HoW to Make
Better Cough Syrup than
You Can Buy
A Family supply, Saving 80
and Fully Guaranteed

A full pint of cough syrup-as much
as you could buy for $2.5O-can easily
be made at home. You will find nothing
that takes hold of the ordinary cough
more quickly. usually ~conquering it in
side of "a hours. Excellent, too, for
spasmodic Group, w%hooping cough, bron-
chial asthma and bronchitis.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
y pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 2H ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTHY in a pint bottle, then add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
This is Just laxative enough to help
relieve a cough. Also stimulates the
appetite, which is usually upset by a
cough. The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup on
tie inflamed membranes is we'll known.
Pinex is a most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway white pine extract,
rich in guaiacol and other natural
healing pine elements. Other prepara-
tions will not work in this combination.
This Pinex and Sugar Syrup remedy
has often been initiated, but the old sue
ccssful mixture has never been equaled.
IT is now used in more homes hal any
other cough remedy.
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., Fl. Wayne, Ind,

GAVE TALK ON
ROBERT BRIDGES
INTERESTING DISCUSSION OF
ENLAND'S NEW POET LAURIE
ATE BY MISS BLANCHE TRUE
Is ONE OF ENGLAND's MINOR
POETS" SAYS MISS TRUE.

Sir Robert Bridges, M. D., the Poet
Laureate of England, was the subeict
brought before the students Of Fargo
college this morning. Miss Blanche
True Of the Fargo college English de-
partment told the students Of the his
tory Of poets laureate, of the prominent
Iholders Of the office, and of the char
acteristios of the present incumbent.
There has been considerable criti-
cism and comment in this country fol-
lowing the appointment Of DR.. Bridges.
Many are of the opinion hat Kipling
or some more prominent man should
have been honored, and to students
| who Wero Of this opinion Miss True's
talk was most interesting.
The speaker told the chapel audience
of the five centuries in which this of
fee of honor has been recorded. The
| salary has ranged from a mere pit
lance to the present munifcent sum
| of $500 yearly.
The early poets were members of
| the royal household, writing poems
for great state occasions. Ben John
son, Dryden, Wordsworth Tennyson
and Austin are the principal ones
known today.
TN the first place." said Miss True,
"the poet laureate hould be a patriot,
with a knowledge of, and a. pride in
his country and it's future. Together
with these traits he must be a poet,
capable of expressing national ideas
and sentiment in good verse. These
are the standards to which this Of
ficer must comply.
THE biography of the present MUCH
talked Of laureate is a most interest
ing one. Educated at Elton and Ok
ford, where he was a distinguished
athlete, he spent several years in trav-
ell, followed by the study and practice
| re v1oJ;pina# &# Ginno EjQQC&hn he 60 nnnr
in retirement in Y~attendon, an un-
heard OF town in Kent, where he has
courted the muse. AS a musician he
became proficient, leading a choir and
~connposing hymns"
Miss True told the students o.

Mosques, metric experiments and Tyr
les, the latter Of which are the best
known.
The speaker pointed to the fact that
much of the adverse criticism Of the
English poet laureate may be due TO
the fact that he Is typically of an
English, national style. Hence, he
would naturally be unknown to and
unpopular with foreigners and non-
BritiShers.
The speaker classed Sir Bridges as
prominent among the minor poets Of
England" not to be classed, however,
with Tennyson, Chaucer or Shake
speare.
In conclusion Miss True read his
charming poem, Morning by the Sea.

 He looked furtively at Grace But she was staring blankly ahead of her with eyes that saw nothing.
 Good night" he repeated. T would have spared you, Robertson. But you would have it.
 And he was gone His words had fallen on deaf ears. The men were leaning forward eagerly to catch Grace's first syllable
 And now" Mark demanded, as his wife still hesitated, who is she, i Grace?"
 Blake had forestalled her answer. He crossed the room to the telephone
 We win!" he was chuckling Its a way we've got. Hells full of losers. And I'm still loss-proof." What are you going to do?" queried Van Dyke, who had dropped back in his chair a few moments earlier, talk ing no longer even passive part in the scene.
 I'm going to phone Gregg to let the house know the whole story, names, dates and all. By the time I get on the wire Grace wilt have told"
 Hold on, Jim" objected Van Dyke. Not yet" Not yet?" What dye mean? Why not? We're almost against the ropes over there at the capitol. This is our last punch and it's going to be a knockout
 Wait, Jim!" begged Van Dyke. Wait till you hear the name"
 We've got the name. Grace is go ing to tell us'
 You've got it, yes. But you cant use it, Jim"
 Blake, telephone instrument in hand, passed to glare down in angry amaze, ment at the saturnine lawyer who so calmly opposed him in the hour of victory
 Why in blazes can't we use it?" he clustered. Are you weakening?"
 He took the receiver from the hook. But Van Dyke, with a peremptory ges. ture, halted him.
 Wait, l say!" ordered the lawyer. "Neligan, go downstairs and get rid of that officer, And don't come back" !"
 Co with him, Tom" whispered Wanda For my sake You don't want to hear the name"
 You're right" assented Tom, fol lowing in Neligan's wake. It's none of my business. Now that you are safe"
 The door closed behind the two de- parting men
 Come. Grace" prompted Mark. Who is she?" [ Grace's lips paled. But they were dry and cracked. Her tongue would not stir.
