Beware Coughs from common colds That Hang On

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 chance with anything less than Creomul- sion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble to aid nature to soothe and heal the infiamed 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 Creomulsion and to refund your money if you are not satisfied with results from the very first bottle. Get CreomulSion right now. (AdV)

Expert Tells Why Soil
Gets Sick. Loses Pep

lions of individual cells in a
single gram of SOIL"
Cultivation of the soil and diff
ferent cropping systems change
the number and activities of these
organisms, he explained, resulting
in changed fertility of the soil.
Any system that depletes the
number and activities of the micro
organisms in the surface soil, de-
pletes the fertility of the soil, and
any system that increases the or
ganic matter increases productlv-
ity of the soil.
Cultivation which permits of soil
erosion, he said, brings to the top
the dead" subsoil, which lacks
the necessary microorganisms for
productivity. He added:
"The. soil also may become
infested with pathOgenic organ.
iSmS, as a result of certain syS-
TENS of cropping, thus leading
to a condition which character
ICES sick or exhausted soils"
This condition can be prevented
or corrected Waksman continued,
warning that soil conservation
practices, to be successful. must
keep a proper balance of the
meteorological population of the
soil, and a proper state of micro
biological efficiency"
