The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Cure
Easily and ChenpIy Made at
Home. Saves You 81.

This recipe makes a pint of cough
syrup-enOugh to last q family a long
time. You couldn't buy as much or as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost instant
relief and usually stops the most obsti-
nate cough in "A hours. This is partly
due to the fact that it is slightly laxa-
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. 1t is pleasant to
take-children like it. An excellent REM
edy, too, for whooping cough, Group, sore
lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
y pint OF warm water, and stir for
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one of the Oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. PineX is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
all the other natural healing elements.
Other preparations will not work in this
formula.
The prompt results from this recipe
have endeared it to thousands of house
wives in the United States and Canada,
which explains why the plan has been
initiated often, but never successfully.
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 Co., Fl. Wayne, Ind.

THE RAILROAD MIDDLE.
Congressional Action Planned on New
Haven and Grand Trunk Case.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Although no
report from the House rules commit
tee on the O'Shaunessy resolution for
a Congressional investigation of the
alleged traffic deal between the New
York. New Haven & Hartford and
Grand Trunk Railroads, may be ex-
pected for several days, Chairman
Henry's committee, today, began
study of the testimony and will soon
begin conferences to frame its deci-
sion.
The question of the committee to
decide is whether sufficient need of
a congressional investigation has been
shown to warrant a special rule for
expeditions consideration of the
OShaunessy resolution. There is some
inclination among rules committee
members to favor an investigation by
a sub committee of the House COM
merce committee. Some members feel
this committee would do the work
better than a select committee.
Even though the rules committee
were not to report a rule for consid-

Washington. Dec. 12.-The country S
cotton crop, this year. will amount to
6,612, $50 900 pounds of lint. exclusive
of linters. the department of agrieul-
ture estimated, today, in its annual
report This is equivalent to 13,S20,000
bales of 500 pounds, gross weight, and
makes the crop, this year, in point of
quantity second only to the great rec
ord crop of 1852, 7O1 bales, exclusive
of linters. grown, last year. 1t is prob
allie this years crop may rank as the
most valuable eve produced.
The quantity of Inter cotton, last
year, amounted to 27s.790,000 pounds
With this as basis, 1t is estimated
that Inter cotton produc-
ton, this year, will amount to 49l, 300
bales or 235, 0SS, 900 pounds. making the
entire crop. including linters, approx
imately 14,311 300 bales of 500 pounds,

With an average price of II IL

would be worth about 1856, 100000 and
with the estimated value of this years
