see a hundred feet from the train
Nearing Savannah l noticed the yell

approach of spring. Between Savan-

Don't Merely "Stop" a
=. Cough


A cough is really one of our best
friends. 1t warns us that there is
Inflammation or obstruction in dan
xerous place. Therefore, when you
get bad cough don't proceed to
dose yourself with lot of drugs
that merely stop" the cough tenn
porarily by deadening the throat
nerves. Treat the cause-heal the
infamed membranes. Here is a
homemade remedy that gets right at
the cause and will make an obsti-
nate cough vanish more quickly than
you ever thought possible.
Put "a ounces of Pinex $50 cents
WORTH in pint bottle and fill the
bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup. This gives you a full pint of
the most pleasant and effective
cough remedy you ever used, at a
cost of only 81 cents. No bother to
prepare. Full directions with Pinex.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for "2H ounces of Pinex,"
and don't accept anything else. A
guarantee OF absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. The Pinex Co.,

Peter looked puzzled. Getting a drink
it doesn't bother him II he has to go

THAT is what you were doing when

just cutting antics for fun" cried
Peter. Il never saw such a funny way
Of getting a drink before"
II don't care how funny it is as long
as / get the water" replied Tommy.
But let me tell you, Peter, 1t isn't
everybody who can get a drink this
way. 1t takes lots of practice to learn
how"
"I'm glad I don't have to stand on
my head to get a drink" said Peter,
and both laughed at the very idea.

The whole appearance Of ones figure

it may be stitched down at the top or

are pressed, according to how slender
