Good Old HOne-Mdde
Family Cough Remedy
Much Better than the Ready
Made kind-Easily and
] Cheaply Prepared.
;15152S1S1S2S2S1S2S152Sl52S1s1

If you combined the curative proper
ties of every known "ready y;made,, cough
remedy, you would hardly haye in them
all the curative power that lies In TINS
simple 'home- made" cough syrup which
takes only few minutes to prepare.
Get from any druggist 21a ounces OF
Pinex $50 cents worth J, pour 1t into q
pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain
granulated sugar syrup. The total cost
is about 81 cents and gives you q full
pint of really better cough syrup than
you could buy ready-made for $3.50.
Tastes pleasant and never spoils.
This Pinex and sugar syrup prepara-
tion gets right at the cause of a cough
and gives almost immediate relief. 1t
loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty
throat tickle and heals the sore, irri-
tated membranes that line the throat,
chest and bronchial tubes, so gently
and easily that it is really astonishing.
A days use will usually overcome the
ordinary cough and for bronchitis,
Group, whooping cough and bronchial
asthma, there is nothing better.
Pinex is most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, combined with guaiacol and has
been used for generations to break up
severe coughs.
To avoid disappointment, be sure to
ask your druggist for "212 ounces OF
Pinex" with full directions, and don't
accept anything else. A guarantee OF
absolute satisfaction OF money prompt
" refunded, goes with this preparation.

the jesse L. Lasky production The
Evil Eye" which will be seen on Thurs-
day with the beautiful Blanche Sweet
in the stellar role.
This thrilling story by Hector
Turnbull was founded upon an occur
renee in one of the vineyards In Cal
ifornia's famous wine producing coun-
try. In the photodrama as in the
actual incident from which the story
was written, woman doctor was sent
to the Mexican settlement to suppress
diphtheria outbreak among the lab
orers and their families. In order 10
examine the throats of her patients
the doctor wore one of the familiar
electric lamps on her forehead: sew
eral of the people examined by the
physician were beyond recovery and
shortly died. The superstitious Mex
leans promptly decided that they had
been killed by "the evil eye" on the
doctors forehead and promptly deVls-
ed plan to capture the woman and
burn out her eyes. How the plan is
frustrated through the cleverness or
the owner of the vineyard, and how
he and the fair physician are fnally
united, is brought about In number
of unusual scenes.

a bomb raid. All night long, some
times until 2 or 3 o'clock in the morn
ing, we rehearsed that raid just as
carefully as a company of star actors
would rehearse a play. At first there
was disposition to have sport out
of it,
'Well," some chap would say, rolling
into the hay all tired out, Il got killed
six times tonight S'pOse it'll be eight
times tomorrow night"
One man insisted that he had dis
covered in one of our aerial photo
graphs a German burying moueS, and
he carefully examined each new pic
ture, so that he could be sure of find
ing the dough and digging it up. The
grave and serious manner of our Off
GERS, however, the exhaustive care with
which we were drilled and, more than
all, the approach of the time when we
were to 'gO over the top" drove all
sport out of our minds, and ! can say
for myself that the very thought of the
undertaking as the fatal night drew
near sent shivers up and down my
spine.
A bombing raid, something originat-
ed in warfare by the Canadians, is not
intended for the purpose OF holding
ground, but to gain information to do
as much damage as possible and to
keep the enemy in a state of nervous
ness. In this particular raid the chief
object was TO gain information. Our
high command wanted to know what
troops were opposite us and what
troops had been there. We were ex-
pected to get this information from
prisoners and from buttons and papers
off of the Germans we might kill. 1t
was believed tlat troops were being

BUSCH" and a couple of seconds later,
when some prominent landmark of
Dinkiebusch would disintegrate with a
loud detonation, some one else would
remark:
''Trains arrived!"
About the only amusement we had
during our long stay in the front
trenches was to sit with our backs
against the rear wall and shoot at the
rats running along the parapet. Poor
Macfarlane, with a flash of the old
humor which he had before the war,
told rookie that the trench rats
were SO big that he saw one of them
trying on his greatcoat. They used to
run over our faces when we were
sleeping in our dugouts, and I've seen
them in ravenous swarms burrowing
into the shallow graves of the dead.
