Cough Remedy
Costs Little, Hut Docs the Work
Quickly, or Money Refunded.

Mix one pint of graduated sugar with
y pint of warm water, and str for 3
minutes. Put 21a ounces OF Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. Take n teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours.
You will find that this simple REM
edy takes hold of cough more quickly
than anything else you ever used. Usu-
ally ends a deep seated cough inside
of "a hours. Splendid, too, for whoop-
ing cough, Group, chest pains, bronchi-
tbs and other throat troubles. 1t stim-
ulates the appetite and is slightly lax
alive, which helps end cough.
This recipe makes more and better
cough syrup than you could buy ready
made for $3.50. 1t keeps perfectly and
tastes pleasantly.
Pinex is the most valuable concen-
trated compound of Norway white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and all
the natural pine elements which are so
healing to the membranes. Other prep
arations will not work in this formula.
This plan of making cough syrup with
Pinex and sugar syrup Tor strained
honey has proven so popular through
out the United States and Canada that
1t is often initiated. But the old. sue
cessful formula has never been equaled.
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., TT. Wayne, Ind.

WONDERS OF BAALBEC.
A Building Problem That Has Puzzled
Modern Engineers.

Baalhec, or Baalbek, Is the name
given ruined city lying in ancient
Coele, Syria, forty-five miles northwest
Of Damascus.
There is nothing particularly re
markable about q ruined city being
found in the locality mentioned, but
the size of the blocks of stone used
by the ancient builders of this partic-
ular city is something that has puz-
zled the modern engineers since the
day when Baalbec was first made the
Mecca of the oriental traveller.
There are immense stones on every
side of the visitor to this ancient pile
of ruins, but the three most remarka-
BILE blocks-said to be the largest ever
used in the construction of a building
ARE in a wall back of the temple of
Baal.
These immense stones are respec-
lively sixty four, sixty-three and sixty
two feet In length and each is thirteen
feet I'm thickness, but the most wonder
full thing in connection with them is
the fact they are at place In the wall
twenty-five feet from the ground
How these immense blocks of granite
were ever raised to such a height is
question that has never yet been an
swered.

War Department Has No Fit

BECAUSE CONGRESS FAILED
Sending of Force Unnecessary, 1t Is
Hoped--If 1t Is, First Troops
Will Go by Way of

| Washington Oct. 3l.--The army finds

PREVENTION were required as the result
of any disorders after the Cuban cleo
ton next Friday. Four transports, rep
resenting all of the army water service
on the Atlantic coast, are lying at New
| port News, Va. But owing to the
failure Of congress to provide the nec-
essary appropriations, these ships could
not be kept in commission and it will
require some time to prepare them to
receive and transport a sufficient body
of troops to Cuba to effectively inter-
yene. The navy department has been
trying to get itself in position to assist
the army at this iuncture, which is the
real explanation of the orders issued
yesterday to take out or reserve and get
ready for immediate service all Of the
vessels that may be found available.
The general staff plans contemplate
the despatch of the troops now at Fort
Mcpherson, Ga, as the advance guard of
any 'expeditionary force" called upon
for Cuban service. Probably these troops
will be rushed by rail to Tampa or Key
West and there embarked on some Of
the naval vessels while the army trans
ports at Newport News were being made
ready to receive the remainder OF the
expeditionary force.
1t is still believed officially that there
will be no call for intervention unless
the political party defeated at the pools
next Friday should decide to rebel
against the established government.
Probably this decision would not be
reached instantly and in fact might only
come after series of meetings which |
would gradually develop the opposition
to the point of rupture. Should this
movement become really formidable, the |
belief prevails here that President Gomez |
himself will relieve the Washington gov
eminent from the necessity OF taking |
the initotive in a third intervention By /
himself calling for American assistance.

ARREST MAY BARE
BIG NAVY FRAUDS
Stewards Said to Get "Rake- Offs" on
Enlisted Mems
Rations.

New York, Oct. 3l.--With the arrest
Of G. T Davis, chief eommissary steward
Of. the L. S. S. Louisiana, naval officers
believe they have obtained evidence that
will go far to uncover an amazing story
Of graft and peculation by the most
trusted body OF enlisted men in the
service. The investigation still in prog
ress may involve nearly every ship in
the Atlantic fleet.
The utmost endeavors have been made
by naval officers to keep the investiga-
ton from the knowledge of the men sus-
pected, and for this reason, il is under
stood, the commander -in-chief has not
ordered a formal court OF inquiry. In
stead. the officers of the various ships
have been making private inquiries, and
many officers and men of the service will
be as surprised as any to learn of the
true state of affairs.
The commissary steward of ship
has direct charge, under the paymaster,
of the purchasing and preparing of the
mems rations. He plans the mems meals,
buys the provisions and supervses the
cooking and serving Of the food. The
bills are paid out OF the crews ration
money by the paymaster on the stew
ards vouchers.
1t is now charged that many OF the
stewards OF the Atlantic
fleet have for long time been getting
"rake-of' from contractors, sometimes
in the form of direct brides, sometimes
in more covert ways, in return for which
fraudulent vouchers have been passed by
them and unwittingly paymasters have
paid for stores never delivered or OF
a quality much inferior to that repre-
sented

men of his faith without compromising
or finching. Like every public man, he
/ had critics, some bitter; but he also had
friends who were match for his enc
mics. The events he helped to shape
are so comparatively recent that history
cannot assign him to his proper place
until it also records the work of his
contemporaries.
To the House of Representatives of
the fiftieth Congress. he came in the win
ter of 1887, just passed his twenty
seventh birthday, with the energy and
optimism of youth college bred from
the hall of Hamilton. which has given
to public life many other statesmen and
public figures. none without some mark
of distinction. He had been elected may
or of Utica two years before. Like many
Others who came to lead in the ma
tional legislature he brought with him
an education in law. He was well born
and well bred. His father Richard Z.
Sherman. was an editor and public fig
ure in New York state.
Two sessions of Congress found Sher-
man defeated and out of office, but not
for long. Henry w. Bentley of Madison
county beat him by less than a thou
sand votes in the race for the fifty-sec-
ond Congress. In the interim, Sherman
went back to Utica, built up his law

Congress with signal victory He re-
manned in the House without defeat to

Fame In the Crirea.
/ One of the most interesting class OF
! soldiers of modern times has been the
French corps called the zouaves This
body Of daring and picturesquely at
tired fighters reached the heights of
its reputation during the Crimean war.
The zouave corps at that time was
supposed to consist of Frenchmen. 1t
was. however. quite international,
since many daring young foreigners
had Joined it. and 1t was known to in
clude In it's ranks men from oxford,
Gottingen and other universities. 1t is
probable that majority Of its members
were in 1t more for love OF fighting
than for any love of country.
1t is not strange, therefore, that its
fame as a fighting body should have
spread throughout the world. When
our war between the states broke out
several corps of zouaves, wearing the
glittering oriental uniforms Of the
French corps or a modification of them,
We're formed on both sides. On the
Union side the best known was that
corps commanded by Elmer Ellsworth,
n young officer from New York and
the first killed on the Union side. In
the Confederacy the most famous corps
Of zouaves was that called the LOU |
