by Making Your Cough
Syrup at Home
Takes But a Few Moments,

Cough medicines, as rule, contain a

is pleasant.
1t is splendid remedy. too, for
whooping cough, spasmodic Group,

Pinex is a most valuable concentra-

healing pine elements. No other prepa-

ROUSSEAU TO LADY cEcILE HOBART

Jean Jasques Rousseans last love
forms one of the most romantic epi.
sodes in his life, concerning which
ago, when the French historian, r
Chantelauze. discovered in bookstal
the manuscript of letter by Rousseau
written to Lady Cecile Hobart, and
dated 1770. when Rousseau was nearly
SO years of age.
Rousseau appears to have met this
lady in England at the time he was
writing his confessions. She had first
won his affection by her admiration
of his works; and in the course oil
his long and hyper sentimental letter
he remarks:
Why is it that I have never felt
any other true love but that for the
products of my own fancy? Wherein
lies the reason. Cecile? In these fancied
beings themselves; they made me dis
satisfied with everything else. For 40
years / have carried in my mind the
image I adore. l love her with con-
stancy, an ecstasy inexpressible. 1 had

What the ideal of my heart thought

What an exceptionally strange mix
ture of passion and sentiment was this
famous French philosopher. His whole
life was full of changes of tempera-
ment and eccentricities, and there is
little doubt that for the last 10 or Is
years of his life he was not wholly
sane.
The love affairs of Rousseau were
many and as varied as numerous. When
he was hardly more than a boy he was
sent to live with Madame de Warens,

Use uniform size potatoes about two

cut off the tops; place on end in

they may be pierced with a folk; re-
