Best Remedy for
Cough Is Easily
Mixed at Home

You'll never know how quickly
stubborn cough or chest cold "qn 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 tritie.
Into a pint bottle, pour 21a ounces
Of Pinex; then add plain graduated
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 purer, better
remedy. 1t never spoils, and tastes
good-children like it.
You can actually feel its penetrat-
ing, soothing action on the infiamed
throat membranes. 1t is also absorbed
into the blood. where it acts directly
on the bronchial tubes. At the same
time, it promptly loosens the germ-laden
phlegm. This three-fold action explains
why it brings such quick relief even in
severe bronchial coughs which follow
cold epidemics.
Pinex is a highly concentrated couE
pound Of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creosote. W
a refined, palatable form, and know9
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 relies
br money refunded.

NONP ARTISAN
FAIRGROUNDS
BOARD URGED
White Pleads for Adoption
of Merit Only System
in Appointments.

The proposal of the Council of
Social Agencies and the city recrea-
tional committee that nonpartisan
board be named to hold competi-
tive examinations for applicants for
city recreation department positions
was lauded today by John F. White,
city councilman and advocate of
city civil service.
The report of Eugene T. Lies, di-
rector of the recent recreation sur
vey, recommended the employment
of recreation departmnt personnel
on the merit basis instead Of as a
reward for political work.
To All Departments
White declared the merit plan
should be extended to the employ
ment of officials for all city depart
ments.
1.-THE plan advocated by Lies is a
fine one" declared White, former
member of the Duvall administra-
ton police civil service board. White
urged Mayor Slack to re-establish
civil service in the police and fire
department and the city council
adopted q resolution unanimously
advocating the merit plan.
''It is a good plan, but it will re-
uuire some work and study" said
Edward H. Harris, city council
finance chairman.
Good in Theory
Robert E. Springsteen, council
man and member Of the recreation
committee, declared the plan is good
in theory, but likely would not work
out in practice under a political form
of government.
Ferd L. Hollweg, chairman Of the
luncheon Tuesday at ChriSt'S church
parish house where Lies presented
his recommendation, urged that
Mayor Elect Reginald H. Sullivan
carefully consider the plan of OBJ
tanning experts to pass on the abil-
ity of recreation employees rather
than to name them on basis of
political allegiance.
Sullivan declared he is DESTROYS
of cooperating and will give con-
sideration to the recreational study.
IT would not want to commit
myself until I give careful study
to the recommendations" Sullivan
said.
Little Improvement
DR.. c. F. Stimson of the recrea-
ton and playground association of
America, pointed out there has
been little improvement from one
administration to another under
the political form of government,
citing Cincinnatis city manager
form as an example of efficiency.
DR.. Stimson appealed to the III
telligent citizens to see to it that
too much pressure is not directed
at Sullivan in making such ap-
pointments
He cited the recreational program
as an opportunity to render a high
form of human service and declared
it "a stupid political act and a mis-
demeanor to fail to provide the city
nonpolitical recreational activities"
