The Quick Way to
Stop a Cough
This homemade syrup does the wori
Z in a hurry. Easily prepared,
and saves about S2.


You might be surprised to know
that the best thing you can use for
severe cough is a remedy which
is easily prepared at home in Just
a few moments. It's cheap, but for
prompt results it beats anything else
YOU ever tried. Usually stops the or
dinary cough or chest cold in "a
hours. Tastes pleasant, too-chil-
dren like it-and it is pure and good.
Pour y. ounces of Pinex in a
pint bottle; then fill it up with plain
sranulated sugar syrup. Or use
clarified moiasses, honey or corn
syrup instead of sugar syrup, if de-
sired. Thus you make a full pint-a
family suppIy-but costing no more
than a small bottle of ready=nade
cough syrup.
And as a cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be had at
any price. 1t goes right to the spot
and gives quick, lasting relief. 1t
promptly heals the infiamed men,=
branes that line the throat and air
passages, stops the annoying throat
tickle, Ioosens the plIIe2rn, and soon
your cough stops entirely. Splendid
for bronchitis, Group, whooping
cough and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is highly concentrated
compound of Norway pine extract,
famous for its healing effect On the
membranes.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "zIl ounces of Pinex"
with directions and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

Not a House Left Standing.

Returning to the lower levels of
the mountains by way of the Asiago
plateau. the correspondent saw fur
ther evidence of the devastation of
war. There is not a house left stand
ing in the town Of Asiago. There
also is much suffering among the peo-
pie throughout the mountains, who
are foodless and have been robbed
of their possessions. By a miracle
the rigorous Alpine winter has not
yet set in and these people say: The Sc
ravages are necessary. They remain
glorious memories of our salvation"
The problem of feeding the multi
tude of prisoners is grave. but the
Italians are making a superhuman
effort. They also are treating the
prisoners as well as possible. It is
common to see hardy Italian troops
generously toss their own bread ra-
tions to the Austrians, saying laugh
ingly: Tomorrow is another day.
We will eat then.'

scribed by the correspondent of the
Times at italian headquarters:
Toward the evening of October 2s, .
he says, IAN Austrian officer was seen
coming from the. enemy trenches
close to Serravalle. above Ala, in the
Adige valley. It became evident at
once that the white flag was genuine,
and Italian officers went forward to
meet him.
"The officer, who was a captain. de-
clared that he had come to discuss
the conditions of an armistice. Taken
to neighboring command and ques-
toned, he was found not to have
any authoritative papers, and was
sent back with a message that more
representative and duly accredited
mission should be sent if the matter

retreat, are without orders and go
travelling here and there like droves

camps.
The correspondent saw at Pereire
the general of the 9th Austrian
Division motoring along in his own
car. He said he was going home,
having been given special permission.
In the meantime his troops have been
abandoned.
The Italian officer with the cor
respondent told what he considered

his motor car in a little garden over
night and two Austrians nearby were
ordered to watch it. They responded
