Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and cheaply made ct homo,
but It beats them all for
quick results.

Thousands of housewives have found
that they can save two-thirds of the
money usually spent for cough prepare
tions, by using the well-known old recipe
for making cough syrup at home. ID
is simple and cheap but it has no equal
for prompt results. 1t takes right hold
of cough and gives immediate relief,
usually stopping an ordinary cough in
24 hours or less.
Get 2A ounces of Pinex from any
druggist. pour it into a pint bottle and
add plain granulated sugar syrup to
make full pint. If you prefer, use
clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead OF sugar syrup. Either way, it
tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts
a family long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lunes-loos-
ems and raises the phlegm, soothes and
heals the membranes, and gradually but
surely the annoying throat tickle and
dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing
better for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,
Eoarseness or bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a special and highly concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, known the world over for
its healing effect on the membranes.
Avoid disappointment by asking your
druggist for "2Ks ounces of Pinex' with
full directions and don't accept ANYTHING
else. Guaranteed to give absolute salts;
faction or money promptly refunded

ed States" says Mrs. de Veyra. II do
not mean to infer we are perfect. for
we are not. My people have most OF
the defects, / suppose, that other hui
mans have, but at the same time we
are far from the people that many
Americans have been made to believe.
Not only are we Christian people,
but our race has history that We are
not ashamed of. Throughout the Phil
ippine Islands the people are now
working earnestly to improve them
selves and their conditions so they will
be prepared to take over their own af-
fairs. We all love America for giving
us a chance to help ourselves and for
having promised us our independence,
which is one Of the dearest desires of
the entire citizenship of the islands,"
To American women whose ideas of
Filipinos have been founded on Sun
day supplement descriptions of wild
tribes, Mrs. de Veyra's gentle manner
and evident culture have been a reve-
lation. She is sought by women's clubs
because of her charming manner as an
impromptu speaker ON the subject
nearest her heart-the women of her
country.
At a recent Washington gathering
she gave in perfect English concise
account Of the work of woman's club
in Manila which supplies milk to the
babies of the poor and trains mothers
to care for their young children. She
told of another woman's club which
has branches all over the Philippine
Islands and which maintains day
nurseries for the children of the work.
ing women, provides Christmas cheer
for the lepers, the insane and the con-
victs, and gathers data to influence leg
islation for the benefit of Filipino Wa-
men and children.
The four little De Veyras, shown in
the picture, having attended the pub
lie schools in Manila, slipped right into
the same grades in the schools of
Washington. Even little Mary, the
baby of the family, speaks three lam
guages-her native tongue, Spanish
and English.

Permit us to present the De Veyra
family.
The Hon. Jaime G. de veyra is the
Resident Commissioner from the Phil
fppine Islands to the United States and
has just been elected to a second term
of three years. AS Resident Commits
sioner he has a seat on the floor OF
the American Congress, the privilege
of taking part in debates, although no
vote.
Commissioner de Veyra has an inter-
esting wife and four bright Filipino
Riddles. The De Veyra family, individ-
ually and collectively, constitute the
best argument as to the tact and capa-
bilities of Filipinos that the Philippine
Islands have in Washington.
The commissioner is 100 per cent
Filipino, a Visayan, and is one of the
foremost leaders of the party in power
IN the islands. During American occu-
patton he has been successfully gov
ernor Of his province, member OF the
Philippine legislature, cabinet men,
Der and executive secretary of the
islands.
Like many statesmen of the Philip
pines he was originally newspaper
man. He was one Of the founders of
Ell Nuevo Dia of Cebu, the first Fill
Pine paper published advocating Phil
ippine independence The paper came
under the censorship of General Nc
Intyre, and on the appearance Of the
first number the editors were left in
the singular position Of seeing every
prominent article blue penciled.
Mrs. de Veyra, like her husband, is
a "live wire" in the Philippines cause.
She is the best known Filipino in
America. She is an interesting public
speaker and is constantly giving Illus
trated lectures at women's clubs and
other gatherings. Mrs. de Veyra is a
publicity bureau all in herself and has
put the Philippines on the map, so far
as the women folk of Washington con-
gressional circles are concerned.
II find that the Filipino people have
been much misrepresented In the Unit
