FITz HAS PUNCH
Annoying Man Spends Fifteen
Minutes in Sunderland.
Policeman Thinks Victim
Struck With SIedge Hammer.

New York, Nov. 14.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons, the former heavyweight cham
pion, used his famous short arm punch
with such telling effect on a subway
train the other day that his victim did
not recover consciousness for fifteen
minutes after Bob had disappeared out
the Brooklyn bridge station. Broad
way did not hear the story until today
when it was told by James Roach, the
veteran playwright.
Roach and F'itzSimmons were COM
ing down town in a crowded subway
train. A young woman got on and
Roach and FitZsimmons were arising
to proffer their seats when a tall,
heavy set man made a dive for the
vacant space. The two men resumed
their seats and the Young lady ac-
knowledged the intended courtesy. The
big man, however, proceeded to vent
his spite on the young woman by an
noying her in various ways. He was
told to "cut it out" according to
Roach, and retorted that he was capa-
BILE of attending to his own affairs.
The man continued his annoyance I'M
til FitZSinmOnS arose and dropped
him with a short arm punch.
To the policeman who met the two
men carrying the unconscious man
from the train at the Brooklyn
bridge, Roach said that the man had
had a st.
This is no fit,'' said the officer, ''the
man who hit him used sledge ham
mer."
He was then told the straight story
and Roach fastened upstairs to the
ground after the flying Fitz.

How to Have the best Cough
Syrup and Save 81, by
Making 1t at Home.

Cough medicines, as rule, contain a
large quantity of plain syrup. If you
take one pint of granulated sugar, ado
u pint of warm water and stir about
9 minutes, you have as good syrup as
money could buy.
If you will then put 215 ounces of
Pinex $50 cents WORTHY in a pint bottle,
and fill it up with the Sugar Syrup, you
could buy ready made for $3.50. 1t
And You VIII find it the best cough
syrup you ever used-even in whooping
cough. You can feel it take hold-usu-
ally stops the most severe cough in "a
hours. 1t is Just laxative enough, has Il
good tonic effect, and taste is pleasant.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
It is a splendid remedy, too, for
whooping cough, Group, hoarseness, asth-
ma, chest pains, etc.
ted compound of Norway white pine ex-
tract, rich in guaiacol and all the heal
ing pine elements. No other prepaTa-
ton will work in this formula.
This recipe for making cough remedy
with Pinex and Sugar Syrup is now
used and priced in thousands of homes
In the United States and Canada. The
plan has often been initiated 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 Won. If not, send to The
Pinex Coz Ft. Wayne, Ind ADV.

WATERS TO CABINET.
President X. S. A. C. May Be Secretary
of Agriculture.

Mexico. Mo, Nov. 14.-While per-
sistent efforts have failed to elicit any
thing from President Elect Wilson as
to the personnel of his cabinet, friends
here of H. J. Waters, dean of the Kan
sas college of agriculture, believe he
will be the next secretary of agricul-
rure. 81 g.
Waters formerly lived in this coun-
ty. He was reared near Vandalia and
his brother, We s.. Waters, now lives
there. When Governor Wilson toured
Kansas a few weeks ago during the
campaign, he arranged by wire for a
conference with Dean Waters at Man
haitian. The conference took place,
but what passed between the two no.
body but the governor and the dean
know. The fact, however, that there
was a long private talk is known to
Waters friends in this county and
they regard it with significance. Dean
Waters was. at the head of the Mis-
souri, college of agriculture several
years before going to Kansas.

One OF the most important and in
teresting numbers on the program of
the Shawnee county Sunday school
convention is the 6 o'clock dinner
gational church. Presidents, teachers
and delegates of adult Bible classes
can not afford to miss this conference
which will be in charge of w. H.
Rockefeller, state superintendent of
adult Bible class work.
. One of the most successful chicken
pie suppers in the history of Euclid
Avenue Methodist church was given by
the members of the Ladies' Aid society
of the church last night. Nearly 400
suppers were served downstairs while
upstairs a handkerchief bazaar netted
tidy sum for the workers. The
church was well filed from 6 o'clock
until o'clock, and most of the time
and selling handkerchiefs. The sup
per is an annual event, and always is
greeted with enthusiasm and loyal
support.
