Tells HOtU to Stop a
Bad Cough
Surprising results from this famous
old homemade syrup. Easily
prepared and costs little.

II you have severe cough or chest
cold accompanied with soreness, throat
tickle, hoarseness, or difficult breathing
or if your child wakes up during the
night with Group and you want quick
help, try this reliable old homemade
cough remedy. Any druggist can sup
ply you with 21a ounces of Pinex
Pour this into pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup. Or you can use clarified
molasses, honey, or corn syrup, in
stead of sugar syrup, if desired. This
recipe makes a pint of really remarkable
cough remedy. 1t tastes good, and in
spite of its low cost, it can be depended
upon to give quick and lasting relief.
You can feel this take hold of a cough
in a way that means business. 1t loos-

membranes that line the throat and bron-
chial tubes with such promptness, ease
and certainty that it is really aston
ishing.
Pinex is special and highly conceu-
trated compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, and is probably the best known
means of overcoming severe coughs,
throat and chest colds
Thereare many worthless limitations of
this mixture. To avoid disappointment,
ask for "2h ounces of PineX" with full
directions and don't accept anything else.

POINDEXTER SAYS
HE is CANDIDATE
Senator From Washington Is Seek.
ing Republican Nomination for
Presidency in 1920.

Washington, Oct. 26.-Miles Poin-
dexter, Senator from Washington, to-
night made announcement of his inten.
tion to seek the Republican nomina-
tion for the Presidency in 1920 The
action of the Senator was novel in
several respects. Not only did he es.
tablish the precedent of announcing
his own candidacy, but also of pre-
senting platform of principles and
policies on which he still run for the
nomination and upon which, he de-
clared, he would stand if elected Pres
ident.
This platform is embraced in a
signed statement in which Mr.. Poin-
dexter declares his opposition to So
eialism, Bolshevism, and to all per
sons or parties who attempt to upset
or destroy the present form of govern
ment. Declaring that there can be
no compromise with anarchy Sen
ator Poindexter makes it plain that
his platform is to be regarded as a
declaration of war upon any or all
labor unions or labor leaders who op-
pose the Government The threat of
the railway brotherhoods to strike
and Tie up the transportation systems
of the nation is denounced by him as
an attempt at government by terror
for the benefit of a special class"

HAVE YOU A BAD BACK

You.


Does your back ache, night and

Hinder work; destroy your rest?
Does it stab you through and through
When you stoop or lift or bend?
Then your kidneys may be weak.
Often backache is the clue.
Just to give you further proof,
The kidney action may be wrong.
If attention is not paid
More distress will soon appear.
Headaches, dizzy spells and nerves,
Uric acid and its ills.
Make the burden worse and worse.

Reach the inward cause at all;

HOUSE REPASSES
DRY" BILL OVER
WILSON s We To
Senate Believes 1t Also Can
Repass Bill
VETO WAS UNEXPECTED
congressman Greene and Dale Voted
to Override Presidents
VETO WAS UNEXPECTED

Washington. Oct 2S.-An effort to
have the Senate act on motion to
repass the prohibition bill over the
Presidents veto was made soon after
Senate convened today. Several
Democrats objected and long par
liamentary wrangle ensued. The de-
bate was progressing when the Sen
ate recessed to receive King Albert.
Washington, Oct. 27-President
Wilson unexpectedly vetoed the pro
hibition enforcement bill today and
within three hours the House had re-
PASSED il over his veto by vote of
176 to So. The total vote was bare.
ly more than majority OF the entire
membership
The President refused TO sign the
bill because it included the enforce
ment of wartime prohibition.
The objects OF wartime prohibition,
the President said in his veto had been
satisfied, and "sound public policy
makes clear the reason and necessity
for its repeal"
1t would not be difficult the Presi-
dent held, for Congress TO deal sep
arately with the two issues
The veto hit Congress like crack
of lightning. The House, getting on
its feet again, deserted its leaders,
who wanted to defer consideration un-
til Thursday so as to round up all
the dry members. But the drys swept
into the chamber and showed there
was an overwhelming sentiment
among them to give the government
ample weapons for dealing with the
liquor traffic, now outlawed through
out the land.
Nobody had really professed TO know
that the President would veto the bill
Republicans and .emocrats alike and
the countless multitudes that had
sorrowfully watched the passing of the
bars-thought it would become law
without his signature.
Attorney General Palmer, it was
said, had declared it constitutional.
With repassing of the law by the
House, and the prospect OF the same
thing happening in the Senate, hope
of the big wet spell" that would run
over the Christmas season vanished
into thin air.

REHABILITATION is COMPLETED
Wartime -Prohihition VIII End by
Proclamation.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-War-time
prohibition will be ended by presi-
Dental proclamation Immediately af-
ter the senate ratifies the German
peace treaty, it was said today at the
White House. Officials explained that
the wartime act provided it should be
annulled by the President when peace
had been declared and when army
and navy had been demobilized Con-
gress was informed yesterday in his
message vetoing the enforcement bill,
which the house passed over the Veto
that rehabilitation had been com
pleted.
The White House announcement
clears up any doubt as to whether
war would be ended legally with the
ratification of the German treaty
Some officials had expressed the opin-
ion that the war emergency would
not pass until the Austrian treaty had
been passed upon by the senate.
