long if you take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Three days in bed now is
better than three weeks later on.

On Hallowe'en
Two Centuries Ago and Today!
On Hallowe'en, two centuries ago, country folks set
bowls of cream outside their windows as an offering to
keep witches away. Empty bowls in the morning the
witches had come and gone away satisfied! Meanwhile
Pussy Plinked knowingly on the hearth.
Today, as in those days, the real goblins and witches
are the petty doubts and worries that crowd the joys from
life. A bank account is the protecting charm that chases
them from the minds of men. Like October sunshine,
it puts joy into life - the joy that comes from the assur
ance that the future is provided for.

Importance of a Complete
t UUUM (Thiviri of Km Hncr
Point Fractions
You' can't light coal with a match. Kin
dling is necessary. For the same reason, the
heavier fractions of gasoline can't give you
instant ignition, snappy pick-ups and full
power and mileage unless there; is an ample
supply of low-boiling point fractions to act
as kindling.
Straight-distilled gasoline possesses these
boiling point fractions in correct propor
tions. That is why Red Grown Gasoline is
uniformly satisfactory. It is straight-distilled
gasoline that meets every requirement
of the U. S. Government specifications for
motor gasoline. There is no better gasoline
for cold weather use.
