ference. W G. McAdoo director gen

The finest cough syrup that money
can buy, costing only about one.tifth as
much as ready-made preparations, can
easily be made up at home. The way it
takes hold and conquers distressing
coughs, throat and chest colds will
really make you enthusiastic about it.
Any druggist can supply you wit,
Pour this into ae pint TT bottle ote' and iii
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
ready for use. The total cost is about

pleasant tasting remedy. 1t keeps per-
fectly.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lungs-loosens
and raises the phlegm,, ,soothes and heals
the infamed or swollen throat mem
branes, and gradually. but surely the
annoying throat tickle and dreaded
cough will disappear entirely. Nothing
better for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,

Washington. March 7.-Stausticians
who made comparisons today of the
trail hitters and collections during
Billy Sundays eight weeks campaign
here, which closed Sunday night have
figured it out that Washington is a
tight wad town.
The total free will Offering that went
to Mr.. Sunday was Sl6,3S2.32 far be-
low the average of cities of Washing
tons size in which the evangelist has
conducted meetings. One statistcian
figured il out that since last Tuesday
night, when ushers began preliminary
collections for the freewill offering,
up to the close Sunday night, there
were 100, 600 at the meetings. The SIS
coo odd, therefore, represented an
average free-will offering OF sixteen
cents person, not much for a town
growing rich on war protiteer!ng.
But another statistician figured il
out that if the free-will offering was
below the average, religion also was
cheaper in Washington. Salvation here
was computed al the rate Of 81 cents a
soul, based on the total of 16,S3S trail
hitters. The average for all the cities
in which Sunday has conducted meet
ings is put at $125 soul SO Wash
ington claims at least one record out
of the Sunday meetigs.
Results in Other Cities.
New York led the country both in
trail hitters and offering. There were
65.942 Of the saved and $4,000 in OF
ferings. Boston was second in trail
hitters, with 4S,963, but its collection Of
s50,52S, was below Philadelphia $751;
1876 on total Of 41,724 trail hitters.
Buffalo stood next with 32,25S trail
hitters, but its s42,204 in collections
was below Pittsburgh which gave
s46, coo with 25,797 and Detroit, which
gave s46,097 with 27,192 trail hitters.
Des Moines is credited with 10000
trail hitters and a collection of $4,000.
Washington with swollen war time
population about five times that of Des
Moines should have given about $4,000
trail hitters and $4,000 in a free-wiIl
offering to equal Dies Moines' record.

Knitting for the soldiers and helpless
Belgian children is not confined to

knitting work Is equal to that of many
grown women and the amount Is re-
markaole. The little fingers have be-
come mighty proficient IN handling the

to spare her hours from chlldren's

are older In years can afford to give
little more of their time to this COM
