Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup Easily and cheapIy made at home, but it beats them all for
 quick results


 Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thIrd5 or the money usually spent for cough prepara- tions, by using the well-1nown old reclPee 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 ln "A hours or less.
 Get 21a 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. 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-loos- ems and raises the phIegnl, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing better for bronchitis, spasmodic croup, hoarseness or bronchial asthma.
 Pinex is a special and highly coneen- trated compound of genuine Norwav pine extract. known the world over for its healing effect on the membranes
 Avoid disappointment hv asking vour druggist for F'21a ounces of PineX'' with full directions and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satls faction or money promptly refunded The Pinex Go. Ft. Wayne. Ind

 Transports Are Transferred Upon recommendation of the War Department the great transport Northern Pacific was transferred to the United States Shipping Board, effecting a saving of about $1O0O,O 900 States Army transports Chaumont and Argonne were lent to the Navy Department which otherwise would have needed to estimate for new ships,
 The War Department has retained control of 14 cantonments, 13 of which were used during the war for m civilization of national army divi- sions and one for a National Guard division. Had such of these canton ments as were not needed for peace time activities been sold the proceeds would have amounted to only small percentage of the cost. The real es- ate is not particularly valuable and much of the construction work has little commercial use. As the can comments would nevertheless consti- ute a decided asset in case of emer- gency, the department expects to re- tain such as can be utilized for pub lie service without undue expense for maintenance and caretaking.
 It is planned to retain Camp Meade, Md; Camp Travis, Texas; Camp Lewis, Wash.,- practically in their present condition, as permanent sta tions of three regular army infantry divisions. Camp Devens, Mass; Camp Dix, N. J.; Camp Mcclellan. Ala, and Camp Custer, Mich., have been selected as training centres of the first, second fourth and sixth corps areas, respectively. A portion of the buildings is to be sa1vaged and such real estate leased as is not need ed, but the utility installments are to be retained far al practicable. The same action is being taken with respect to Camp Funston, on the mil itary reservation at Fort Riley, Kan saS
 States to Get Camps
 As a number of states in the South and West have no suitable areas for units, the War Department expects to make available to as many of these states as possible old cantonment areas no longer required for the use of the regular army, such as Camp Lee, Va;- Camp Jackson. S. G.; Camp and Camp Grant, H. Camp Upton N Y, has been completely salvaged and the real estate will be leased if not desired by New York state> for posts no longer required are being made available to states desiring the areas for training purposes.
 Of approximately 500 claims which the War Department has had to con slider during the past year, totall1ng only forty-seven, from twenty-two clainans remain to be settled, action in those cases having been delayed pending completion of few large made of 199 eases, whereby claims for S92,S49,940 were retired by al- lowing S1O,9S6,152.

35,O00 MINERS FAMILIES ARE

New York, March Thirty-five thousand families of miners in West Virginia are in danger of starvation because of the wide unemployment in that State, according to, Fred Mooney, secretary of District 2 of the United Mine Workers of America

 ''There are 70,000 miners in West Virginia. out of work today" Mooney said Among them are many who have not worked mort than three months since the alTnistice a was signed in 1918. They are from the Kanawha fields and the Grafton fields in north- ern West Virginia

FEW FOLKS HAVE
 CRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Us. ing Recipe of Sage Tea
 and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre or when it fades. turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur fin the hair. Our grandn! other made up 2 mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful. and thousands of women and men vno value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of oth- CT ingredients by asking at. any drug store for a bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur CompoVnd," which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly. that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at 9 time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications. it also brings back the gloss and luste and gives il an appearance of abundance.-Adv.

PASTOR TELLS
 STAND OF JESUS
 0NLAB0R D0INCS

Columbus. Ohio. March If Jesus visited this earth this year He would emphasize the world unity started at the Armament Limitation Conference which met at Washington, would try to inspire love of honest toll and seek reform in large city governments, according to Rev. Dr. Daniel +. Rittenhouse, pastor of First Baptist church here.
 He would tell the capitalist he cannot gain permanent wealth by re- fusing fair wages and just working conditions any more than the work CTS can gain the most desirable re- turns by endless demands for shorter hours and more pay,' continued Rev. pr. RittenhOuse.
 He would urge a more drastic limitation of armaments particularly with reference to submarines and poison gas, and He surely would at tempt to check the prevailing craze for watefusl pleasures, draining ener- gies of brains and bodies of millions of Americans every day.

"drys' are having 8 hot conflict over proposals to restrict the use of in- toxicants in Poland. The move 4nent for more rigid control over the use of liquor is becoming more ac-9 tive. Newspapers are full of discus sons Of the question and there are numerous lectures on a1cohoIisms while moving pictures are shown to promote the reform movement.
 The example of America. is contin- uously cited with heated arguments as 70 whether prohibition is effective in that country.
 The ''drys" advocate a regulation cutting down the number of places where liquor is sold by restricting them to one for over 2,5oo of pop-a ulat1on. Another proposal would abolish all places where liquor alonA3 Is sold but grant permits to cafes ands restaurants.
 A steady dry movement has been going on for some time in the nations al parliament and the debates there have lately been made more heated by enforcement of an ordinance es- tabHSh1ng dry Sunday in Warsaw It forbids the sale of liquors from Saturday noon to Monday noon and IS being enforced by the Warsaw police with an iron hand, despite the pro- tests or cafe and restaurant Droprie-3 tors.
 One of the active figures in the campaign Is General Joseph Halier. president of the Polish Red Cross and oi4sh- boS scouts, WhO organized and commanded the. famous HaIler army in which thousands of American yoIs untesrs of Polish blood fought in 1917 and 1918.
 General HalIer is now leadine light against raising the percentage Of alcohol In beer. This is now fixed at two and one-ha1f per cent Ire brewers have consented to this rs-s striction.
 Poland has just put a tax or 20 per cent on all retail liquor stocks Pe- lfsh law makes HqJxor dealer ees-ur rs1e 4 the responsibility for drunkenness by providing that when an intoxicated person is arrested the proprietor of the place in which he purchased his intoxicants must go along with him to Jail.
