Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On
Creomulsion relieves promptly be-
cause it 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, in-
flamed bronchial mucous mem-
branes. Tell your druggist to sell you
a bottle of Creomulsion with the un-
derstanding you must like the way it
quickly allays the cough or you are
to have your money back.

Here Are Some Facts Relative To
Shoe Rationing
Coupon No. 18 is valid indefinitely, instead of expiring on
Oct. 31. A new shoe stamp, No. 1 on the “airplane” sheet
in War Ration Book No. 3, will become valid Nov. 1st, and
so far as is known now, there will be no more shoe stamps
until May, 1944.
Buy shoes only when you need them and conserve leather
for our Armed Forces. Be sure and have your feet prop-
erly fitted when you buy. We will gladly help fit your feet
and assist you in selecting the shoes most satisfactory for

“A Good Safe Place To Trade”
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
SERVICES
“Doctrine of Atonement” is
the subject of the Lesson-Sermon
which will be read in all Churches
of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday,
October 17.
The Golden Text is: “Thomas
saith unto him, Lord, we know
not whither thou goest; and how
can we know the way? Jesus
saith unto him, I am the way,
the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by
me” (John 14:5,6).
Among the citations which
comprise the Lesson-Sermon is
the following from the Bible:
“Let this mind be in you, which
was also in Christ Jesus” (Philip-
pians 2:5). 9
The Lesson-Sermon also in-
cludes the following passage from
the Christian Science textbook,
“Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker
Eddy: “Wisdom and Love may
require many sacrifices of self
to save us from sin. One sacri-
fice, however great, is insuffi-
cient to pay the debt of sin. The
atonement requires constant self-
immolation on the sinner’s part”
