Sore Throats and Coughs Quickly Relieved by This Safe Prescription Here's a doctor's prescription called Thoxine that is really throat insurance. Its success is due to its quick double action.

With the very swallow it soothes the sore throat and stops the coughing. It goes direct to the internal cause. The remarkable thing about Thoxine is that while it relieves almost instantly it contains nothing harmful, and is pleasant tasting and safe for the whole family. Singers and speakers find Thoxine very valuable. Put up ready for use in 35c, 60c, and $1.00 bottles.

In this memorial American art has received a notable contribution. Casting aside all classical allegorical and conventional precedents, the creators of this monument have produced an unique work that is thoroughly modern in character, typically American in spirit, and wonderfully successful in conveying to the spectator a feeling of veneration for the genius whom it commemorates. Usually, the principal feature of monuments of this kind is the man himself, but it was thought that, in the case "of George Westinghouse, even his magnificent figure would be inadequate to ex-press his accomplishments; so, though he is shown in a large medallion, leaning over his drawing board, greater emphasis is laid upon those who worked with him, the things of steel and power which he brought into being, and, more especially, an American youth, who gazes upon him with eager, yet reverent, interest.

The monument itself stands upon a base of Norwegian granite, the most beautiful of building materials. Its principal component consists of a large central panel flanked by two semi-circul wings, all of which are: made gold-leafed bronze with No wegian granite insets. The central panel carries the REGISTRATION IN MONESSEN 1,815 LESS THAN 1929 As the result of three days ot personal registration, 3,3 01 voters are eligible to go to the poles in November, a figure which is 1,815 less than the number of participants in the primary according to the registration figures of Monessen. Personal registration figures were light also in Greensburg as in other third class cities due to a general lack of interest in the coming elections. Only 719 voters were registered on the first day, and the increase on the second day was scarcely noticeable.

On Saturday the figures were more than dou bled when 2,698 appeared before the registrars at the various poling places. Light as the figures are in Monessen, the registration shows very creditable comparison with statistics equal size. of communities of INJURED CAR HITS AMBULANCE Washington, Oct. 7 (INS) Samuel J. Plentovich, of Pittsburgh, today was suffering from a probable fracture of the skull, as a result of a collision between the automobile he was driving and an ambulance from Weirton, West Virginia.
