reason is, pine has 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 2l5 ounces
of Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill up
with homemade sugar syrup. Or you
can use clarified honey, instead of sugar
syrup. This makes a full pint-more
than you can buy ready-made for
three times the money. 1t is pure, and
tastes good.
You can feel this take hold of a

LEWISTOWN, Pa, Sept. Sex.
animation today Of a bloodstained
towel and razor blades in the room
OF Frank r. Thompson, professor of
electricity at Rutgers College, New
Brunswick, N. J., led to the theory
by Coroner w. Arthur Barr and
District Attorney John /. Wilson
that the educator committed sui.
eide. Prof. Thompson's body was
found beneath his window in the
Coleman hotel here yesterday after
ne plunged three stories to the
ground.
Barr and Wilson examined the
hotel room, and questioned several
witnesses. They said they learned
that the educator had been ex.
tremely nervous and in i'll health
since coming here recently on a
visit. Examination of the body ne.
vealed his wrists had been cut.
First theories had been that Thomp.
son fell while leaning from the
window.
A coroner's jury will consider the
case, probably tomorrow.
