ILL LUCK IN THIS FAMILY.
Series of Accidents Befall the
Mangums Of Brooklyn In This
County.

Once more misfortune has visited
the family of John T. Mangum, at
Brooklyn, this eounty. Sunday after
noon Ira, the eight.year-old son was
struck by a motorcycle in front of his
home and his face and head severely
cut. After dressing the child's cuts,
DR.. Deibes found that while severely
bruised the boy had not sustained ser
ious injuries
With the numerous accidents that
have befallen the family fresh inner
memory, Mrs. Mapgum was nearly
prostrated when the bleeding child
was taken into the house. Two of
the smaller children are suffering
with whooping cough.
The first victim to the series of
accidents which have befallen the
family was the father Some months
ago whils riding a bicycle near
Pumphrey Station, on the Short Line,
he was run into by an automobile and
was knocked down an embankment,
and was rendered unconscious for
several hours. Six ribs were broken,
his shoulder blade fractured in two
places and his body was severely cut.
While Mr.. Mangum was slowly
recuperating his brother. Charles
Kelly Mangum, was badly burned by
bursting pipe which contained acid,
and was taken to the hospital. Later
he was the victim of a similar acci-
dent and nearly lost his sight. Mis-
fortune again visited the family.
The youngest child, Melvin. while
playing on the back porch with some
other youngsters, had his arm pulled
out of Joint.
Thsn another brother of the father,
Roland F. Mangum, received a bro
ken arm, but after their many exper-
fences no one considered it a serious
calamity. Until Sunday the accident
filed in the family had not been add
ed to for several months.

Household Economy
How 10 Have the Best Cough
Syrup and Save 81, by
Making IL at Home.


Cough medicines, as rule, contain a
large quantity Of plain syrup. If you
take one pint of granulated sugar, add
2 minutes, you have as good syrup as
money could buy.
If you viii then put 276 ounces of
Pinex $50 cents WORTHY in a pint bottle,
and fill it up with the Sugar Syrup, you
will have as much cough syrup as you
could buy ready made for $3.50. 1t
keeps perfectly.
And you will find it the best cough
syrup you ever used-even in whooping
cough. You can feel it take hold-usu-
hours. It is Just laxative enough, has a
good tonic effect, and taste is pleasant.
Take teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
1t is a splendid remedy, too, for
whooping cough, Group, hosrseness, asth-
ma, chest pains, etc.
Pinex IS the most valuable concentra-
ted compound of Norway white pine ex-
tract, rich in guaiaeol and all the heal
ing pine elements. No other prepara-
tion viii work in this formula.
This recipe for making cough remedy
with Pinex and Sugar Syrup is now
used and prized in thousands of homes
in the United States and Canada. The
plan has often been initiated but never
successfully.
A guaranty Of absolute satisfaction, OF
money promptly refunded, goes with this
recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or viii
get it for you. If not, send to The
