Ho,D to Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results.
Takes but "A moment TO prepare,
and saves you about ".

Pine is used in nearly all prescrlp-
tions and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have n 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 2A ounces
of Pinex in pint bottle, and fill up
with home made 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. II is
pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of
cough or cold in way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be persist:
emily loose from the formation of
phlegm. The cause is the same--in-
famed membranes-and this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop il
usually in "a hours or less. Splen-
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse-
ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine eX-
tract, and is famous the world over
for its prompt effect upon coughs.
Beware of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "2is ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed TO give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

ANSWERED LETTERS.

Bride: Please tell me how to finish
a hardwood floor that has never been
touched. | prefer dull finish"
Answer: You did not tell me what
wood was used to make the floor and
whether YOU wished light or dark
floor. Such woods as oak, ash, chest
nut and birch are called "open-gralned
woods and require a filler before
the final finish is applied; while such
woods as hard pine are called close
grained" woods and require no filler.
In regard to the dark finish: !, per
sonallv, do not believe in staining a
new hardwood floor For all woods
tend 10 darken in time, and the light
appearance OF new floor should be
endured with patience. SO many women
have gone 10 the expense and trouble
Of removing o mussX, dark stain which
they put on their new floors and then
later decided they did not like.
If Your New Hardwood Floors are
Open-Grained: But good sllex paste
filler, which has finely powdered, needle
like quartz particles which when I'M
bedded in the floor, result in smooth
surface. Sandpaper the floor before
YOU apply this filler (if you have de-
cided to have d stained floor, you
must apply the oil stain before this
silex filler) Twenty-four hours after
applying the filler, sandpaper the floor
lightly and apply a coat Of floor varnishi
let dry for As hours, then sandpaper
lightly again and apply second coat
OF varnish. This is the final finish If one
wishes shiny surface. But, as you perter
dull surface, you must rub the floor with
equal parts of linseed oil and tur-
pentine.

stood an old banio leaning against the
wall, and behind the banjo was box
and inside the box were the seven
Twinkle-eyes children watching Puss
through a crack.
They were seven very frightened
little mice for they knew their mother
and father had gone through that hole
down the wall to the pantry and would
soon return with their dinner. And
though Puss might not catch both Of
them she would be sure to get one.
OF course they could make Puss
chase them and get her away from
the hole, but something must be done
to scare her so she would not go back
there after she had found she could
not catch them.
There was no time to think more
about it for Just then Mrs. Twinkle
eyes put her nose through the hole in
the wall and Puss jumped for her.
Out of the box jumped all seven
little mice right into the banjo, and
over it went, the long end striking
Puss on the top of the head, making
her see stars.

There was no sign OF HIM there. In fact
