For quick and positive results, the
pint of cough syrup that you make at

not be equalled. 1t takes hold instantly
and will usually stop the most obstinate
deep-seated cough inside of "a hours.
Even Group and whooping-cough yield to
it quickly.
Get a 5O-cent bottle of Pinex and mix
it in pint bottle with home made sugar
syrup. To make the best sugar syrup,
mix a pint of graduated sugar with n
pint of warm water and stir for mir
utes. This is no trouble, and gives you
a full pint--a family supply-of better
cough remedy than you could buy ready
mixed for $3.50.
Pinex, used in this way, soothes and
heals the infamed membranes with re-
markable rapidity. 1t stimulates the ap.

PLEASURE IN SUBURBAN LIFE
Many Ways In Which II Can Be MAIDS
Superior TO Either the Rural
or Urban.

We should sharply distinguish be
tween suburban life and rural life, for
vast gap separates them, especially
for the gentler sex. Too often in
strictly rural life woman's time "a
wholly occupied in drudgery. to the
exclusion Of all social life. a consid-
cradle distance from nearest neigh
bors and their equally manifold duties
conspiring to prevent a supposed
waste OF time IN visiting"
While all this is changing for the
better, such conditions were never
true Of ordinary suburban life. Even
the farmers wife may now chat with
her friends and neighbors over the
telephone, and rural delivery places
her closely in touch with the worlds
movements and brings small articles
Of merchandise right TO her door
nearly as quickly as it Is delivered to
her city sisters. Suburban life con-
sists Of living in rather thickly settled
communities, generally without the
confines of municipalities, yet having,
usually, all the city's advantages Of
transportation, water service, tele
phones, gas, electricity, daily papers
delivered a few hours after puhlica-
ton. together with many valuable up
to-date conyeniences.
Every such community should have
a live improvement association, and
perhaps, in addition, an equally live
woman's club. Such clubs may pur-
chase magazines for either individual
or collective use at greatly reduced
rates. and would they but sufficiently
cooperate, all household commodities
at equally advantageous prices. Co
operation, zealously and honestly car
ried out, spells success for any organl.
zation or business enterprise.

QUALITIES OF STREET TREES
Some important Points to Be Con-
sidered Before the Road is
Laid Out.

It must be apparent to all that the
chief point Of value In street lies
In its general appearance, for If il
be not attractive the street were bet
ter bare, though there be but a few
trees having no ornamentiTe value
for street planting. Nevertheless. we
desire the most ornate, and this must
first be considered.
The next most important point is
its drought resistance. We may be
able to care for a tree much or all
OF the time, but We would be relieved
OF the possible danger arising from
long periods OF neglect. Those trees
which look best with least care and
water will prove the only ones gen.
orally useful. for while one will give
ample care, his neighbor viii give
none.
The next point must be cleanliness,
for If a tree be too dirty its litter
viii detract from the beauty and tidi-
ness Of the street sufficiently to offset
any attractive appearance of the tree
Itself.
Fourth on the list must CONS
amount of care, consideration close
~ allied to the last.
Next comes rapidity of growth. Not
until we are many centuries older will
We settle down to the philosophic
state of mind enjoyed by Europeans.
We wish tree TO make "a fair show
ing" in a year. not knowing that the
most rapid-growing trees are generally
the shortest-liyed. We should learn to
plant for posterity-foT generations tc
eome-as they do in all countries but
ours.
Sixth. and last, a tree should have
a good root system.

This famous treasure was lost when

Tnc earth In some mysterious way
spreads mantle of oblivion which
can not be pierced by the memory of
man and takes back to her bosom the
treasure that was wrested from her.
The other area Is in the east, be-
g1nnig at about Camden, N. J., and ex-
tending north to Albany and thence
to Portland. Maine. In that field lived
the rich Royalist and Tory families.
The sudden turning of the tide found
the Tories in possession OF a great
quantity OF gold coin. gold and silver
plate and jewels. and fearing they
would lose these, they buried them
and then fed. Comparatively little of
u was ever exhumed and the area is
dotted thickly with localities where a
search would be highly profitable. OF
them can mention few only.
At Sound Beach, Conn, lives Mrs
Jane Louden, 101 years of age. Her
husband, knowing that on the home
farm wealthy Tory family had buried
gold, hunted until he found several
pots containing several thousand dol
lars each. A neighbor also acquired
sudden wealth which he did not ex-
plain. Every one knew there was
great joint family cache somewhere
near.
1t was known for many years that
on Lord Edmeston's estate near West
Edmeston. N. Y, his personal repre-
sentative, Perdifer Carr, had buried a
treasure. The property known as the
Burdick Farm, having been bought by
Henry F. Burdick In 1850, was the
site. In 1904 tenant named Cheese
borough plowed into a case of china
and glass, breaking half of 1t before he
realized what the obstruction was. By
reason Of design and quality the re-
mainder, however, was worth a small
fortune to dealers in antiques. 1t was
the Edmeston ware. The law suit that
followed for possession made the case
famous. Where is the remainder of
the treasure?
Joel Cpryell, sexton at RomuIus, N.
Y, digging grave on what was a
Tory estate in 1875, found a large
quantity of money in an old pot. The
grave belonged to Thomas Mann, but
Coryell kept the gold.
