The German note, or order of war,
as the new policy went in force to-
day, makes it impossible for any Am
erican of courage not to be resent
full and to stand firmly with the pres
ident should he feel compelled to act
with decision, using the mighty pow
err vested in him to uphold the honor
Of the American flag. Our govern
ment has repeatedly been liberal with
Germany but the limit seems to have
been reached. .

1000 FIRES FROM 4 NEW
FORM on CNREIaESSNESs

a new form Of fire peril Is coming
into prominence as a cause 81 much
destruction. and its fires are 50 direct
" associated with carelessness that Il
has becn deemed necessary to issue a
special warnlne 10 the people Of the
United States. Because OF their CON
venience. small electric devices, such
as pressing irons. curling irons, toast
lers. electric pads or blankets. electric
steriiizers or heaters arc now To BE-
found In almost every community "
these were used with proper care tho
danger would be negligible. but. un.
! fortunately. a proportion OF their
users does not realize the peril OF lea,-
inE them in circut when not in use, In
such eases these devices tend 90 he-
come ~overheated. %wheroupcn they are
likely to set fire 10 anything combusti-
bic with which they are In contact.
Most OF these fires are small bus

Fires Of this class furnish a special
peril 10 life. being most frequent n
dwellings and often breaking out at
might. A Characteristic example T.
that in which an electric pressing iron
Is left upon the ironing board, with
the current turned on and then for
gotten. In such a case the fire may
not occur until some hours later. The
burning Of the residence Of Iohn Wan
amaker, several years ago. was due

That this form of hazard IS already

from the statistics. For example, H.,

Thousands of people normally healthy

a persistent hanging-on bronchial cough
and making life disagreeable. It's so
needless-there's an old homemade
remedy that will end such a cough
easily and quickly.
Get from any druggist "22 ounces of
pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain
granulated sugar syrup. Begin taking
Ii at once Gradually but surely you
will notice the phlegm thin out and then
disappear altogether, thus ending q
cough that you never thought would end.
It also promptly loosens dry or tight
cough, stops the troublesome throat
tickle, soothes the irritated membranes
that line the throat and bronchial tubes,
and relief comes almost Immediately.
A days use will usually break up an or
binary throat or chest cold, and for
bronchitis, Group, whooping cough and
bronchial asthma there is nothing
better. 1t tastes pleasant and keeps
perfectly.
Pinex is a most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, combined with guaiacol and Is
used by millions of people every year
for throat and chest colds with splendid
Tesults
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for aga ounces of Pinex" with
full directions and don't accept anything
else. A guarantee of absolute satisfac
tion or money promptly refunded goet
with this preparation. The Pinex Co.
