BEWARE THE COUGH OR COLD j : THAT HANGS ON Persistent coughs and colds lead to «• serioifx trouble. You can stop them now ■» with Oeomulsion. an emuisihed creosote thatjs pleasant to lake. Creomulsion is a " new-medtcal discovery with two-fold ac. « tion; it soothes and heals the inflamed » membranes and inhibits germ growth. Os all known drugs, creosote is recog- * niwd by high medical authorities as one * of the greatest healing agencies for per- « ststent coughs and colds t-.id other forms * of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, * in addition to creosote, other healingele- , ments which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes “ on to the stomach, is absorbed into the „ blood, attacks the seat of the trouble •> and checks the growth of the germs. * Creomulsion is guaranteed eatisfac- * tory in the treatment of persistent * coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respira"j torn diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or s» flu.

Any thing that can be done by the people of this community towards aiding the sugar companywill be cheerfully performed. During the years that concern operated here there were many evidences ! its benefits and farmers and merchants alike will welcome a return of the industry. t-H 111!. 1 . Maybe it isn’t just Dolite to talk about some other newspaper's headlines, but Monday morning, the Chicago Tribune, (the World's Greatest Newspaper, according to their own modest admission) used as its main head, “Set Capone Term Tomorrow,” while on a single column head was the caption telling of the death of Thomas A. Edison. To think that one of the world's lowest characters should displace announcement of the death of Edison — humanity's benefactor just makes you feel sad and sick at heart. No other expression can describe it. —Columbia City Post. There are signs, here and there, that a real business recovery is not so very far away. For example, there is a report made recently by the White Motor Co., which manufactures trucks. During the last few months business firms have been ordering new trucks in substantial volume; in the first 10 days of this month 161 new orders were received, and the White factory, as a result, is a busy place these days. Now this reflects some sort of revival in confidence on the part of a good many industrial leaders. No firm is going to buy new trucks in quantity unless it has good reason to believe that presently it will be doing more business than it has been doing in the past. This incident would seem to be one of the autumn’s most encouraging developments.— Frankfort Times. Bernard Shaw in a recent radio talk gave an interesting answer to those who are always saying "you can't change human nature." He j advises them to make a-litt\e study (of putty. “Patty," he says, "is exactly like human nature. You ean- ' not change it, no matter what you ! (do. You cannot eat it, nor grow I apples in it, nor mend clothes with it; but you can twist and pat it and model it Into any shape you like. And when you have shaped ! it, it will set so hard you would suppose it could never take any |other shape on earth.” He gives as an obvious example “the Russian putty,” which he suggests is "like the American putty, except perhaps that the American putty is softer in the head, and sets hardi er.” Yes, Shaw is “kidding” us. But not altogether. A great deal can be done with human nature, especially in early life. If it were i . not so, no educational system would | I amount to much. Even adult putty | can be molded effectively. All the I i nations worked on this theory duri , ing the war. Propaganda is a putty knife for shaping human putty in the mass. The Soviet Russian government is the greatest example. > • Lessons In English • « Words often misused: Do not say "You won't do that in a hurry,” to imply, "You will find It difficult to do that," t Often mispronounced: Cornellness. Pronounce kum li-ness. u as in "run”, accent first, syllable. Often misspelled: Cold chisel. Observe thef lrst word, not coal. Synonyms: Precipice, cliff, declivity. Word study: "Use a word three times and it is yours.” Let us increase our vocabulary by mastering onew ord each day. Today's word: Habitation; becoming accustomed. "Habitation to pain tends to lessen its poignancy."
