you cannot afford to take chance
with any remedy less potent than
Circumcision, which goes right TO
the seat of the trouble and aids ma
ture to Soothe and heal the inflaIned
mucous membranes and to loosen
and expel the gern-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money If you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained from the very first

on the bottle is CreomulSion, and
you'll get the genuine product and
the relief you want. (Adv)

VETS IN FIGHT
TO SAVE JOBS

Whether the Civil Service Com
mission is required by law to give
military preference to its employees
who are about to be discharged as
we'll as when they are applicants
for employment is to be deter.
mined by the United States Dis
trict Court tomorrow in suit of
far-reaching Importance.
The court test was brought by
John Mackenzie and Leander Cas-
well, both of Boston, Mass. who
were discharged from the Alcohol
Tax Unit, of the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue, on September Is,
1885, in a general reduction of the
force.
Both the petitioners had been
originally appointed under the
military preference law. Their
present suit is based on the claim
that the preference law also ap-
plies in elimination of employees.
They ask that Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau, Commits
Sioner of Internal Revenue Helver-
ing and members of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission be required by
mandamuS to reinstate them.
