or will exceed that figure in 1915.
The District of Columbia retains two
delegates with voting power in the con
vention, but the delegates from the
Philippines and Porto Rico have voice
but no vote in the convention.
The committee adopted a rule recog
nizing State primary laws in selectint
convention delegates. and arranged fol
the issuance Of public address to the
country.
The threatened row that broke out on
th insistence of Committeeman Howell
who called for a much heavier reduc-
ton in the Southern delegation, was
averted. and the closing session was
harmonious. The committee vacated the
power that ii formerly exercised 20
pass on the credentials of delegates.
The changes in the party organization
arranged by the committee will not be-
come effective until ratified by two
thirds of the States that make up a
majority of the electoral party.
The Republican national convention
of 1872 was made up of 1.o7S delegates.
the next national convention. it is esti-
mated, will be made UP of 99S dele
gates. The representation OF the South
is reduced from 245 to 164.

get into some less sporty toys, and cut out
the slang all you can

fill the bill without any advice from you.
Why don't you take him on YOURSELF
@Lord, nor said my partner.
1t was very chastened, subdued Mr..
Mariner that sent up his card to room SIG
sion l had donned modest suit of black
serge; appropriate, as l thought, to meeting
one whose fame as a paragon of virtue had
extended far beyond the town that he adorned
with his presence. But doubts seized me
when, upon entering his room, was saluted
with jovial:
"Well, well, well, Mr.. Mariner! I'm de-
lighted to meet you. l was just about to
slake thirst like the Sahara, and I'm sure
you'll Join me- What'll it be-" l managed
to name my favorite brand as l staggered
me, or was that box of cigars on the
bureau? And could that bright-colored
package contain cigarettes?
"You seem surprised, said my host. u
suppose you expected to meet prig or

ing his best to make me one! He's the saint

water, or a squirrel to tree? For almost
week it was one round of unalloyed pleasure,
with my new-found friend setting pace
that made even some of us oldtimers dizzy.
On the eve of his departure brought up
the question of a paving contract.
"I'm very sorry" he said, "but you'll
have to see my brother about that. If it
was in my power you'd have it in a minute

BLESSINGS Remembered.

"a sincere thanksgiver remembers
blessings received, and is grateful for
the great blessing that was so in the
case of the cleansed leper. for when
he realized the great blessing that
was his he turned back, and with a
loud voice glorlied God. This was SO
in the case OF David, who had much
to be grateful for, and this gratitude
he expresses In that great Psalm OF
Thanksgiving which has been read In
your hearing this morning. 1t should
be so with every man in the world,
but especially SO of the christian. for
he has received the greatest blessing
that can come to any man-redemp.
ton through the Son.
"Those were wonderful words, that
were penned by the psalmist OF long
ago when he wrote, What shall
render unto the Lord for all HIS
benefits towards me?' They seem to
me to be the outpouring of a soul
weighed down by sense OF debt so
great that no adequate return can be
made. An overwhelming Obligation to
God for all his benefits-a debt that
could not be discharged by any act OF
|his-was what met his eye and caused
him to cry, What shall ! render unto
the ord for all his benefits toward
me-? What was true of the singer OF
cid is just as true in your case and
mine today, and the same feeling OF
obligation impossible to discharge
should surge through our breasts, be-
cause the benefits he has bestowed
npon us are almost numberless. This
should cause springs of gratitude and
thanks to we'll up in the heart, and
from our lips should come the re-
frain. What shall render unto the
Lord for all His benefits: toward me?

Make This and Try 1t
for Coughs
This Homemade Remedy has
mo- Equal for Prompt
Results.

Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
minutes. Put 21a ounce; Of Pinex (fifty
cents, WORTHY in a pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. Take teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours.
This simple remedy takes hold of a
cough more quickly than anything else
you ever used. Usually conquers an
ordinary cough inside of "a hours.
Splendid, too, for whooping cough,
spasmodic Group and bronchitis. 1t
stimulates the appetite and is slightly
laxative, which helps end cough.
This makes more and better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made
for $3.50. 1t keeps perfectly and tastes
pleasant.
Pinex is most valuable concen
trated compound of Norway white pine
extract. and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural pine elements which are
80 healing to the membranes. Other
preparations will not work in this plan.
Making cough syrup with Pinex and
sugar syrup Tor strained honey has
proven SO popular throughout the United
States and Canada that it is often
initiated. But the old, successful mix
ture has never been equalcd.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
Pinex or will get it for you. If not,
send to The Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind.
