OF general legislative work, to prop

its phases. Some Of the members
think that II the Legislature WerA to
hold a special session for thirty days,

voting Its time to measures Of the

HoGU to Make
Better Cough Syrup than
You Can Buy
A Family Supply, Saving 81 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
"a hours. Excellent, too. for Group,
whooping cough, sore lungs, asthma,
hoarseness and other throat troubles.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
u pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTHY in a pint bottle, then add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take 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 a cough.
The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup on
the infamed 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 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
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
get it for YOU. If not, send to The
Pinex Co., Fit. Wayne, Ind.

Milady's Toilet Table
(By Mime. D'Mille.)
{ BY Mime. D'Mllle.

For dark and discolored patches, sal
lowness and complexion bemishes, there
is nothing better than a lotion made by
dissolving a package of mayatone in a
half pint of witch hazel. II gives a more
youthful color and smoother finish than
any face powder. and will not rub off or
show. 1t keeps the skin soft and satiny.
ION every toilet table there should be a
jar of Mothers salve. You can look your
best when suffering, and Mothers Salve
relieves pain almost instantly Rub on
affected part for headache, neuralgia,
rheumatism, sore muscles, bruises, stiff
neck cold in the chest, or pains and aches
in back or joints.
Don't catch cold washing your head.
Anyhow, water dullS and deadens the
hair and dry shampooing Is preferred.
To make a fine shampoo powder Just mix
4 ounces of orris root with a package OF
genuine theroX. Sift over head, brush
out. and your scalp is clean and your hair
beautifully lustrpus, bright wavy and
easy to do up.
Delatone is the simplest and quickest
hair remover known to beauty specialists.
Make a paste with q little delatonc and
water. cover the hairs, let remain a min

TODAY'S INSTALLMENT.

TT is impossible to read and weigh the
facts in connection with the convc-
~ ton of oscar Slater in May, 1908, at
the high court in Edinburgh, without
feeling deeply dissatisfied with the pro-
ccedings, and morally certain that justice
was not done. Under the circumstances
OF Scotch law l am not clear how far any
remedy exists, but it will, in my opinion,
be a serious scandal if the man be al
lowed upon such evidence to spend his
life in convict prison. The verdict
which led to his condemnation to death,
was given by a jury of fifteen, who voted
Nine for Guilty" five for mot proven
and one for Not guilty"
Under English law, this division of
opinion would naturally have given cause
for new trial. In Scotland the man was
condemned to death. he was only re
proved two days before the execution,
and he is now working out life sentence
in Peterhead convict establishment How
far the verdict was a just one, the reader
may Judge for himself when he has pc
rused a connected story of the case.
There lived in Glasgow, in the year
1908, an old maiden lady named Miss
Marion Gilchrst. She had lived for 80
years in the one fiat, which was on the
first floor in Is Queens terrace. The fat
above hers was vacant, and the only i'm
mediate neghbors were a family named
Adams, living on the ground floor below,
their house having separate door,
which was close alongside the fiat en-
trance.

SHERLOCK HOLMES
In Real Life,


The Sherlock Holmse of fiction is a
figure well known the world over.
The real flesh-and- blood Sherlock
Holmes of everyday life is seen in
pamphlet that Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle has written on THE Case of
oscar Slater" condemned for MUIR
der in 1909 and now in penal servi-
tude.
Sir Conan DOYLE believes that Os-
car Slater is not guilty of the crime
. of which he was convicted, and he
tells i'll a clear, concise way the
story of the tragedy and the reasons
why the man was wrongly con-
demned
1t is a story of deep mystery, as
: interesting as the most improbable
: fiction the great novelist ever con-
ccived.
