How to Have the Best Cough
Remedy and Save 81 by
Making lit mt Home

Cough medicines, as a rule contain a
large quantity of plain syrup. A pint of
granulated sugar with " pint of warm
water, stirred for minutes, gives you
as good syrup as money can buy.
Then get from your druggist 21z ounces
Pinex 600 cents WORTH pour into pint
bottle and fill the bottle with sugar
syrup. This gives you, at cost of only
81 cents, a full pint of really better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made for
$2.50-a clear saving of nearly 81. Full
directions with Pinex. It keeps perfectly
and tastes good.
It takes hold of the usual cough OF
chest cold at once and conquers it in "a
hours. Splendid for whooping cough
bronchitis and winter coughs.
It's truly astonishing how quickly il
loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough
and heals and soothes the infiamed mem
branes in the case of a painful cough,
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 for generations to heal inf1amed
membranes of the throat and chest.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for 50 " ounces of Pinex, and
don't accept anything else. A guarantee
of absolute satisfaction, or money prompt
ly refunded goes with this preparation

GOVERNMENT LINES REPORT.
Roads i'm New South Wales Have Bad
Financial Year.

Government railways of New south
Wales fell S113,622 short of making
their interest charges during the year
ended June 80, 1915. This deficit re-
suited Notwithstanding the addition
of over a million dollars to revenues
from rate increases determined upon
a wear ago. Without this assistance
the deficit would have reached almost
S1,2OO,OOO, according to an analysis
made by the Chicago bureau of rail-
way statistics.
Like the private railways of the
United States the government roads OF
New South Wales have felt the bur
den of advancing wages, cost of ma
terials, and interest, but unlike the
private railways of the United States,
the government roads have enjoyed in
the past year liberal increases in rates,
10 per cent in freight and from to
SO per cent in passenger, to offset the
rising level of expenses.

Willard on Rates.

Daniel willard, president of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, lately dis
cussed transportation service and
rates in an address before Dartmouth
college. He said:
The most serious question before
the people today is not whether they
are going to have cheaper freight
rates in the future, but rather will
they be able IN the future to obtain
adequate service at any rate? The
railroads may be depended upon to
furnish adequate transportation for
the growing commerce and at reason
able rates, providing only they feel
assured that reasonable r9 ties will be
permitted, and providing also that the
cost of operation be not unnecessarily
augmented by unwise legislation, as
has been the case in the past, or by
forced wage increases not justified by
existing conditions"

FORTUNE IN OLD IRON
Junk Dealer of Slater Sells Scrap
For 100000.

from Ames: Robinson" the report
says, has been making the state a
net work of trails while gathering
his tribute from every attic and ash
heap, is about to don real glad rags
and instead of driving his sorry old
nag and dilapidated rig will occupy

passenger touring car, smoke per

feur, all because the fortunes OF war
have smiled upon him.
For years, almost beyond remem.
brance, he has been going up and
down the state with his cry of Rags!
Old Iron! Bottles! He has pinched
and saved but has continued his trips
rain or shine, winter or summer. He
watched his scrap pile grow from a
small beginning to colossal proper
tions, throwing into 1t all kinds and
description OF metals. At times
through the long years he was tempt
ed to sell but always held on in the
hope of better prices. The increase
of that heap finally became an obses
sion with him. At length 1t outgrew
his place and he rented additions
ground Still he labored and waited
for the right price, adding to 1t day

BIG PUBLIC FARM SALE
Joe Fuller Realizes $13, 500 From
Stuff Offered at Auction.

One of the biggest farm sales ever
held in this part of the country was
that of J. H. Fuller on his farm five
miles northeast of Fremont. The
sales took place last Thursday and
about three hundred buyers were on
the premises when the sale started at
II O'Clock. w. H. Cooper OF He'd
rick, was on the block and he sold
the 375 head of stock in about three
hours. The total amount of the sale
was $13,540, and Joe did not sell the
best team as one of the animals got
hurt the day before the sale. The
best team sold brought $40, year,
ling filly brought $110 and a sucking
colt was sold for $68. One cow brought
sos, and the go head of cows averag
ed around $40 a head. A coming year
ling bull sold for ST., the steer calves
averaged $35 head and the heifer
calves $33. Yearling heifers brought
$45 a head. The % head of brood sows
run from $40 to $25 a head and the
shoats averaged $500 a piece. 1t was
big sale and Joe is we'll satisfied
with it. He is a believer in advertis'
ing and carried his sale ad in seven
different papers, besides having large
bills and sale cards distributed. He
says it pays to advertise a sale in good
shape, provided you have the right
kind of stuff to offer, and Joe certain
ly had it.

Twsnty-ons. New Humane

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Fifteen football
players were killed in games or in
practice during the 1915 season,

against st. Louis university. In tack
ling the st. Louis full hack he dived
head first and his head struck against

dislocated and vertebrae fractured.
Among the victims was Floyd Rollins,
IL years old of Austin, Tex. He was
injured In scrimage ami died as the
result of the bursting of a blood yes.
sci in his head.
1t is a notable fact that members Of
the we'll trained teams OF the big uni
versities went through the season
with only minor injuries. But in sew
eral cases, however, the players were
members of college teams where the
physical condition OF athletes is look
ed after by experienced men and
where the coaches are well acquainted
with the rules.
The toll this year is the same as
last despite the fact that the men
who drew up the rules made an eff
fort to eliminate some of the rough
features. Penalties were provided for
"roughing'' for running into a man
after the whistle is blown or knocking
down the secondary offense after the
whistle blows. But In many independ-
ent and high school games these rules
were not enforced. '.. w. H..
