Then "bottles" pet plugged up, phlegm accumulates, affording; danger-ous germs a breeding place. Your throat i feels hot dry. Tickling, irritation and coughing; set in. I Your cough will be cured only when the flow of the natural fluid is increased, loosening the phlegm so that it can i be expelled.

Many cough "remedies" contain numbing drugs which merely deaden the nerves but don't get at the root of the trouble. Pertussin', a scientific remedy, which doctors have prescribed for many years, is the extract of a famous herb which opens the tiny glands stimulates the flow of the throat's natural moisture and brings quick re- lief. It helps nature heal that awful couch from the inside out. When you feel that warning dryness take a few spoons of Pf.rtcssin. It's absolutely safe.

Franzoni and several witnesses were present and State's Attorney Frederick W.

Wakefield, declared he was ready to proceed, the cases of several alleged slot-machine operators were continued for the third time after they were called in city court yesterday afternoon. The continuance was declared necessary to the Interests of his clients by Attorney Joseph A. McNamara, who said he had been too busy preparing briefs In other cases to prepare certain written motions and briefs on the law pertaining to the slot machine cases. None of McNamara's clicnU answered when their names were called in court. Wakefkld cited the added expense to the State that these repeated continuances would entail.

One witness alone, he pointed out, had come a distance of 11 miles, with a round-trip cost to the State, at 15 cents a mile, of $3.30. Judge Peck admonished McNamara to be sure to have his clients present at the hearing today. He set the time of filing of the writ- ten motions at 9 a. and the time for hearing the case for 2 p. m.

When the ca.ces were first called, it was announced that Attorney George L.

Agcl was to represent two of the respondents. He was In the Judge's chambers awaiting calling of another case, but denied he had anything to do with the slot machine cases.
