THE QUICKEST, SIMPLEST
COUGH REMEDY
Easily and Chcaply Made at
Home. Saves You So.


This plan makes a pint of cough
syrup-enough to last a family a
long time. You couldn't buy as
$3.50.
Simple as II is. II gives almost
instant relief and usually conquers
an ordinary cough in "a hours.
II is slightly laxative, stimulates
the appetite and has an excellent
tonic effect. 1t Is pleasant to take
children like II. An excellent
remedy, too, for whooping cough,
spasmodic Group and bronchial
asthma.
Mix one pint of graduated sugar
with " pint of warm water, and
stir for minutes. Put az ounces
Of Pinex tfifty cents WORTH in a
pint bottle, and add the Sugar 'syr-
up. 1t keeps perfectly. Take a
teaspoonful every one, two or three
hours.
Pine is one of the oldest and best
throat membranes. Pinex is a most
valuable concentrated compound Of
Norway white pine extract, and IL
rich Ia guafacol and other natural
healing elements. Other prepara-
tons will not work in this com.
bination.
The prompt results from this
mixture have endeared It to thous-
ands OF housewives in the United
States and Canada, which explains
why the plan has been Initiated
often, but never successfully.
A guaranty of absolute satisfac-
tion or money promptly refunded,

for you. IT not, send to The Plnex

'sWe Women Can Have Children
and Career, Both Blanche Bates
BY Nixola Greeley-Smith

Copyrighted, 1914, by the News
paper Enterprise Association.)
WHICH should a woman chose
babies OR art-a great talent
or q great love
Some extreme feminists of to-
day believe the real reason why
the work of men In art and music,
poetry and science, has been so
much greater than that of women
Is because every year until the
last century thousands of femin-
inc geniuses have been fed to the
Minotaur of Marriage. They
think that, confronted by the
choice of child or a career, the
mother instinct has always
prompted the woman artist to
choose the child, and so the Gre
alive genius of feminity has been
sacrificed to the continuance of
the race.
There are still others who
think 1t is perfectly possible for
a woman to be a great artist and
a mother at the SAME TIME.
Blanche Bates Creel is one of
these. You know her better as
Blanche Bates, though she was
married two years ago to George
Creel, writer and former police
commissioner of Denver, and is
now the mother of Frances Vir-
ginia Creel, two months old.
(which should woman
choose baby or an art?" /
asked Blanche Bates Creel after
had admired the baby's photo
graph-Frances Virginia Is really
a remarkably engaging infant.
"She should choQse-BOTH!"
Blanche Bates smiling answered.
after she had addressed fond
speech, laden with cutest "cun-
ningest" and other mother-ad-
jectives to the baby's picture.
Honestly, this talk of woman's
having to choose between mother
hood and a career is bunk-bunk

CHAPTER LXVU.

Dick had left me in a huff be-
cause I could not see his way of
dealing with his sister Mollie.
Mollie was still with us, although
she was going out to a little dane
ing party which / had ascertain
ed was to be carefully chaperoned
by three of the girls mothers.
When she came down to break
fast she was a little unhappy be-
cause l insisted that she should
30 and come in the street car.
I called the man she was GO
ing with and told him this, ex-
claiming that l did not approve of
girls riding around alone In taxis
with young men.
Mollie thought this foolish.
After l had talked with her, how
ever. she saw my position. l
said to her: "Mollie, dear, I do
not think you would do anything
that is the least bit wrong, but l
don't want toput you in apy posi-
tion where you would have to be

II guess you are right, Margie,
for, although l know hardly any
of the boys mean any harm, 1t is
hard to make them understand
that they are not to put their
arms about you and 'snuggle' up
when the taxi goes over a bump"
"That's just it, my dear. We
cannot ignore that natural feel
ing which comes to all youth.
Beauty is ever a sex appeal. If
you like anyone you want to EN-
brace that one, and not only
youth but those of maturer age
have made the great mistake of
thinking that proximity spells af-
finity and In consequence have
often made irretrievablc wreck
