said that the rehabilitation branch of
the Federal Board for Vocational Sdu-
cation has nearly $4,000 men in train
ing to overcome the handicaps result
ing from war injuries and thereby to

A large proportion of these men are
in training in commercial, trade, and
agricultural schools. 1t is stated that
training assistants qualified in these
branches of education are urgently
needed by the vocational board in Or
der that the work may be properly
supervised, followed up, and connect

positions can be offered to properly
qualified persons at initial salaries not

Applicants must have an education
equivalent to graduation from a stand

POULTRY CULLING

A poultry culling demonstration was
held at C ]. Woodburn's farm in Har-

flock of about $50 Rhode Island Reds.
His egg production had been running
from 80 to 100 eggs per day and had
several times dropped down as low as
so. About $50 hens were culled out
of his flock and recommendations
made to provide dry mash of shorts,
bran and tankage for the remainder Of
the flock. A great deal of poultry
culling will be done this season as
people are becoming more interested
in culling in the face of the high prices
Of grains and good price for eggs.

The Quick Way to
 Stop a Cough This homemade syrup does the work in a hurry. Easily pre- pared, and saves about $2.
.s.s..s.s.ss.s.s.. s's

You might be surprised to know That the best thing you can use for a severe cough, is q remedy which IS easily prepared at home in just few moments. It's cheap, but for prompt results it beats anything else you ever tried. Usually stops the ordinary cough or chest cold in A hours. Tastes pleasant. too-children like it-and it is pure and good.
 Pour 21b ounees of Pinex in pint bottle; then fill it up with plain .granu,, lated sugar syrup. Or use clarlfled molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup, if desired. Thus you make full pint--a family supply, but costing no moe than 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 inaamed membranes that line the throat and air passages, stops the annoying throat tickle, loosens the phlegm, and soon your cough stops en- 4irely. Splendid for bronchitis, croIp, hoarseness and bronchial asthma.
 Pinex is a highly concentrated com- mound of Norway pine extract, famous for it's healing effect on the mem branes.
 To avoid disappointment ask your druggist for "2R ounces Of Plnex" with directions and don't accept any thing else Guaranteed to give abso- lute satisfaction or money refunded. The Pinex Co.,, Ft. Wayne, Ind.
