This kzOsS1v-Jsz 1dS Cough
Syrup UiH Surprise You
Costs Little, but there il Moth.
ing BETTER at any Price.
Fully Guaranteed.

Here is homemade remedy that
takes hold of a cough almost instantly,
and will usually conquer an ordinary
cough in "a hours. This recipe makes a
pint-enough for whole family. You
couldn't buy as much or as good ready
made cough syrup for $3.50.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
" pint of warm water, and stir 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTHY in pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. This keeps perfectly
and has a pleasant taste-children like
it. Braces up the appetite and is
slightly laxative, which helps end a
cough.
You probably know the medical value
of pine in treating bronchial asthma,
bronchitis, spasmodic Group and whoop-
ing cough. Pinex is a most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway
white pine extract, rich in guaiacol and
other natural healing pine elements.
Other preparations will not work in
this combination.
The prompt results from this inexpen-
sive remedy have made friends for it in
thousands Of homes in the United States
and Canada, which explains why the
plan has been initiated often, but never
successfully.
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,

Discovery Comes
After 5000 Years
Buffalo House Takes the Taste Out
of Castor Oil.

Since the earliest days of medicine
chemists have been trying to take the
taste out of castor oil.
The secret has at last been discov-
cred by Spencer Kellogg & Sons of
Buffalo, who are among the largest
producers and redners of vegetable
oils in the world. They have removed
the castor oil taste, and smell, too,
purifying the oil and making it better
and more effective. Nothing is added
to it, nothing good taken out Of it.
kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is
tasteless in the true sense. Even chill
'dren take it easily, for all the nau-
seating effect is removed.
Sold now at all drug stores in Csc.
and soc. sizes. Ask for Kellogg s
Fasteless Castor Oil by name, for
there are several preparations Of cas-
tor oil, mixed and favored, which are
not tasteless and do not act as we'll.
The public Is protected by the trade
mark, green castor leaf, bearing the
signature, Kellogg's.
Made only by Spencer Kellogg &
Sons. Inc, Buffalo, N. Y, refiners of

was that of Fred w. rhrowbridge.

Thomaston. Hon. Arthur S. Little

TONER
Opening the argument for the petit
tioner, Mr.. Littlefield presented a let
ter, which he read, and which asserts
that Throwbridge Is a man of honor
able instincts, and that the Indictment
which alleges he maintained a nuis-
ance is not warranted from the facts.
A letter from Warden Ham Of the
State prison stated that Hotel Knox
was one of the best in the town of
Thomasten. sztg
Counsel for the petitioner claimed
he did not want whole pardon and
that his client was willing to pay fine,
but Jail sentence imposed. upon a
man of Mr. Throwbridge's character
would be disgrace.
A petition, signed by the prominent
men of Thomaston, asked that Throw
bridge be relieved from serving a jail
The petition stated the facts did not
warrant such a sentence, and that the
hotel was run in an orderly manner.
The counsel does not claim Throw
bridge did not sell liquor, but he did
sell no more than any other hotel.
Citizens of Thomaston say the hotel
has been spoken of in the highest

Three Pardons Are Heard
Wednesday by Council.
George McGrace Pardoned A.
Ter Serving | IL Years.
Joseph Williamson Allowed $500 to
Cover Expenses at Hospital Hearing.

The Governor and Council met
Wednesday and three petitions for par
don were heard. The first two were
not granted, namely: That of Fred w.
Throwbridge of Thomaston and Fred
M. Blackington, an alderman Of Rock
land.
These two pardons were unique be-
cause of the fact that neither of the
petitioners had served sentence. and
both cases were pending decision of a
higher court. Throwbridge's case:
A prominent citizen of Thomaston, so
the story goes, while in an intoxicated
condition, visited the Knox hotel and
created disturbance with the result,
1t Is claimed, that he was put out by
the landlord, Mr.. Throwbridge. Be
cause of the fact that he was not al
lowed to remain in the hotel the citi-
zen was so offended that it is alleged
that he made complaint with the re-
suit that at the September term of the
supreme court for Knox county in 1913
Throwbridge was indicted for main
tanning a nuisance. He was &rraign-
ed pleaded not guilty, filed a demur-
rer and exceptions and was sentenced
to pay a fine of 5000 and costs and to
serve 30 days additional in Jail. This
was Throwbridge's first offence and
the sentence was imposed by the pre-
siding justice, Warren c. Philbrook of
Waterville

during the State investigation was al

Best Treatment for
All Complexion Ills

(ETom Womans Tribune)
I'll tell you my panacea for all COM
plexion troubles. If the skin be color
less, sallow, muddy. over-red, IL it be
rough, chapped, blotchy, or pimply.
there's nothing that will so surely over
come the condition as ordinary merco-
lized wax. The wax literally takes off
a bad complexion-absorbs the dead and
near-dead particles of surface skin. so
gently, gradually, you experience no in
convenience at all. A new complexion
is then in evidence, one so clear, spot
less. delicately soft and beautiful, you
look many years younger One ounce
of this wax, procurable at any drug
store, will rejuvenate even the worst
complexion. 1t is smeared on like cold
cream before retiring and removed morn
ings with warm water The mercolized
wax habit is healthier and more econo-
mical one than the cosmetic habit
II the skin be wrinkled or creased,
bathe it daily in a solution made by dis
solving an ounce of powdered saxolite in
a half pint witch hazel This acts i'm
mediateiy, affecting even the deepest
wrinkles.-Elsie Desmond.-Adv.

