Tells HoU TO Stop a
Bad Cough
Surprising results from this famous
old homemade syrup. Easily
prepared and costs little.

If you have severe cough or chest
cold accompanied with soreness, throat
tickle, hoarseness, or difficult breath
ing, or if your child wakes UP during
the night with Group and you want
quick help, try this reliable old home
made cough remedy. Any druggist can
supply you with 2H ounces of Pinex:
Pour this into a pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup. Or you can use clarified mo-
1asses, honey, or corn syrup, instead
of sugar syrup, if desired. This recipe
makes pint of really remarkable
cough remedy. 1t tastes good, and in
spite of its low cost, it can be depended
upon to give quick and lasting relief.
You can feel this take hold of a
cough in a way that means business.
1t loosens and raises the phlegm, stops
throat tickle and soothes and heals the
irritated membranes that line the
throat and bronchial tubes with such
promutness, ease and certainty that it
is really astonishing.
Pinex is special and highly concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, and is probably the best
known means of overcoming severe
coughs, throat and chest colds.
There are many worthless imita-
tions of this mixture. To avoid dis.
appointment, ask for "21s ounces Of
Pinex" with full directions and don't
accept anything else. Guaranteed to
give absolute satisfaction or money
promptly refunded. The Pinex Co..

LOCKS WHISKY IN 4 SAFE
Professor Knows Friends Ars @Honsst,
but Isnft Taking Any
Chances.

Westheld, Mass.-Twenty quarts Of
9a8ottled-in-bond whisky. owned by
Prot. Lewis B. Allyn. the noted pure
food expert, has been kept In his safe
vince Jan. 16.
II know my friends are honest
he says, "but I am taking no, chances"
The whisky is required from time
to time In the professors research
and experimental work. and he laid
in a liberal supply before constitu7-
tional prohibition went into effect.
Prof. Allyn is working overtime try
Ing to keep pace with the demand for
analysis of homemade beverages.
One small bottle of homemade
wine, which the owner assured him
possessed a real kick, proved to be %
per cent alcohol, or. from two to three
times the alcoholic content Of wines
formerly offered for sale. Ethyl alco-
hol+ may have been added to the con-
coction, Prof. Allyn thinks. At any
rate, it is the most remarkable of the
hundreds of harmless homemade
drinks" he has yet analysed.

ginia when they started west In search
of new hunting grounds.
Their trail led through this section,

WALNUT NOW CHEAP
Is Taking Place Of Oak for
Furniture.
oes Moines School Board Makes
Interesting Postwar
Discovery.

Des Moines.-Desks and furniture in
many of the Des Moines schools soon
will be of American walnut, and the
school board attributed the change
from quarter-sawed oak to walnut to
the war. The secretary of the board
says he believes he was able to get
walnut because it was supposed to
have become So scarce that everyone
had ceased to look for 1t.
Incidentally, the walnut to be used
has a varied travelling history. It was
originally cut and seasoned for the
United States government for airplane
propellers. 1t had been sold by the
United States to France, and when the
war ended France turned the wood
back to this country. 1t was sold and
resold several times and was loaded
for shipment to Chicago when the
school board started wi to buy quar-
ter sawed oak to build desks and fur
niture.
The oak, heretofore the standard for
school furniture, was found to be too
costly by the board of school commits
sioners. A few dealers submitted
prices around $3.50 a thousand board
feet and did not appear overly anxious
for the order even at that figure.
: 1t was then that the secretary Of
the board heard of the shipment Of
walnut and investigated. He was inn
mediately given a price Of $500 a thou
sand feet and bought $4,000 worth Of
it. Since that time the board Of COM
missioners has purchased a considera-
BILE quantity of ~unseasoned walnut to
be made into school furniture at prices
less than the seasoned wood cost.
The school furniture is made by
manual training instructors who are
employed the entire year around in
the schools, and in this way the cost
of manufacture is reduced to about
one-half.
Since 1t has become known that the
school board is. buying walnut, the sec.
rotary of the board says. the price is
going up, owing to the increased de.
mand.
