MAKE TINS AND TRY IT
FOR COUGHS
This Homemade Remedy
has NO Equal for Prompt
Results.

Mix one pint Of graduated sugar
with " pint of warm water. ana
stir for q minutes. Put 2x ounces
OF Pinex (fifty cents WORTHY in a
pint bottlei then add the sugar
syrup, Take a teaspoonful every
one, two or three hours.
This simple remedy takes hold of
cough more quickly than any
ping else you ever used. Usually
,conquers an ordinary cough inside
'iof ~ hours. Splendid, too, for
fwhooping cough, spasmodio GROUP
and bronchitis. 1t stimulates the
appetite and is slightly laxative,
which helps end cough.
This makes more and better
cough syrup than you could buy
ready made for $3.50. 1t keeps
perfectly and tastes pleasant.
Pinex Is a most valuable concen-
trated compound OF Norway white
pine extract, and 10 rich In Ruaiacol
and other natural pine elements
which are so healing to the mem
branes. Other preparations will not
work in this plan.
Making cough syrup with Pinex
and sugar syrup Cor strained honey
has proven SO popular throughout
the United States and Canada that
It Is often Initiated. But the old.
successful mixture has never been
equaled
A guaranty of absolute satisfao-
tion, or money promptly refunded,
goes wieh this preparation. Your
druggist has Pinex or will get IL

The Confessions I

Mother Waverly went to sleep
late in the afternoon, and the
nurse whom Mollie and had
sent for made her appearance.
Mrs! Waver1y combatted against
a nurse all day. She said she
would not let anyone take care
of her husband but herself; that
she was perfectly capable of
directing Mollie and me and we
ought to be ashamed of our
selves not to want to take care
of Dad.

A.-The court will have to
decide that. L am glad to say
our judges are becoming wiser
and more Just. IL a mother can
take better care of the child
than the father she will likely be
given 1t. II they are not divorced
She would better take the matter
up with the Juvenile Judge.
Dear Miss Grey: l am

Miss Grey: He writes to

you think he does?
MISS CORNTASSEL.
A.-Never even having seen
the young man, IL is impossible
for me to say; but 1 do know il
would be very silly to die IL he
loves someone else. II you would
look upon these experiences as
q preparation for something big
ger and better you would be wor-
thy of better things.
To get down to the fine point
of the question, IL is that little
fox jealousy that you should get
rid Of, and you can only do that
by putting something good I'm Its
place. Suppose you get your
mind to the place where you will
be willing for him to marry the
other girl II best for all con-
cerned; then, IL he does it will
not hurt you; n not, you are bet
ter prepared for what follows.
Try that one little thing of get
ting rid of your fault, and you
may be surprised at results.
Dear Miss Grey: I am a
young lady 10 years of age,
and engaged to young
man 20. My people object
to our marriage because
they do not like him. He is
perfectly clean young
man and everyone says he is
Just elegant.
Shall l marry him against
my folks wishes, or do as
they want me to?
YvoNE.
A.-As you are undecided what
is best 70 do, why not wait
awhile? BY law you are Of age;
but IL II worth while looking at
question from all sides. II it
Is simply prejudice on your par
ents' part, IL IL groundIess; but
II they should be 1onger-sighted

II now than later. Take time to

/ am only 1T, and make
$40 a week, which give
to my parents. They threat

ANXIOUS GIRL.
A.-Go to the protective

A., or to the Juvenile Judge,
Either will see that you get a
nice family with whom to board.
DO not allow yourself to be
persuaded by anyone to marry
against your own wishes. Your
rights will be upheld by the law
IL you cannot make your parents
see it in any other way.
Dear Miss Grey. I have
written you several times,
but guess ! have always been
lucky enough to have my
letters find the waste bas-
ket, for l have never seen
one in print.
Can you tell me how to
make a cheap wood stain,

Also. | would like to know
II a man and wife should
separate, and one go into
another state, how long
would he be required to
stay in the new state before
they could get divorce?
Thanking you.
A FARMER BOY.
A.-Lamp black and benzine
make very cheap stain; but any
stain mixed with Oil is better.
or course the lamp black makes
a black stain. Yellow ochre or
burnt sienna make desirable
stains.
The law as to the length of
residence required before filing
for divorce varies I'm different
states.
l am sorry you have been dis
appointed in not getting replies;
but your letters have been very
lengthy, and one of them In my
judgment did not seem just the

PROMISES AID IN
SECURING BETTER
RIVER CONDITION
Congressman Clyde Tavenner
to Help Andalusia in
Fight for Harbor.
GIVEN A FINE RECEPTION
States Attorney Thompson Flags
George Richmond in One Of Best
Rallies of Campaign.

When Congressman Clyde II. Tav-
enrer at the democratic rally at Anda-
! lusia last evening promised to aid
that community in its effort to secure
adequate harbor facilities. he was
cheered to the echo. He stated that
he hoped to make a personal investi-
CATION of the situation in a launch in
order that he might have frst-hand
| information relative to what is re-
quired to better the river conditions
in that locality.
Congressman Tavenner was given
an enthusiastic reception. AS soon as
he arrived, prominent citizens took
up with him the question of prevent
ing the government engineers from di-
verting the channel OF the Mississippi
to the other side of the river as threat
ened and asked him if he could not as
sist them in their efforts to have the
dam cut away in order to increase the
volume of water at that point and
provide a better harbor With his
characteristic eagerness to serve his
constituents, Congressman TaVenner
gladly consented to do this and in his
brief address at the rally declared he
wanted this side of the river ito get
all that is coming to it."
Should Support Wilson.
National issues were then dis
cussed, in which the congressman
showed that the record which the pres
ent administration has made entities
it to a vote of confidence from all
patriotic citizens, regardless of party
utilization. He said Woodrow Wilson
had refused to play politics with his
office and commended him for refusing
to sign death warrants for some
body's sons" by sending troops into
Mexico. Personally, he declared, he
would not be willing that one boy
from his congressional district should
have his life's blood taken away for
Villa, Carranza or the whole country
of Mexico.
For Common People.
He then outlined the fight he has
made for the government manufacture
of munitions of war and he was loudly
appIauded when he said he expected
to continue his efforts in behalf of
the Rock Island arsenal. He said he
was not the express companies can
didate because of his advocacy of the
parcel post; that he was not the bank
ers' choice because he was heartily in
favor of the postal savings bank; that
the big manufacturers did not like him
because of the war he has made
against the installation of the inhu-
man Taylor system in the arsenals of
the country. but that he was the can
didate of the common people and that
it was this class that he desired to
serve and yhO7e suffrage he asked.
