charm. Moreover. the atmosphere of
THE Old Homestead" at once so
peaceful and so bracing, together with
the genuine touch of nature, which
makes the whole world kin. serves to
enhance its every feature and TO bring
the audience into the closest relations
with both the player and the produc-

mothcrly solicitude for the absent son;

speaks Of Peter MacQueen's Widest
Africa which is to be heard in City

the most thrilling and interesting mar

fascinating account Of his recent ~
900 mile trip in the dark continent.
Among other interesting things il
says: The narrative takes much Of
its interest from DR.. MacQueen's abil-

Viewed by him, cities prosaic in their
associations take on an oriental CLAM

To Stop a Cough in
a Hurry.

With this recipe you can make
pint of cough remedy at home
in five minutes. A few doses
usually conquer the most obstinate
cough. Simple as it is. no better
remedy can be had at any price.
Put 2i2 or. of PineX tifty cents
WORTH in a clean pint bottle, and
fill up with Granulated Sugar Syrup.
made as follows: Take pint of
Granulated Sugar. add !. pint Of
warm water and stir for minutes.
Take teaspoonful every one. two
or three hours. The taste is very
pleasant-children take it willingly
Splendid, too. for colds. chest pains,
WhOoping cough bronchitis. etc.
Glanulated sugar makes the best
syrup. PineX, as YOU prohably
know is the most valuable concen-
trated compound of Norway White
Pine Extract. None of the weaker
pine preparations will take its
place. If your druggist hasn't the
real PineN. he can easily get it for
you.
Strained honey can BE- used instead
of the syrup, and makes very fine
honey and pine tar cough syrup.
