When YOurCOugh
Hangs On, Mix
This at Home

The best cough remedy that money
could buy, can easily be mixed at home.
1t 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
PA ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a
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.
1t is surprising how quickly this
loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and
soothes and heals the infamed mem
branes. At the same time, part of
the medicine 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 follow cold
epidemics, are promptly ended.
Pinex is highly concentrated com
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creOsOte, in
a refined, palatable form. Nothing
known in medicine is more helpful in
cases of severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept a substitute for PineE.
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN !:

At the present time I am en-
joying the friendship of a very
nice man and find that only
what he calls a breach of eti
quette may end this friendship
unless you come to the rescue
very soon. I have gone out
with many young men and have
never had this silly argument
arise before-So needless to say
Is is annoying-especially con
sidering that I think a lot of
this friend, though he thinks l
am not showing my apprecia-
ton of his company when I am
with him. My friend in this
case argues that it is perfectly
proper and expected that when
a young lady" goes out with a
young gentleman-in order to
show him all respect due him
she should at all times take his
arm while they are in public.
I never do this. I have of
my free will made it a point
never to take my escorts arm,
The Washington times., 1930-01-29

the time being-or Whine his as
sistance is really necessary.
What Is your idea of girl
showing a young man she ap-
preciates his company at any
time? Do you know of any
specific way of showing such
appreciation? I am not dem
onstrative. Some people call
my attitude cool toward men,
think I'll remain cool-if be-
ing friendly means being dem.
onstrative.
Will you please let me know
what you think Of holding a
young mans arm in public?
MARY PALMER.
agree with you whole heart
eddy and most enthusiastically
in your attitude against TAX
ing the young mans arm.
There are several social details
that inevitably stamp a person
as "unaccustomed"-I almost
said "hick." One is putting the
handle Of the knife on the
table, as one rests the knife
or fork, too, as a matter Of
fact. Another is saying Pleased
to meet you" when acknow-
lodging an introduction. An.
other is saying Likewise" when
responding to Il am very glad
to have met you"
And another is for 2 girl to
drape herself on a mans arm
as they walk on the street or,
for instance. across a dance
floor. Although. of course. it is
far worse for him to take her
arm. This way of walking is
not in good form-perhaps be-
cause this is an independent
age-and a person OF breeding
has the same reaction to 1t
that Jou have.
There are better, ana finer
ways of showing interest in a
friendship and enthusiasm for
it. Vivid, vital interest in the
other persons interests and
activities, enthusiastic atten-
ton when he or she is speak
ing and enthusiastic responses
to the other persons comments,

DISCIPLINE
FOR SONNY

RATHER hesitate to tell you
a. this incident for the reason
tina it would not work with
every type of child.
Bob had been forbidden to go
skating on a nearby lake, with
good reasons being given him
that men were cutting ice and
it was not safe. He nodded
and said he would stay away
from the place. Then one
Saturday afternoon the mother
missed him, missed him for a
long time. She climbed into
the family car and drove to
the lake. There sat Bob on a
dock post, skates on his feet.

"No love and to cherish, till

the wedding service.
Here Is, indeed, a solemn
pledge-to love the life partner
you have chosen until you die.
Is love, then, a matter Of win
power? Can you be sure be-
cause you love a man today that
you will love him tomorrow? Is
1t ever possible to know whether
love will last? These are prob

Doubtful:
Dear Miss Fairfax: I have
been engaged to a young man
Tor over a year and am very
much in love with him, and he
with me, but I cannot make up
my mind about marriage. Here
is the problem:
When we were first engaged
we got along lovely. Naturally,
as we knew each other better,
there were little things we
found out about each other that
we did not heartily approve Of,
and there were times that we
did not get along at all-not that
we quarreled; I do not go in for
that, knowing that men do not
like to be quarreled with or
nagged at. But, instead of quar-
reling, we would just be peeved,
and stay away from each other
until we had forgotten. Some.
times we would not meet for a
week at a time.

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FOIIett,

It is not safe to disregard
the body's appeal for rest and
sleep. Fatigue signifies that
the temporary strength of the
body is wearing out and that
the blood is picking up fatigue
toxins. During sleep nerve
batteries are recharged and
every blood cell, every bit of
tissue and muscle fiber, is
picking up vitality. Without
restful sleep, the human phiz
will show wear and tear. Eyes
will go dull, the skin will be
pale, the hair will suffer and
the disposition will not show
any improvement. There will
be general dragging of beauty
feathers in the dust.
Skinny gals should take cod
liver oil. They should drink
milk, plenty of it. The day
should start off with the con-
sumption of a bowl of cereal,
rich with sugar and cream. Be
ing slender is one condition,
being Scrawny is something else
again not SO nice. The healthy,
beautiful body needs a padding
of adipose tissue to provide a
storage place for reserve en-
ergy and to produce graceful
lines.

