CHRISTMAS TREES A BIG
TORCH

Charleston. Dec. I9.-If admoni-
tions by the State Fire Marshal de-
partment are followed generally.
holiday festivities in West Virginia
this year will not be turned into
mourning because of fire. One of
the departments main injunctions is
against the use of candles for tree
lighting.
when the Christmas tree is trim
med and lighted. it is a big torch, :"
the department administers. MANY
of the presents are made of celluloid
which explodes and burns fiercely.
Other presents are made of lace and
embroidery which ignite from a
spark. Paper Christmas bells, cot
ton to represent snow. wooden toys,
dry branches of the evergreen tree.
all add to the danger of fire.
Think of the danger when light
ed candles are scattered promiscu-
ously through the tree! In this con-
dition, carelessness doesn't even have
to exert itself to cause death and
destruction.
Don't take foolish risks.
Don't use lighted candles on
Christmas trees. If you must have
lights. use electric lights, carefully
wired.
Don't use cotton, wool. tissue
paper or other inflammable decora-
tions. 1t is better to be safe than
sorry"
The Christmas tree, the depart
ment advises, should be mounted on
firm base and placed in a section
Of the room away from heating and
lighting fixtures. In place of the
dangerous cotton and paper decora-
tions, fake asbestos and powdered
mica should be used for snow effects.
Ornaments for the tree should be of
metal
Christmas trees become highly
combustible when they dry out from
the heat Of the room. and should be
removed immediately after the days

Homemade Remedy
Stops Coughs Quickly
The best cough medicine you ever
used. A family supply easily and
quickly made. Saves about So.

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
few minutes. 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-chil
dren like it--and it is pure and good.
Pour ~ ounces of Pinex in
pint bottle; then fill it up with plain
granulated sugar syrup. Or use
clarified molasses, honey. or corn
syrup, instead Of sugar syrup, if de
sired Thus you make full pint
a family supply-but costing no moro
than a small bottle of ready-made
cough syrup.
And as a 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, hoarsencss and
bronchial asthma.
Pinex is highly concentrated
compound of Norway pine extract
famous for healing the membranes
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for '2H ounces Of Pinex"
with directions and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
