Progress of the Grinding Campaign
in Ascension and Elsewhere
Items of Interest from Field and
Factory.

The first break in the perfect
weather which has prevailed since
the opening of the grinding campaign
occurred on Wednesday, when a
steady drizzle fell from before day
light until after noon The wind
blew at times from all points of the
compass, finally veering to the
northwest, and at this writing (Wed-
nesday afternoonl the temperature
is hiking downward, a stiff wind IS
blowing, the sky is overcast with
clouds, and, if indications are TO
be believed, a freeze is III prospect.
Even if the mercury should drop
way below the 32-degree mark no
appreciate injury to the cane would
result, since the crop is so short
it has already been harvested, and
the acreage reserved for seed has
already been WindroWed. This is
one time when the sugar planters
can afford to make faces at the
weather man.
The Bessie K factory in st.
James parish finished grinding at 2
o'clock Monday morning, after haV-
ing been in operation just nineteen
days. The record CT this mill may
be taken as a fair example of that
of the other factories in Louisiana
| this precedent-shattering season.

for inflammation concerning the re-

respect he is like all the other plant

view Of the decidedly unsatisfactory

A neighbor, Sunday morning. found
Simeon L. Goddard dead in his yard
near the we'll with practically all the
clothing burned from his body. a
doctor was summoned and an investi-

slight smoke arising near the well
but thought Mr.. Goddard might be

Importance to the incident AS one
arm was badly burned and the face
burned almost past recognition it is

to put on the fire rushed from the
house for water or to attract atten-
ton and there being overcome by the
flames met his death.
Mr.. Goddard was about rs years of

H0sD to Make
Better Cough Syrup than
You Can Buy
A Family supply, Saving 81 and
Fully Guaranteed.

A full pint of cough syrup--as much
as you could buy for $2.50-can easily
be made at home. You will find nothing
that takes hold of an obstinate cough
more quickly, usually ending it inside of
"a hours. Excellent, too, for Group,
whooping cough, sore lungs, asthma,
hoarseness and other throat troubles.
Mix one pint of graduated sugar with
II pint of warm water, and stir for .
minutes. Put 2h ounces of Pinex fifty
cents worthy in a pint bottle, then add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
This is Just laxative enough to help
cure q cough. Also stimulates the appe-
tite. which is usually upset by a cough.
The taste is pleasant.
The effect Of pine and sugar syrup on
the inf1amed membranes is well known.
Pinex is the most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway white pine extract,
rich in guaiacol and all the natural
healing pine elements. Other prepara-
tons will not work in this formula.
The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is
now used by thousands of housewives
throughout the United States and Can
ada. The plan has been initiated, but
the old successful 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.
