 at Session Yesterday

Breton Woods, N. H., July 7.- (UP)-Women who fix up their faces should not forget to fix up their souls, according to pr. Augusta Maguire Wider of Mitchell, s. D., National Study club chairman of the Catholic Daughters of America. "How much time do some women spend every day fixing up their bodies and their faces, striving to make themselves as beautiful as they can?" asked Dr. Wider at last nights session of the organizations 17th biennial convention. Some spend half an hour, some much more than that. And how much time do these same women spend in fixing up something much more i'm portant, their souls? How many there are, who spend not even five minutes day in prayer and devo- tions." She urged a daily family prayer.

INVALID HELPS
RESCUE MAN

A 49-year-old invalid whose back
was broken in an automobile acct
dent two years ago today triumph
antly told how she left her wheel
chair to walk to the telephone in
her home and summon aid for a
man injured in fall from a train
that passed her house.
Mrs. Evelyn Middlekauff, the
invalid, lives at 3104 E st. S. E.,
close to the Baltomore and Ohio
railroad tracks. While watching
the trains go by yesterday, she
saw George Mccoy, 20, of Clifton
Forge, Va, fall into the path of
a moving train as he attempted
to board a freight car.
Painfully, Mrs. Middlekauff,
whose back was broken, hobbled to
the telephone to call hospital at
tendants. Mccoy was taken to
Casualty Hospital where he is said
to have suffered a probable skull
fracture and severely lacerated
left shoulder.
Last year, Mrs. Middlekauff, sit.
ting in the window of her home,
witnessed another train accident.
On that occasion, Pete La Londe,
80, Of Cleveland, fell beneath the
wheels Of a freight train as it
passed in the vicinity of her house.
She managed to summon aid for
him, too.
Her feat yesterday, however, was
brushed aside by the modest
woman who took more pride in her
ability to walk" to the telephone
than any praise for her samaritan
deed.

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 ma
ture 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 Creomul-

refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained from the very first
