OFFERS A CUP
TO DEPT. MAKING
GREATEST SAVING
Governor Brewster Announces
Contest for Economy in Tele-
phone Calls and Office Sup
plies in the Next Six Months
-Congratulates Dep t.
Heads on Fine Results Al
ready Secured

Gov. Ralph o. Brewster announced
Monday at meeting of the sheads of
state departments in the council
chamber that the department show
ing the greatest percentage Of saving
in the next six months in telephone
tolls and office supplies will be pre-
scented with a cup.
Gov. Brewster congratulated the
department heads on the splendid re-
suits that have secured during the
present fiscal period by voluntary re-
trenchment along the lines Of the fed
eral budget by keeping as a reserve
10 per cent of the departmnt's appro-
priation. Under the system the dis
position of 10 per cent of the reserve
is held until the end of the year, this
taking the place of the old contingent
fund.
The use of stamps has practically
been abolished by the State House
departments, a machine having been
installed in the Capitol postoffice for
the work. 1t is anticipated that there
will be some saving in this direction,
and it is estimated that there will be
a saving of $1,000 per year in time by
eliminating the stamping and sealing
of envelopes.
The idea of economy in small mat
ters is in line with the address of
Brigadier General Herbert M. Lord,
director of the federal budget and a
citizen of Maine, in the hall of the
House of Representatives last winter
in which he told Of the economies
practiced at Washington In the most
minute matters. For instance. If an
official or an employee desires a new
pencil he is obliged to return the
stump of the pencil which has been
used. 1t is estimated that by this
scheme the sum of 100000 was saved
in one year.
'If you save pennies you cannot
help saving dollars in the conduct of
the states affairs" said Gov. Brew
ster.
This is the lesson of Benz. Frank
lin and Calvin Coolidge, continued
Gov. Brewster.

Believes Home
For Aged Pairs
Should Not Be
Aided by State

While in sympathy with the project
which has been started by Miss Eliza
beth Hanson of Bangor for the estab-
fishing of a home for needy aged
couples of the State of Maine, Secre-
tary CRUDE B. Cornish of the State
board of charities and corrections be-
lieves that such an institution should
not be aided by State funds.
Mr.. Cornish points out that the
State is now spending s2,500000 an
nually for charitable institutions and
work and that although the appeal is
a worthy one, the State has now
taken on all of the institutions it can
afford to operate or aid.
"There are homes for aged women
in Belfast and Rockiand which re-
ceive State aid to the amount of $500
a year." said Mr.. Cornish yesterday.
There is also a home for aged women
in Portland and homes for aged
men in Portland and Bangor. Some
Of these institutions are supported to
a large extent by the property or
money turned over to them by the in
mates.
II believe that a home for aged
couples could be supported in the
main by this system. For instance,
if an aged couple owned a farm and
decided that they would be better off
at an institution where they would
receive the care they need. they could
give the farm or the proceeds from
the sale of the farm to the institution
and in return they would be taken
care of by that institution for the re-
mainder of their lives"
If the home for aged couples could
not be made self-supporting in this
way any deficit should be made up

To Make Pine Cough
Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results.
Takes but a moment to make.
Saves about 81

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip-
tons and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have a 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 buya put PA ounces
of Pinex in 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
more than you can buy ready-made
for three times the money. 1t is
pure, good, and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of a
cough or cold in a way 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-
hamed membranes--and this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop it
usually in "a hours or less. Splen-
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse-
ness. or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, and is famous the world over
for its prompt effect upon coughs.
Beware of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "211 ounces of Pinex''
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
Lutte satisfaction or money refunded.
