How to Nip a Cold or
Cough in the Bud

TO let cold or cough wear itself
out is both needless and dangerous
Ii you will take five minutes and make
up the simple remedy described below.
you can wipe out cold or cough as
soon as it appears. Even deep seated
coughs yield to it very quickly. A
whole pint of it costs only 81 cents, but
there is no better remedy at any price.
Take a pint of granulated sugar. add
hdlf pint OF warm water and stir for
two minutes. Put two and a half
ounces of PineX in a pint bottle and
NIL up with the sugar syrup. This keeps
perfectly and lasts a family a long
time. Take spoonful every one, two
or three hours. The taste is pleasing
Use the ingredients as given here
Granulated sugar makes the best syrup
None of the weaker pine preparations
will take the place of the real PineX
itself, which is the most valuable con-
centrated compound of Norway White
Pine Extract Your druggist has il or
can easily order IL for YOU.
This mixture is also excellent for
whOOping cough, bronchitis, chest
pains, etc.
Strained honey can be used instead
of the syrup. and makes a very fine
honey and pine tar cough syrup.

LEAGUE TO NAME TICKET

That the executive committee of the
Lincoln Roosevelt league may complete
it's ticket @day is the hope of the men
charged with the prosecution of the
leagues campaign. They have no as
surance, though, that the ticket will be
completed. Judge Lennon of Marin
county appears to have an edge on the
Endorsement for Justice Cooper's place
on the district appellate bench. No
leaguers have come forward for in
dorsement for clerk of the supreme
court or railroad commissioner in the
second district. Clerk Caughey and
Commissioner Loveland have strong
friends in the league and Loveland S
friends have been especially active
There is more than an even chance that
both Caughey and Loveland will secure
the leagues formal approval and sup
mort.
