HotU TO Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home


Pine is used in nearly all prescrip-
tions and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have q remarkable
effect in soothing and healing. the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The syrup part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put "a ounces
of Pinex in pint bottle, and fill UP
with homemade sugar syrup. Or
you can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead OF sugar syrup.
Either way, you make full pint
more than YOU can buy ready-mAde
for three times the money. It Ia
pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of

Pinex is a highly concentrated com

for its prompt effect upon coughs.

A pity it is that there are not more
people like Peter. 1t would have
made successes of a lot who are now
failures. No one has ever been In
tighter places that Peter Rabo{t, yet
sSomehow he has always managed to
get out of them. That is because he
has never given up, even when there
has seemed to be no hope.
As he crouched in Buster Bears
cave, watching FOWLER the Bob Cat
at the entrance, Peter knew 4hat
much depended on whether or not
Yowler would dare enter that cave
lie knew Yowler for the coward he is
and he hoped with all his might that
Yowler's fear OF Buster Bear would
make him afraid to enter, even
though he knew that Buster was not
at home.
The hope in Peters heart grew as
he saw how FOWLER hesitated. Sew
eral times FOWLER started to enter
and then backed out Twice he
turned to stare all about him in the
moonlight. His funny stub of a tail
twitched with anger and Impotence.
Platnly he was having hard work to
gain courage enough to enter that
cave.
But at last Peter saw a new light
in those fierce eyes as they once
more peered into the cave, and he
knew that Yowler had made up his
mind &c enter The fact is, FOWLER

could smell Peter in there and he had
decided that If Peter had dared go
in there there was no reason why he
shouldn't go in, too. 1t wasn't as IL
he had got TO stay there. He hadn't
doubt that he would find an6 catch
Peter within minute or two. Then
he would carry Peter outside and
away where he need not worry about
Buster Bear. So stealthily he en-
tered that cave.
Peter was in depsair. What should
he do? What could he do? Yowler
was bound to find him. 1t was use
less for him to try to get past Yowl-
er. 1t seemed to Peter that this time
surely he would lose his life. ANA
then he remembered something. He
remembe that in one corner tiny
cave opened with a narrow entrance
from the larger cave. Peter waited
for that little cave and just in the
very nick of time squeezed through
that narrow entrance.
He was none too soon. At his first
movement Yowler had seen him and
bounded forward. AS he struggled
through that narrow entrance FOWL
er's claws scratched his hind legs.
Peter squealed with pain and fright
and Yowler snarled with disappoint-
ment.
That little cave was very small. t
was hardly big enough for Peter TO
turn around in. Now he crouched
Just as far back in it as he could get.
There was need for him to. Yowler,
after trying in vain to tear away the
entrance. had thrust paw in, a paw
with great hooked claws stretched as
far out as possible, and was trying
to hook them into Peter. Only by
flattening himself against the back
wall could Peter keep out OF reach
OF those growing claws. TWO or three
times they scratched him and tore
little tufts of hair from his coat;
Peter was In the highest of tight
places and he knew it. And oh, how
he did long for the dear Old Briar-
patch and wish he had had sense
enough to stay therel
If ever get out OF this I'll never,
never leave the Old Briar-patch
again." sobbed Peter.

in this list peaches. cherries, plums,
pears and early apples. While
grapes were damaged to some ex-

part Of the city, involving a loss esti-

about S12,5OO,OOO. Thousands of per-
sons were made homeless, and 133 per-
sons were injured. The burned build
ings included three hospitals. a bank
and several large business houses. For
four hours a strong wind drove the
flames In the direction of the heart Of
the city, causing a panic among the
population. Four thousand troops aid
ed the firemen in combating the blaze,
but II was only when the force OF the
wind let down notably that their ef-
fors to control the fire were rewarded
with success.
Scenes OF terror were witnessed In
various sections as the course Of the
flames threatened widespread de-
struction. The streets were chOked
with masses of despairing refugees
from the districts already stricken,
accompanied by carts loaded with fur
niture, the confusion being increased
by the fiocking in Of sightseers from
other sections. Many of the half
frozen fugtives fleeing from the flames
bore infants strapped to their backs.
Mounted police had great difficulty in
restraining lncipient panics. AS a
measure Of relief the imperial gar
dens were opened to the sufferers.
The fire burned so fiercely and with
such intense brightness that the skies
were illumlned by a fiery halo which
was visible for hundreds Of miles as
1t hung over city. Tie Diet, which
was In session when the blaze started,
adjourned when its threatening ma
ture was reported.
