This homemade syrup does the work in a hurry. Easily pre-
 pared, and saves about $2.

You might be surprised to know that the best thing you can use for a 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 ordinary coIph or chest cold in 24 hours. Tastes pleasant, too-children like it-and it Is pure and good.
 Pour 21s ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle; then fill it up with plain granu;; lated sugar syrup. Or use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup, if desired. Thus you make full pint-a family supply, but costing no more than a small bottle of ready-made cough syrup.
 And as a cough medicine, there is really nothing better to be had at any price. It goes right to the spot and gives quick, lasting relief. It promptly heals the unframed membranes that line the throat and air passages, stops the annoying throat tickle, loosens the Dhleqm, and soon your cough stops en- tireIY.

GREAT HEALTH
 CAMPAIGN NOW WE'LL UNDER WAY

Many Bridgeport people who have been thinking of making themselves q Christmas present of d new home, have found that the government houses at Cfrassmere and Old Mill Green meet their ideas of what a home should be better than any other property in the city.
 They have discovered that these houses are the last cry in modern couveniences and are without the costly friIIs which are of no use to the occupants and which only give extra work to the owner
 They can be bought by making a small payment of 10 per cent. of the purchase price down and the balance is held by the government who only require the payment of one per cent. a month. These payments are con- tinued for a period of eleven years and then the purchaser owns the property free and clear of all incum- brances
 Nothing could be fairer than this. If the purchaser sets aside the amount which he would have to pay for his own rent and adds to 1t the amount received from the other ten ants he will have enough on hand to make these monthly payments with out any further savings.
 It is a substantial present which will increase in value as the years roll around, and without any doubt at the end of the eleven years, or sooner, the purchaser will be able to realize profit of $15OO or S2,OO0 if he wishes to dispose of his pur- chase.

 TOMORROW

The December event of the We'd nesday Afternoon Musical club will take place tomorrow afternoon at The stratfield ball room when Anna Fitziu. the beautiful prirna donna of the Chicago opera company, and Lionel storr, basso-cantante, will be heard The artists will be assisted by Rudolph Gruen.
 Anna Fitziu has won national rep utation both here and abroad. She is acclaimed not only a priTna donna of rare quality and beautiful woman, but also q line student.
 She has mastered the art of con centration; not an easy task for woman of even more than average mental capacity If Miss Fitziu is attracted by a particular study as an auxiliary or side issue to her dear art with which she is so much con- carned. the species of zeal 1t in spired in her not frequently causes her to lay all minor interests aside, in order to hasten the period of her mastery over the thing desired ard desirable.
 With the clear-headedness and aS- curacy of method that might haea distinguished an experienced phllot- ogist Miss F4tZiu bent all her ene4- .gies to the acquisition of a more then superficial acquaintance with the Spanish language, which had so fas- cinated her after she took up her rea- idence in the Iberian capital, Mad rid.
 It was not long before she could translate with ease and completeness
 
 from the English into Spanish and vice versa, and her efforts were in variabIy strivings in the direction of a comprehensive idioTn. Her audience in the Spanish Royal Opera House were agreeably sur priged by the familiarity the young American prima donna showed with their soft and beautiful tongue. and amazed at the facility with which she constructed idiomatic and fluent phrases.
 Her beauty of course had made a sensational impression, an impression re-enforced by the captivating qual- itv of her voice and acting upon the sentimental and iInpu1sive Spanish population. Her facile conquest Of their beloved language capped the climax of their delight, and 1t was not long before the handsome Senor1ta from over the seas had won their faithful devotion and unstinted ad- mira ton.
 Mr. Storr has a pleasing voice of wide range and sings with intelligence and skill. He. has but recently come into great prominence as sterling young artist and his resonant voice is heard to fine advantage to both solo and ensemble numbers.
 The program that has been prepar- ed for the evening follows:
