Be Quick To Treat

Chronic bronchitis may develop if
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron-
cfitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take a chance with anymedi-
cine less potent than Creomulsion
which goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
soothe and heal raw, tender, infiamed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creosote byspecial process with other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of CreomulSion with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per-
mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv)

Probably the most convenient
and economical place to simmer a
beef tongue is in the deep well
cooker of the modern electric
range. The cooking period for a
beef tongue varies from to 8
hours, depending on the size, but
because the electric well cooker is
a heavily insulated kettle, no more
current Is required for the process
than is consumed by the ordinary
100-watt electric light. More than
that, the dinners dessert may be
placed in an inset pan above the
meat and steamed at the same
time!
Directions are given here for a
rich steamed chocolate date pud-
ding as we'll as for preparing the
tongue with a curry-favored gravy
made from the cooking broth-a
trick you'll like because it adds a

may even be slightly lumpy. The
