Something New for
Coughs.
Make II Yourself.

Until the discovery Of the Won
derful new drug product, Mentho-
Laxene, everybody had to rely on
ordinary cough mixtures, usually
composed of morphine, opium, and
the like, but now the most effec-
tive and popular cough syrup is
made at home with essence men
tho-laxene. Here is the formula:
Granulated sugar syrup. 1917 ozs.
Essence mentho-iaxene Il Ozs.
Buy Of your druggist, or have
MIN order it from the wholesaler,
two and one half ounces of es-
sence mentho-laxeue; empty 1t
into a pint bottle and fill up the
bottle with graduated sugar syr-
up. use a pint of sugar and half
pint of boiling water: stir it, let
cool and mix it with the mentho-
laXene.
This makes a fine curative lax
alive cough syrup superior to
anything you can buy at four
times the price. Take in teaspoon
full doses = to 10 times daily II

hour. and Is fine for old people
and for children. for they like 10

Charles X. Mayer Buys Another
Linotype for Composing Room.

During the past year the linotype
composition business of Charles X.
Mayer, second floor Free Press
building, has increased TO such an
extent that he was compelled to add
third machine to his equipment
in order to take care of the increas-
ing demand on the plant.
This machine is now en- route
from the factory of the Mergen-
thaler Linotype company, New York,
and will arrive within the next week
or ten days. 1t is the very latest
thing in composing machines, and
with equipment costs about $4,000.
Mr.. Mayer is now employing ten
people, is running his plant twenty
four hours day, in three shifts,
seven days a week and has not been
able to keep up with the work. Ee
hopes the increased equipment will
relieve the tension under which the
plant has worked for several
months.
Besides doing work for the print
ers of Mankato, the product of this
plant is being sent to all parts of
Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and
South Dakota and Iowa. Mr. Mayors
reputation as linotypist is well
known.