The Second Case.

The petition for the pardon of Fred
NJ. Blackington-a Rochland alderman
was next heard.
1t is claimed that on March 26, 1918,
he attempted to extort money from E.
L. Hewitt of Rockland, accusing him
Of selling liquor and saying to him:
II want my graft and if you don't
pay me before three days l will put
you out of business AT the April
term of the supreme judicial court for
Knox county, Blackington was tndfct-
ed under Sec. 35, Chap. 119 of the Re-
vised Statutes. He was convicted and
sentenced to serve four months in the
county Jail. Exceptions were taken
and the case went to the law court
where it was argued at the June term
in Portland A few months later the
law court handed down an opinion
overruling the exceptions. The exc
cution Of the sentence of four months
was stayed pending the decision of the
law court and if the Governor and
Council do not intervene, Blackington
will be in line to begin his sentence
at the January term of the supreme
court which is now in session at Rock
land
Blackington asks that n pardon be
granted him by the Governor and
Daily Kennebec journal., 1914-01-22

Councii Inr tne following Reasons:
First-Because through unfortunate
circumstances he has been found guilty
of an offence that Is not true In fact.
Second-Reca,ise through the techni-
calities Of the law, he was not able to
show in court his innocence by any
evidence at his command; that the
State was able to show apparently evil
dence to satisfy the jury of his guilt.
while on his part. he was excluded
from showing evidence proving his In
nocence and honest motives.
Third--Because in all that he did he
was endeavoring to the best of his
ability to secure evidence to stop graft
which was reversed against him by
mis- accusers.
Fourth-Because he has always tried
to be a good citizen so far as he him
self knows how to be and does not
countenance blackmail or graft.
Fifth-Because If he be made to suf-
fer this punishment he will be pun
ished wrongfuliy. and there Will be
miscarriage OF justice and stain
placed forever upon his name and
character.
Hon. Merritt A. Johnson. formerly
county attorney for Knox county, is
the counsel for the petitioner.
Counsel for the petitioner declared
his clients conviction was the result
of a frame He deplored the fact
that rigid enforcement Of the rules OF
evidence did not allow the defense to
fairly prove the innocence OF Black
inGton.
Letters from opposing candidates for
aldermen said that they believe Black
ington the victim of a ''frame-up. All
smoke of Blackington's platform, and
that his interference with graft caused
his own conviction.
Petitions signed by 400 asked the
pardon of Blackington.
"If the man is guilty, four months
isn't too much, but l claim 1t Is a
combination of circumstances, de-
clared the attorney.
Explaining the remark alleged 10
have been made by Blackington, wit
nesses said it was only his uncoutn
way of attempting to ascertain where
and who was the head Of the acknoWi-
edged graft system in Rockland-
Edward K. Gould. solicitor of Rock
land, appeared before the Council in
opposition to the granting of the par
don. The opposition claims that Black
ington used his Office as means o1
forcing payment of graft.

Afternoon Session.

The petition for the pardon of George
l.. McGrace convicted Of assault on
Florence Mabel Fear was presented
to council by Samuel w. Gould of
Skowhegan. McGrace was pardoned
by the Council after a short executive
session.
The petition for the pardon says:
THAT the ends of justice and hu-
manity require that said George Nc
Grace be no further punished by Il
longer detention in pursuance, of said
sentence"
The young man at the time Of his
conviction and commitment was the
sole support of an aged father and
mother. Since his commitment. he
having served about year and a half
of three-year sentence, his mother
has died, leaving the aged father to the
care of one daughter. The circum-
stances surrounding the alleged crime
and the severe sentence were claimed
by the petitioner to be not in accord
with the seriousness of the crime
which he WAS alleged to have COM
mitted.
For the most part during the after
session. Coroner N. ,Gatz Jackson OF
Bath appeared before the Council In
the matter of bill of s1133.73 for the
expense of the trial and conviction of
the murderers of Karsan Souleyman,
found murdered in Topsham. The bill,
at present has not been paid and ii
is the purpose of the coroner to find
out who is legally the debtor. The at
torney- general expressed the opinion
that the State was not and inferred
that the town of Biddeford, where Sou
leyman might possibly be considered
q resident is the legal debtor.
