Thousands OF housewives have
found that they can save two-thirds
OF the money usually spent for cough
preparations, by using this we'll,
known old recipe for making cough
syrup. 1t is simple and cheap but IL
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 2A ounces of Pinex from any
and add plain granulated sugar syrup
to make 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 long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly
1t acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lungs
loosens and raises the phlegm,
soothes and heals the membranes, and
gradually but surely the annoying
throat tickle and dreaded cough dis
appear entirely. Nothing better for
bronchitis, spasmodic Group, hoarse-
ness or bronchial asthma.
Pinex is special and highly con.
centrated compound of genuine Nor
way pine extract known the world over
for. its healing effect on membranes.
Avoid disappointment BY asking
your druggist for 12H ounces Of

The sum and substance of the whole
matter is that bubble has been raised

that their interests had not been pro-

Flood Adds His Praise

washington, TeD. I-DCIHocIdtS WIN
For purposes of boosting some par
ticular presidential candidate are try
ing to force the resignation OF Chair
man George White of the Democratic
National committee, should be
"squelched," Champ Clark, Dcmocra-
tic leader in the House OF Rcpresen-
.tatives, declared in a statement here
today.
Mr.. Clark was replying to the state
ncnt issued last night on behalf eff
40 members of the national commit
tee asking for a meeting of the full
committee at ST. Louis, March l to
organize 1.-The forces Of progress" The
former speaker of the House said Mr..
White made an uphill fight last year
ard did it WELL" and that he should
be allowed to fill out his term Of four
years.
He further declared that the sooner
presidential candidates and their en-
thusiastic proponents could bring
themselves to wait, the better it would
be for the party and the country
Representative Flood, chairman of
the Democratic congressional COM
mittee, also issued statment oppos-
ing an early meeting of the commit
tee. He said the issues of the 1922
campaign would be made by the DEM
ocrats in the Senate and House, and
that while Mr.. White might desire to
resign. he could render service to the
entire Democratic party by remaining
as chairman.
IF the Republicans propose 1egisla-
ton in the interest of the country"
said Mr.. Flood, I'VE will support it
earnestly. Only when such proposed
legislation is not in the interest of the
country would we oppose it, and the
differences between the two parties
will constitute the issues in 1922 and
1?24"
The view was endorsed by Repre-
sentative Clark who said the only
question pressing for solution now
was paying off the deficit in campaign
expenditures, to which unpleasant
task" Mr.. White was now address,
ing himself.
The issues in the next campaign,
he added. will be based on 1egisla-
ton Of the 67th and 6Sth Congresses.
New men and new issues may appear
in the next three years.
Six more members of the national
committee wish their names added to
the request for meeting of the FIJI
committee. according to a telegram
made public here tonight by Thomas

George White of the Democratic ma
tional committee has no intention of
retiring, he said here tonight before

ton to take up the request Of commit
tee members for meeting March l.
Conditions have changed since last

said. IT now feel that I do not need

De Valera In Ireland
No Fault of England

Dublin, Jan. 24.-Eamon de VAL
era's presence in Ireland can not be
attributed to any connivance of the
British government, declares a lead
ing Sim Feiner of the moderate
group. He expressed the conviction
in an interview that the peace"
moves which have been widely dis
cussed the past two months represent
nothing but q desire of the govern
ment, for propaganda purposes, to
intentions and that they have been
thwarted by the unreasonableness Of
Sim Fem.
The man interviewed said he had
been in touch with the returned
president of the Irish Republic"
since de Valera's return from Amer
lea.
de Valera's position" he declared,
"is by no means that of a dictator,
even that Of a plenipotentiary. His
is representative Office. He must
act in accordance with the sentiment
Of his organization. He is not auth
oriZed to negotiate peace on any such
terms as have been offered, and If he
did, he would be repudiated. Sim
Feiners maintain that Dali Eireann
is the only legitimate government in
Ireland and will only negotiate as
such. The permission of the Brit
ish premier for Dali Eireann to meet,
with the exception of such men. as
the government want. is ridiculous.
AS a matter of fact, Dali Eireann has
been meeting secretly all along and
issuing orders through it's various
ministries"
1t is known that members Of Dali
Eireann do not regard the safe con-
duct offered by Mr.. Lloyd George a.
of any value or as adding. anything
to its existing facilities. 1t il re-
garded merely as an Invitation for
the organization to betray certain Of
its members-some of them having
been unsuccessfully sought by Crown
agents for many months.
This fairly represents the average
Slim Fein view, current among those
who cannot be considered extremists.
