Pine is used in nearly all prescriptions
and remedies for coughs. The reason Is
that pine contains several elements that

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 2Ha ounces Of
Pinex in a pint bottle and fill up with
home made sugar syrup. Or you can
use clarified molasses, honey or corn

way, you make full pint-more than
you can buy ready made for three times
the money. Il is pure, good and tastes

was amazing. compared to the move

Before dressing for the workout

With the loss of twelve football
letter men by graduation, one would
naturally expect that Cony would be
feeling sort Of blue over the pros
pect of the coming season, with the
majority Of the old standby's gone
from the lineup. But, as Coach
Thompson said last evening, the To-

material in the men who will turn
out next week for practice, and al
though the team this year will neces-
sarily be rather light. thus making
1t necessary to develop an open style
Of play. the boys will make their
opponents hustle some to keep them
off their goal lines when they meet
in battle.
Then Cony has a reliable half
back in Charlie Poor, this years
captain, and one of the best, If not
an equal, of any kickoff men in
! the State. Poor is also good on
, the drop kick. He is one of the men
who carried Cony to victory last
season and will inject considera BILE
pep into any clash which he enters.
Two other letter men will be in the
! lineup, Bernard Lapidus. one of
and MILFORD Howell. who was forced
to drop out of the team early in
the season last year because of in
juries received while playing. 1t is
expected that Howell will stack up
on left end, although if heavy
enough he is a probability for tackle.
Then the back field will be REIN
forced by Ernest Burns, good
promise in the position of half-back.
Burns has occasionally played on
the team in past years. Red Hay
: den is expected to fill the position
of quarterback and John McCauley
will also try out for a back field
situation.
Ansel (Pete) Hill is a good bet for
tackle and Russell Foster and Del
mont Cooper, both big. husky fell

is a probability for guard and Henry

able candidate for center. George

another candidate for end, and with

hurt him.

enough to bother him. Joe Mccain
