SOLDIERS C|NCH
MAY Be ENDED

One of the many problems that will
arise until the new constitution has
been fully interpreted by the courts
has come up in consideration OF the
case OF l.. Meyer, discharged from the
park department a short time ago
Meyer claims that he should not have
been discharged, except for cause. on
account of being war veteran. 1t Is
now a question as to whether this law
is abrogated by section OF the con
stitution which reads:
All political power is inherent in
the people. Government Is insti-
tuted for their equal benefit, Sc
curity and protection.
II is argued that law which gives
privileges TO old soldiers which are
not accorded TO others. Is In contra
vention OF this section. Corporation
Counsel Hally has the matter under
consideration now.

elm Excellent Recipe for
Obstinate Coughs.

An obstinate cough Is about as dis
agreeable an ailment as person could
have. and has many dangerous fea-
lures. The battle with such an ag-
gravation can be won within few
hours by utilizing the simple home
recipe given below.
Granulated Sugar Syrup 49,. IL IL or
Pinex NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. ? IL OF.
Take a pint OF Granulated Sugar.
add one-half cup water. stir and let
boil just moment. Put the IL o.
OF Pnex in pint bottle and fill IL up
with the Syrup. Shake well and take
teaspoonful every one, two or three
hours. Well corked. II keeps perfectly.
The Granulated Sugar used will cost
you about cents and the Pinex so
cents. The recipe makes a full pint Of
cough syrup, enough to last long
time. The same amount OF ready
cough syrup would cost you about
$3.50
II Is not hard to understand the ef-
fectiveness of this simple remedy
when the curative qualities OF the in
gradients are explained. The Syrup
is an excellent sedative. Pinex Is the
most valuable concentrated compound
of Norway White Pine Extract, and
contains all the natural elements
which make the air of the pine for
ests so effective in curing membrane
diseases.
In making this remedy at home, do
not expect good results by using any
OF the weaker pine oils or pine tar
preparations Get the real Pinex itself.
II your druggist does not have 1t. he
will gladly get It for you IL you ask
him.

FIGHTS CLAIM.

That he made out false certificate

Dr. Charles +. Kuhn in an affidavit
filed Wednesday morning in the case
brought by the Woodmen of America,
who seek TO prevent Frank and Julia
Takubowski, OF No. TAI Farnsworth-

Kunn, he gives the cause or death as
acute anemia. He also says he had
attended Takubowski but "A few weeks
before he died, and that no other III
ness contributed to the young man

In the affidavit DIR. Kuhn admits
that he had treated Takubowski for
tuberculosis for two years before he
died, and knows the man died or tu'
berculosis of the intestines. lie
claims To have known that Takubow'
ski contracted tuberculosis in the
Philippines, where he served as a sol

upon him in Grace hospital for tuber-
culosis OF the elbow. He say the
certificate was made out In the home
OF deceased In the presence of his rel

by the undertaken and the relatives
to name some other disease as the
cause OF death, because IL the truth
were known they would be unable to

better judgment and on the spur OF

doctor says

policy which was void In case he died

Before these various food clements
can be used by the animal they must
go through process called digestion.
The first step in digestion consists in
taking the food into the mouth. Each
class Of animals has u different way
OF doing this. Watch the COWS feed

their long tongues and gather I'm n

In front The horse gathers In the
grass with his lips and bites IL or be-
tween his teeth. For this reason
horses can eat grass down much closer
TO the ground than cattle can.
After the food is taken into the
mouth ii is chewed and mixed with
saliva This saliva serves two pur-
poses-to molsten the food and To
change some OF the starch TO sugar
This change is brought about 10y the
action OF engines which the saliva
contains. These work in the same
way as do the engines in Il gcrmi-
mating seed, which prepare the food
for the little plant.
Sugar and starch, as we have learn
ed, are both composed of carbon. by

building up the various parts Of its
body. Since the food remains i'm the
mouth only n comparatively short
time, however, only small part of the
starch can be acted upon there. The
rest is changed later, as we shall see.
The main purpose of the saliva IS to
moisten the food This moistening. to-
gether with the chewing, reduces IL to
n moist finely divided mass, ready
to be swallowed and acted upon by
the other digestive juices.
While the essential processes of d.
gestion are the same for all animals.
