tried. Usually stops the ordinary
4ough or chest cold in "a hours. Tastes
pleasant, too-children like it-and it
IS pure and good.
Pour 2R ounces of Pinex in a pint
bottle; then fill it up with plain granu-
lated sugar syrup. Or use clarified
innlasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead
Of sugar syrup, il desired. Thus you
make u full pint-a family supply
but costing no more than a small
bottle OF ready.made cough syrup.
And as 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 inflamed membranes that
line the throat and air passages, stops
the annoying throat tickle, loosens the
phlegm, and soon your cough stops en-.
tirely. Splendid for bronchitis, cronp.
hoarseness and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is highly concentrated com.
pound of Norway pine extract, famous
for its healing effect on the mem.
branes.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "21s ounces of Pinex"
with directions and don't accept anv-
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

This special meeting for mem
bers and nonmembers is called to
secure suggestions as to the work
which the Municipal League can do
during the coming year, which will
be of the most benefit to the bor-
ough of Steelton.
You are living in Steelton now;
you may have to live here for sonH
time to come, even if you do not
want to. Are you not interested in
making Steelton as comfortable and
as healthy place to live in as pos
sible? Even if you are not inter-
ested yourself, you had better come
to the meeting to protect your own
interest. Your neighbors may sug-
gest that your house needs painting
+ that there is no reason now why
your backyard should not be clean
ed up or that the property you own
in the lower end of the borough is
a disgrace to present civilization.
Don't be a slacker-whether you
really have the good of the town at
heart or not, come to the meeting
so that we will all know that when
you go away from home, you are
not ashamed of the place from which
you register"

Women Sewing Garments
For Needy Children Here

Regardless of the inclement
weather, large number of women
of the borough turned out to-day to
sew garments for needy children of
the borough at the home of Mrs. C.
A. Alden, Harrisburg and Pine
streets. Every Tuesday afternoon
until further notice women of the
borough who assisted the Red Cross
in sewing during the war are re-
Quested to meet at Mrs. AldeFs 8
home to sew material into garments
for the needy children. There is an
urgent need for clothing for chill
dren between the ages of and 1S,
and failure of residents to contribute
clothing has compelled Red Cross
workers to take immediate action to
alleviate the suffering of the needy
children.

WOMEN, SAVE $40
BY DRY CLEANING

Save five to ten dollars quickly by
dry cleaning everything in the home
You can dry clean, brighten and re-
new children's coats, suits, caps
woolens, Swiss, lawns, organdie and
chiffon dresses, kid gloves, shoes,
furs, neckties, ribbons, satins, lace,
silk waists. draperies, rugs-every-
thing that would be ruined by soap
and water.
Place a gallon or more of gasoline
in a dishpan or wash boiler, put in
the things to be cleaned, then wash
them with Solvite soap. Shortly ev-
erything comes out looking like
new.
Nothing fades, shrinks or wrink-
les. No pressing needed. Do not
attempt to dry clean without SOL
vite soap. This gasoline soap is the
secret of all dry cleaning. A pack
age of Solvite soap with directions
for home dry cleaning costs but a
few cents at any drug, grocery or
department store. Dry clean out of
doors or away from flame.

Cho- -Cho, Health Clown,
Appears in Borough

Hundreds of children from all the
schools in Steelton and Highspire
saw and heard Cho-Cho, the famous
health clown, at the Steelton High
School auditorium this afternoon.
Cho-Cho was brought to Harris
burg by the nti-Tuberculosis So
ciety of Dauphin County to conduct
health meetings for children and to
aid them in selling Red Cross
Christmas Seals. Because of the rec
ord sales made, each year by the
school children of Steelton and
H:ghspire, it was decided to give
them an opportunity to see the
clown.
Cho-Cho told the children what
to do to be in good health so that
they would not need treatment to
prevent tuberculosis and other dis
eases which boys and girls often
suffer from because of malnutrition.
Early reports indicate that the sale
of seals in the two boroughs will
break all records.
