Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and cheaply made at home,
but 1t beats them all for
quick results.

Thousands Of housewives have found
money usually spent for cough rrepara-
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: 1t takes, right hold
of a cough and gives immediate relet,
usually stopping an ordinary cough in
24 hours or less.
Get 2h ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into 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, 1t
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 luncs-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, spasmodic Group,
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 for "2H. ounces of Pinex" with
full directions and don't accept anything
else. Guaranteed to give absolute satis-
faction or money promptly refunded

PANKHURST
KNOWN As ORGANIZER

Emeline Pankhurst, the noted English
woman who appears in the coliseum
Friday evening, Feb. II, at popular
prices, is now regarded as the real
force that has brought suffrage to SO
many women IN so many countries
recently.
The older suffrage organizations and
the 'old line suffragists" continued
their propaganda along the traditional
lines.
Mrs. Pankhurst saw that nothing
would be accomplished in that way.
She therefore, with her daughters,
organized the militant movement that
destroyed all precedent and fixed the
attention of the world.
The methods adopted by the milit,
ants were distasteful to them person
ally but it Is directly through the act
ivities that their methods aroused that
the women of England America, Ger
many, Denmark and other countries
which have recently given women
suffrage were given their civic rights.
Mrs. Pankhurst, a modest and unas-
suming woman, will speak for the first
time in Richmond on Monday evening
and women from all over the county
will be present to hear her.
