syrup. This gives YOU, at a cost of only
"a cents, full pint of really better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made for

directions with PineX. 1t keeps perfectly
and tastes good.
1t takes hold of the usual cough or
chest cold at once and conquers it in "a
hours. Splendid fOrA whooping cough,
bronchitis and winter coughs.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
and heals and sOothes the inflamed mem

1t also stops the formation of phlegm in
the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end
ing the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound OF genuine Norway pine extract,
combined with guaiacol. and has been
used Tor generations to heal infamed
membranes OF the throat and chest.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "212 ounces of Pinex." and
don't accept ANYTHING else. A guarantee

THE NEW BEATTTUDES"

Some fellow, Disguised with the
arch and ingenious brutality of Bern
hardt's book on militarism, writes as
follows:
'Ye have heard how in old times it
was said: Blessed are the meek, for
they shall inherit the earth; but l say
unto you, Blessed are the valiant, for
they shall make the earth their
throne. And We have heard men say,
Blessed are the poor in spirit; but |
say unto you, Blessed are the great in
soul and free in spirit, for they shall
enter into Nalhalla. And ye have
heard men say, Blessed are the peace
makers; but 1 say unto you, Blessed
are the makers. for they shall
be called. if not the children of Jahve,
the Children of Odin, who is greater
than Jahve."
Isn't that rather fine sarcasm, and
doesn't il fit in with the history of the

merce commission. The latter body,
il is understood. holds that the rail-
roads have failed TO make good their
case. The figures show that there has
not even been the temporary emer-
gency claimed by the carriers.
For the month Of August. for in

pears that the gross revenues Of all the
railroads in official classification ter
ritory decreased SS,OOO.OOO, as com
pared with the figures for the same
month last year. but the net revenues
of these same railroads increased
more than 100000, demonstrating
that the loss in gross revenue has
more than met by economics.
More important than this, however,
the commission holds that the rail-
roads are asking the commission TO do
an act which they have no power I'M
der the law to do.
The railroads plead that the foreign
war has cut their earnings and they
want To tax the people TO make up the
loss. This is entirely different cues
ton from giving the railroads power
TO charge fair" rates. The latter is
the only power possessed by the com
mission. They hold that the railroads
in common with other business organ
izations and individuals ought to take
care Of their own depleted revenues
and do what other people do-wait
for the return OF normal conditions.

WHAT Is CIVILIZATION?

The answer to that question would
require more time. thought and space
than we have at our command; but
what civilization is not is so cogently
expressed in the following paragraph
from the pen of an anonymous writer
in a current magazine that we ind
pleasure in its reproduction:
Civilization cannot be saved
through barbarism. 1t is consequently
as absurd paradox TO speak, in any
but a metaphorical sense, of a war
for civilization as ii is to speak OF
civilized warfare Yet every nation
involved in the European war is
gravely Offering this impossible eX-
cuse. A truly civilized nation is one
that can maintain peace, even with
such barbarians as are to be found
in Europe, without the aid of an army
or navy"
A nation which believes in and en-
cages in war cannot be said to be
civilized.-New York World.
