How to Save So On Cough Medi-
cine by Making 1t at Home

Cough medicines. as rule. are
mostly syrup. To make the best
syrup. take a pint of GRADUATED
Sugar. add y pint warm water, and
stir about minutes
Get two and one-half ounces of
Pinex CSC cents worth). put 1t in a
clean pint bottle, and fill up with the
Granulated Sugar syrup. This makes
a full pint of unequaled cough syrup,
for about Sd cents. Keeps perfectly.
You couldn't buy as much ready
made cough syrup for $3.50.
This homemade remedy is pleasant
to take. and usually stops even the
most obstinate cough in twenty-four
hours. 1t is splendid. also. for colds,
whooping cough, bronchial ailments,
etc. Take a teaspoonful every one,
two or three hours.
The sugar syrup is an excellent sed-
alive. The Pinex Is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway
White Pine Extract, rich in all the
healing elements of Norwegian pine.
Be sure to use the real Pinex itself.
Your druggist has it or can easily get
it for you.
Strained honey can be used instead
of the syrup, and makes a very fine
honey and pine tar cough syrup.

FISHES DREW BOAT
ANGLER DECLARES
Launch Enmeshed in Kelp on the
Ocean lowed to Clear Water
with Assistance of Fright
ened Bass

Tales have been told of fishing ex-
periences in and around Los Angeles,
but the story which Harry Myrick tells
of how a crippled launch was brought
safely to shore by fifty-four sheepnose
and fifty-four seabass is entitled to a
place in the archives.
Myrick returned from his fishing eX-
petition yesterday. He was accom-
panied on the trip by Mrs. Myrick,
Frank and Mrs. Richard. They char
tered a launch and went out into the
Pacific to angle for fish. They are both
expert fishermen, and the women are
likewise clever when it comes to follow
ing the art which Izaak Walton adored.
They went outside of the usual
bounds for fishermen in small boats in
order to get sea bass. Knowing that
the bass make a playground of the kelp
beds they headed for one of these
spots. Myrick, who has been in the
publishing business for a number Of
years, gives a truthful account of the
experience Of the party.
Halted in the KeIp
1--WE knew when we struck the kelp
because our wheel or propeller stopped"
he said 1--WE were up against it. Try
as we did the launch could not get
through. The kelp had halted us. We
fished, nevertheless, and caught fifty
-FOUR SneepSIlOS0 anu IlIIy-IOuf sea DdSS,
all of them strong fellows but not on
the best of terms, as we knew. When
we got ready to move landward we dis
covered that our engine would not
work. Then we were up against it.
Our ingenuity was exhausted and our
inventiveness was put to the test, but
to no avail The boat was being tossed
about on the waves and we were about
three miles from dry spot. 1t was up
to us to get back to shore.
"An idea occurred to me. knew that
a speepsnose and a sea bass were not
friendly In fact knew that speeps-
nose never missed an opportunity Of
swallowing a bass if the size of the
bass made it a safe venture. The
sheepsnose has teeth and can bite kelp
like a long-horn steer nips alfalfa. l
put the sheepsnose and sea bass on q
string, putting the big bass at the
front. I arranged them so that n
sheepsnose was Immediately behind a
sea bass. With this 10S fish, the sea
bass trying to get away from the
sheepsnose and the sheepsnose cutting
the kelp with their teeth we were able
to get to shore. We would have been
rolling on the bosom of the deep Yet
but for the fish, who towed us into
port"

Results of the Analysis
DR.. Il. B. Stookey, one of the ex-
anining chemists employed by the dis
trict attorneys office to analyze the
contents of Mrs. Benefits internal Or
gans, was the first witness IN the att
ernoon. The stomach, large ana small
intestines and the greater portloh OIL
tbe liver. he said, were removed
nIaced in glass jars and taken to his
laboratory in the Auditorium building
where the analysis, occupying seven
days. was made by him and DR.. Jullus

1--WE found three poisons, formalde-
hyde. arsenic and strychnine, replled
the witness. 4,4,, %

fair quantity in the fluid in the peril
tonital cavity and trace in the liver
"Did YOU find in your investigation
any evidence of ptomaine poisonY
mo. absolutely nome" responded DR..
Stookey positively.
DR.. Stookey described the outward
effects of strychnine before death, stat
ing there is no action until the poison
reaches the central nervous system. AS
soon as that occurs, he said, the first
symptoms are uneasiness; second, a
feeling of cramps in the neck and legs,
and third, a tendency to respond to
pronounced jerks and sounds Where a
large quantity is administered, he said,
a very slight sound will cause conNul-
sions. and that in So per cent of the
cases vomiting does not occur.

that he or she was the best, but don't
dispute with anyone else who makes
a different choice, for they were all
so good at the concert last night that
it is a close uestion to decide. The
exquisite piano playing of Nine. Ely,
whose accompaniment were such that
one would almost forget the superb
'cello playing of Mr. Herbert Withers
to listen to her magic, pleased every
one. Charles Bennett in Handles 20
Ruddier Than the Cherry" rendered
delightfully."- one of the most difficult
compositions. Madame Sobr.no en-
chanted with her superb voice and
probably reaching her climax of the
evening in Chopin's Love Me- Mr..
Herbert Withers brought out every
low, rich and full tone of the cello in

1t was interesting to note that
though the concert was the second in
the series, the attendance was excel
lent. Honolulu is showing its appre-
citation of good music as it should.
