How to Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip.
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 2H ounces
of Pinex in n pint bottle, and fill up
with homemade sugar syrup. Or
you can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead OF sugar syrup.
Either way, you make a full pint
moT than o can buy ready made
for three times the money. 1t 10
pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of .
cough or cold in a WY 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. Spleen
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse-
meas, or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine or-
tract, and is famous the world over
for its prompt effect upon coughs.
Beware of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "2h ounces of Pinex''
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed TO give abso.
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

The proposed ihree-cent sales tax
on gasoline vas defended before the
kiwanis club today by S. w. Con.
well, of the state highway commits.
sion. as the n equitable method of
making those who use tho states
roads pay or their upkeep.
Failure to levy an increased gaso.
line tax, Mr.. Conwell told tho Kiwan.
ians, will mea either that the road
can not be cared for properly or that
oil royalty income will be devoted to
maintenance instead of new CON
struction, thereby forfeiting for the
state the advantage of federal aid.
Mr.. Conwell ridiculed the conten,
ton that an Increased tax would
curtail the consumption of gasoline.
He pointed out that 81 states now
having such n tax had showed an
average increase in consumption of
% per cent. n that in Nebraska,
which has no tax, consumption had
Increased only "a per cent.
Tho highway commission derives
It's income now from three sources.
the speaker explained. The funds
accruing from license fees 20 to.
ward retiring the bonds issued dur.
ms the earlier years Of the depart.
ment's operation, and at the pres
ent rate will clear up this indebted.
ness in the next seven years, he
said. New construction is taken
care OF by the income from oil roy
allies and by federal aid funds. Con.
tinued payment OF these latter. of
course depends on the states ap-
p%ropriating its share.
This leaves only the gasoline tax
to maintain highways already built.
the speaker continued. Last year
this amounted to approximately
5000 900. Maintenance work I'm
1925 will cost about S614,0OO. Mr..
Conwell estimated. Thus the pro.
posed increase In the gas tax from
one to three cents would virtually
cover the upkeep cost.
Seven years hence, when the high.
way bonds arc retired. Mr.. Conwell
pointed out, the state will have a
fine system of roads entirely pnid
for. After that time the income
from license fees will be available
for maintenance. Meanwhile, he ar.
gued, the motorist who creates the
demand for improved roads should
pay his Just share Of the cost of
keeping them In condition.

There are something like Is, 900

the country.
Naturally, It is a radio dream that
same day each person may have his
own particular wave length so as to
carry on wireless conversations at
any time and place. The amateurs
Of today are approximating that
dream while the average radio user
knows nothing about it.
A listener-in here in Washington a
few nights age heard a local anna
teur calling by assigned signal mum.
Der a friend in Pittsburgh. He was
calling through the microphone and
said he was transmitting on $50
metres and 20-watt strength. He
asked for an answer on a lower
wave band, In n very few mo-
ments the answer came. Then fol.
lowed a conversation between the
two boys. Finally the lad in Pitts
burgh exclaimed:
You'll have to ring off. old fellow,

The amateurs are on the air at all
hours of the day and night, listen,
ing and ''butting in" but each and
every one of them is working in his
way to help solve the infinite
problems Of this new source OF com
m%unlcatlon. They are difficult to
keep in line, II Is true. More than
often. they step "out of bounds in
their unquenchable enthusiasm and
therefore the radio cops want mea.
