Splendid Recipe
To Stop A Cough
That ''Hangs On

The best cough remedy that money
could buy, can easily be made at home.
It saves money and gives you the most
reliable, quick-acting medicine you ever
used. The. way it takes hold of stub
born coughs and chest colds, giving
immediate relief, is astonishing.
Any druggist can supply you with
215 ounces of Pinex. Pour this into q
pint bottle, and fill up with plain gran
ulated sugar syrup or strained honey.
It's no trouble at all to mix, and when
you once use it you will never be with
out it. Keeps perfectly and tastes good
children really like it.
Itsfis surprising how quickly this
home-made remedy loosens the germ
laden phlegm, and soothes and heals
the infamed membranes At the same
time, it is absorbed into the blood,
where it acts directly on the bronchial
tubes, and helps the system throw off
the whole trouble. Even those severe
coughs which usually follow the "fu',
are promptly ended.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creOscte, in
q refined, palatable form. Nothing
known in medicine is more helpful ii
cases of severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept substitute for Pinex.
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

"Well, there are a good

rather dryly. Il had a
client the other day who
made an amusing analogy.
He cited tales of men sent
to the South Seas who drank
heavily, made love to native
girls, and, as the saying
goes, went native. And
he said that's what happens

and she smiled. "You

him. "I've travelled and all

has been promptly banked. Mr..
Macdonald was at his home in
Maine last week when the safe was
opened and it was not known until
today how much money the latest
thief had acquired. but the princi-
pal said this morning that it was a
very small amount. On December

he had banked all returns from the
recent school play, a school fair. and
the sale of Christmas seals, and had
made another trip to the Plainville
Trust Co. on the 21st with the last
receipts of the play.
This left but an infinitesimal sum
of money in the vault-a paltry
amount for the effort expended by
the burglar. So. to prevent future
thieves from spending so much

partment's expenditures for new

schools today made the kindly offer

with republican party leaders from

Mr.. Hoover probably will invite to

part in his campaign. These will in

the republican national committee,

at the Kansas City convention.
Mind Not Made Up
The president elect indicated
clearly today that he has not made
up his mind on the cabinet appoint
ments. The first task he set for hint
self was his Latin American good
will tour and he feels it is unneces-
sary to begin the cabinet selection
until he reaches the capital.
The primary purpose OF Mr..
Hoovers visit to Washington is to
confer with these leaders. While
there he also will ask for confer
ence with President Coolidge to
make a report on his observations
on the goodwill tour In addition he
will formulate a precise program for
his inauguration which he desires
to be as simple as any held in re-
cent years.
It j. no secret that Mr.. Hoover
has found amusement in some of

home is there and that he wants to
make arrangements regarding his
house and to pack his personal be-
longinss before entering the White
House. He also stated that il he
went direct to Florida, it would put
the senators and representatives
with whom he desires to confer at
great inconvenience.
It also was pointed out that

the inauguration. Garfield. Mckin-
