H0tU to Make Better Cough Jyrup than You Can Buy A Family Supply, Saving S2 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 24 hours. Excellent, too. for croup, Whooping cough, sore lungs, asthma, hoarsencss and other throat troubles.
 Mix one pint of granulated sugar with 3d pint of warm water, and stir for ? 1inutes Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty cents' worth) in pint bottle, then add the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly. Take ! 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 cough. The taste is pleasant.
 The effect of pine and sugar syrup on t..e infamed 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- tions 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 fhe old successful formula has never been equaled.
 A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or money promptly refunded, goes with this fecfpe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will aet it for you. If not, send to The finex O.. Ft. Wayne, Ind.

world that I gave up everything else for just that one ambition. l began my studies presently with a pupil of Schrad- eck's, and through this teacher Schradieck became sort of an idol, as well as an ideal with me, and l made up my mind that one of these days l was going to study with him or die in the at tempt.'
 '''ro make a long story short" she con- tinued, T went to New York and after 1 got there l wrote to MT. Shradieck and asked for an audience. You know he gives private lessons at his Studio in his home, as well as at the American Insti- tute of Applied Music. I got very nice letter from him in reply to mine, and on the day appointed, I went with fear and tremling to play for him."
 What compositionshad you selected as sample of your playing?" asked
 ''The Bach Aria in G. she said, and what do you suppose happened when 1 had finished? MT. Schradieck turned to me very casually and said:
 When do you wish to begin your les sons?'
 would you believe your ears?' I asked, catching the girls enthusiasm in the tell ing of her story.
 T was almost speechless," she replied. T never had dreamed of any such hap piness coming to a human being-least of all to me, but it was true, nevertheless. He had said the words and I was hc- ceptedl'
 How long did you continue your studies?' I asked.
 Long enough to receive a Scholarship in The Institute, which gave me an ad- ditional opportunity to study Ensemble work" said Miss Fabian. But even that was only a beginning. The dream of my life is to get back to New York and study again with MT. Schradeick. It was his idea for pe to follow Ensemble work as a profession, forming trio similar to the Adele Marguilles Trio--the Olive Mead Quartet, or the Pasmores. I particularly wanted to concertize and shall do so in connection with my other work"
 Have you had any platform experience besides here in your home town?" I asked.
 Last year I was visiting in Grand Rap ids" Miss Fabian told me. when Mrs. Carrie Jacobs Bond was giving a recital there and needed a violinist to assist her. The invitation was extended to me, which, of course. I accepted with much pleasure and appreciationp
 ''Do you admire Mrs. Bonds style?" I asked
 "very much indeed was the reply. "Of course, she has very little voice, but she has so much ability and temperament and makes so much of every tone and her com positions are so pleasing that she has es- abolished for herself quite an enviable reputation as an artist"
 "Oh you don't know how I love good music" Miss Fabian continued, enthusi- astically 'I hate rag time and the pop ular things-but I adore the classics, I'd forego any pleasure in the world just to hear good music. If I am successful in my ambition in going back to New York and studying with MT Schradieck, then Iswant to go abroad and study with Leo pold Auer-Mlscha Elmans and Kathleen Parlow's teacher. Wouldn't that be splen- did?"

If you knew little Rose Fabian like do, you'd just love her,
 She has the biggest, brightest, brownest eyes and the ravenest black hair and the swarthicst, duskiest skin, and the sweet est smile, and 'the most enthusiasm" and the biggest bunch of stickability and ambition that any little 1s-year-old girl ever had to her credit.
 one of these days Birmingham is go- ing to be so proud of her in the musical world--if can go so far as to constitute myself a prophet-that we are all just going to jump up and clap our hands like we did when we heard that Mrs. Aldrich was going to play with the Boston Sym phony and Carrie Brideweli sang with the Metropolitan opera-and say:
 SHE belongs to US"
 Right here in Birmingham little Rose Fabian has grown up, and right here her wonderful talent has been developed, ex- cept with the all too short time that she has studied in New York with the great Schradieck.
 The girl really is exceptionally talented, not only talented with her fingers in mastering lut lGtHHlihC oA iiAC hApiiAiB ON'S talented with her brain, for she has 'tsense', plus, besides an immense amount of temperament, the warm blooded, ex- otic, inexplicable quality that distin- guishes the real musician from the imita- tion
 I predict great things for this little girl, and remember when she arrives" I'm going to be mean and say, T told you so," which is just about the boastingest thing that anybody can do to another!
 With cheeks aglow, as brilliantly crim- son as the cluster of beautiful red roses she wore in her corsage the other after noon when she was talking to me about her ambition and her plans I was strangely impressed with the fact that nothing in life is so sweet or so desir- able as youth and enthusiasm, and life with it's great possibilities ahead-the chance to fight and winl
 In her girhsh little way Miss Fabian told me about the manner in which she got an audience with MT. Schradieck when she went to New York, and among other things she said
 You never will know how I felt about if all You see, I have loved the violin all my life l never was like other chil- dren. I had no dolls or playmates. 1 didn't case for them if l could only get some sort of an little old instrument to play on. I was years old when my brother, who plays very well on the violin, gave me my first lesson. I was perfectIy entranced-so happy that could scarcely live. Then as I grew older the obsession became so strong within me to be something, to do something, to make a name for myself in the musical
