Chronic bronchitis may develop if

Creomulsion blends beechwooo

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-

Washington, Feb. 12-(UP) )-Now comes former Gov. Charles Edison of New Jersey to chide me for want ing to be the janitor of Rep. Ed ward J. Hart's Investigating com- mittee.
 The pay is $l56O a year and, &C., cording to Rep. Albert J. Engel of Michigan. the work is nil, or durn near. My kind of job, all right.
 Not so, retorted Edison in an urg- ent communication. Better oppor- tunitics for weary janitors he said exist In New Jersey
 l might get on the payroll as an organist in the Hudson County jail, he added, or become the courthouse janitor's secretary at $4,000 a year, or maybe be foreman of vacuum cleaners for Mayor Frank Hague.
 Just word of caution" wrote Edison from West Orange. Do not agree to take that job unless you receive the same emolumcnts of of- flee which Harts home organiza- tion under Mayor Hague gives to janitors- in Hudson County
 Official civil service records showed that the county. in consid- eratlon of the onerous, back break ing duties of it's courthouse janitor, found 1t only fit and proper that he should have secretary at sal ary of $4,000. Just visualize your self dictating letters to your sec retary while you arc busy with q mop. Perhaps you'll have letter. heads with gold seals. The pos abilities are infinite"
 They certainly are. As busi- ncSHman of experience (he's pres ident of Thomas A. Edison, Incl. Edison suggested that by all means I persuade Rep. Hart to appoint me secretary to the janitor.

 Hague also has on the county payroll foreman of vacuum clean CTS at $4,O00 year." Edison said. Hart has hometown precedent for setting up that job. too. Whats good enough for Hudson County is good enough for Washington. That has been the battle cry these many years. Why change now?"
 I could superintend at least six vacuum cleaners at that wage and I might even dust the rug. but I've got to think about 1t. These new horizons, as outlined by Edison, have me confused.
 Have you not been too nasty in applying for the job you wrote about?" he asked. Don't you feel that there are other and more gol- den opportunities, if you only play your cards right with MT. Hart?
