The Best Cough Syrup
Is Easily Made
at Home.

1t is not much trouble to make
the cough syrup suggested in
this recipe-any woman can pre-
pare it in five minutes. 1t does
the work quickly and is much
cheaper and better than the
cough and cold medicines you
buy.
Put d.. OF of Pinex in a pint
bottle, then fill up the bottle
with Granulated Sugar Syrup.
made as follows: Take one pint
of Granulated Sugar, add one
half cup of water. stir and let
boil just moment, Take tea
spoonful every one. two or
three hours, as required. The
taste is very pleasant. and if
kept we'll corked, it never spoils.
It is equally good for all men,
bers of the family, regardless of
age.
The results from this simple
home made article are surpris-
ingly prompt. Ii breaks up a
cold quickly and usually stops
a deep-seated cough in twenty
four hours.
In making this. however. do
not expect good results by using
any of the numerous pine oil or
pine tar preparations. None of
these compare with the real
Pinex itself which is the most
valuable concentrated COM
pound of Norway White Pine
Extract. All druggists have it
or can get it very easily on re-

The Pinex should cost about
fifty cents: GRADUATED Sugar.

Bedroom Ventilation.

1t goes without saying that the bed
room, according To Dr.. Woods Hutch
lnsOn in the American Magazine,
should be well ventilated, especially
In view of the heavy storing of oxygen
In the tissues which goes on during
sleep. All windows should be open
from the top, ut least one, and better
TWO or three inches, so that a gentle
current of air can be felt blowing
across the face. 1t is just as pure
and as wholesome as day air. Night
fOgs and rain are only injurious in
50 far rs they brighten you into shut
ting your windows. No air that ever
blew outdoors is so dangerous or
poisonous as that inside 4 bedroom
with closed windows. The clothing
should be as light rs consistent with
warmth, the mattress elastic but firm.
the pillows rs high rs the breadth of
the shoulders, 50 that it will keep the
neck and head horizontal or slightly
above when lying on the side. The
good hard common sense of humanity
has solved all these problems, and the
modern hair mattress or its equiva-
lent. single pillow and blankets, or
cheesecIoth-cOYered comforts" which
can be cleaned and iPrated by turning
the hose on it, can hardly be much
improved on. Beyond these there is no
virtue whatever in hard beds, fat or

rled out in velvet, plain or striped ana
trimmed with wide strappings of cloth,
to match the cloth of the skirt with
which they are worn.
Cloth and net is a favorite cOmbina-
ton for waists that are to be worn
with the tailor suit. The blouse is
usually of the net with bands Of chif-
fOn brOadclOth.
When the feathers on a hat have lost
their "curl" through dampness or wet
by rain, hold the hat, feathers down,
over a heated radiator or near stove,
and the curl will return quickly.
A dull gown may often be transfer
red by just a touch of a different color.
Thus bright yellow or dull pink will
often change the whole appearance of
a brown gown, while 4 little light blue
on purple has a charming effect.
Simplicity is the keynote of the
hour, and the only trimming permissi-
bic on these tailor-mades, besides the
braids and soutaches, which are al
ways in vogue, is the quaint embroid-
cry, some of Egyptian design and col
oring, which is seen in the waistcOat
or appears in the collar and cuffs.
The prettiest afternoon and evening
dresses seen this season are those of
mOusseline, trimmed with cloth. Band
ed at the bottom and trimmed lightly
at the corsage, the effect is lovely. If
lace be used, filet is the best, and it
should be dyed to match the others.
Such a gown is not perishable, and
may be worn by women of almost any
age. In black it is wonderfully strik-
ing.

