Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup Eaaily and cheaply made at home, but it beats them all for
 quick results.

Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thirds of the money usually spent.f flor cough prepara- 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. It takes right hold of a cough and gives immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough in "A hours or less.
 Get 21a ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into a pint bottle and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make full pint. If you prefer, use clarified molasscs, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way. it tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts 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, spasmodc croup, hoarseness or bronchial asthma.
 Pinex is 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 flor "2A ounces of Pinex" with full directions and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satis- faction or money promptly refunded. The Pinex Co.,, Ft. Wayne, Ind.

 D Why now and not later? Charles M. Schwab, than whom there is no Amer ican whose works have given him more right to speak on industrial matters, in addressing the Massachusetts Banking association the other day, said
 We are building anew at Bethle-
 hem while one-half of the existing
 plant is idle. We are doing so be-
 cause we are confident that before
 long not only these works, but the
 whole industry and the industrial
 world of which they are part will
 be humming with strong activity
 humming not like a reckless swarm
 of hornets, but like an efficient and
 steadily enriching hive of bees.
 The cast iron pipe trade is at very low ebb due both to the season and to slowing down of structural operations and the diff flculty experienced by municipalities in floating their public improvement bond issues. Yet the Stockham Pipe and Fit tlngs company which has done large buSlness m Chicago as distributing base Tn the past, has incorporated in the state ; of Illinois with capital stock of S500,0 900 in order to place it's western business on bigger and sounder foundation
 The Continental Gin company secured 50-acre tract at Acipco and began the building of a larger plant during the height of the depression among cotton producers and the high tide of'a chorus de- mandng a cutting down of cotton acre age. The Continental company knows that the world is going to need more and more cotton, and that means more and more cotton gins It is making use of the low point of operation by devoting it's energies to increasing plant capacity in keeping with the demand that sound sense says IS ahead.
 The Alabama Home Building and Loan association is increasing it's capital stock from S6,000,000 to S9,00O,0OO, not be- cause there is great building of new homes now, but because it realizes it's com- ing as among the things that are inevit- ably soon.
 Big men are not dashed about like leaves, going this way, then that, accord ing as the passing breeze blows. They are more like the great sea currents, going steadily on year in and year out as known and basic truths guide them
 It is the big man, who like Brutus hastening to Rome in the race for power fell from his horse, but got up smiling and went on saying he had kissed mother earth and been endowed with additional strength-by so doing. He won what he sought.
