To End a Coueh
In a Hurry, Mix
This at Home

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 anything
you could buy at 3 times the cost. From
any druggist, get PA ounces of Pinex.
Pour this into a pint bottle, and add
plain granulated sugar syrup or strained
honey to fill UP the pint. This takes
but moment, and makes a remedy SO
effective that you will never do with
out, once you have used it. Keeps per-
fectly, and children like it.
This simple remedy does three neces-
sary things. First, it loosens the germ
laden phlegm. Second, it soothes away
the inflammation. Third, it is absorbed
into the blood, where it acts directly
on the bronchial tubes. This explains
why it brings such quick relief, even
In the obstinate bronchial coughs
which follow cold epidemics.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com.
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creosote, in
q refined, palatable form, and known
as one of the greatest healing agents
for severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept substitute for Pinex.
II is guaranteed to give PROMPT relief

WHETHER women are poor
J" sports or not is a matter
of opinion. It is a matter Of
opinion whcih will be dictated
by the type Of woman you
know best; by her outlook on
life, her interests, aims, occu-
patton, If any, and her code
of ethics or her lack Of code.
There was a time. rather
long while back, when women
were considered incapable of
good craftsmanship. They would
take the breaks gladly-too
gladly, it was claimed but
they would yell like Indians
when things went against them.
This tradition was a sort Of
pal of that which maintained
women to be devoid Of humor
this last having been dis
proved several hundred times
by women commandments, wo-
men writer's and just women.
The other tradition, it seems
to me, has been disproved like
wise, provided. of course, that
it required disproving.
The fact of the matter is
that some womeE are good

Christmas joy can be won
derfully enhanced if you will
let your children make some, if
not all, of the gifts they intend
to give. Now is the time to
think of these gifts.
The younger the child, of
course, the shorter should be
the period of work on a gift,
and the simpler. It is better
not to let a very young child
start a piece of work too intri-
cate for him and fail to COM
plete it, for from this attempt
he will derive a sense of failure,
and a loss of interest in the
whole affair. So, in the fol
lowing suggestions I have kept
away from much sewing, even
though your little girl may
be eager to attempt it. The
sewing of simple things which
can be finished in one or two
work periods are more SatiSfac-
tory than the more elaborate
and close work.
A very simple present, and
one that even q very small

child can make is a group Of
IL blotters with the calendar
for each of the II months
pasted in the upper left corner.
Dark green blotters with the
small calendars, and the whole
tied with a bright red ribbon
makes an attractive and very
useful gift for the desk.
One tiny girl, whose grand
mother was a domestic person
loving to work in her large,
light kitchen, made q pleasing
gift by buying a medium-sized
plant pot, filling it with earth
and planting parsley seeds in
it. One can find such gay,
flower-covered plant pots now
in red and green or orange
and green that it is a tempta-
ton to get one even If there
seems to be no immediate us
for it. Surely any mother or
grandmother would welcome q
little container of this type,
holding growing parsley for gar
niShing roaStS. The decorated
pots are inexpensive, but per

Laziness
Guilty Simply of Acidity!

More than one man today is mis-.

cause of a not understood physical
condition rather than any lack of
willingness or ability.
SO many of us are only half our
selves, only so per cent efficient, be-
cause We are victims of an insidious
condition of acidity! That persist
ent tired feeling-that clouded mind
that lack of dash and fire-that
missing punch that decides so many
situations in business-are all usu,
ally due to an acid system.
Acidity Is brought on by our I'M

and irregular hours. 1t impairs d.

Bryce was a happy man when
a copy of that telegram was
shown him, Radios were broad
cast from every station. "A
message was sent to Drummer:
IF you know Guy Elliott's
whereabouts, please wire that
he has exclusive rights to his
patents. relinquish all to
him. Let him get in touch
with me. The rights are al
ready signed over and shall
be delivered"
Then they waited. One day
two days. Not an answer.
In those 48 hours William
Bryce suffered torment he had
not deemed it possible for
human to endure. Compared
to this, the death of his only
son was kind For that had
been mere grief mere
stark tragedy. But 1t was
a thing that happened In
human world. This other be-
longed to the realm Of fiends.
He found no relief except in
adding more planes to the
search-more men to comb
parks and highways.
Driven to the last extremity,
he revoked a trust fund made
out to his grandson. The boy
will be penniless, he thought,
bitterly, from the depths of
unreasonable anguish, but
he'll be ALIVE!"

a ransom note: Bryce, get

it in a certain spot when

Field. She carried books as
though she had come from
school. She waited 10 or Is
minutes and then climbed into
the cabin. When the me-
chanics started tuning up the
motor in obedience to orders
telephoned, presumably by Guy,
the girl had poked her head
laughingly from the cabin. This
was the last time anyone had
actually seen Pat Dawn.
about a quarter Of SIX" said
Don Morse, mechanic at the
field, II removed the blocks
from the wheels Of Mr.. Elliott's
plane. He took off Immediately.
Mo- can't positively swear
that it was Mr.. Elliott. It was
getting dark. 7 didn't see him
come into the field. No, I didn't
see him climb into the cockpit.
I'd gone back to the hangar.
Then he called and motioned
that he was ready. I went out
and took away the blocks.
"At the time I was certain it
was Mr.. Elliott. It was some
one very familiar with the
working of the plane. That I
can swear"
So Tuesday evening at 6
o'clock Guys abandoned auto,
with the gold hairs of the child
found on the mat, and Guys
missing plane furnished the
sole evidence on which a
theory could be built.
Had Guy Elliott done this
had he stolen the child Of
Barbara Bryce? And why?
The relatives most poignantly
concerned threw little light on
the mystery. The police bad
gered William Bryce. Had he
an enemy-a disgruntled en-
ploye-a business rival-a client
made revengeful because of
money losses? Think back,
now.
Bryce told of his break with
Guy and of Guys threat.
The police seized on this. but
they kept it quiet. They sum-
moned Laura Dawn and Guys
sister, Sallie.
Laura admitted that her
daughter was engaged to Guy.
When pressed, she also admitted
that she was aware Of a dis
agreement between the youth
and his partner. But, no. she
had not heard Mr.. Elliott
threaten revenge. He was in
capable TO such a move. He
was but a kind and happy boy.
No, her daughter had not eloped.
She was not unhappy at home.
OF her own volition Patricia
Dawn had not disappeared.
Laura now paced feverishly
up and down her living room
in and out of the garden. She
did not mention her own affair
with Bryce. She wondered if
this we're in any way concerned.

With bursting heart she went
over the interview-over every
word Guy had reported. Would
it hurt or help If she spoke Of
this?
Guys sister was even more in
the dark. Her brother had
phoned about IL o'clock on Mon
day. He had inquired about
telegram. He seemed depressed.
The telegram was ordered pro-
duced. Bryce was shown this.
He sat in the office of the detec-
tiveS. The captain handed him
the yellow slip Of paper.
And suddenly William Bryce
shook back his head and laugh

mind. This telegram solved the
mystery.
1t was that message Carl
Drummer had sent: Our offer
