Chronic bronchitis may develop If
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron-
chitis is not treated and you cannot

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, inf1amed
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

mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. ,(Adv.)

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The United Nations won two
great victories over enemy sea
power in 1943-a doubling of
new tonnage constructed as
compared with 1912 and a 80
per cent decrease in shipping
losses.
The latest shipping communique
issued by the Office of War Infor-
nation, under authority of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill, did not total the number
of U-ooat kills made by Allied forces
during 1943 nor the cargo tonnage
lost, but it did reveal marked i'm
provement in the last half of the
year in the guarding of United Ma
t1ons ships against the enemy.
OF the total merchant snip ton
mage sunk during the year, nearly
half was lost during the first three
months, 81 per cent in the second
quarter, while the third and fourth
quarter combined losses totaled 26
per cent.
Sinking of U-boats Declines.
1t had been announced previously
that $50 U-boats were destroyed in
the second and third quarters of
1S43, total greater than the num-
Der of Allied ships lost by submarine
action. The communique disclosed.
however, that fewer U-boats were
destroyed during December by our
air and sea forces owing to several
factors, including increased caution
by the enemy"
Text of the joint announcement
follows:
The following joint Anglo
American statement on submarine
and antiSubmarine operations is
issued under the authority of the
President and the Prime Minister:
Il. Total merchant shipping ton
mage lost by U-boat action in De-
cember was again low despite an
extension of operating areas. Fewer
U-boats were destroyed during the
month by our air and sea forces
owing to several factors, including
increased caution by the enemy.
Our supply routes were, however,
we'll secured against U-boat attack.
Allied Losses Drop 60 Per Cent.
%. In 1943, U-boats sank but 40
per cent of the merchant ship ton
mage that they sank in 1912. On
the other hand, United Nations
merchant ship tonnage constructed
in 1943 approximately doubled the
tonnage delivered in 1912. Nearly
half of our tonnage lost for the year
1943 was during the first three
months; 27 per cent was lost dur
ing the second quarter of 1943, and
only 26 per cent was lost during the
last six months"
