Out of War SELLING TALK A. W. Franklin, secretary of the United Commercial Travelers of America, said at a dinner in Co lumbus: “All commercial travelers should have the gift of persuasion, but few can ever hope to equal young Bed- does. “A junior partner, as he came into the office, nodded toward the retreating figure of young Beddoes and said to his senior: “ ‘I see you’ve taken on a new salesman. Is he good?’ “ ‘Good?’ the senior partner said. Tn the half hour he’s been with us he almost talked me into taking him into the firm as senior partner. Nothing but your opportune arrival saved me.’ ” FOLKS NEXT DOOR By GLUYAS WILLIAMS 3U No Proof Boogy—That old friend I was tell ing you about claims to be a rela tive of yours.

Equipped with tubs, hot water, soap and towels, they offer free bathing facilities. The Chinese army awards a cash bonus, instead of stripes, to its soldiers when they are injured, privates getting $10, officers $40 and generals $100 for every wound. Bank clerks, pay-roll carriers and night watchmen may now call for help during a holdup, without endangering their lives by' an alarming move, through a new ra dio transmitter that they wear under their shirts. Taking a deep breath closes the electric circuit which makes the set silently flash alarm signals to a central receiv ing station. V Positive identification of horses has been found practicable through photographs or gutta-percha molds of the roofs of their mouths, which are as distinctive and individual as human fingerprints.—Collier’s. Docs Note Came Easy To Chemist—With Cash - ! An invitation to dinner had been sent to the new doctor. In reply the hostess received an absolute ly illegible letter. “I must know if he accepts or declines,” she declared. “If I were you,” suggested her husband, “I should take it to the druggist. They can always read doctors’ letters.” The druggist looked at the sheet of notepaper which she had hand ed him, and without waiting for her explanation went into his dis pensary and returned a few minutes later with a bottle which he handed over the counter. “There you are, madam,” he said. “That will be $1.50, please.” INDIGESTION Sensational Relief from Indigestion and One Dose Proves It If the first dose of this pleasant-Ustlng little black tablet doesn't bring you the fastest and most complete relief you have experienced send bottle back to us and get DOUBLE MONEY BACK.

Is an Inflammatory condition of the mu cous membranes lining the bronchial tubes. Creomulsion goes right to the seat of the trouble to loosen germ laden phlegm, increase secretion and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed bronchial mucous membranes. Tell your druggist to sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with the undemanding that you are to like the way it quickly allays the cough or you are to have your money back.
