of "a hours. Excellent, too, for whoop-
ing cough, sore lungs, asthma, hoarse-
ness and other throat troubles.
Mix l pint of granulated sugar with
" pint of warm water and stir for 2
minutes. Put " ounces of Pinex GO
cents WORTHY in pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one. two or
three hours.
This is just laxative enough to help
cure cough Also stimulates the appe-
tite. which is usually upset by a 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 guiaicol and all the nat
ural healing pine elements. Other prep
arations will not work in this formula.
The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is
now used by thousands of housewives

the old successful formula has never
been eQua1ed.

Catarrh is a disease OF the mucuous

When the catarrhal poison attacks

We honestly believe Rexall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders toward over

Chairman Hutton Expects to Heal
From All the Cites Interested by
Next Sunday

If Hot Springs proposes to take a
place in the new proposed league the
answer must be given by next satur-
day.
Chirman Hutton, who presided over
the meeting neld last week at Little
Rock, has requested all cities inter
ested to make known what they can
do, and give something of a guaran-
Zee, by next Saturday, when if the an
swers are satisfactory he will Issue a
call for a meeting of the league for
final organization.
Wilmington Park has not an
nounced as yet what will be done in
the matter Of furnishing a ball ground
for the local franchise in the event
Hot Springs goes in. and it has been
suggested that one more effort be
made through the press to get the en-
thusiasts into a meeting. at which
time some defnate action can be
taken regarding the situation here.
The question is, therefore, submit
ted to the fans here who believe that
Hot Springs should have baseball, not
alone for the benefit ef the resident
fans, but as a form of summer after
noon entertainment for the visitors.

A CROOKED BOUNDARY.
Cause Of the Peculiar Lines That d.
vide Two States.


IL you viii look on the map OF
New England you will see two Gu
rious irregularities in the dividing
line between Massachusetts, and
Connecticut one Of them is in
Granhy town hip. little north
west Of Hartford. and the other in
Enfield township. Oh the Connect
cut river, south Of 81 r.ngiield i.
is standing conundrun why. So
long as tho boundary is imaginary
they did not make it straight IL
stead Of crooked. But thereby
hangs a tale.
Those two little jogs on the map
are monuments TO human obstina0
and to the pcrsistency which is on,
of the CHIEF traits of the Yankee
character. The ancestors of IL
farmers who own those little spot
Of ground preferred to live in Mas
sachusetts rather than in Connect
cut and fought for their preference
until they had their way.
The controversy began in 1913
and continued for 1l2 years before
it was finally decided. In 1924 the
question was appealed TO England,
but the government was so much
engrossed in the Seven Years war
that it was never brought 10 tho at
tertion Of the crown. Up to the
outbreak Of the Revolution both
states continued To levy taxes and
send notices Of fast days and elec-
tions 10 the farmers who occupied
the land. and there is no record Of
how they avoided one or whether
they paid both. Later, however,
they voted and paid taxes in Massa-
chusetts only. notwithstanding the
protest OF the county authorities in
Connecticut. In 1893, after peace
was restored. both states appointed
commissioners, but the dispute was
carried on until 1904, when a CON-
promise was reached. There were
several similar disputes between the
two states besides those which now
appear upon. the map, and an agree
ment was reached by which Massa-
chusetts consented to surrender her
claim TO a strip of territory in
Woodstock and Suffield townships.
provided Connecticut would yield
her claims to the other tracts in
dispute. No action, however, was
taken upon the report.
In 1910 the controversy was re-
vived by some legal proceeding. and
another commission was appointed,
but if il ever reached a conclusion
there is no record 10 be found. In
1890 a third commission was in
trusted with the settlement, and
after two years they decided upon
the present boundary line, which
was adopted BY the legislature Of
both states.-Exchange.
