to Make at Home.
Every time you buy ready prepared
cough syrup you are paying out good
money for something which costs you
almost nothing to make at home.
Why pay high prices for simple
syrup mixed with little medicine:
Why not buy the medicinal extract on
ly and mix it with the syrup yourself?
Let us show you what you save.
A pound of sugar costs you six
cents, half pint of water costs you
nothing; make syrup and mix with
it two ounces of Logos Cough Rene
dy Extract (costing you so cents) and
you have a full pint of logical, relia-
bic and effective cough syrup which
would cost you about two dollars if
bought ready prepared. The dose is a
teaspoonful every one to four hours, as
needed.
So you have about $50 on every
pint you make. Worth saving. isn't it.

the Irish Players have yet to spend
a night in a sleeping car. American
players envy them their ineXperience
in this respect. for it predicates unfa-

Philadelphia. which journey will give
them their first experience with sleep
ing cars. They sail for Dublin at the
end of February. Upon their arrival
they will inaugurate the usual Dublin
dramatic season at the Abbey theater.
During their absence in the United

Theater School of Acting. from which
the company is recruited from time
to time. have been giving Dublin thea
