Onion sets can urdountedly be grown
in any part of the northern states
where suitable soil conditions can be
obtained. The soil adapted to onion
set culture is, as 3 rule, about the
same as that required for the growing
of large onions, except that the land
should not be SO rich.

that the owner is an eight-year-old
orphan, an inmate of the orphanage

sole possession. Her relatives have
hitherto done nothing for the child

The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Cure
Easily and Cheap1y Made at
HOme. Saves You 81.

This recipe makes q pint of cough
syrup-enough to last family a long
time. You couldn't buy as much or as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost instant
relief and usually stops the most obsti-
nate cough in "a hours. This is partly
due TO the fact that it is slightly laxa-
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. It is pleasant to
take-children like il. An excellent rem
edy, too, for whooping cough, Group, sore
lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
y pint of warm water, and stir for
minutes. Put 215 ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTHY in pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one Of the oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and 3 rich in guaiacol and
all the other natural healing elements.
Other preparations win not work in this
formula
The prompt results from this recipe
have endeared it to thousands of house
wives in the United States and Canada,
which explains why the plan has been
initiated often, 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
Pinex Co., Fl. Wayne, Ind

To the Voters
OF the
Fourth Commissioners
District, Escambia
County.

/ have keen asked by some of my
political friends In and around Pen
sacola to make a statement as to my
stand on the positions of the proposed
bridges to connect Escambia and
Santa Rosa counties. Inasmuch as
this all-important question has al
ready been settled by the present
board, 1t Is not necessary for me to
make a statement as to what I would
do or could do in the premises, but
promise to use every effort to the
best of my ability which my conscience
may direct Is for the best interests Of
the district and the whole county.
It seems to me that economy should
be practiced more than anything else
until some OF the existing burdens
have been removed from the taxpayers
OF our county. No one favors good
roads and bridges more than do. but
! would advocate the building of more
good roads in the county where they
are most needed and the keeping in
better shape Of the roads We already
have.
Irrespective of all persons and
private preferences and interests, ii
shah always be my purpose to advo-
cate and urge those principles which
promise the greatest good to the ma
jority OF the citizens of the whole
county.
