Be Quick To Treat Bronchitis Chronic bronchitis may develop If your cough, chest cold, or acute bronchitis is not treated and you cannot afford to take a chance with any medicine less potent than CreoinuLsion 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. Creomul.sion blends beechwood creosote by special 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 Creomulslon with the understanding you must like the way It quickly allays the cough, permitting rest and sleep, or you are to have your money back/ (Adv.) w * i t W I n -r III I 1L ^ A Letter to Johnj' Dear John Tills letter should huvo a lot of j interest lor certainly there has been plenty taking place around the home town the puHl week to slit up all kind* of excitement. I The recent order of the OI'A 1? motorists to cut out driving their | I cars for pleuaure or fun has made a ( big splash. In fact, the situation (created by the order has been the sole topic of conversation for days and days. No matter whore you were, (everybody was tulklng about the gas| less or rather rldeless condition j which faces the biggest majority of | civilians. j And 'from what the boss man in Columbia tells me, the government j is really going to be hard-boiled j about the matter. You either knuckle down and behave by living up to the federal order or else you will do your I traveling on your footsies for many I months I The theaters, restaurants, night j clubs, bridge groups, cocktail parlies, I weddings, and the like are going to : " i be given a haymaker. Just to show j you how determined the OI'A is to (force the citizens to behave and face j the music, it might be mentioned j that last Friday night state checkers] (were in Camden taking a toll of cars |parked in the theater area, night I clnhs, and other places, i The proposed plan of the Junior League to have their midwinter ball at the Kirkwood on January 22. makes one wonder just how many of the fair dames will walk to the ball The League leaders have been very good about announcing that there will he no definite designation as to dress?those who wish to come all! dolled up may do so and those who i prefer sport clothes, may dress that J j way. j U'e talked to one lady who is quite lame >mj. caimot get down to the j movie theater except in a ear. Sh ? j has given up the idea of seeing any I | more pictures for some time. In a | case like this, it is really too bad. | for this lady does not get much out of life because of her crippled conIdition and it does seem that she should not he deprived of her only enjoyment. Someone will suggest that she take a taxi to and from !h 1 theater. Well, she isn't very well to do and taxis cost money. A business man we talked to said that he was perfectly willing to give up his occasional jaunt to the Sarsfleld. cut out calling on friends for an occasional game of cards, but he certainly Intended to see that every body else cooperated In the same manner. And John, ho 1h ilKht. If the restrictions inontlonod in the press are to he Imposed, they should be imposed on all alike. Quite a number of civilians have suggested that unless the police intend to force compliance with the stop and go signals tit Lyttleton and DeKalb streets, they might Just as well discontinue the signals. And if anyone thinks these people do not have the reason to complain let him up .a little checking himself. Wo did knd li Is not any exaggeration tX state thut very Utile respect Is partfcfttf -the signals at that corner. AnoUlCT problem, and wo are happy to say thai Dr. A W. Humphries has taken this one under his wing, and no doubt will solve It very soon, concerns the dog nuisance. Dozens, scores, in fact hundreds of canines are running at large In Camden. For some time many of the citizenry has fumed and growled about the laxity in curbing this evil. Now Dr. Humphries has stepped into the ring and Mr. dog owner may not he surprised it' he gets a notice to either tie FidO up. put him in a kennel, anyway to keep him on his own premises, or Fido may join ills ancestors in that happy hunting ground where doggies ! go. There have been feeble and sporadic attempts to curl) the dog nuisance year after year, but in each instance, little has been accomplished We have an idea that Dr. Humphries is going plates in solving this problem. I (ielting hack to the gas situation? 1 talked to one of the state OCA officials over the telephone the other day and when I asked hm to tell me just what the motorist could not do ?ho said that It would he far easier for him to elucidate on what they could do. He then went on to explain that "if it's fun. it's out." In other words, one cannot drive anywhere for pleasure. Then he added that people could drive their cars to the hospital, to a doctor, take their children to school and also drive to church. Which caused us to remark to the OCA gentleman that we did not feel it was just proper for the OPA to regard going to church as not being a pleasure. In closing John. I just want to take time to tell you what a witty shot Donnip fired in the office last Friday. I was speaking of the gas restrictions and when 1 started to mention the things a motorist could do. Don chimed in and said, "I know Skipper, I know. You can drive to the doctor, then to the hospital, then to church and then to the cemetery."
