No matter how many medicines
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

less potent than CreomulSion, which
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and aids nature to Soothe and heal
the inf1amed mucous membranes
and to- loosen and expel germ
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. .CreomulSion is one
word, ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomulsion,
and you'll get the genuine product
and tho relief you want. (Adv.)

PRESIDENT OFF
FOR CAPITAL TO
TACKLE BUDGET
Decline In WPA Rolls
Seen by Hopkins
By GEORGE DURNO

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Oct. "a
G.N.S0 President Roosevelt
heads back to Washington today
for a ten-day stay to tackle next
years budget estimates, happy
over the prediction of WPA Ad-
ministrator Harry Hopkins that
relief expenditures definitely could
be cut as a result of what appears
to be a lasting business upturn.
The President was entraining
for the Capital about 2 o'clock
for series of conferences with
acting Budget Director Daniel
Bell-who had been warned in
advance to bring along his blue
pencil"
Hopkins, before leaving for Chi
cago for a WPA conference, told
the President that private reports
on the number Of relief-rollers had
convinced him the country was
over the worst of the hump"
Last official figures were in excess
of 100000, but the adminiStrar
tor said a decline would be shown
two weeks hence.
Mr.. Roosevelt has stated the
next fiscal years budget would be
affected by the necessity for
marked improvements in the Navy
and Army as a guarantee OF ma
tional defense.
