Best Remedy for
Obstinate Cough
Made at Home

You'll never know how quickly a
stubborn cough or chest cold can be
conquered, until you try this famous
recipe. 1t is used in millions of homes,
because it gives more prompt, positive
relief than anything else. It's no trou-
bic at all to mix and costs but a trihe.
Into a pint bottle, pour 212 ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup or strained honey to make
a full pint. This saves two-thirds of
the money usually spent for cough
medicine, and gives you a purer, better
remedy. 1t never spoilS, and tastes
good-children like it.
You can actually feel its penetrat-
ing. soothing action on the infamed
throat membranes. It also promptly
Ioosens the germ-laden phlegm, and at
the same time, it is absorbed into the
blood, where it acts directly on the
bronchial tubes. This three-fold action
explains why it brings such quick
relief even in severe bronchial coughs
and ''fiu" 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 bron-
chial troubles.
Do not accept substitute for Pinex.
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

BIZ Times Special
PARAMOUNT, Ind, Oct. 22.-
Despite a police guard, rejected
sutton of Miss Vernon Tell, La
fayette, appeared at her wedding
here to Paul Winslow. The loser
in love was armed with two re-
voiverS.
The bride and members of her
family had received letters declar-
ing the ceremony would not be
held, and therefore obtained serv-
ices of police for guard duty at
the home of her parents.
While officers were at the rear
of the home, the sutton appeared
at a window, carrying a flashlight
and the revolvers. He pointed the
weapons toward the couple, but
seemed to have difficulty in pulling
the triggers. The couple fed to
another room while others present
rushed out of the house in an
effort to capture the unlimited
wedding guest. He escaped.
After the wedding, friends in
autos formed an escort for the
couple for all but twenty-five miles
of the distance to Lafayette.

AL PREPARES
FOR LAST DRIVE
ON EAST COAST
Governor Goes GoIfiag to
Fit Self for Cyclone
Campaign Windup.
BY PAUL r. MALLON,
United Press Staff Corresnondent

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 22.-Ignor-
ing the Republican invasion of his
native state, Governor Alfred E..
Smith packed his golf bags on his
shoulder and set out for the links
today to get himself in physical trim
for a sweep of the Atlantic Seaboard.
Starting Wednesday, he will begin
an intensive campaign, from Boston
to Baltimore, speaking in most OF
the larger cities. He will broadcast
at least five and perhaps more adj
dresses over national network. He
will wave his brown derby on the
route from Massachusetts to Mary
land and he confidently expects his
effort will bring him the presidency.
His first speech will be in Boston
Wednesday night, largely an appeal
to labor based upon his record as
Governor of New York.
In Baltimore Later
On Thursday he will move on to
New York to plan the remainder of
his itinerary and it is doubtful
whether he will return to Albany
before election day, two weeks from
tomorrow. 1t is expected he will go
to Baltimore for speech Friday or
Saturday, and thereafter speak In
Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
His base headquarters probably
will be established In New York for
the remainder of the campaign, so
he can keep in close touch with
his campaign manager, John ]. Ras-
kob, and other officials. None of his
addresses has been written, but he
has general outline of them in
mind and intends to write each
speech the day before it is to be
delivered, so that he may keep it
up-to-the- minutes.
Concentrating on the east, the
Governor is satisfied he has. done
all he could with the west. He has
announced his belief that he will
carry every state he visited on his
second tour-Virginia, North Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama,
Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
Al Is Confident
The large and enthusiastic crowds
that greeted him everywhere he has
interpreted as meaning an unex-
pected sentiment for the Democratic
ticket.
when you keep them in their seats
now, they're interested" he said.
1T used to be that half of the
audience would walk out on a speak
er. Nobody walked out on me. They
were interested"
The Governor finished his Strenu-
GUS trip in much better physical
condition than some other members
Of his party. Mrs. Smith was
fatigued and seU=scal newspaper men
who accompanied the party were
laid up for physical repairs. But
Smith came through smiling.
