno-
cent with his cheerful, white-teethed
smile. His large nostrils shifted IN
great puffs of the damp air; his blue
sray coat appeared about to burst
with the deep respirations OF his bar
rel chest.
Nothing this morning, at all ne

whose daddy had brought her candy;
This was their own private joke, and
consequently more appreciated than
it was perhaps worth.
Oh" she smiled reproachfully. he
brought the hand out then and gave
her the letters, the paper. the maga-
zne he had. She shuffied through
the letters casually, pretending to look
at both him and them at the same
time.
Then the postman noticed that Just
for a moment she looked disappointed.
you're sure to catch pneumonia in

apprieyedly. Look! There are big
holes in them-your feet must be
soaked"

She brought up her thin shoulders

apologized. And I guess wanted

"You know" the postman said, "a

never thinks Of the way people wall
for him. I suppose they do. That
is. some of them-those who have
something special to wait for
