sEMI-PRo LEAGUE STANDING.

The standing of the teams in the
Semi-Pro league will probably remain
unchanged, for, even though there is
another series of games tackled onto
the schedule, said schedule is TO be for
gotten next week for not only is it too
hot to roll, but that day is Memorial
day and the boys refuse TO enter into
any contests that evening. Still
you can't tell about these bowlers.
Some one is liable to think that he
has tht best score Of the season up his
sleeve and drop around TO the alleys
just to get il out of his system. A
bowler haunts the bowling alleys like
specter haunts a graveyard and even
after everybody has Chosed out to
some spot, the bowler sticks around
and narrates about that big score he
nearly made but failed because he got
one of those corner pin splits in the
middle frame. The only reason he sits
around and partakes and gives of this
review Of reviews is because there is
no pin setter at hand TO set up the
timber.
STOCK LEADERS ONLY ROLLERS.
Did you notice that the Stock Lead
ers crept up three more games in the
race last night? Well, they did. The
Stocks were the only boys to roll last
night. The Bachelors, impelled by the
kindness which comes from a secure
position on the top of the heap, slipped
them trio of games just for the fun
of it, and now the Plow City quintet is
hanging onto the bottom OF the ladder
with a tenacity that will not be dis,
turbed for months. Neither the Cubs
nor Pillow City teams rolled last night

This U'ill Stop Your

This recipe makes a pint of better
cough syrup than you could buy ready

at any price.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
x pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex (fifty
cents WORTH in a pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t has a pleasant
taste and lasts a family q long time.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
You can feel this take hold of a cough

The effect of pine on the membranes

able concentrated compound of Norwe-
gian white pine extract, and is rich in
guaiacol and all the natural healing
pine elements. Other preparations will

little figure in the big chair that it
made an instant appeal, just as the

brown hair with the pretty reddish

well shaped head in pretty, youthful
