The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Remedy
Easily md Chcaply Made at
Home. Saves You S2.

This plan makes a pint of cough
syrup--enough to last family long
time. You couldn't buy as much or as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost in
stant relief and usually conquers an
ordinary cough in "a hours. This is
partly due to the fact that it is slightly
laxative, stimulates the appetite and
has an excellent tonic effect. It is
pleasant to take-children like it. An
excellent remedy, too, for whooping
cough, spasmodic Group and bronchial
asthma.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
u pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in pint bottle. and add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours. :.
Pine is one of the Oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural healing elements. Other
preparations will not work IN This
combination.
The prompt results from this mixture
have endeared it to thousands OF house
wives in the :1nited States and Canada,
which explains whv 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,
send to The Pinex Co. TT. Wayne. Ind.

OPEN LESSON

The open lession by the Fletcher music
students proved of unusual interest to a
large and enthusiastic attendance. Miss
Mary Olmstead received her visitors and
conducted most charmingly the beautiful
study games and intricate musical prob
lens. 1t was all very simple and de-
lightful to see the tiny little boys and
girls and older children, too, forming
scales and chords, showing ear training
and dictation as easily and happily as
though in real enjoyment.
To one who has long been a delighted
spectator of this method in music, the
advance of the pupils was most interest
ing. The pupils showed real knowledge
of the hard why and how Of music
There was nothing superficial nothing
forced, and nothing for show.
