SEVENTY CENTS—AND TRAGEDY
E. W. McDaniel, a far-away look in his eye, entered a
local cafe the other morning about 8 o'clock.
Taking a seat at the counter, he Risked for an order of
cereal, and, much to the surprise of the waiter, had a second
helping placed nearby.

at the vacant place to his right. *
Coffee was ordered . . . not one
but two cups, and a double order
of toast. Each time our hero would
eat a slice of toast he would lay
one piece aside.
At last the meal was consumed.

Bronchial Coughs
Need Creomulsion
Just a common cough, a chest
cold, or a bronchial irritation of to
day may lead to serious trouble to
morrow. They may be relieved now
with Creomulsion, an emulsified
Creosote that is pleasant to take.
Creomulsion is a medicinal com
bination designed to aid nature in
soothing and healing infected mu
cous membranes by allaying Irrita
tion and inflammation and by
aiding in loosening and expelling
the germ-laden phlegm.
The Medical Profession has for
many years recognized the benefi
cial effect of Beechwood Creosote in
the treatment of coughs, chest colds,
and bronchial irritations. A special
process was worked out by a chemist,
for blending Creosote with other in
srredients and now in Creomulsion vou

get a real dose of genuine Beechwood
Creosote which is palatable and can
even be taken frequently and contin
uously by both adults and children.
Creomulsion is one preparation
that goes to the very seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel the
germ-laden phlegm. When coughs,
chest colds and bronchial troubles—
due to common colds—hang on, get
a bottle of Creomulsion from your
druggist, use it as directed and if
you are not satisfied with the relief
obtained, the druggist is authorized
to refund every cent of your money.
Creomulsion is one word—not two,
and it has no hyphen in it. Ask for
it plainly, see that the name on the
bottle is Creomulsion, and you'll
get the genuine product and the re
lief that you want. (Adv.)

which we've never forgotten. It's
about a mule, and everyone who
has heard It please raise your
right hand.
There was a wild-eyed Irishman
Whose hame was Simon Slick.
He had a mule with dreamy eyes
And O that mule could kick.
He'd wag his tail and shake his
head
And greet you with a smile.
Then telegraph his" legs
To kick you half a mile.
He ran into a railroad car
And knocked it off the track.
He stuck his heel in a greaser's
ear
And broke a negro's back.
He dissected sixteen Chinamen,
Kicked a yellow dog,
Knocked the stuffing out of a
goose
And killed a big fat hog.
He ran into a peanut stand
And knocked it out of sight!
He ran Into a boarding house
At 12 o'clock at night.
The women all out and
screamed.
The men held their breath!
He rammed his hind leg down
his throat
And kicked himself to death!
And after that he had no kick
coming.

The following will was filed for
probate in an eastern North Car
olina county—we think:
To my wife, I leave her lover,
and the knowledge that I was not
the fool she thought I was. I also
leave her my overdraft at the
bank; she can best explain it.
To my son, I leave the pleas
ure of earning a living. For 25
years the pleasure has been mine.
To my daughter, I leave SIOO,-
000. She will need it. The only
good piece of business her hus
band ever did was to marry her.
I want six of my creditors for
pall-bearers, for they have carried
me so long they might as well
finish the job.
