Best Remedy for
Cough Is Easily
Mixed at Home

You'll never know how quickly a
stubborn cough due to a cold can 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-
BILE at all to mix and costs but triflc.
Into a pint bottle, pour 212 ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
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 a purer, better
remedy. 1t never spoils, and tastes
good-children like it.
You can actually feel its penetrat-
ing, soothing action on the intlamed
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 re-
lief even in those severe coughs which
follow cold epidemicS.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway Pine, containing the
active agent of creosote, in a refined,
palatable form, and known as one of
the greatest medicinal agents for severe
coughs and bronchial irritations.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

U. S. RED CROSS
CUTS EXPENSES
BY FIRING 300
Halt Hour Is Added to
Employees Work Day by
Organization.

e"ipps Hotoard Newspaper AfGanoe
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. - The
American National Red Cross has
entered into program of strict re-
trencnment. Partially as the result
OF a. survey conducted by a Chicago
nrn of efficiency engineers. one Of
whose members has Joined the Red
cross staff as personnel man, the
national relief organization has:
Laid off, since last July, between
300 and 400 field workers, account
ants, clerks and others.
Added one-haIf hour to the en-
ployes' work-day, causing Red Cross
employees to work seven and one
half hours as compared with the
governments standard seven-hour
day.
Cut some s25o,OOO from its annual
budget.
Withdrawn from the recreation
work in veterans hospitals.
Red Cross officials say they were
forced to take these steps because
OF reduced income. They point to
the spending of s5,OoO,oOo of their
capital funds for drought relief, to
gift of 100000 to Chinese famine
relief, drought aid in the northwest
still being dispensed, the deleting
of the veterans aid funds, and
other drains.
They say the discharged workers
we're per diem help" that had been
taken on for the period of last
years drought emergency.
The Red Cross will begin its an
nual roll call on Nov. II. Last year
this drive netted some $1,000 900 of
which S5,000,000 was spent by LOO
local chapters for family relief and
similar purposes. They are out for
an even larger fund from the forth
coming drive, which is to last until
Thanksgiving and which is expect
ed to augment other relief meas
ures.
Red Cross funds will go toward
unemployment relief through the
local chapters, 30 per cent of whose
expenditures are for family help.

tics Co., Inc, for the Associated Press:
News Trend.
Automobile production for the week
ended July Is showed decline, mainly
due to a further curtailment in Ford
output. The total output OF trucks and
cars, as estimated by Grams Automo-
tive reports, was 58,489, which COM
pared with so 1914 units in the preced-
ing week and 34,267 units in the cor
responding 1880 week.
Automobile production for June to-
tailed 249, 462 vehicles, compared with
315.115 in May and 334,506 in June,
1890. In the first six months l,563,478
vehicles were produced, while the total
for the first half of 1880 was 2,198,580
units. 1t has been estimated that the

CARE IN EXTENSIONS
OF CREDITS URGED
Department of Commerce
Reveals Unstable Character
of Foreign Business.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

The Department of Commerce asserts
care in the investigation of firms is
essential in granting requests for ex-
tensions or long credit in some Euro
pean countries.
Gable dispatches to the department
indicate the present situation has af-
fected the commerce and trade of all
countries and the economic interde-
pendence of nations is very evident.
These dispatches state the number Of
business failures in Germany is increas-
ing. During June there were LOTT
bankruptcies and 636 receiverships re-
ported, The commercial credit situa-
ton is very unfavorable, and the de-
partment suggests that caution be exer-
cised, even in transactions with old-es-
tablished houses
In Rumania, in order to do business,
many firms, both Rumanian and for
eign, have extended their credit poll
cles to the ultimate margin of safety.
In certain cases local firms have been
urged TO buy stocks on credit or to take
these on consignment or on long &C
ceptance drafts. In most Of the cases
the manufacturer has succeeded in get
ting his money after a time, but some
firms have suffered seriously through
this policy. American firms entering
the Rumanian market are SAID to have
found it advisable to use caution in
their credit policy. This does not mean
that credit should in every case be re-
fused, but the number of firms with a
recognized weakened financial position
Is large. In such cases it is suggested
the manufacturers would do well TO
ask for bank guaranty or other Sc
curity.
In Denmark actual bankruptcies are
running only slightly ahead of last year,
but compulsory property sales are con-
siderably greater, largely as a result
of the increased number of farm hold
ings which have been auctioned No
suggestions are made with respect to
this country.
In Switzerland credit is reported to
be more restricted, and collections are
slower. Traders are buying on a hand
to-mouth basis, thus curtailing advance
season buying, Autumn orders being re-
ported as exceedingly light.
The present condition Of trade In
Portugal is reported as stagnant. It
Is said that few lines of commerce or
industry are making satisfactory profits.
Care is suggested by the department in
investigating firms not known to be in
good standing at the present time.

