H0tD To Make the
Quickest, Simplest Cough
Remedy
Much Better than the Ready
Made Kind and You save ".
Fully Guaranteed

This homemade cough syrup is now
used in more homes than any other cough
remedy. Its promptness, ease and cer-
tainty in conquering distressing coughs,
chest and throat colds, is really remark
able. You can actually feel it take hold.
A days use will usually overcome the
ordinary cough-relieyes even whooping
cough quickly. Splendid, too, for bron-
chitis, spasmodic Group, bronchial asthma
and winter coughs.
Get from any druggist 21s ounces of
Pinex (50 cents worth) pour it in pint
bottle and fill the bottle with plain granu-
lated sugar syrup. This gives you--at
cost of only 81 cents-a full pint of better
cough syrup than you could buy for $3.50.
Takes but few minutes to prepare. Full
directions with Pinex. Tastes good and
never spoils.
You will be pleasantly surprised how
quickly it loosens dry, hoarse or tight
coughs, and heals the inlamed mem
branes in painful cough. 1t also stops
the, formation OF phlegm il, the, throat
and bronchial tubes, thus ending the per-
sistent loose cough.
Pinex is a most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, rich in guaiacol, which is 80 heal
ing to the membranes.
To avoid disappointment, be sure and
ask your druggist for .21a ounces Pinex,"
and don't accept anything else.
A guarantee of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. The Pinex Co., TT.

nation of the steel fragment picked up
on the Allan liner Hesperian, which ma
val experts believe was part of torpe-
do.
The German government in a note has
denied that the Hesperian was torpedoed
by a German submarine.
State department officials were yester-
day awaiting details of the seizure of the
American steamer Hooking, taken to
Halifax by a British cruiser, after hav-
ing been intercepted on voyage from
New York to Norfolk in ballast. Ameri-
can Consul Young at Halifax notified the
state department that the Hooking had
reached there Sunday night and that de-
tails of the seizure would be reported
later.
The Hooking formerly was the Danish
steamer Gronland, which was granted
American registry in October. She is
owned by the American Trans. Atlantic
Steamship company, incorporated in Della
ware, and is one of the 10 vessels pur-
chased by Richard Wagner for that CON-
pany. There was delay in granting the
vessels American registry while the
question of whether German capital was
used in their purchase was investigated.
The Hooking is one of As vessels on

Secretary Lansing and Robert P. Skin
Ter, American consul general at London,
conferred yesterday on American trade
citations with Great Britain, one of the |
ssues being the question of the trans |

Secretary Lansing indicated that moth,
ng had developed to prevent Mr.. Skin
er's return to his post and that Great
britain had made no representations
gainst him.
Statements made recently by Mr. Skin.

ers were questioned in London.

The Champion Corn Grower of the World

Raising l4l bushels of corn on an acre
at an expense of only Sl3.73 for rent
seed, horses, labor, and husking helped
make Willard Zeller, an Iowa farmer
the champion corn grower of the world
according to an article in the current
issue of Farm and Fireside, the national
farm paper published in Springfield,
Ohio. And when much of that corn has
longer ears, bigger kernels, and smaller
cobs than any other corn, the record is
complete.
This is how Mr.. Zeller raises the cham
pion corn:
"Very early he came to understand
that the one biggest thing in the corn
business was good seed, and systemati-
cally began to develop it. A germina-
tion test made made of large number
of ears, and from among them 10 ears,
all of which tested 100 per cent perfect
and strong. were selected. Three hundred
kernels from each Of these 10 ears were
planted, and the corn from each ear was
planted in separate row. All grades
of quality were represented, the best
ear yielding lis bushels 20 the acre and
The poorest yielding only 81 bushels.
But they were not satisfied with one
test. They were anxious TO verify their
experiments, and planted corn from the
same mother ears under similar condi-
tions the next year. The results were
also similar. The ear which was best
the first year was best this year also,
and produced a yield Of III bushels,
and the poorest ear was again poorest
with a yield Of 80 bushels.
The third year, under similar condi-
tions, there was the same great differ
once in quality among these ten origi-
nal ears from which the test was being
made, the first was again first with ia
bushels, and the poorest was again.
poorest with "a bushels.
