How to Save So on Cough
Medicine by Making IL at Home

Cough medicines, as n rule. are
mostly syrup To make the best syr-
up, take a pint of graduated sugar.
add one-half pint warm water, and
stir about two minutes.
Get two and one-half ounces of
Pinex ESQ cents WORTH put it in a
clean pint bottle, and fill up with
the graduated sugar syrup. This
makes a full pint of unequaIed
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 pleas
ant to take. and usually stops even
the most obstinate cough in "a hours
1t is splendid. also. for colds. whoop-
ing cough, bronchial ailments, etc.
Take a teaspoonful every one. two
or three hours.
The sugar syrup is an excellent
sedative. The Pinex is the most val
liable concentrated compound of Nor
way white pine extract, rich in ali
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.

SIDE LIGHTS ON M'LAURlN.
MlsoissiPPI ssnater Was One OF the
ssnato's Most Popular Men.

S0nafOe moef PoHHikF men,
Senator Anselm Joseph McLaurin,
who recently died at his home in Bran.
don. Miss, was one Of the most pop
ular men in the United States senate.
His Republican associates had as high
regard for him as his Democratic col
leagues had. His good humor was
constant, and his executive session sto-
ries were a cause of great joy to those
who served with him in the senate.
Senator McLaurin was born March
%, 1S4S, at Brandon, Miss, which was
his legal residence up to the time Of
his death. When less than a year old
he was taken by his parents TO Smith
county, Miss, where he lived on a
farm and attended school occasionally.
At the age of sixteen years he joined
the Confederate army and served
throughout the late unpleasantness as
a private. After the war he managed
to take an educational course OF two
years at Summerville institute.
He began to practice law in 1865,
was elected district attorney in 1871,
went "a the Legislature in 1879 and
became governor of Mississippi in 1855.
In 1900. the year after his term as
governor expired, he was elected to
the United States senate and began
his service on March 4, 1901. He was
elected for another term of six years
IN 1907.
Senator McLaurin was married to
Miss Laura Rauch on Washington's
birthday, in 1870. Ten children were
born to them, of whom seven are liv-
ing.
In one executive session of the SEN
ate when the nomination of DR.. Crum.

Charleston, s. G, was under consid-
Grafton, Senator McLaurin entertained
his colleagues with negro stories, which
were received with much laughter. To
illustrate n contention that the negro
was treated better in the south than
in the north Mr.. McLaurin told Of the
experience Of a Mississippi negro who
sold his farm and went to Kansas.
where he was assured OF prosperity.
Kansas proved a failure, however
and after losing nearly all his money
the negro started back for Mississippi
He had no trouble in obtaining food
and lodging on the way as long as he
paid for them, but when his money

Mr.. McLaurin was one of the most
industrious members of the senate. He
was a member of eleven committees
and attended to his duties ON all Of
them.
