you have tried for your common
cough, chest cold, or bronchial irri-
tation, you may 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

and TO loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm.
DEven 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. Creomulsion is one

name on the bottle is Creomulsion,
and you'll get the genuine product
and the relief you want. (Ady)

WASHINGTON FRIDAY,

to Johnny Chuck's bedroom at the
end. There was one thing Peter no.
ticed before he reached Johnny's
bedroom and this was that it was de-
cidedly warmer down there than up
near the doorway. In fact, it was
quite comfortably warm, and also it
was dry down there. Johnny had
wisely dug below the deepest point
to which Jack Frost would be able to
freeze the ground. Jack Frost
couldn't possibly reach in and pinch
him there.
When at last Peter reached
Johnny Chuck's bedroom, he paused
for some time. He was afraid to go
in. He didn't know why, but he was
afraid. He wanted to run away-to
get outside. 1t just didn't seem real
that Johnny Chuck was there asleep
Evening star., 1938-12-23

and had been there asleep all the
time since the first cold weather
weeks before. It gave Peter that
funny, creepy feeling more than ever.
So Peter had pc Used for q long
time at the entrance to Johnny
Chuck's bedroom, eager to 60 in. yet
wanting to run away. At last curl
osity won over fear, and Peter stole
In very much like a thief. Johnny
Chuck was there curled up in his bed
Of dry grass. He didn't move. He
didn't make the least sign that he
knew Peter was there. Peter
thumped the floor lightly with one
of his hind feet. Many times in the
summer had he thumped to Johnny
Chuck in just that way. At the
same time he cried Merry Christ
maS!"
Evening star., 1938-12-23

Nothing happened. Johnny Chuck
made no reply. He didn't move.
Peter reached out and touched him
gently. Johnny showed no signs Of
having felt that touch. Peter
reached over and gave him push,
but he might just as well have
pushed a stone or q block Of wood.
Somehow Johnny Chuck didn't seem
real.
Yet Johnny Chuck was real, just
as real as Bowser the Hound. He
was just as much alive as was Bow
ser the Hound, although he showed
no signs of life that Peter could
discover. The truth Is Johnny was
spending Christmas just as he had
spent every day of the winter so far
and just as he would spend the re-
mainder of the winter-asleep

kind Of Joy. You have seen a house
closed for the winter, everybody
gone away. OF course you have.
There is nothing joyous about such
house, is there? Well, Johny
Chuck's house was just like that. 1t
Is true that Johnny Chuck hadn't
gone away. He was still there, but
he might just as well have been
away.
You see it was this way: When
Peter had found himself actually in
side Johny Chuck's doorway his
curiosity at once suggested that he
should take this chance to see Just
how Johnny Chuck looks when Re is
asleep for the winter. Peters better
feelings had urged him not to, but
his curiosity was the stranger and so
Peter had crept down the long hall

SHADOWS OF LIFE

The country is filled with boys,
Happy girls and dancing toys.
They watch the birds and pick the
flowers
And pass away the happy hours.
I think of one dear boy today,
Oh, why is it we can say
''He cannot run or walk or play
But sits at home the livelong day."
He cannot learn to read or write,
To pass away the hours;
He only has glimpse of life
Of trees and birds and flowers.
His toys they have grown to old;
He cannot earn, a dime.
Oh, think how sad it all would be
To sit there all the time.
A better day for this poor boy,
He cannot hope to see;
Yet he wants to leave his home
And 60 to old M ID.
He has a mother and a dad,
Who tolls from day to day;
To try to help their crippled boy,
To pass the hours away.
He is now man off thirty-one,
And looks so well and strong;
Yet he cannot walk one step
And sits there all day long.
You girls and boys that are well
and strong
Please think of crippled Ben.
His home is on Old Big Laurel
''Why can't you visit him?"

BY THE BROOK
BY THARON YOUNG

I got real good fairy book
And went thorugh the meadow to a
little brook;
It was a pretty little trickling
stream,
And while I was reading it would
sing
A song of the fairies as they
would play
Play in the meadows all the day.
The daisies had the rhythm, too,
And the little violets of blue.
I went away after while,
While the daffodils did stand and
smile.
7, came back then about every day
md with nature and fairyland
would play.

many homes, we are convinced that
do not know how to care for the
sick and fatal consequences often re-
suit ).
"a fourth need for a hospital
within our bounds is that it would
make our people more hospital con-
scious. There are people who need
to 60 to hospital who do not go be-
cause of the dread of what might
be exceedingly high cost. 1t may
be only a fear, but it exists. A hos
pital at home would remove that
fear
"A fifth thing that we should con-
slider is the probability that our
people in large numbers will take
out hospital insurance as thousands
have done in burial associations.
would enable them to have hos
'pital treatment at low cost -.
"a sixth need is that we need to
cooperate more fully with the
health agencies that are already at
work. A modernly equipped hos
pital would allow this department
to better serve our people in need
of vaccination, examinations, etc.
Seventh is the savings to our
people in having to carry their sick
long distances and in the repeated
visits they must make as love calls
them so often to distant hospital
beds =.
"In the light of these and other
needs, your committee believes that
a hospital adequate to our demands
can be secured. We would call up
on the people of our county to rally
as one to meet this need and to con-
tact various agencies that would
help make this need a reality. Re-
spectfully submitted, r. H. Stone,
chairman"
The proposed building plan sub
mitted by Prof. Plummer provided
for Is private rooms, two wards,
operating room, kitchen, reception
room, Office, and so on. It is esti-
mated that it would cost $25, 100000
to construct.
The finance committee reported
that according to reports, money
can be secured from the Duke En-
dowment to pay for at least one
third of the building and it was al
so stated that WPA approval could
be obtained. AS to whether or not
both could be secured, the commit
tee was unable to say. However, il
plans to send representatives tc
Charlotte in the near future. II
was also stated that several thou
sand dollars could be raised in the
county through a subscription cam
paign.
The disqualification and insur.
ance committee reported that there
are already three plans now in opr.
alton in the state: the Hospita.
Care Association, Durham; Hospital
Savings Assn, Chapel Hill and the
Interocean Assn. All three Of then
provide 81 days of hospital service
to individuals at a cost of $500 pei
year and to the entire family at {
cost of $1,000 per year. This, it was
pointed out, would be a means by
which Ashe county people could
most easily buy disqualification.
