Mother MADE, Quick
Acting Cough Syrup
Should be Kept Handy I'm Every
Home-EasiIy Prepared and
Costs Little.

Mothers, you'll never know what you
expensive, quick-acting cough syrup and
try it. Children love its pleasant taste
and nothing else will loosen a cough or
chest cold and heal the infamed or
swollen throat membranes with such
ease and promptness It's. equally as
good for grown-ups as for children.
This splendid cough syrup is made by
pouring 21a ounces of Pinex so cents
worth into a pint bottle and filling the
bottle with plain graduated sugar
syrup. This gives you a full pint-a
family supply-of much better cough
remedy than you could buy ready made
for S2.50-a clear saving of 81.
The moment it touches the inf1amed,
cold-congested membranes that line the
throat and air passages, the healing be-
gins, the phlegm loosens, soreness
leaves, cough spasms lessen and soon
disappear altogether, thus ending q
cough quicker than you ever thought
possible. Hoarseness and ordinary
coughs are conquered by it in. "a hours
ing cough, spasmodic Group, bronchial
c.5thma or winter coughs.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine extract,
combined with guaiacol and is famous
the world over for it's quick healing
effect on the membranes.
Beware of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "21a ounces of Pinex" with
directions and don't accept anything
else. Guaranteed to give absolute salts

AMIDST APPLAUSE
War Strain Evident i'm Both
Congressional Houses.
Campbell of Kansas Surely
Right About Congress.

Washington, March amidst APP
plause from various parts of the
chamber, the house this afternoon
adopted a rule for consideration of
the armed neutrality bill by unan-
imous viva voce vote.
A war strain ran beneath the pro-
ceedings in both the house and SEN
ate.
Campbell of Kansas Protests.
American ships will be protected
on the Atlantic, peaceably if possible,
but by force of arms if necessary to
assure them freedom of the seas,
Chairman Flood declared, in opening
the house debate.
Representative Campbell, Republi-
can, declared congress has mo right
to delegate war making power to the
president" and that congress should
stay in extra session if this emergency
exists"
eff we go to war; he said. I'VE
shall have gone to war to enable our
ships to drain the country of food
and munitions in the face of food
riots"
Shortly before the house took up
the armed neutrality bill, debate was
in progress in the senate on a resolu-
ton presented by Senator Lodge in
quiring as to the authenticity of the
published text of the German letter
seking to align Mexico and Japan
against the United States The
resolution was referred to the commit
tee on foreign relations and the SEN
ate then took up discussion of the
naval bill with constant references to
the international situation.
After more than an hours consider
alton, the senate foreign relations
committee this afternoon agreed to
report out the Lodge resolution in
Lodge.
senate VIII Pass 1t.
That it would pass the senate APP
peared certain.
The committee. however, removed
the La Toilette amendment asking
how long the government had pos
sessed the Zimmerman letter.
Chairman Stone in insisting that it
be referred to his committee, indi-
Gated that he desired to learn the
presidents mind before taking action.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
suggested that if the president him
self had presented the information of
Germany's plotting to the senate, it
might have been construed as equiva-
lent to a request for war action by
congress AS the information was first
published he held that should the
president now officially give the full
facts, the action could not be con-
strued as a request for war, unless
such a request should be specifically
expressed.
Majority Leader Kitchin, holding
the president has the power anyway,
with or without the enactment of
thi; bill" to create a situation that
will force war, announced he would
support it.

KILL The RECALL
Make Tt Dead Letter
i'm Second Glass Cities.
Measure Slips Thru Upper
House Without Opposition.

The sacred recall has been tam
pered with. In a moment of mental
alteration, or when the senate was
shooting thru bills with only what
consideration was possible from listen
ing to the "once. over by the reading
clerk, senators passed a bill COM
pletely multiplying the recall in its APP
plication to cities CT the second class.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Smith, of CowIey county, and was to
cover a situation in Arkansas City
where two candidates for mayor have
almost damned up the Arkansas riv-
er with the mud they have thrown at
each other.
Following the passage of the Smith
bill, and it has been passed by the
senate without opposition, the recall
is a dead letter in second class cities
such as Arkansas City. Every voter
who signs a petition asking for the
recall of an official must go before an
officer authorized to administer an
oath and swear that he voted for the
candidate. that he knows the contents
of the petition and that he wishes to
have the official recalled.
\ Stringent Law.
Twenty-Five per cent of the persons
who voted for and aided in II e cleo
ton of the city official must do this.
Under the old law the voter who
signed petition for recall, by so do
ing, stated that he voted for the Of
fetal sought to have recalled and that
he knew the contents of the petition.
But he did not have to sign an OATH
to that effect. One person on each
petition was required to make oath
that the signatures were bona fIde,
but that was all the swearing re-
quired.
Under the amended act. if 1000
people voted for and elected a can
didate for mayor, for instance. 500 of
them would have to go individually
before an oath-making officials and
swear to statement to the effect that
thew voted for the official.
A vision of 500 voters or any num-
Der of voters in amy town doing that
is not easily raised.
