HotC to Make
Better Cough Syrup than
You Can Buy
A Family Supply, Saving - aad
Fully Guaranteed.

A full pint of cough syrup-as much
as you could buy for S2.5O-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 n pint of ~granulated sugar with
~ pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 215 ounces of Pinex (ffty
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 a cough. Also stimulates the appe-
tite, which is usually upset by q cough.
The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup on
the infiamed membranes is we'll 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 viii not work in this formula.
The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is
now used by thousands of housewives
throughout the United States and Cam
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

When this is finished sew the under
part fast and attach a small calyx Of
green ribbon. The blossoms are then
attached 10 fine green-oovered wire
and foliage, formed into q garland and
placed around the hat.
But what could be more appropriate
for an embroidered linen hat thar q
wreath OF small linen flowers? One
can buy the dainty colorea linens Ia
almost every shade; one-eighth OF a
yard is plenty to make a number OF
flowers. Scraps left from gowns Of for
mer years can also be used to advan-
tage. The blossoms are made in ex-
actly the same as the silken
ones. using linen in place of silk.
In fact, dainty fabric flowers may be
fashioned from pieces of delicate
colored lawn, dimity, null or any Of
the plain-colored sheer summer ma
terials.
Flowers as fine es forget-me-nots
have been made of pale blue OF pink
null, and nothing could be more at
tractive than a pretty lingerie hat
trimmed with these lovely handmade
flowers.

ROYALTY

when knighthood was in flower it was the
habit of royalty to be slender. Indeed, no

Since those halcyon days of lean utility, con-
ditions have changed and the members of re-

about little. Nature has exacted her toll, and
todav European nobility lis noted for its nu-
merous feshy scions and daughters.
There is nothing startling in this. perhaps,
for others who never possessed a title are also
suffering from the same malady. But the in
teresting feature is found in the fact that
European courts may again be noted for the
slender ladies and knights because as Amer

Miss Marjorie E.. Hamilton, of Denver, Colo.

lose her slender grace of girlhood for the
obese proportions of womanhood she was no
longer in demand as an artists model.
Hundreds of thousands OF wonderland men,
too-throughout America have learned how she
again reclaimed herself. without drugs, diet
or harmful exercise, or anything else siren

gone forward to Queer. Alexandra of England
and the Empress of Germany as we'll az to

are spread when the cake is hot or very
warm there is apt to be a soggy ridge
between the frosting and the cake.

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly answer this question in
your column? I am. a boy 15 years of
age. I am strong all over and am pretty
good looking, but there is one thing that
is bad, and that is my teeth. l just
started in to clean them about a month
ago and they do not get any cleaner.
They are a yellowish color. Will you tell
me of a good tooth powder or medicine
that will clean them In about three days?
Thanking you in advance, l remain,
JOE s.
1t is certainly a pity that you neg
lected your teeth so long. If were
you 1 would consult a dentist at once
for probably the accumulation of tar
tar covers cavities that will soon give
you a great deal of trouble n may
result in tho loss of your teeth, while
you are still quite young. Money paid
to dentists is well invested for it draws
compound interest in comfort and
health. Few people stop to realize that
the injurious results of a teeth are
not confined to the mouth. Decayed
teeth generally mean indigestion, with
all it's accompanying ills.
3 Now that you have started in to care
for your teeth do it faithfully, clean
ing them before breakfast, before re-
firing and after each meal. Cleaning
with a brush does not do the work
thoroughly, however, so dental floss
should be used after each meal. This
takes out the particles of food lodged
between the teeth out of reach of the
brush. Remember. that the toothbrush
should be kept scrupulously clean and
should be sterilized at least once a
week.
Some teeth are naturally yellow and
nothing will whiten them. Powdered
charcoal will improve the color, but
this should be used very seldom, at the
most once every two months, as 1t is
apt to injure the enamel. There are
several good dentifrices on the mar
ket. You will find it more satisfactory

Chocolate Stain on Velvet.
y dear Miss Doom:

MY dear MISS DOOn.
VIII you kindly tell me how to take
chocolate stains out of a black velvet
dress? l.. r. X,
After o have brushed the stain
thoroughly with a soft brush sponge
the velvet with c%hloroform, naphtha
or benzine, When the stain is re-
moved steam the fabric In order to
raise the pile. To do this put a very
hot iron on its side and cover 1t with
several thioknesses of wet cloth. Pass
the back of the velvet over this until
he velvet looks thick and fluffy. The
steaming may be done by holding the
velvet, nap up, over a pan of boiling
water. While n person holds the
velvet taut a econd should brush II
against the nap.

Well-ftting and shapely u~ndergar-
ments are absolutely necessary to
smart looking gowns. This corset cover
is as simple as can be, out it suits
youthful figures peculiarly well and
the hve-gored petticoat is absolutely
without fullness over the hips. In the

nainsook with trimming of embroidery
and the corset cover is made from
fiouncing. Flouncing is especially we'll
suited to sue use, for the corset cover
Is straight at the upper edge, but the
model can just as well be utilized for
plain material trimmed to suit the
fancy. There Is a seam at the back
and there are seams under the arms
so hat there Is only slight fulness at
the waist line. The petticoat can be
made with or without the circular
1ounce and just as illustrated, or with
a yoke at the upper edge. In any case
It is perfectly smooth fitting and closed
invisibly. The model is a good one for
silk as well as for lingerie materials.
All-over embroidery is being used
much as trimming upon underwear just
now and the entire fiounce made of
that material with frill or edge Of lace
would be very handsome.
