WORKING FORCE Of
WAR DEPARTMENT
WILL NOT BE REDUCED AT PRES
ENT, DESPITE PRESIDENTS
ECONOMY RECOMMENDATION.

Washington D. c., Feb 26.-No re-
duction in the working force of the
war department will be made during
the present administration, despite
recomme endation of the presidents
economy and efficiency commission
that nearly one-third of the staff be
dismissed.
In reaching this decision the de-
partment is following the report of
special investigating board appoint
cd by Secretary of War Stimson to
determine how best the recommends
ticns of the economy and efficiency
commission could be put into effect.
That investigating board accepted
many of the recommendation of the
commission, and is now putting them
into effect. After the report was
made to Secretary Of War Stimson
with details wherein the board agreed
with the commission were made ef-
fcctive at once without a formal or
der.
Before the number of employees
could be reduced materially further
acton devolved on the secretary of
war. He has not taken this action
and will not do so.
The last appropriation bill, passed
during the last session, provided for
reduction of 5 per cent in the work
Ing force Of the war department
This reduction is being effected
through a system of not filling va
cancies. Estimates for the depart
mont were made this year on the
basis of 5 per cent reduction in the
number of employees.
The economies and efficiency COM
mission thought that more than 200
employees could be dropped. The
war department thinks not.
The chief argument made, which
-ayes to these 200 men their posi-
IONS in the department, was that

HosU 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 worth 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 inhamed membranes is well 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 Cam
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., Ft. Wayne, Ind.

Contention Of Farrls.

Farris bases his contention on the
claim that in the meaning of the con-
st,tution he is not high state offic-
ial, and therefore, not subject to i'm
parchment TIE same argument was
presented to the senate at the outset
of TIE trial by Attorney Giddings,
representing Farris, who demurred to
the house charges on the ground
that the senate was without iuris-
diction, but the demurrer was over,
ruled by the senate Farris declares S
he will not take the initiative in test
ing the question but will remain in
office until custer proceedings are
started against him.
The contention of Farris and his
attorneys are not expected to hold
good before any court. In such mat
terc it is contended that the senate
is supreme and from it there is no
appeal.
The final legal battle in the case
was concluded at noon wednesday,
with the argument of Representative
Nyand of the house managers. The
senate resolved itself into executive
session to deliberate on the evidence
and decided that the vote should be
taken in open ession at o'clock.
When that hour arrived the senate
Chamber was crowded to the doors.
The roll call on the first article of
Impeachment was taken at 2:35 and
as soon as it was completed the fate
of Farris was never in doubt. Each
article was read separately and voted
on accordingly. The one on which
Ftrris was not convicted was the
article charging that he had felon-
iously obtained 500 supposed to
have been paid for extra stenogra-
piers services.-Oklahoma
