You can stop them now w,th Creomulsion, and emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion Is a new medical discovery with twofold action; It soothes and heals tlie*inflamcd mem branes and kills the germ. Of all known drugs, creosote Is ree ognized by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treatment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat and * lung troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other heal ing elements which soothe and heal the Inflamed 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 destroys the germs that lead to consumption.

MY DAUGHTER WOULD CRY AT EVERYTHING Nervous and Irritable. ByTaking LydiaE-Pinkbam’sVegetableCom pound Became Entirely Normal Clinton-Wisconsin‘ ■ My daughter was in a very run-down condition, and wan irritable, and would cry at every little thing Rho was ho weal< and nervous. As Lydia E.PinUham’s Veg etable Compound had helped me when I was a girl I gave it to her to build her up, and the results were all that we could Jwish for. 1 wish that every mother with growing girls would try it for these troubles girls often have. 1 had taken it myself before my girl was born, and she was one of the nicest babies any one could wish to have. I recommend the Vege table Compound to women and girls and cannot praise it too highly. ’ — Mrs. I. A. HoLFORD, Box 48, Clinton, Wisconsin. Mothers can depend upon Lydia E. ^srrrinkham's Vegetable Compound to re lieve their daughters of those troubles they so often nave. They know from experience the value of the Vegeta ble Compound in the treatment of these complaints and many, like Mrs. Wolford, give it to their daughters. m ' Injured Boy Seeks $100,000 Damages Crippled three years ago in auto accident, Vincent Morley (above) tuts filed suit in New York City court for $100,000. yet but such a meeting will lie held In the near future. "The one thing that I want above all else,” Smith said. "Is for the people who have planned on building to go right ahead. There is no reason for anyone to become 'panicky.' as I believe everything will be settled peaceably." This ultimatium by the building trades, which was reported exclusive ly in The Evening Bee Tuesday, calls for 100 percent union labor on all building projects by April 1.’ It indicates an organization of the building trades council in which a number of local unions were at variance a year ago.

Lincoln, Jan. 33.—Reports of crop planting intentions are to be issued regularly by the United States De partment of Agriculture, division of crop and livestock estimates here, A. ; E. Anderson, head of the division, and its statistician, announced today. This service was started -last year and its continuation has been re quested by many farmers, he said. "It will aid in adjusting produc tion to demand,” he added. The first report of planting inten tions of farmers was published last April. This year, the report will ap pear in March so as to give great er opflortunity to adjust the acreages of many crops thnt appear loo high or too low. The regular reports on acreage appear too late to be of value in adjusting acreage and re quests from farmers throughout the country that this service he con tinued and expanded indicate that this service will be of practical value, Mr. Anderson declared. The report on planting intentions on all crops will be made in August This information will be based upon the individual farm planting intention reports from all parts of the country. With the thousands of regular and special crop reporters that co-operate witli the department, sufficient Information wdl be receiv ed to be representative of the plant ing plans for the year. Comparisons will be made with the records of past years and farmers will be enable.! to take the first steps necessary to ad just acreage to probable demand and to that extent lessen the chance* for overproduction or underprixluctkm.

Lewis, interna tionat president. This action was in sharp contrast to previous conven tlons in which the president's report has provoked bitter debate.

Thousands of orphaned children can rightfully accuse the drug Acetanilide of bringing their fathers and mothers to untimely graves. At least 25^ of all proprietary cold and headache remedies contain Acetanilide, a drug that deteri orates the blood, degenerates the heart, kidneys and liver and often forms a habit. Masked under dif ferent trade-names these remedies are finding their way into nearly every home, sapping the strength, ruining the health, shortening the life of millions. Every intelligent health-loving man and woman is urged to discon tinue the use of cold and headache remedies containing Acetanilide. To obtain prompt and at the same time safe relief fo* a cold, head ache, neuralgia, rheumatism or pain in general, get front your druggist a few Nebrin tablets, take 1 or 2 tablets every two or three hours and you will always get safe and satisfactory results. Nebrin tablets do not depresi the heart or form a habit, are absolutely free from Acetanilide or other harmful drugs, and are considered the safest cold and headache remedy and pain re liever obtainable. Aspirin users should also give Nebrin a trial. They will find Nebrin entirely free of the depress ing action that is so objectionnble in Aspirin.
