What To Do For a Cough.

There are so many pet ways of
trea ting coughs and colds, and so
many friends ready with all kinds
Of advice, that, when a cough is
contracted, 1t often botihers per-
SON TO remember what they did for
the last one.
The following home made rem
edy, kept in the home ready for
use, will overcome am obstinate
cough quicker than amy expensive
medicine you could buy. Any
woman can make 1t in few mo-
ments-here is the recipe:
Granulated Sugar Syrup. =. .i3h OF.
Pfnex Observation-Disclosures. 21a or
5. Put the Pinex in clean pint
bottle and fill up the bottle with
the Syrup, made as follows: Take a
pint of Granulated Sugar, add Il
cup of water, stir and let boil just
q moment. Take teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours, as
required. This recipe makes a full
pint of the cough syrup, and if
kept we'll corlzed, it will never
spoil. Tastes so good that children
will take it without kicking
This simple cough syrup usually
stops deep seated cough in "a
hours. It is also excellent for
colds, whooping cough, bronchial
troubles, incipient consumption,
pains in the chest, etc.
Pinex, as you probably know, is
the most potent form of Norway
White Pine Compound. 1t is very
rich in guaiacol and other elements
which make the ozone of the pine
forests such splendid medicine for
throat and lung troubles. There
are many pine oil preparations, but
none of these compare with the
real Pinex itself. If your druggist
does not happen to have it, he will
be glad to get it for you. The 23s
ounces cost you fifty cents. The
syrup costs you about four cents.
So you can make a whole pint of
this effective Cough Syrup for
about flfty-four cents.

SENSATION At ALTOONA.
Resignation Of Postmaster Gustavus F.
Peck, Very Unexpected.

Special to Times Republican.
Algona, Dec. 15.-Somewhat of q
sensation was sprung here yesterday
when Postmaster Gustavus F. Peek an
nounced that he had forwarded his
resignation to Washington to take eff
feet Immediately. There was no In
timation up to then that Mr.. Peek ex-
pected not to serve out his term o,
seek a reeppointment. So unexpected
was his action that there are no can
didatesN in the field for the place.
1t is probable that the appointment
to the place will be made at once
There was talk last night that this
resignation is part of the alleged
scheme for all postmasters to resign
and give the appointment Of new men
to the retiring congressman. j. P
Conner. instead Of the incoming con-
gresham, Frank p. Woods, who de-
feated Conner In the primaries for the
republican nomination.
Mr. Peek says that his resignation
is not part of any scheme. He has
lust sold his interest in the abstract
business of Haggard & Peek and he
will leave for the Pacific coast as soon
as he can get away. He will go first to
Portland. Ore. and later find a loca-
ton somewhere in that section.

to have been dependency over bust

recently traded property here for
property at Hawkeye. and intended re-
moving to that place. Mr. Pratt had
been in business here for several years.
He was a trader of almost anything,
