How to Make Better

for only 90 cents. Simple as II
is. there is nothing better at
any price. It usually stops a
deep-seated cough in "a hours
and is a splendid household
remedy for whooping cough,
colds, hoarseness, bronchitis,
etc.
Take a pint of granulated
sugar, add one-half pint warm
water and stir about two min
utes. Put 2h ounces Pinex
in a pint bottle and I'LL mp with
syrup. Take a teaspoonful ev-
cry one, two or three hours.
It keeps perfectly and the taste
Is pleasing.
The chemical elements of
pine which are very healing to
membranes, are obtained in
high proportion in Pinex, the
most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway white
pine extract. None OF the
weaker pine preparations will
work with this recipe. Your
druggist has Pinex or can cas-
fly get IL for you.
Strained honey can be used
instead Of the syrup, and makes

somewhat OF poetic justice in that
situation The Munsey.
(By James A. Tawney

There are three leading reasons
why the republican party should re
ain control Of the house of represen-
tatives and of the federal govern
ment.
First the legislative recoro of the
party-the fu'l record OF its half cen
tury of existence, the record of the
past seven congresses since 1t resum-
ed power on March 4, 1897, and the
record OF the extra and first regular
session of the present congress-all
this is conclusive proof of its wisdom,
its constructive ability, and its unsel-
fish devotion to the best Interests of
the people and their government
The second reason is because, in
response TO a demand OF the people,
the republican party pledged revision
of the tariff, and kept its pledge, OBJ
serving not only the letter but also
the spirit of the declaration. Whi e
we ulu HoI NNpieSSiS f'Nii0S ~''SiO'
downward, yet it was so understood
by the people, and what the peop'e
expected they gained in full measure
at the special session of congress
called by President Taft.
The third reason IS because the
people should indorse the administra-
tion of President Taft by giving him
substantial republican majority in
the next house, TO work with the re-
publican senate in making complete
the fulfilment OF republican pledges,
and in carrying out to the full the
recommendations Of the president.

very BRIEF summary OF the womans move
ment In England. Here is a paragraph
from Miss Pankhursts summary:
Having dealt with the early history of
the woman suffrage movement, the author
comes down TO modern times, and gives the
reader an intimate insight ihto the pictur-
esque agitation OF the suffragettes. An ao-
count is given OF the events which led up
TO the first militant outbreak and the man
ner of its organization. The various mill
tant demonstrations are wildly described,
and the aim OF the author is always to let
the reader see what was going on behind
the scenes in order that the motives OF
those who have engineered the movement
may be thoroughly understood In the
course OF the story the protests at Cabinet
Ministers meetings, visits TO their houses
and receptions when they were present, the
populations and the bye-election policy are
explained. The writer Is able TO give des-
criptions OF the treatment OF the suffrag-
getts prisoners from her own experience.
The hunger strike Is also dealt with, and
the reason for H. and its effect upon the
women who were forcibly fed is carefully
described. An account is given Of the va
Hous police court trials of the suffragettes
including the one at Bow street, which con
talns a full account OF Miss Christabsl
Pankhursts brilliant cross-examination OF
the cabinet ministers"
