19 (A3) Sherman went to a boarding home today while the police search for the mother who abandoned the three-year-old boy turned to Washington. The child, wearing a maniature sailor coat with a pathetic chevron on one 6leeve, was shoved inside the door of a home adjoining the Maryland Society for the Protection of Children from Cruelty. A strange man who left the child also left a note, explaining how he gained possession of the waif. The little boy, himself, told questioners his name was Sherman. The rest of it he did not know.

But the note told the name of his mother and said she had gone to a Washington hospital to give birth to another child. Police forwarded the information to Washington and waited for word from there. F. R. HELD UNFIT FOR PRESIDENCY Allied With All Radical, Red Forces, Reed Says St.

Louis, Oct. 19 OP) Former United States Senator James A.

Many a person who is in a pneumonia jacket today had but a "common cold" yesterday! Neglect no cold. Take no chances with your treatment. Treat a cold with a cold medicine, not a Treat it also with internal medicine.

A cold is an internal infection. Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine Is what a cold requires. It is, first of all, a cold tablet, made express-fy for colds. Secondly, it is internal medication, fourfold in effect. Here's what It does: First, It opens the bowels, an advisable step in treating a cold.

Second, it checks the fever in the System, a vital step. Third, itwlieves the headache and, fevasy mm 18 six the of of a as He in at I his broken upper joint to repair itself, ho remembered a Dot hate the otior of automobile exhaust gases. So he peered into chemistry books. Ot very interested and then began two yeai and a half of painstaking research work for an antidote to his pet hate. He came across something about months ago and began a.

Imme- dintelv the dioxide is reduced to oxygon, which is a gas agreeable to every one and very necessary in process of life. But that in not all. Mr. Henry remembered all those malodorous fumes puffed out of the exhaust pipe of the car in front So he made another material which deodorizes the stench (Catalysis the principle of Mr.

On the basis of his own statements he Is at least 67, having lived 50 years In Philadelphia and 17 this city. "I got "interested In chemistry juet to do this." Is his boast.

"I mind to conquer It To the laymen another device for elimination of gases means little. But when it is considered some of the most eminent college physiologists and some of the ace industrial chemists have peen irked for years trying to solve the enigma of cutting down escaping meaning. Anti-exhaust gas meetings In New York are about as popular as anti-noise campaigns and the city officials have been beating the tom-toms for less gas from busses for a long time. Two weeks ago the New York County Grand Jury handed down an order in the form of an Indictment to the bus companies to do something about it. Not so long ago the Madison Avenue.

Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue bus companies of the metropolis tried to get the exhaust above the crowds least. The tops of about 800 busses, according to Mr. Henry, were ripped apart to allow installation of a system which threw the gases above. It was O. K.

for everybody but the bus or automobile behind, Their occupants inhaled all the fumes. Officials said it was a washout and the companies had paid $200 for each installation. The chemists and engineers of automobile companies have been working night and day to get an engine which would have 100 per cent combustion power. They have tinkered with the carburetor for the same purpose. The gasoline companies have been paying high salaries to research workers assigned to the task of putting something into or taking something out of the gasoline to increase its com- DustiDimy to iuu per cent wun no gases, lne best they can do is per cent, Mr.

Henry has learned. The other 25 per cent is bad medicine for motorists and pedestrians alike. "If they play around with It for the next 100 years they never will get the 100 per cent gas or the 100 per cent engine," Mr. Henry states. He believed in that assumption.

Then he hypothesized, the cure is in a chemical process in the exhaust pipe. Today he stands in the way of making a dollar or two. In busses the six-metal catalyst Is by another process burned into the manifolds of the exhaust pipe. The deodorizer is packed into another section of the pipe. Mr.

Henry has also developed a device which can be attached to the exhaust pipe of smaller cars. It will cost about $10 or $12 for an automobile. Somewhat more for busses. Those metals! That's Mr. Henry's secret.

He has a patent on the combination and four other similar conglomerations. The latter four are less efficient but workable. Tests have been made in laboratories of Pennsylvania State College, Cornell University, Lehigh University and St. Thomas College. Each test cost Mr.

Henry $20, so Li on Thru the Use Measures! Fourth, it tones the system and helps fortify against further attack. Bromo Quinine tablets now come sugar-coated as well as plain. The sugar-coated are exactly the same as the regular, except that the tablets are coated with sugar for pal-atability. When you feel a cold coming on, trust to no makeshift methods Adopt the proven course of safety take Bromo Quinine. Taken promptly, these tablets will often break up a cold in 24 hours and that's the speed you Want.

Bromo Quinine tablets contain nothing harmful and are safe to take. Let them be your first thought in case of a cold. Ask your druggist firmly for Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine and accept no substitute. The few pennies' cost may save you a world of trouble.
