How TO Save e On Cough Med
cine by Making Il At Homo.


Cough medicines. as rule. arc most
ly syrup. To make the best syrup, take
pint of Granulated Sugar. add "
pint warm water, and stir about 2
minutes.
Get two and one-half ounces of Pinex
600 cents worth,) put 1t In clean pint
bottle, and fill up with the Graduated
Sugar Syrup. This makes a full pint
of uneaualed cough syrup for about 81
cents. Keeps perfectly. You couldn't
buy ms much ready-mad 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 taaspoonful every one, two
or three hours.
The Sugar Syrup is an excellent sed-
alive. The Plnex 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 1t or can easily get il for
you.
Strained honey can be used instead
of the syrup, and makes very fine

believe this can be accomplished with
out the concentrated and united efforts
of all who desire to see the city go
ahead. Proper advertising of what the
city has and its advantages should be
carried to as many people as possible,
SO as to locate and secure new enter
prlses before they are established 0se-
where. and the young men who can
not afford to buy stock can. and will,
gladly help pay the salary of a com
potent secretary who can locate such
enterprises. wnile the older and wealth
Ter men furnish such capital as is nee
essary. The banks of Marshalltown
have on deposit nearly 100000. We
have the wealth to do business with.
We should have an organization that
would see that this money is invested
in Marshalltown enterprises. We can
not secure factory after 1t is located
elsewhere
The men who did the big things for
Marshalltown twenty-five years ago
were young men then. The men who
must be depended upon to do the hard
work and optimistic hustling today are
where those men were twenty or TWEEN
ty-five years ago. The young man Is
never the conservative. but always the
radical and the optilnist. He does not
fear that his foot may slip and that
age may prevent him from gaining an
other foothold. Give him his chance
to expend his energy, and let the con-
sentative, successful man stand ready
with advice and counsel and the coin
to invest in a good thing for the In
weston and for Marshalltown.

there be formed In Marshalltown a

success.
Marshalltown has many advantages

To Keep the Hair
Light and Fluffy
(From Chicago Inter Ocean. J

(From Chicago Inter Ocean.)
The proper care OF the hair does not
require a woman to scour her scalp
with soap and drench her hair with
water until shampoo, including dry
ing the hair, takes the better part of
the day. In fact, authorities say that
the less soap and water used on the
hair the better, as the alkali and mois-
ture tend to make the hair coarse, dull
and brittle.
IL you want to keep the scalp clean
and the hair light and fluffy, try dry
shampooing. Put in quart jar, or any
other handy container, four ounces of
powdered orris root and four ounces of
therox. Stir and shake until thoroughly
mixed. A beautiful cleansing powder
with delicate perfume will be the re-
suit.
Sprinkle tablespoonful of this mix
ture on the head and then brush it well
thru the hair. This brings out the
natural color Of the hair. makes it soft
and glossy, and if continued regularly,
tends to make the hair long and abund-
ant, for it is a natural hair grower.

could be expected, her case Is very crit

the surgeons present were united in the
opinion that the woman could not have

outcome of the case.