Use your blouse pattern, cut the front
in one piece, cutting V in the front;
into this fit q dickey, face the V, put
on a sailor collar, run a drawstring
through, no button to sew on nor but
tonholes to make The blouse slips on
over the head and is tied will be suit
able for boy or girl, and will look neat.
In making buttOnholes, if the goods
is loose, as serge, broadcloth and for
velvet. place goods under presser foot.
Commence at the back point, run for
ward carefully to front point, turn,
take two stitches, turn, run along the
other side, turn, two stitches, turn, and
SO on, leaving space in the center for
cutting. Then buttonhole stitch as US
ual.
In making underwear for the small
folks out of old underclothes or other
old material it requires a great amount
Of time to work the buttOnhOles, and
the old material does not wear long.
To avoid this take a stout piece of
muslin four inches wide for bands.
This makes bands wide enough when
the buttOnholes are worked at the top
TO have plenty of cloth below to rip
from all old garment and place upon
new one. One pair of bands will out
wear three pairs of drawers thus made.

Health and Benuty Hints.

When a cut will not heal, saturate
a piece of absorbent cotton with coal
oil and bind on.
Certain kinds of toothache can be
relieved by painting the gums with!
solution of one-half glycerin and one
OF cloves.
A weak solution of salt water snuff
ed up the nostrils will often break a
cold that seems to have taken firm
grip on you.
Sprains should be treated as quickly
as possible with hot water after which
the part affected should be rubbed
with liniment.
Heat applied locally for neuralgia
pains is very soothing and effective.
1t is best to have hOt-water bag al
ways in the house.
If your feet get very cold when
you are out, instead of stamping them,
as is the usual way, rise on the toes
rs many times as you can.
BE extremely careful when the grip
is rampant, not to get the feet wet.
More colds are taken through the feet
and ankles than in any other way.
Physicians declare that women are
doing themselves serious injury in
their efforts to get thin. Exercise is
all right, but exercise so violent that
it leaves a woman tired out is not
to be advised, any more than is too
little food taken in the interest of
SiendeTneSS.

Identifying the Hall.

In some Of the American basement
houses the drawing-room stairway
makes graceful sweep up from the
first floor reception and dining-room
suites. Being so conspicuously visible
at all functions to the guests invited,
the side wall of this stairway, in one
instance, has been treated with a Sc
ries of Venetian mirrors Of various
shapes and dimensions, hung on the
wall after the fashion of pictures.
This had a wonderful effect in widen
ing the first floor space and in re-
peating all the details of furniture
placed in the lower suite of rooms,
from front door to dining-room in the

DRIFTS UNDER THE ICE.

Body of Horse Drowned at Fond du

Drifting beneath the thick covering &C
icc on Lake Winnebago for nearly two
weeks, the body of a horse which was
drowned off the foot of Main street in
Fond du Lac was found in Oshkosh,
about twenty miles away. The horse
belonged to the Peoples Ice Company of
Fond du Lac, and broke through the ice
about mile from the shore 4 large
force of men were engaged in harvesting
the ice for the summers supply, and a
road had been made between the field
which was being cut and the shore. One
of the transfers drove dangerously near
weak spot, and his team broke through
the ice. With the help of about two dozen
men who were working on the lake, one
of the horses was rescued, but the other
disappeared below the ice. Nothing more
was heard of it until word came from
Oshkosh that the dead body had been
found there, near the mouth of the Fox
river.

CALL COURTHOUSE PLAN PLOT.
Forest County Taxpayers AIege
Scheme by Mill Owners.

Forest County Taxpayers AIlege
scheme by Mill Owners.
The Forest county board was treated
to a surprise by a large delegation of tax
payers from different parts of the county
asking the resembling of the resolution to
build a court house at Crandon, to cost
$4,000, and be paid for by the issuance
of per cent bonds, running twenty
years, all payments of principal to be
deferred ten years. The objection to the
resolution is this deferred payment of
principal for so long a time, it being
looked upon as a scheme of the mill own
ers to skin the hardwood timber out of
the county, within the next ten years,
and thus escape all payment, except lit
tie interest money, on the bonds, leaving
the future settlers to pay the bulk of the
tax, when the county will be greatly i'm
povershed by loss of the timber. A mo-
ton to rescind the resolution was lost.
The taxpayers then organized for work
against the measure.
