Homemade Remedy
Stops Coughs Quickly
The best cough medicine you ever
used. A family supply easily and
quickly made. Saves about $2.
Observation-Disclosures


You might be surprised to know
that the best thing you can use for
a severe cough, is a remedy which
is easily prepared at home in Just
a few moments. It's cheap, but for
prompt results it beats anything else
you ever tried. Usually stops the
ordinary cough or chest cold in "a
hours. Tastes pleasant, too-children
like it-and it is pure and good.
Pour PFC ounces of Pinex in a
pint bottle; then fill it up with plain
granulated sugar syrup. Or use clari-
fed molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup, if desired.
Thus you make full pint-a family
supply-but costing no more than a
small bottle of ready-made cough
syrup.
And as cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be had at
any price. 1t goes right to the spot
and gives quick, lasting relief. 1t
promptly heals the inhamed mem
branes that line the throat and air
passages, stops the annoying throat
tickle, loosens the phlegm, and soon
your cough stops entirely. Splendid
for bronchitis, Group, hoarseness and
bronchial asthma.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
famous for healing the membranes.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "21a ounces of Pinex"
with directions and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
Lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

So obsessed are women by the
idea that the only thing men care
for in a woman is beauty, that it
mas come to be the standard alibl
for every deserted wife.
We continually hear it said that
after Mrs. x got fat and grizzle,
headed Mr.. X forsook her for a
younger and prettjer woman, where
upon all of her sisters weep tears of
sympathy on Mrs. KS breast, and
anathematiZe x for his faithlessness
to one who had given him her youth
full pulchritude and who was sCorned
as soon as it was gone.
Of course, the insistence of WON.
en- upon mans blind worship OF beau.
ty, aid the 'elicf that a mans love
is wholly and entirely dependent
upon a woman's good looks, is 4
grand and gorgeous excuse for wives
not keeping the love they have won.
1t saves their faces, as the Chinese
say, for it makes preserving a hus.
bands affection matter Of pure
luck, beyond their control, instead Of
being a matter Of art, and sublety,
and work, and self-control, that lies
entirely within their own volition.
For q woman is responsible for
losing her beauty. AS a matter OF
fact, she is bound to lose it because
time takes toll of even the peachiest
Figures grow more meager or stout
er. Hair loses its sheen, eyes their
luster. The roses fade out of the
cheeks, and life etches its story y
pain and sorrow on every face. Ev-
cry woman at forty is a chrome re
production of the living picture she
was at twenty. And if love, as wom-
en- think, is hung on a hair, or is only
skin deep, then there isn't a woman
in the world but who is foredoomed
to lose out.
But, fortunately for women, this
notion that their husbands love them
merely for their beauty, and will
cease to care for tnem when they
lose it, is a false doctrine. In the
first place, men don't marry women
for their looks, or else there would
be many more old maids than now
exist, for If you will observe any
crowd Of matrons, you will perceive
that not many of them would have

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

show Men admire a pretty face,
yes. They rave over beauty, but
they are generally content TO let
some other man have it.
When man marries a woman
she looks good to him, or else he
would not have picked her out for
wife. and he continues to see her as
she appeared to him on her wedding
day just as long as she doesn't do
something that wakes him out of his
trance, and makes him give her the
cold and critical once-oVer.
I doubt extremely if any man ever
quit loving his wife because she had
| lost her figure or her complexion.
| doubt if he ever even perceived
that she had lost her figure or ner
complexion, and was no longer the
slim and beauteous maiden Of MS
dreams, until some day her nagging
or her whining or her temper passed
the endurable point, and then he saw
| her as she really WaS-fat, sallow-
checked, ugly and unlovely-but most
of all spiritually unlovely.
In proof Of this, take the fact that
among the most adored wives of our
acquaintance are women who have
!
en- who are frankly as homely as ma
ture made them; women who do not
even attempt to palliate their appear
ance by articles of the toilet; women
who have no taste in dress, but who
are so jolly and good-natured, so SYM
pathetic and kindly, so interested in
everything their husbands are inter-
ested in, that their men have never
discovered that they were not We
muses., or if they have, they don't
care.
No, the way women lose their hus-
bands is not through their looks, but
their ways.
Among my acquaintances for in
stance, is q young woman who is
married to a very delightful and
charming man, who is at present
very much in love with her. The
husband smokes, not excessively, but
he likes his after-dinner cigar, and
an occasional cigarette. The wife
objects to tobacco. She does not per-
nit her husband to smoke in the
house. There is a ceaselesS argu-
ment on the subject, and after dinner
the poor man has to go and sit on
the steps, or seek the garage, or take
a stroll with his cigar.
| 1t humiliateS him that he cannot
do as he pleases in his own home.
Every argument on the subject
leaves little bitterness behind it.
The wife's prejudice is killing all the
chumminess between them, and I
prophesy that in five years time the
man will have ceased to care for his
wife, and probably will have found
some other woman with broader
views toward tobacco The wife will
attribute it to her fading looks, but
| it won't be that. 1t will have been
her disposition.
This is only one of a thousand
other causes of why women lose
their husbands love. Extravaganza.
bad housekeeping, lack of apprecia-
ton, discomfort, perpetual criticism,
all drive a husband away from his
wife often enough. But when a wife
is affectionate to her husband, and
fuses over him, and tells him he is
| the greatest thing on earth, he
doesn't care whether she is fat or
/ thin, or whether her hair is gray or
| black, or whether her teeth are her
own, or hers by right Of purchase.
For pretty is as pretty does with
wives.
