HoLO TO Make
Better Cough Syrup than
You Can Buy
A Family Supply, Saving 81 and
Fully Guaranteed.

A full pint of cough syrup-as much
as you could buy for $2.50-can easily
be made at home. You will find nothing
that takes hold of an obstinate cough
more quickly, usually ending it inside
of. "a hours. Excellent, too, for whoop-
ing cough, sore lungs, asthma, hoarse-
ness and other throat troubles.
Mix L pint of graduated sugar with
y pint of warm water and stir for z
minutes. Put 21k ounces of Pinex Go
cents WORTHY in pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonfu1 every one, two or
three hours.
This is just laxative enough to help
cure a cough. Also stimulates the appe-
tite, which is usually upset by cough.
The taste is pleasant.
The effect OF pine and sugar syrup on
the inf1amed membranes is well known:
Pinex is the most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway white pine ex-
tract, rich in guiaico1 and all the nat
ural healing pine elements. Other prep
Rrations will not work in this formula.
The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is
now used by thousands of housewives
throughout the United States and Can
ada. The plan has been initiated, but
the old successful formula has never
been equaled.
A guarantees of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded goes with
this recipe. Your druggist has Pfnex.
or will get it for you. If not, send to

Senatorial Repartee.

Once in the senate chamber John J. Ingalls, was directing some remarks to Senator Hoar of Massachusetts. The other senator from that state. Mir. Dawes, having come in while Mir. h. gals was speaking thought the words were meant for his ear. and so, inter- rupung, he asked Ingalls, if he was di- recting the remarks at him. The Kan sas senator turned slowly around, for Mir. Dawes sat behind him. and then, with delicious intonation. but an in- Stnnt wit. he said, "I was directing my remarks to the successor of Charles Sumner and not to the successor of Daniel Webster"
 The repartee has become traditional, and the utterance was at once placed alongside of that reply of COnkling to Senator Thurman, which is also traditional in the senate chamber.
 Conkllng was speaking, and Thur man had said, iutcrrupting him, Does the senator aim his remarks at me; he constantly turns 10 me-" when M-.

1t ls Called a "Misstrike" and Is Very
 Seldom Seen.

 He handed out a cent piece with the die impression half of the face of the coin and with q big half moon of blank metal showing along one side.
 "They call 1t misstrike," he con- tinued. Perhaps once in 10,0O0,000 times the two little notched fingers on the mlntIng machines that grip the blank disk and draw it forward to the die fail to spring away. In thls case the left hand finger stuck and pushed the coin halfway over the die. That is how the impression Is only half on the disk.
 You can see the raised edge on the blank portion of the metal" the cash fer went on as he took up his pen. Tt isn't everybody knows that each coin goes under the dies twice. The first time 1t is struck with blank, dome shaped set of dies to put an edge on the disk. Then 1t gets the regular die with the familiar head on 1t.
