Be Quick To Treat
Bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis may develop if
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron
chitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take a chance with any medi
cine less potent than Creomulslon
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, inflamed
bronchial mucous membranes.
? Creomuision blends beech wood
creosote bysj ccial 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 Creomuision 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. tAdv.)

During the second half, the offensive
play was about even, as several po
tential Martin scores hit the hoop
and rolled off the non-pay way The
locals' inability to make free shots
also contributed to their downfall,
as the five-point margin of defeat
could have easiiy been overcome had
they made more of their throws from
the foul line
The Engineers presented a fast
breaking and quick passing team, all
very neatly attired in new uniforms
of white satin trimmed with red let

Washington next Tuesday night
For the Martins Shorty Corey was
the pacesetter offensively by scor
ing 11 points, followed by Jack Man
ning with seven, and Breezy Beaird
with six.
For the victors, Lindsay, guard,
was the outstanding performer, as
he led his mates with 13 points, and
turned in the best floor game. Old
"Father" Diem was the best on tlx
floor for the Martins.

'Jarmel Snow Seen
llifi Cotton Season
??
New York City?Cotton's most im
portant season was foreseen today by
Carmel Snow, editor of Harper's
Bazaar, who told the National Cot
ton Council and Cotton-Textile In
stitute that more and more cottons
will be worn this spring.
"For the past six or seven years
there have been real 'fashion-in-the
tub' clothes," Mrs Snow said. "This
spring 1 believe we are going to see
more and more cotton worn. Cotton
as we all know has come to the front
in a big way and is being tremen
dously developed in wonderful de
signs and colors.
"It will be seen piore than ever in
town this spring," she continued.
"For instance we will see cotton used
in flower designs for street dresses
with little matching jackets. Plaid
chambray is beautiful. The cotton
tweeds are marvelous for tailored
suits and sports jackets. Cotton ma
dras has been developed. There are
striped cotton blouses and there are
striped cottons for dresses. Cotton is
being used more and more in up
holstery. In fact, cotton covers the
gamut in ready-to-wear and in many
instances in house-furnishings."

life dependB upon potash because it is
oneibfthe necessary plant foods. Prior to 1914 scarcely
any potash was produced in this country When Euro
pean supplies were cut off during the last war. the price
of potash increased from $35 to as high as $500 per
ton, and in most cases no potash at any price was
available. Born in that emergency, an American potash
industry has been developed, with average prices now
much below those a4 1914. to a point which will assure
supplies of this necessary plant food in the United
States, its possessions, Canada, and Cuba. Thus does
