Still Coughing?

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 any remedy less
potent than CreomulSion, which goes
right to the seat of the trouble and aids
nature to soothe and heal the inflamed
mucous membranes and to loosen and
expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomulsion.
Your druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not thoroughly
satisfied with the benefits obtained
from the very first bottle. Circumcision is
one word-not two, and it has no hyphen
in it. Ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomulsion, and
you'll get the genuine product and the
relief you want. (Adv) .

NARCOTICS CLUE
 TOCHECK PASSER
Doctors Prescription List Expected to Establish
 Identity of Suspect

Lieutenant Detective William F. Pollard and Arthur Rivard of the state department of health, narco- tics division, were today working to- gether in an attempt to bring about the apprehension of an alleged drug addict who cashed two bogus checks in this city Tuesday afternoon. Both checks were for $12.50 one being cashed at a drug store and the other at Q department store.
 In each case the man used the name of 6 fictitious minister. He is believed to be dope flend because the bogus check passed in the drug store was in exchange for narcotics.
 A letter from 6 recognized out of town doctor identifies the check paSser as having had . recent oper- ation in which a portion of a lung was removed. The letter states that narcotics are necessary to the quiet ing of his nerves, and orders that druggists sell them to him. A check. up with the doctor is expected to expose the identity of the bogus check-passer. Meanwhile local drug clerks were warned to be on the lookout for him.

city's voting districts were named to a campaigning committee which will solicit voters in the interests of the mayors reelection.
 Both Republicans and Democrats are members of the organization, which was formed on @ non-partisan basis to back the mayor. Members feel that the Fusion organization sighted those of German descent in dropping two German American aldermen from thet icket this year. They are likewise mindful of the numerous honors the mayor has paid the German-Americans of the city and state. ....t
 The German vote this year is ex- pected to be strongly Democratic. Much resentment was aroused when the Fusionists ignored the German people in their makeup of Q ticket.

INCREASED GRANT
 WILL BE DELAYED
City Must Wait Despite Approval Yesterday for
 Additional Funds

Waterbury and other state cities will probably have to wait for some time for increased grants in con. nection with child health aud well fare services and aid to crippled children under the social security act, even though the approval for additional funds was ordered yes- terday in Washington for the 1888 fiscal year.
 At the present time in Connecti- cut there are still some provisions of the social security act which have not geen finding approved by the state legislature. It is expected that the additional grants, unless some special action is taken, will not be approved in the state until 1889 when the state legislature con- venes again.
 No state has yet approved the cripple children aid section of the act as yet. Yesterday in Washing ton 1t vas stated that grant of $91, ,229 is available for the state. This is the first year this grant has been made.
 In the maternal and child health service there is an increase from $41 ,654, the federal payments for the 1887 fiscal year, $44, ,435, funds avail able for the 1888 period. in child welfare service the increase is from $10,2e1 to $27,116.
 Increases are recorded through out the country. In maternal and child health service they are from $2,989,014 to $4,649,111. In services for crippled children they are from $2,0ll1 ,606 to $4,051, ,450. In child welfare services they are from $968, ,827 to $2,087, 7,494.
