How TO Save Sc on Cough Med
ioins by Making it at
Home.

Cough medicines, as rule, are most
ly syrup. You can take d pint of gran
ulated sugar, add half cup of water, stir
and let boil Just moment. This makes
"a pint of syrup as good as YOU could
buy.
Get 21s ounces of Pinex, put in a
clean pint bottle and fill up with the
graduated sugar syrup. The granu-
lated sugar costs, say, cents, and the
Pinex SO cents. The recipe makes a
full pint of excellent cough syrup,
which keeps Indefinitely, at a cost of
about 81 cents. You couldn't buy as
much ready made cough syrup for
$3.50. This shows a clear saving of
about 81.
This home made remedy will stop an
obstinate, deep seated cough quickly
usually in~24 hours. 1t Isl also splendid
for colds, whooping cough, pains in the
chest, bronchial troubles and similar
ailments. Dose, one teaspoonful every
one, two or three hours as required.
The taste is very pleasant
The effectiveness of this remedy is
easily understood. The syrup is an ex-
cellent sedative. The Pinex is the most
valuable concentrated compound Of
Norway White Pine Extract. and con-
tains all the natural elements which
make the aid of the pine forests so eff
fectiye in curing tuberculosis. There
are many pine tar and pine oil prepara-
tions, but in making cough syrup on
this recipe be sure to Use the real
Pinex itself. Your. druggist has it, or
will gladly get it for you.

Refuses to Talk as He Leaves
Minneapolis for Colorado
PRISONER HEAVILY sHAcKLED
Sheriff and Three Deputies Take sher-
cliffe to Colorado With Hands and
Feet in lrons-Take No Chances on
Repetition of Escape From the
Train.
Special to Times-Repnblican.

Minneapolis. Feb. 1S.--Loaded down
With shackles of many descriptions,
Sherman w. Norris, alias Frank Sher-
cliffe, left the Hennepin county Jail
at 1880 o'clock last night in the Gus
tody of Sheriff J. w. Dyer. Of Lake
county, Colorado, and is now on his
way to Leadville, where he will have
to begin sentence for murdef, UNI
less he is granted another trial.
The prisoner seemed far from cheer
full when he left+his snug quarters in
Nels Clausen's retreat on the fifth floor
of the courthouse. The irons appeared
to gail him. Besides handouts, leg
iron with chain and heavy BAH was
attached to his right ankle. He refused
to talk and only grunted in a savage
manner as the weight impeded his
progress down the corridor.
Sheriff Dwyer was determined to
take no chances. "My good friend
Shercliffe will have no chance to play
the trick on me that he did when he
made his escape from train last fall"
he said. "At that time he jumped
thru window when the train was go
ing thirty miles an hour. I've engaged
a special compartment for my prisoner
and I shall not take my eyes off him
until we arrive safely in Leadville."
I The crime for which Shercliffe is
wanted in Colorado was committed in
Leadville fifteen years ago. He was
found guilty of murder in the second
degree last summer and sentenced to
an indeterminate term of twenty TO
twenty five years in the state peni-
Tertiary.
He was arrested in the south some
time ago on a charge of holding up
and robbing passengers on Northern
Pacific train at Northtown Junction.
April 49, 1908, and
brought to this city, where he stood
trial, but was acquitted. He was re-
arrested on similar charge, but when
he appeared in court yesterday, the
attorney moved to dismiss the
charge so that he could be taken to
Colorado at once.