rency and by declaring silver legal ten
der for unlimited amounts. is regarded
as an internal measure, in respect OF
both aim and effect.
Mexico's new monetary legislation
follows Immediately upon the appoint
ment of Plutarco Gales as president OF
the Bank of Mexico, and is referred to
as the Gales plan. The new decree is
not expected to have any influence
upon the country's external debt.
In the first place, the latter is in
complete default. and secondly the
contract calls for payment in gold.
It is also doubtful as to whether the
price of the white metal will be af-
fected, except perhaps sentimentally.
Improvement in the price of silver Is
however not impossible, if Germany
were to put through the much-talked-of
plan to issue one billion marks of new
currency in silver. because of the lack
of sufficient gold to cover additional
notes in circulation.

problems, resort to the formation OF q
bank. 1t will be recalled that at the
outbreak Of the war q bank known as
the Edge Bank was formed in the
United States to enable the country to
expand abroad commercially
Later, when America thought it could
capture Latin American trade at the
expense OF the European belligerents
the Mercantile Bank of the Americas
was created.
When the war was over Sir George
Paish suggested the formation of a bill
lion dollar bank to solve the worlds
economic problems. When the repara-
tons question became acute the Bank
for International Settlements was
brought into being. When foreign bonds
sell off sharply Montagu Norman rec
ommends the formation of bank to
handle long-term foreign loans.
When Brazil's fiscal position needs
drastic adjustment the republics ad-
wiser. Sir Otto Niemeyer, also recon-
mends the organization of bank. This
is gathered from Sir Otto's report just
published on Brazil, whose economic
problems he has been studying for sew
eral months at the request of the Bra
lillian government. The bank is to be
patterned after the United States Fed
eral Reserve system and loan OF
$50. 1000 900 is needed If the bank is to
start functioning successfully.
With Brazilian bonds selling at less
than bankruptcy prices. it would be OF
interest to learn how Sir Otto thinks
such loan could be raised. The ex-
perts report is silent on this point
although it does urge economies and
reorganization of government-owned
enterprises to the end that a maxi
mum return is made possible.
The problem which faces the in
vestor in Brazilian bonds or Brazilian
enterprises has not been solved. al
though Sir Otto recommends the pune
tual discharge of Brazils foreign obi
cations, public and private.

wage CutS Expected.
The Secretary of Commerce for the
United States, Robert P. Lamont, for
merly a strong advocate Of wage main
tenance. has changed his views on this
subject. Owing to the prolonged de-
preston, reductions in wages In some
instances are necessary, according to
Mr.. Lamont
1t is quite possible that Wall Street
is being prepared gradually for action
by leading enterprises in regard to the
lowering of wages.
Asks Exemption in Rate Raise.
Speaking on behalf of the National
League of Commission Merchants, Rob-
ert r. Blair, president of the commits
sion group, requests exemption of fresh
fruits and vegetables from the Is per
cent rate increase asked by the rail-
roads.
In letter to Gov. Roosevelt. Mr..
Blair points out that a Is per cent rise
would mean 100000 a year more in
freight charges. or 10 per cent of the
10000 900 increase in revenue, while
the commodities affected form only
1928 per cent of the total rail traffic.
While in sympathy with efforts to
improve the financial position of the
railroads. Mr. Blair feels that it would
be unwise to raise barrier that would
restrict the New York growers market
and deny the important but distant
producing sections freedom in meeting
the consumers requirements in the
great industrial centers of New York.
