Home Made, but
Ends Bad Cough
In a Hurry

To end a stubborn cough quickly, it
is important to soothe and heal the in
famed membranes, get rid of the germs
and also to aid the system inwardly to
help throw off the trouble.
For these purposes, here is a home
made medicine, far better than any
thing you could buy at 3 times the
cost. From any druggist, get Pa ounc-
es of Pinex. Put this into a pint bot
tie, and add plain granulated sugar
syrup or strained honey to fill up the
pint. This takes but a moment, and
makes a remedy so effective that you will
never do without, once you have used
it. Keeps perfectly, and children like it..
This simple remedy does three neces-
sary things. 1t loOsenS the germ-laden
phlegm and soothes away the infam-
nation. At the same time it is abb
sorbed into the blood, where it acts di-
rectly on the bronchial tubes. This ex-
plains why it brings such quick relief,
even in obstinate bronchial coughs and
''hu" coughs.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creosote, in
a refined, palatable form, and known
as one of the greatest healing agents
for severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

FINED FOR POOL
TICKET Sale
Held Gambling Devices by
Judge Collins.

Baseball pool tickets are gambling
devices, Criminal Judge James A.
Collins ruled today when he found
Otis I. Masten, l66 West Pratt street,
guilty of keeping room for manu-
facture and sale Of pool tickets ard
pool selling.
Masten was fined $500 on the first
count of the charge and 500 on the
second.
The question of whether baseball
pools are gambling devices has been
argued many times in the last few
months in municipal courts. De-
tense attorneys have asserted that
the tickets can not be considered
gambling devices until it is proven
that wagers were based on them.
They said pool tickets are similar
to playing cards in this respect.
Collins ruled that "all the para
phenalia seized by officers are gam
ing devices and the devices are to
be confiscated and destroyed by the
sheriff"

SALTS fine FOR
ACHING KIDNEY
When Back Hurts Fll
Your Kidneys by Drink
ing Lots of Water

Most folks forget that the kidney,
like the bowels, sometimes get slug
gish and clogged and need a flush
ing occasionally, else we have back
ache and dull misery in the kidney
region, severe headaches, rheu-
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid
stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts
of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kid
neys active and clean and the mo-
ment you feel an ache or pain in
the kidney region begin drinking
lots Of water. Also get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
drug store here, take a tablespoon
full in a glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys
will then act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is intended to flush clogged
kidneys and help stimulate them
to activity. 1t also helps neutralize
the acids in the urine so they no
longer irritate, thus helping to re-
lieve bladder disorders.
g ad Salts is inexpensive; makes
a delightful effervescent lithia wa
ter drink which everybody should
take now and then to help keep
their kidneys clean.
A well-known local druggist says
he sells lots of Jad salts to folks
who believe in trying to correct
kidney trouble while it is only
trouble.-Advertisement.

AVENGER FAILS,
so STAYS SELF
Tries to Kill Oregon
Assassin; DiSarmed.
BIZ Entted PreRa


MEXICO CITY, Nov. 14.-Cap-
tain Jesus Obregon committed sui
eide by shooting himself last night
after prison officials had disarmed
him when he announced his inten-
ton of killing Jose Leon Toral, con-
fessed assassin Of General Alvaro
Obregon. He is said to be nephew
of the late general.
The newspaper, Graflco, said in
an earlier report that Captain Obre-
gon drew a revolver in front of To-
rails cell in the federal district
prison, but was prevented from
shooting by guards.
Visitors at the prison yesterday
said that Toral was busy writing a
history of his case, which has oc-
cupied him almost entirely since the
end of the trial. He was sentenced
to death.
Mother Superior Conception, SEN
fenced to twenty years imprison-
ment in the trial with Toral, and
convicted of being the intellectual
author" of Obregon'S assassination,
has decorated the walls of her cell
with pictures Of the saints drawn
by herself. She expressed herself
as contented.

STATE LABOR
Will ASK BAN
ON INJUNCTION
Compensation Act Also to
Be Target at Session
of legislature.

Elimination of injunctions in Ia
Dor disputes and rewriting of the
workman's compensation act will be
the major detectives of Indiana la
Dor organizations in the state legis-
lature, opening Jan. 10.
This became evident here today,
when representatives of all state la
Dor groups began mapping out their
legislative program in conference at
the English.
Although final action had not
been taken this afternoon, labor
men were one in declaring strenu-
Gus effort would be made to wipe
the injunction weapon from In
diana's statute books, in so far as
it applies to labor disputes.
The 1927 legislative session grant,
ed increases in workmen's compen-
sation, but failed to make the IN
diana law comparable to those of
neighboring states.
Again, labor sentiment was out
spoken for eliminating the products
of prison labor from competition
with products of free labor; for re-
peal Of the $4,000 limit in State
liability laws; and for a law provid-
ing for Judgment in civil cases when
three-fourths, or five-sxths Of the
jury agree.
Bills to accomplish these objects
either died or met defeat in the last
general assembly.
Thomas N. Taylor, president of
the State Federation of Labor, pre-
sided at the conference, which was
attended by representatives of the
State Building Trades Council; In
dianapolis Central Labor union,
State BARRIERS assertion, Indiana
State Council of Carpenters, State
District of Machinists, United Mine
Workers, Districts and IL; State

CHEvROLETS IN
JAM ON USE OF
FAMILY NAME
Louis Has Arthur Hailed
Before State Official
to Show Right.

Chevrolet brothers, famous fiery
Frenchmen, whose name is known
throughout the world because of
their contributions to automotive
engineering, glared at each other
before the desk of Secretary of State
Frederick E. Schortemeier today.
Louis, the elder, had Arthur cited
before Schortemeier to show cause
why he should be permitted to use
the name Chevrolet Aviation Mo-
tors corporation. This name was
filed as that of new corporation,
which Arthur heads, and in which
stock is to be sold. The corpora
ton will build airplane motors.
Some time before formation of
the corporation, however, Louis had
filed papers of the Chevrolet Air
craft Company with the state. He
contended that the new corporation
had no right to the name chosen
because of similarity.
Right Lost, Arthur Claims
Arthur commended that when
Chevrolet Brothers Manufacturing
Company here, he lost the right to
the use Of the name Chevrolet. The
company made automobile motors
of special design.
"Why, have sold aviation motors
made at our Chevrolet Brothers fac
tory" Arthur told Schortemeier, with
a French shrug of his shoulders.
He looked meaningly across at the
elder brother.
Louis, once almost as famous a
race driver as the third brother,
CASTOR, who was killed, glared back.
eyes, you sold aviation motors,
but it was my customers who bought
them" he retorted.
Compromise Suggested
In the midst of the controversy,
Schortemeier emphasized the virtue
of getting along "as brothers
should" and suggested compro-
mise. "Let one company be known
as the Arthur Chevrolet Aviation
Motors Corporation and the other
as the Louis Chevrolet Aircraft
Company" he suggested.
At last this was agreed to ten
tatively by attorneys. Scion Carter
represented Louis and John Holtz-
man represented Arthur. The hear
ing got under way with a wrangle
between these two and Schortemeier
sent them out in the hall to try for
an agreement.
Gordon Griffith and B. p. Prunk,
interested in the company of Arthur,
were present. Griffith suggested a
closed hearing, barring newspaper
men, but Schortemeier ruled
against it.
Hearings in my Office on public
matters always are open," he de-
clared.
