It Is the custom of the Chinese to
burn various kinds of ehigles at the
funeral ceremonies of the rich, and
the more wealthy the departed the
more elaborate the figures burned over
his grave. These effigles represent
every manner OF thing, such as human
figures. horses, sedan chairs, tables

at his grave. The effigy was made
entirely of strong Chinese paper

paper and bamboo.
The interior of the car was also

Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and eheapiy made at horne.
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. It
is simple and cheap but it has no equal
for prompt results. 1t takes right hold
of a cough and gives immediate relief,
usually stopping an ordinary cough in
"a hours or less.
Get 2i5 ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into a pint bottle and
add plain granulated sugar syrup to
make full pint. II you prefer, use
clarified molasscs, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it
tastes good. keeps perfectly, and lasts
a family a long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lungs--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,
hoarseness 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 "2l4 ounces of PineX" with
full directions and don't accept anything
else. Guaranteed TO give absolute satis.
