How to Have the Best Cough
Remedy and Save 81 by
Making 1t at Home

Cough medicines, as a rule contain ,
large quantity of plain syrup. A pint of
granulated sugar with " pint of warm
water, stirred for minutes, gives Won
as good syrup as money can buy.
Then get from your druggist 2H ounces
Flnex 100 cents worth pour into a mint
bottle and fill the bottle with sugar
syrup. This gives YOU, at a cost of onlv
54 cents, full pint of really better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made for
S2.5O-.a clear saving of nearly %. Full
directions with Pinex. 1t keeps perfectIv
and tastes good.
It takes hold of the usual cough or
chest cold at once and conquers it in "a
hours. Splendid for whoopinp cough
bronchitis and winter coughs.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough
and heals and soothes the inflamed mem
branes in the case of a painful cough,
It 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 ounces of Pinex," and
don't accept ANYTHING else. A guarantee
OF absolute satisfaction, or money prompt
" refunded, goes with this preparation.

MONEY IN SPUDS
Raising Potatoes i'm Western
Kansas Would Be Profitable.
Results of Experiments Made at
Tribune Station.

Potatoes may be made money
crop even in the extreme western part
of Kansas if they are given proper at.
tention. 1t is to be regretted that
only a few people in western kansas
attempt to grow potatoes in their gar
dens, believes Charles E. Cassel, su-
perintendent of the Tribune suosta-
ton.
At Tribune, when potatoes were
planted on wheat land or on falloW,
good yields were usually secured. In
1912. nine varieties of potatoes test,
ed at Tribune yielded from 81 TO 81
bushels an acre. In 1913 the potato
crop averaged 33 bushels, while In
1914 an average of so bushels an acre
was secured. The Irish cobbler has
proved to be the best potato for west
ern Kansas, averaging 81 1-3 bushels
for the past three years at the station.
None of these potatoes were irrigated
Plant Them Deep.
Fairly deep planting is necessary
in the west,' says Mr.. Cassel, be
cause of the drouth encountered. 1t
pays to cut a large seed piece so as
to give the young plant good re-
serve food supply
irrigated conditions, the water should
be applied judiciously if the best re-
suits are to be obtained. One irriga-
ton before seeding is a good plan.
The crop should not be irrigated
again until the potatoes begin to
form. Further irrigation need be ap-
piled only as the crop demands. Once
or twice will generally be sufficient
unless the natural rainfall is slight.
Fine Eaters.
'I believe that from so to 100 BUSH
els of potatoes an acre may be grown
in the extreme western part of Kan
SaS,'' said Mr.. CasSel. 1.-The potatoes
we have grown are of fine eating
quality and are readily sold on the
market. There is a good field for the
selling of seed potatoes to the irri-
gated sections. Irrigated seed is not
desired by farmers raising irrigated
potatoes. 1t is we'll to secure potato
seed from the drier parts of the state.
THE varieties tested and their
yields last year were: Irish cobbler,
so bushels an acre; early Ohio, 81
bushels an acre; triumph, 20 bushels
an acre; rural New Yorker, 1 8 BUSH
els an acre."-Kansas Industrialist.

WIFE'S DOG WORTH $500.
Ottawa Man Praises Canine, Even to
the Tax Assessor.

Ottawa, Kan, March 30.-"My
wife's dog? Well, she wouldn't take
a thousand dollars for him. You'd
better put down his value at not less
than $780," said w. H. Martin, better
known as Dad" Martin, well known
local sportsman.
And that is just what E. E. Smith,
deputy assessor for the city of Ottawa,
did. Cutie the pet dog of Mrs. w.
H. Martin, manager of the Underwood

highest priced dog in Ottawa. At
least the assessment figures will show
that. Cutie goes on record as be-
