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

Whenever anyone in my family catches cold and begins to cough and sneeze, and hawk and breaJne neavy. it doesn't take me many minutes to fix up rem edy that will drive away all such troubles in double quick tims.
 It's no secret-anyone can make a half pint of the finest cough medicine in the world for a trifling sum.
 Get from any druggist one ounce of Parmnt (doubie strength)-to this add q little granulatsd sugar and enough water to make one half pint-thats all there is to it.
 But now you've got a real medicine mind you-the first spoonful you take acts directly on .ne membrane of the throat and nose. the tickling almost in stantly-the inflammation begins to dis appear-up comes the stubborn mucous and often in 24 hours every trace of the cough that frightens you is gone.
 It's really remarkable how this home made remedy acts on the mucus mem- brane and that is one reason it is so help- full to thousands of Catarrh sufferers.- Adv.

QUEST FOR GAMING l PLACES IN M0BILEI BY SHERIFF FAILS
Mayor Taylor Will Decide If Vice Charges to Be
 Probed

MOBILE. Ala, March 15.-(Special Leased Wire. )-Acting on complaints that gambling houses and hand books for taking bets on horse races were in operation, deputy sheriffs Thursday afternoon visited num- Der of suspected places but reported they found nothing on which to base arrests. The shoriff's men visited five places in all. three suspected of operating handbooks and two ot being gambling houses.
 The activity of the sheriff's depart ment follows failure of police off cials to take cognizance of com plaints of Mrs Z. H. Lasseter and Mrs. G. R. Nurse and exposures by The Register that gambling and other forms of vice were in operation in the city of Mobile. After the sheriff had reported on the raids to Solicitor B. B. Chamberlain. the lat ter announced that sufficient evi- dence on which to base arrests had not been found. The solicitor gave out a statement that it was against the law to make books on horse races within or without the state and told the sheriff all persons operating such places should be arrested and placed on the jail docket. He asked the sheriff to visit the suspected places every few days.
 The raids were one of the develop ments of the day in the disclosures regarding vice in the city of Mobile, the other being the return to his office of Mayor R. V. Taylor. who has been i'll. A resolution offered by Commissioner Hartwell seeking to call an investigation of vice charges was lost because Commissioner Craw- = ford voted against the motion, bring ing about tie and defeat.
 The resolution will come before the commission again next Tuesday. With Commissioner Crawford already on record against the motion ana Commissioner Hartwell committed in favor of 1t, Mayor Taylor's vote will determine whether or not an investi- gation will be considered to deter mine if charges of vice conditions are Justified.
 Mir. Taylor on returning to his of flee yesterday said he had no state ment to make with regard to the .h,ryar of vice coDflitfDns in Mobile.
