 Representative Dominick F. Hunt, democrat, Danbury, won applause from both sides of the house when he appealed to "some republican" to introduce a measure resembling the acts of the commission created by the last assembly to choose site for g. reservoir at DanDury and remov- ing such authority from the common council and superintendent of water, Hunt declared at least one district at Danbury had switched from re- publican to democrat in yesterdays municipaly election solely because of the reservoir commissions acts.
 Hunt declared any resolution re- scinding the commissions acts in- troduced by a democrat would be de- feated and appealed for republican to put in the measure, restoring the site-choosing authority to the com mon council and superintendent of water.
 One of the bills rejected by the house was the judicial councils measure to permit lawyers to appear for their clients in certain court hearings without the presence of the client required.
 Bills passed by the house included two which the senate previously had adopted, transferring six $2.400-year bakery inspectors from the depart ment of labor, soon to be headed by a democrat, to the dairy and food commission, and providing a fine of s10,000 or 10 years in prison or both for persons convicted of benefiting from the acts of an embedding pub lie official, agent or employe or fiduciary agent.

ECONOMY

Ready-mixed concrete can be purchased more economically than it has previously cost to purchase materials and mix 1t on the job, because, sand, ce- ment and crushed stone are received in carload lots and car ried to the storage bins in this new plant by means of con- veyors and suction equipment, thereby eliminating all handling expense.

SPEED

Ready-mixed concrete will mean an enormous saving in time. The forms can be erected. and if these forms are in such position that our delivery trucks can back up to them, the concrete will be poured directly into the forms, thus effecting ut- most speed in placing the concrete.

Ready-mixed concrete offers a great convenience to the home owner desiring to use 1t { around his home. He does not require a large mixing box and tools which are necessary . to mix the concrete himself and he eliminates the strenu- ous labor necessary to pre- pare concrete by the old method.

Best Remedy for Cough Is Easily
 Mixed at Home

You'll never know how quickly stubborn cough due to cold can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, because it gives more prompt, positive relief than anything else. It's no trou- ble at all to mix and costs but trifie.
 Into a pint bottle, pour 21a ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to make full pint. This saves two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough medicine, and gives you a purer, better remedy. It never spells, and tastes good-children like it.
 You can actually feel its penetrate ing, soothing action on the infiamed throat membranes. It 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 re- lief even in those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics.
 Pinex is a highly concentrated com pound of Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refinedf palatable form, and known as one of the greatest medicinal agents for severe coughs and bronchial irritations.
 Do not accept a substitute for Pinex It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.
