The Best Cough Syrup is Homemade. Here's an easy way tO save g. and yet have the best cough remedy
 you ever tried

You've probably heard of this we'll known plan of making cough syrup at home. But have you ever used 1t? When you do, you will understand why thousands of families, the world over, feel that they could hardly. keep house without 1t. It's simple and cheap, but the way it takes hold of q cough will quickly earn it permanent place ln your home.
 Into a pint bottle, pour 21S ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or, if desired, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes good. never spells, and gives. you a full pint of better cough remedy than you could buy ready-made for three times its cost.
 It is really wonderful how quickly this homemade remedy conquers a cough-usually in 24 hours or less. It seems to penetrate through every air passage. loosens a dry, hoarse or tight cough, lifts the phlegm, heals the mem- branes. and gives almost immediate re- lief. Splendid for throat tickle. hoarse- ness, croup, bronchitis and bronchial asthma.
 Pinex is a highly concentrated com pound of genuine Norway pine extract, and has been used for generations fol throat and chest ailments.
 To avoid disappointment ask your druggist for "2H ounces of Pinex" with directions. and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satis- faction or money refunded. The Pinex Co.,, Ft. Wayne, Ind.

Regular Matinee Today at the Davis.

It is doubtful if Elsie Ferguson has
 ever been more agreeably cast in
 screen play than she is in Counter
 felt, her picture at the Davis theatre
 today. Oudia Bergere has crowded
 nito the film practically all the ele-
 ments that belong in the successful
 photo-dFama. There is a well-de- veloped action leading easily into climaxes that produce the requisite thrill, more or less mystery envelopes the story, the love interest is well
 sustained, and Miss Ferguson is stunning gowns. The picture has been fashioned adroitly to fit the capabil- it;es of the star. This is far from meaning that Counterfeit doesn't force Miss Ferguson to the full limit of her dramatic prowess. There ara moments in the picture which call upon her to run tine full gamut of the emotions. As usual. she rises al- ways to the occasion The same atmosphere of high-bred "class' that pervades all the Ferguson films ia again apparent.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE

The Pierian Chautauqua Circle in ap-
probation of the great friendship for the
organization shown by Deputy Warden
]. w. Backland during his official life
here, ordered floral tribute in the shape
of circle of white flowers trimmed with
lilies and roses. As a silent messenger
this offering carried the love of every
Circle member to the bereaved wife and
daughter. Warden Sullivan, in appre-
citation of this sentiment had all the men,
bers of the Circle present in the Deputy's
Office when the floral circle was un-
wrapped and as they gazed upon it's
beauty, thanked them as an organization
and as individuals, on behalf of the family
of the deceased and the officials of the in
stitution for the beautiful tribute.

Their workmanship is poor. They do not
do their best, and the result is that at the
end of the year they are still working at
the same job and at the same old wage.
Friendshib: The man who wants to
advance in this world must make friends.
In business, in political, in social life the
man who has the most friends is the man
who forges ahead. There are some peo-
pie who underestimate the value of friend
ship especially in industrial and business
life. "If l please the boss, l don't care
what the other fellows think of me; it
doesn't matter. 1 can get along without
them," says a man. But can you? Many
a mans success is hinged on having a
friend to say good word for him at
job" said business man recently, "be-
cause every one of his fellow employees
spoke well of him." The man got that
particular position because he had friends.
1t is good idea to make friends, and
then keep them. Very likely some day
they will be worth more to you than you
ever dreamed.
Generalship: A mans capacity to fill
high position cannot always be estimated
by the manner in which he fills lower
one. There is proverb which is very
true: "A man may shine in the second
rank who would be eclipsed in the first"
To obtain high position is one thing,
to make good in it, and keep it is another.
A man who may be able easily to handle
the details of small business, or position,
when given greater responsibilities, may
find himself overwhelmed by the multi
plicity of duties and unable to handle
them. This lack of generalship has been
the downfall of many man whose pros
poets to the unobserving seemed particu-
larly bright. But this ability to direct
men and things may be cultivated. There
is no reason why a man, when he does
reach the heights toward which he has
often looked, may not be successful if dur
ing the time of his probation he has served
faithfully and well, and groomed himself
for the higher position.
Draft into your command the three
ships, Workmanship" Friendship" and
Generalship," and you will come out vic
tor in the battle of life.-The Dearborn
Independent.

THANKSGIVING

Oh, the glorious Thanksgiving
OF the days that are no more!
How, with each recurring season,
Wakes their mem'ry DER and DER,
When the hearts of men were simpler,
And the needs of life were less,
And its mercies were not reckoned
BY the measure of excess.
Heaven send the glad Thanksgiving
OF that older, simpler time:
larry with us, not in fancy,
Not in retrospective rhyme;
But in true and living earnest :.
May the spirit of that day,
Artless, plain, and unpretending,
Once again resume its sway!

THREE SHIPS OF SUCCESS

The story is told that at the naval
academy at Annapolis, on one occasion,
the question was asked in an examina-
ton, "Give as briefly as possible the rea-
son for the defeat of the Spanish Armada"
One of the cadets wrote his answer in
fourteen words:
"The defeat was caused by the Span
iard's lack of three ships-Seamanship,
Workmanship, leadership"
There has been many man whose sue
cess in life has been wrecked by the lack
of one, or all, of three ships:
Workmanship p-F Friendship = General
ship.
Workmanshib: There are lot of men
who do not take pride in their work. They
slight and neglect it. To them, work is
only necessary evil by which to get
money enough to live. The less work
they can do and get away with it, the
better. Then they wonder why, when
chance for promotion arrives, they are
not chosen. They accuse the fortunate
one of having a pull. They say that the
boss discriminates and shows favors, when
all the time the trouble is with themselves.
