the city police department. Forty men
sat about the long table in the hotel's
private dinning room, these including
Mayor Strachan, chairmen of the fire
and police committees, chiefs of the two
departments and their men.
The supper was one of the finest this
hotel has served but the spirit that
prompted it and the glad welcome and
hospitality of the gracious host were
enjoyed fully as much as the supper it
self. Mr. Somers was toastmaster and a
half dozen of theose present responded
to calls for short talks, everybody
speaking in highest terms of the two de
partments and their records.

A THREE DAYS
COUGH IS YOUR
DANGER SIGNAL
Chronic coughs and persistent colds
lead to serious lung trouble. You can
stop them now with Crfeomulsion, an
emulsified creosote That is pleasant to
take. Creomulsion is a new medical
discovery with two-fold action; it
soothes and heals the inflamed mem
branes and kills the germs.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog
nized by the medical fraternity as the
greatest healing agency for the treat
ment of chronic coughs and colds and
other forms of throat and lung trou
bles. Creomulsion contains, in addi
tion to creosote, other healing ele
ments which soothe and heal the in
i'.amed membranes and stop the irri
tation and inflammation, while the
creosote goes on to the stomach, is
absorbed into the blood, attacks the
seat of the trouble and destroys the
germs that lead to consumption. ,
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac- j
tory in the treatment of chronic coug-ia i
and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal '
tronchitis and other forms of throat
rnd lung diseases, and is excellent j
for building up the system after colds :
or the nu. aioney reiunaea it any
cough or cold, no matter of how long
standing, is not relieved after taking
nccording to directions. Ask your
druggist.
