A Three Days Cough
Is Your Danger Signal

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take a chance
with anything less than Creomul-
sion, which goes right to the seat
of the trouble to aid nature to
soothe and heal the inflamed mem
branes as the germ-laden phlegm
is loosened and expelled.
Even If other remedies have
failed, don't be discouraged, your
druggist is authorized to guarantee
Circumcision and to refund your
money if you are not satisfied with
results from the very first bottle.
Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv9

OF a skin grating operation on his
back some years ago.
200 Witness Whlppings
Two hundred spectators crowded
around a high wire fence to watch.
Most Of them were from a weekly
cattle bazaar nearby.
There were a few women IN the
crowd, and a few children, but
most were men.
The whippings were administered
BY Sheriff William G. Bush. He
iidn't sleep well the night before

The men whipped are Leroy Glib
on, chicken thief; William Butch
