Moral Marionettes.

X AS I have no space left for deallns
with the acting proper, let me add
q word as to a theory which has been
advanced concerning the origin of the
Japanese chorus. 1t is said that IN
early days the morals of the dramatic
profession became so deplorable that
it was suppressed, and marionettes
of irreproachable morals, We're sun
stituted for living performers. The
chorus, then, was simply the expiana
tory text accompanying the puppes
show, and it retained its place even
when performances by living actors
were revived. | doubt whether tins
theory will bear investigation. It
seems to be certain. however, that the
theatre has been considerably iniiu-
enced by the puppet show, a surviving
example of Which | hope to see at
Osaka. Fundamentally. | fancy, the
the chorus represents the chanted
semi Iturgical narrative from which
the drama sprang. the process OF diff
ferentiation being observable to this
day in the No" performances. Will

The Political CauldrOn

Old voters can recall many years of wrathful politics. but not since 1884 has the national political situation been so ex- land and Blaine were opposing nominees there was no end of mudslinging. MT. Blaine and MT. Cleveland each conducted himself with serenity and dignity, but their partisans were unusually vicious and some of them indulged in unpardonable personalities.
 Tn this year of our Lord, President Taft and ex-President Roosevelt are making the fur fly and the contest will get hotter as it proceeds. The republicans never have been as much split as now and it will be worse before the Chicago con the partisans of my old friend Woodrow Wilson are indulging now in some vili- fication and are resorting to undernand methods. The other candidates for the democratic nomination seem to be in the hands of well disposed democrats who are working only on a high plane.
 The democratic party as party is more harmonious than it has been in many years and it will continue so until after the election in November In the mean time rival candidates will be very busy, and their more ardent supporters will keep themselves worked up to fever heat until after the convention has adjourned
 It looks now more than ever as if Oscar w. Underwood would head the democratic ticket and be the next President.

The Best Cough Jyrup Is Easily Made at Home Costs Little and Acts Quickly. Money Refunded If 1t Fails.

This recipe makes pint of cough syrup, and saves you about $2.O0 as com pared with ordinary cough remedies. It stops obstinate coughs-even whooping cough-in Q hurry, and is splendid for sore lungs, asthma, croup, hoarseness and other throat troubles.
 Mix one pint of granulated sugar with F. pint of warm water, and stir for 2 minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty cents worth) in pint bottle, and add the Sugar Syrup. Take teaspoonful every one, two or three hours. Tastes good.
 This takes right hold of cough and gives almost instant relief. It stimu- 1ates the appetite, and is slightly laxa- tive-both excellent features.
 Pinex, as perhaps you know, is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, rich in guaiacol and the other natural healing pine clements.
 No other preparation will do the work of Pinex in this recipe, although strained honey can be used instead of the sugar syrup, if desired States and Canada now use this Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe. This plan has often been initiated, but the old success ful formula has never been equaled. It's low cost and quick results have made it immensely popular.
 A guaranty of absolute satisfaction. or money promptly refunded, goes with this recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will. get it for you: If not, send to The Pinex O.. N. Wayne, Ind.

advance in our school facilities in 1913. Some of the communities that were inde- pendent municipalities prior to 19l0, nave comparatively new school houses, but they We're cheaply built and are anything but adequate to present needs. Two or three new school buildings should be erected m the East La<e-W oodlawn section and TWO or three west of the old city limits. The new Ensley High school will supply pressing requirement. There should be a large high school building between Nood- lawn and East Lake and great cen tral high school on the south side of Bir- mingham. When such buildings are erect ed. Birmingham will have four high schools, just what it needs, the present edifce serving of course the northern side and North Birmingham. The south side building should be not only large and modern in all it's appointments, but 1T should be a very handsome building-a building that would do credit to city of 500,000 population A bond issue of sl.0e.- GOO to provide for outlying districts as well as the central part of the city would be approved by the voters doubtless by an overwhelming majority. At least one-half of the s1.Oo0ooo appropriated should be distributed for school building purposes in various sections of greater BirminS- ham.
