HosU to Make
Better Cough Syrup than
You Can Buy
A Family Supply, Saving $2 and
Fully Guaranteed.

A full pint OF cough syrup--as much
os 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 IF
"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 ~ ounces of Pinex fifty
cents worthy in 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 appc-
tite, which is usually upset by cough.
The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup on
the infamcd 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 prepare
tons will not work in this formula.
The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is
now used by thousands of housewives
throughout tho 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., Fl. Wayne, Ind.

Automobile service with later pos

W. the express companies to meet the
growing service Of the government
parcels post,
All over the country yesterday, the
government started its parcels post
system. To meet this, the express COM
panies lave IN many of the cities of
the United States established an auto
delivery service and have enlarged
their delivery limits The wagons will
travel through all Of the enlarged ter
ritofy and will deliver packages to
patrons of the company in competition
with the parcels post of the govern
ment,
IN Boise, the same plan will probably
be worked. The local agent Is making
an effort to get an automobile truck
and has planned 10 enlarge the delivery
limits of the company here to such an
extent that most of the residents Of
the city will receive service from the
company.
The new step is taken with the idea
of meeting the competition of the gov
eminent. The post office department
has announced that it will put on its
delivery service through all of the
cities and out along the rural carrier
routes of the states. Special parcels
posi- wagons will have regular carriers
from this particular week.
Lower Rates Proposed.
The matter Of lower express rates for
the companies in order to meet this
condition Of affairs Is now pending be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion. If the rates are approved, they
will go into effect and Will be one of
the first steps that the express com
panies may take To compete with the
government In its new service Just
what effect this service will have upon
the companies is 50 far uncertain.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE A FINANCIAL
BOON FOR KENTUCKY

Two years ago, Mr.. A. C. Burnett,
Supt. of Agriculture in Lincoln Insti-
tute, with Prof. Garvin, principal of
the Winchester colored school, conduc-
ted ten colored farmers institutes in
as many counties under the direction
of State Supt. of Agriculture Rankin.
This summer State Supt. Newman
planned to repeat the experiment. The
farmers who took most interest in the
previous Institutes were most eager
to have them in their vicinity this
year. Two were held last week, with
large attendance and deep interest. In
quiries were made as to results of the
Institutes held two years ago. Three
instances will show their value.
One Barren County farmer had be-
come discouraged about raising po-
tatoes. He plowed four inches deep,
and did not get his seed back. Not
believing what the lecturers had said
but willing to try the experiment, he
used a three mule team, plowed his
land fourteen inches deep, worked
the soil six times before planting,
carefully selected his seed, sprayed
the vines with paris green for bugs
and with Bordeaux mixture for blight,
and harvested twenty-one bushels
from one bushel of seed He sold four
teen bushels to his neighbors at dol
lar a bushel, and kept seven for his
own use.
Another Barren County farmer had
had only ordinary success raising cab
bages, getting heads weighing a few
pounds each. He prepared his soil
in the same manner as the potato
grower, and raised two hundred heads
averaging twenty-four pounds each.
The smallest weighed nineteen pounds.
A Warren County man of intelli-
gence, a farmer and teacher, worth
several thousand dollars, had been ac-
customed to raise seventy-five to nine
ty barrels of corn from thirty acres.
He took careful note of the directions
given, and reduced his acreage from
thirty TO twelve. He used four mule
team and number forty pillow, turn
ing the soil fourteen inches deep, and
thoroughly pulverizing it, He raised
one hundred and twenty-five barrels
of superior corn from his twelve acres.
Several more Institutes will be held
in other counties which have asked
for them. Lincoln Institute is teach
ing this sort of farming in its class
rooms and illustrating it on its farm,
and is giving its Farm Supt.'s time
for this valuable extension work. The
State only pays actual expenses.

Kentucky Tax System Defective

tons have been given TO the public In
order that the people may become
better acquainted with the needs Of
the system and be able TO discuss the
matter among themselves. Prof.
Plehn suggests as remedies for
few of the existing evils the follow
ing:
Central control Of all assessments
in the state by a strong state tax
commission; larger assessment dis
tricts so that fewer assessors would
be employed, and so that they would
be employed throughout the entire
year instead Of for few months as
now; a salary instead Of q fee basis
in paying assessors, assessors to be
eligible to reappointment; use Of good
maps in making assessments; assess
ment and equalization every four
years instead Of yearly, as now, in
order 10 reduce expenses and give
the assessors chance TO become skill
tu tbt ttilNi w haNt
control Of the work Of assessing all
corporations instead Of the present
plan of having both the railroad COM
mission and the state board of assess
ments and valuations make the assess
ments Of railroads"
These suggestions have been put
in practice in a number of other states
where reforms in taxation have been
carried out and are working well. In
Ohio. where the same conditions once
existed as now exist in Kentucky,
these principles have been very
successfully applied, and Professor
flehn argues that they can be APP
piled in this state with the same
result.
