From now on war on weeds,

many ways to kill weeds to
what they did when l was a

he uses all tools to cultivate 2
rows Of corn at once from start

plows that will pillow 10 to Is
acres a day. This is an age Of

How to Have the Rest Cough
Syrup and Save 81, by
Making 1t at Homo.

Cough medicines, as a rule, contain a
large quantity of plain syrup. If you
take one pint of granulated sugar, add
- pint of warm water and stir about
2 minutes, you have as good syrup as
money could buy.
If you will then put 215 ounces Of
Pinex $50 cents WORTHY in q pint bottle,
and fill it up with the Sugar Syrup, you
will have as much cough syrup as you
could buy ready made for $3.50. 1t
And you viii find it the best cough
syrup you ever used-even in whooping
cough. You can feel it take hold-usu-
hours. 1t is just laxative enough, has q
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
1t is splendid remedy, too, for

ted compound Of Norway white pine ex-
tract, rich IN guaiacol and all the heal
ing pine elements. No other prepara-
ton will work in this formula.
This recipe for making cough remedy
with Pinex and Sugar Syrup is now
used and priced in thousands of homes
in the United States and Canada. The
plan has often been initiated 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
