German journalists in Berlin, accord.

He asks them to cooperate with him.
After asserting in what high esteem
he held the press the Admiral said:
In these times the government, the
press and the nation must hold t..
gether with one aim to win the wal.
II these factors do not hold together
we shall be beaten.
The post of general secretary IS by

consideration to the gentlemen OF the
press. You will hear nothing but facts
from me, but / cannot always give all

MORE VOLUNTEERS
Fol-. AURSL TRAINING
F0irmOnt is Going to Fall
Behind in This
Campaign.

Two more applications for places in
the student nurses class were made
yesterday at enlistment headquarters
which are being maintained daily at
local Red Cross rooms in the City
building. The new applicants are Miss
Madge SwiRer. Of this city, and Miss
Iva Costello. o. Watson.
Miss Swigcr Is a practical nurse
and has been for some time engaged in
nursing in a prominent Fairmont fam
liy. She Is. however. anxious to pre-.
pare for active service. Miss Costello
has had no training but sigaisiod her
intention Of beginning training rs
soon as she could hear from her ap-
p.ication which will be forwarded to
national headquarters by Mrs. c. o
Henry. chairman OF the nursing com.
mitiee OF the Red Cross under whose
direction the campaign Is being con-
Quoted
After tomorrow the enlistment Of
flee will be closed unless otherwise
announced The office has been open
for the past week from until 4
o'clock and will continue today and
on Saturday
One thousand nurses a week for
eight weeks is the goal which Gen.
eral Gorgas has established, the 1000
nurses TO be trained nurses ready for
active service. Fairmcnt has so far
had very few applicants from this
class and probably will fall short Of
expectations.
The student class enlistment has
been more gratifying and it has been
stated that this is also an important
field as the heed for nurses will not
ceae should the war end tomorrow.

Make Your Qson Cough
Syrup and Saue Money
Better than the rcndy-made kind.
Easily prepared at home.

The finest cough syrup that money
can buv, costing only about one-fifth
as much as readv-made preparations,
can easily be made up at home.
Any druggist can supply you with
~. ounces of Pinex 600 cents worthy.
Pour this into a pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain graHulated sugar
syrup. The total cost is about IS
cents and gives you a full pint-a
family supply-of most effectuaI,
pleasant tasting remedy. 1t keeps
perfectly.
It's truly astonishing how quickly
it acts, penetrating through every air
passage OF the throat and lungs
Ioosens and raises the phIegr1,
soothes and heals the inflamed or
swollen throat membranes, and
gradually but surely the annoying
throat tickle and dreaded cough will
disappear entirely. Nothing better
for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,
whooping cough or bronchial asthma.
Pinex is special and highly COM
centrated compound of genuine Nor
way pine extract, and is known the
world over for its prompt healing
effect on the throat membranes.
Avoid disappointment by asking
YOUR druggist for "zIz ounces of
Pinex" with full directions, and don't
accept anything else. A guarantee
of absolute satisfaction or money
promptly refunded goes with this
preparation.
