was aware she supported herself by her
own exertions. The divorce was then

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY
How To Save 81 On Cough
Medicine by Making 1t at Home

Cough medicines, as a rule, are most
~ syrup. To make the best syrup. take
a pint of granulated sugar, add half a
pint OF warm water, and stir about 2
minutes.
Get two and one-half ounces of Pinex
$50 cents worth), put it in a clean pint
bottle and fill up. with the granulated
sugar syrup. This makes full pint
of unequaled cough syrup for about "a
cents Keeps perfectly. You couldn't
buy as much ready made cough syrup
for $3.50.
This home made remedy is pleasant
to take, and usually stops even the
most obstinate cough in "a hours. II
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 seda :
tive. 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 fne
honey and pine tar cough syrup.

SUPREME COURT IS
B[NSON'S 'SLAST HOPE
Loses in Habeas Corpus Pro-
ceedings Before Judge Van
Fleet and Will Appeal
Argues Dismissal of the Case
Against Co-conspirator Per-
rim Should Free Him, Too

John A. Benson, convicted OF land
frauds and now in the Alameda county
jail. failed to obtain his release in ha-
beas corpus proceedings yesterday be-
fore Judge Van Fleet of the United
C. Campbell, will appeal to the United
States supreme court Benson will
remain in Jail pending a decision.
The basis of CampbelIs argument
was the unequal measure of justice as
the case now stands. Benson was
jointly .TIuIeted with DR.. E. B. Perrin
for Conspiracy. and the two were con-
victed. Appeals were taken separately,
and in Perrin's case the Indictment was
thrown out on a technicality. Then
Attorney General Wfckersham ordered
the dismissal of the remaining indict-
ments in SO far as they affected Perrin
These Indictments said Campbell,
covered the only cases that did not
come. under the statute of limita-
tions, thus all prosecution ceases as to
Perrin"
With Perrin eliminated the charge of
conspiracy must also fall against Ben
son since it takes two to make con-
spiracy, he argued.
United States Attorney r. T. Devlin
said in reply that what happened to
Perrin in no way concerned Benson.
Inc same pOlHtS pItScHtCu III iidoOoS
corpus had been previously disposed
of when a rehearing was denied by
the court of appeals. Deylin agued
further that the dismissal of Perrin
was not an acquittal, which would have
operated to free Benson.
In denying Benson's petition Judge
Van Fleet said:
.These proceedings for release are
limited TO an examination of the judg-
ment and we can not go behind that
Judgment, which carries on its face the
evidence of its validity. 1t was given
by court of superior jurisdiction and
can not be questioned"

BRITISH ARE CALLED
NATION OF READERS

Speaking of the reading propensities
OF the British people the German Ex-
change says. The public libraries are
never empty; in fact. the Briton reads
everywhere-not only at home and at
the club. but also in the underground,
the bus the tram and the steamer. His
first action as soon as he sits down any
where consists in pulling out some
thing to read And the natural result
follows-not in vain are the Britishs the
first literary people of the world, for
they cultivate and foster in all condi-
tions of life the strongest literary in
terests. With them alone is reading a
necessary of life, like eating and drink

MINUTES OF HOUSE OF COMMONS

Some light is thrown on the pro-
cedure to be adopted when 1t is desired
to amend a record in the minutes of
the house of commons question
which arose recently in connection
with the case of VIII Thorne-by what
happened when the representation of
the people bill was read the third time
on June 26. 1884, says the Westminster
Gazette. On the motion of Gladstone
it was recorded on the minutes that
the bill has passed the third reading
nemine contradieente. However, the
next day. after questions, the correct
ness of the entry was challenged by
two conservative members, who stated
that they cried No when the speaker.
having put the motion for the third
reading, declared the ayes" had it.
Thereupon Sir Stafford Northcote who
led the opposition. moved that the min
utes be amended by expunging the
words ''nemine contradicente" and
after debate the motion was defeated
by 125 votes to 80.
