Thousands of housewives have
found that they can save two-thirds
of the money usually spent for
cough preparations by using this
well known old recipe for making
cough syrup. 1t is simple and cheap,
but it has no equal for prompt re-
suits. 1t takes right hold of a cough
and gives immediate relief, usually
stopping an ordinary cough in "a
hours or less.
Get III ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into a pint bottle,
and add plain granulated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. If you
prefer, use clarified molasses, 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
-loosens and raises the phIegm,
soothes and heals the membranes,
and gradually, but surely, the am
noying throat tickle and dreaded
cough disappear entirely. Nothing
better for bronchitis, spasmodic
Group, h0arseness or bronchial
asthma.
Pinex is special and highly con-
centrated compound of genuine
Norway pine extract known the
world over for its healing effect on
membranes.

The Ideal in Egg Cooking.

It would be absurd to say that eggs
were wholesome If you did not specify
how they should be cooked to come
under this head Of wholesomeness.
Eggs as you sometimes see them
cooked are quite in a class with soy
heavy mince pie or the articles Of diet
that we are used to thinking of as
Invitations to stomachic discomfort.
Cooked in other ways an egg is about
as wholesome a bit of food as YOU
could find; it is one of the first things
given to young children. and plays
a very important part in sickroom
and convalescent diets.
The interesting thing is that you
cannot say that all soft boiled eggs
are wholesome, that fried and scram-
bled eggs and hard-boiled eggs are
always unwholesome or that poached
eggs are always suitable for delicate
people or children. It is not the proc
ess itself but the way the particular
process is accomplished that makes
for or against digestibility.
Authorities agree that the best wav
to boil eggs is below the boiling point
Thus we are told to "coddle" an egg
81 leaving 1t in boiling water three
minutes. The egg left in water three
minutes will be tough and leatherv
on the outside and almost uncooked in
the middle, Wh1le the egg coddled or
left in water after 1t has come to the
boil and then taken from the fire will
not be leathery. If you leave the egg
in six or seven minutes you have a
very soft egg. but one that is evenly
cooked. If you leave the egg in
longer you get a more solidly cooked
egg, but 1t will still be wholesome
because the albumen OF the white has
not been subjected to too high tenn
perature.
To make scrambled eggs that ara
really wholesome. have a small frying
pan or other shallow pan, grease Il
with butter and place it over a pan
of boiling water. Break as many eggs
and add a little milk. Pour them
into the buttered pan and cook them
without letting them come in direct
contact with the fire. Thus there
will be no particle Of Drowned crust
and the egg will be very creamy and
soft.

The beefing. bridegroom is putting
up an awful boiler. Marriage is prov
ing as much of a mockery as a real
estate prospectus.
Yu' see. it was one Of these "love
at first sight" cases. There never
had been such a girl, or such a love-
or-you know how it goes. And he
told her so-every night, thrice daily
by phones, with few special deliv-
cry letters thrown in, and a ton of
American Beauty roses, boxes of can
dy and theater tickets. Did she be-
lieve all he said? Sure she did! She
had always had a bunch thataway
and his statements merely confirmed
it.
And then they were married. And
he expected her to climb out and cook
the coffee while he shaved-and count
the laundry and go give the gas COM
pany fits. etc. But she doesn't see
it that way. Hadn't he told her she
would never soil her lily hands with
manual labor" ETC., etc, ETC.? Yep
he had-and then some.
And so-he's beefing. But what can
he expect? Would he want to be put
on an Office boys job If he had been
hired as district manager?

Boudoir Accessories.

Every woman quite naturally wants
to see herself dressed as the lovely
ladies in the fashion pages dress.
think this applies more to negllges
and undertakings than to outdoor
dress, if / may judge from the letters
l receive on the subject.
It's probably the intense femininlty
of it-a woman's boudoir is usually
pictured as such a luxurious little re-
treat, her boudoir accessories and her
negligeS are made so alluringly. Yet
some of us-most of us, PROBABLY
can't afford either the time or the
money it requires to enjoy these
things.
So If we want them we must use our
wits to get them. And it really doesn't
take a great deal of work to achieve
rather good results. Old evening
gowns. made up with perhaps a plain
slip of chiffon over them to hide their
shabbiness, make lovely neglfges-
and, for that matter, the cheapest cot
ton crepe comes in lovely plain colors
and makes up very well indeed. Old
dance slippers make nice boudolr
slippers, for they can be cleaned, or
fresh again-and boudoir slippers
never cost a great deal. even when
new Boudoir caps can be made from
odds and ends of lace and ribbon, if
one is a little ingenious.
Cheap furniture can be enameled in
soft colors, and the results are amaz-
ing. Figured carpets can be dyed or
to bring them into the new decorative
scheme. And do you know that cheap
wooden toilet articles can be covered
with brocaded silks and finished with
metal braid, if hot furniture glue is
used?

the date of enumeration would be
most marked in those states where
many chickens are marketed dur

year. and less important in those
