Speaks Highly of
This Home Made
Cough Remedy
Says 1t Acts With Unusual Speed
-.LoosenS the Mucus-Relieves
the Irritation and Stops the
Cough
Costs Next to Nothing-for a Big
Supply

When ever anyone in my fam
lily catches cold and begins t,
cough and sneeze, and hawk ant
breathe heavy, it doesn't take me
many minutes to fix up a remedy
that will drive away all such
troubles in double quick time.
It's no secret - anyone can
make a half pint of the finest
cough medicine In the world for
q trifling sum.
Get from any druggist one
ounce of Parmint double
strength)-to this add little
gTanulated sugar and enough wa
ter to make one half pint-that's
all there is to it.
But now you've got a real med
icine--mind you-the first spoon
full you take acts directly on the
membrane of the throat and nose,
the tickling ceases almost instant
ly-the inflammation begins to
disappear-up comes the stub
born mucus and often in "a hours
every trace of the cough that
frightened you is gone.
It's really remarkable how this
home made remedy acts ON the
membrane and that is one
reason IT is so helpful to thou
sands Of catarrh sufferers. (adv) |

Reduced Rates
+. Dependent On
Lower w ages

Cincinnati, Ohio, March 10.-
Robert S.. Binkerd of New York
speaking before the Cincinnati
chamber of commerce today, de-
clared that railroad rates cannot
be further reduced until wages oi
rail workers have been further
cut.
1.-THE wage reductions now
sought by the roads," said Mr.
Binkerd, who is assistant to the
chairman of the Association OF
Railway Executives, "are for the
purpose of enabling the railroads
to collect lesser gross revenue
from the shipping and consuming
public, while still remaining SOL
vent enterprises.
The roads, he rald, have been
working for reduced rail wages
since October LAST, with the un-
that the reduction re-
ceived would be passed on to the
public in the shape of reduced
rates."
"The railways today" he said,
"are pleading the cause Of The
whole producing and consuming
public. The policy they are at
to accomplish is not
alone in the public interest, but is
equally fair and in the long run
would equally be beneficial to the
interest Of the railroad employees
