finder.

A Three Days* Cough
Is Your Danger Signal
No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your cough, chest cold, or
bronchial irritation, you can get relief
now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble
may be brewing and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any remedy less
potent than Creomulsion, which goes
right to the seat of the trouble and aids
nature to soothe and heal the Inflamed
mucous membranes and to loosen and
expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don’t be discouraged, try Creomulsion.
Your druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not thoroughly
satisfied with the benefits obtained
from the very first bottle. Crcomulsir n is
one word—not two, and it has no hyphen
in it. Ask for it plainly, see that the
name pn the bottle is Creomulsion, and
you’ll get the genuine product and the
relief you want. (Adv.)

NEW YORK (Special)—Not only will
the New York World’s Fair 1939 be the
largest exposition in history, but It will
have the most luxurious Central Mali
ever designed, a mile-long walk to cost
$60,000,000, Grover A Whalen, president
of the Fair corporation, announces.
And, not only will the Mall be the most
magnificent ever laid out, but it will con-
tain a number of other "largests"—struc-
tures and works of art that have never
been surpassed for size or elegance, he
added.
In addition to the Trylon, tallest tri-
angular spire ever raised, and the Peri-
sphere, largest ball ever made by man-
kind, the Mall will form a setting for the
largest portrait statue fashioned since
the Egyptians hewed the likeness ol
Rameses II from rock in the land of the
Nile. It will portray George Washington
as he arrived for his inauguration exact-
ly 150 years previous to the opening day
of the Fair. It will be 65 feet tall and its
mass will be more than 500 times that of
an average six-foot man.
The tallest sundial ever erected, sup
ported by a life-size tree sculptured by
the celebrated Paul Manship, will actual-
ly tell time for Fair visitors, for the nu-
merals denoting the hours of the day wil
be set in a huge, circular plot where the
sundial’s shadow will fall from 50 fee'
above.
More than a million plants and a thou
sand trees will be used in landscaping the
Mall. f
