DRIVE At SHOPS
FOR RED CROSS


with final reports lacking and .
total OF 233 subscriptions for the
East Moline chapter Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross recorded, workers
here today started in at the shops.
The slow report for East Moline
has been attributed to the inactiv-
ity Of some OF the city's most Inn
pOrtant industries.
However, Red Cross workers be-
gan today with a determination to
clean up the shops. When full re-
ports from the First and Third
wards are received ]. F. Ryan,
chairman Of the drive in East MO-
line, says that the record will be
considerably boosted.
The drive is supposed to end
Thursday, but East Moline work
ers refuse to give up until after
Sunday. The campaign will con-
tinue as extensively as it has thus
far. Hundreds OF East Moline men
are out of work because OF the par
tial closedown OF shops, but an ef-
fort is being made to enlist those
who are able.

Hosu to Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home
Has Nc equal for prompt results.
'x ssd PUG s.s : "o w. sb @ Pfspafe'

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip-
lions and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have q remarkable
effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
Of pine and syrup. The Syrup" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To-make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 21s ounces
of Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill up
with homemade sugar syrup. Or
you can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you make a full pint
more than you can buy ready-made
for three times the money. 1t is
pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of .
cough or cold in 4 way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight. or may be persist
emily loose from the formation of
phlegm. The cause is the same-in-
famed membranes-and this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop it
usually in "a hours or less. Splen-
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse-
ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract. and is famous the world over
for its prompt effect upon coughs.
Beware of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "2Hs ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.