WOMEN WHO
WORK
BY Lucy Lowell.

7 TITLE Mrs, David B. writes
- me a pathetic bit of a letter
begging to know what to do
about her husband.
I'VE were married only last
June" she walls, and, oh, Miss
Lowell, he doesn't love me any
more! I just know he wishes
we never had met!
And it is not as if I hadn't
tried and tried to make him
happy. You see, I had a good
position and we agreed that I
should go on working for a
while, and it seemed just Won
derful at first. But he likes to
go out evenings, and it's hard
for me to come home and get
dinner after working all day and
feel fresh enough to dance and
have a good time. And so he's
got so he goes out by himself
and stays till all hours. Of
course, I have complete conf
dence in David, but we're get
ting farther apart"
There is more of the letter,
but this will give you the pic
ture of what is wrong in that
household.
Of course, it is not an uncom-
mon difficulty; indeed, it is one
growing all too general these
days, what with girls feeling un-
willing to give up independence
and good salaries for the privi-
lege of keeping house and hay
ing babies.
In little Mrs. David'S case I
should say the solution is ve.y
simple; it boilS down to the
question of just what it is she
prefers. The wonderful" home
she had in the beginning before
she began to learn that the
struggle to be a wife and a
wage-earner at one and the
same time is rarely successful,
or independence With a possible
divorce looming on the hori-
zon?
Personally I believe that when
a girl cares enough for a man
to become his wife she should
care enough to give up her own
interests for the new ones mar
riage brings.
I realize that I shall meet
with objection to this on every
side, but it nevertheless is nv
opinion. I have seen too MANY
of the other kind of marriages
go on the rocks even when
home duties did not clash with
the wife's business life.
Therefore, I advise Mrs. B.
to give up her Job and devote
herself to her husband. Pro-
v1ded, of course, that she loves
her husband.

whether he loves you as much
as you love him.
We cannot, it is true, know
what the future holds. Ye-
when a man and woman are
truly in love with each other
they have faith stronger than
life-stronger than death
that their love will go on un.
til they die. Any love less sure
of itself, less absolute in faith
and devotion is not likely to
withstand the wear and tear,
the nerve-wracking trials and
intimacieS that marriage newt
ably brings. Love is victorious
love is the greatest thing in
life, only when it has glorious,
unheSitating faith in itself and
the future. So the wedding ser.
vice Is, after all, wise in it's
positive pleSge. For better or
worse, for richer or poorer, in
sickness and health, to love and
to cherish till death do us
part"
Since your friend does not
honestly feel he can promise to
love you through all the ex-
per1ences of life, had you not
better release him, my dear,
and wait until you find the
man who really is in love with
you?
A wife and husband need to
learn and win love afresh each
day, it is true, but they need
above all else to be able to
trust each other-to feel sure

MCDONALD YOUTH
IS BENZ & HELD
FOR OBSERVATION

LOS ANGELES, July II. U.p)-
Psychiatrists of Southern Califor-
MIA today began studying the
strange mental alteration that
caused LA Verne Mcdonald, seven
year old Long Beach boy, to hold a
playmate under water until the
child, James Rowland Ellis, ), died.
Responsibility for James death
was placed on La Verne by a cor
oner's jury after an inquest late
yesterday at Compton. The jury
recommended La Verne be held for
observation by Los Angeles county
juvenile authorities to determine if
possible the underlying reason for
the lads acts.
La Verne some months ago ad-
mitted whipping another boy with a
switch, aud il was brought out at
the inquest that he was known in
his neighborhood as Il "vicious"
child.
Authorities. however, were at a
loss to decide what action could be
taken against him. Admitting the
lad presented a plan ease OF psychic
sis, they pointed out he was too
Young to be accused of crime.
La Verne himself told the story
of little Jimmy's death without ev.
idence of emotion. He told police
after hours of questioning and re
peated ii at the inquest.
81 pushed Jimmy into the water
land he sat down." the boy said
'"I put my hands over his head and
pushed him under the water and
held him there"
"Did you see him any more" he
was asked.
"ies, he came up and then sank
down again. | threw his clothes
into the water and went home
why did you do it, La Verne"
There was a long silence before
he replied, "Wen, can stay under
water with my eyes shut for about
four minutes"
Mrs. Katherine Ellis, mother of
the victim, collapsed at the in
quest and was helped to her home.
