Stubborn Coughs
Ended by Recipe,
Mixed at Home

Here il the famous old recipe which
millions Of housewives have found to
be the most dependable means Of break
ing up stubborn coughs due to colds. It
takes but a moment to prepare, costs
little, and saves money, but it gives real
relief even for those dreaded coughs
that follow severe cold epidemics.
From any druggist, get 215 ounces Of
Pinex, pour it into pint bottle and ELL
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
gyrup or strained honey. Thus you make
full pint of better remedy than you
could buy ready-made for three times
the cost. It never spoils and tastes 30
rood that even children like it.
Not only does this simple mixture
koothe the infamed throat membranes
with surprising ease, but also it is alb
Rorbed into the blood, and acts directly
upon the bronchial tubes, thus aiding
Kke whole system in throwing OF the
cough. It loosens the germ-laden
uhle9m and eases chest soreness in
way that Is really astonishing.
P1nex Is q highly concentrated COM
mound Of Norway Pine, containing the
active agent Of creosote, in refined,
palatable form. Nothing known in
medicine is more helpful in cases Of
severe coughs and bronchial irritatiOns.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex:
Ik d guaranteed to give prompt relief
Or money refunded.

Advice to the 'Love|orn

I had, to quit on account Of an
attack of appendicitis.
I will be out Of school this
year. Yesterday this young
man came to see me and told
me he didn't love me any more;
that there was a girl at school
who attracted him very much.
He said he had felt differently
toward me for a month.
Don't you think it is strange
he waited until I was taken i'll
and had to quit school before
telling me? He said it was be-
cause he didn't want to worry
me when I was i'll. He says he
wants to remain a friend. That
he wants to be free to make a
date when he pleases. I gave up
dancing because he didn't ap-
prove of it. Now you see I've
drifted from several of my old
friends.
Should let him come on,
caring for him as I do, after he
told me he didn't love me? Or
should 1 try to forget him and
get my old friends back who be-
lieve in gayer times. S. B.
Get we'll first, my dear, and
then you will be able to arrive
at a clearer point of view in
regard to your various prob
lens. Your letter, which I had
to shorten considerably, tells
of many changes of plan on
account of poor health. Do
everything to get well and
strong, live out of doors as
much as possible and keep your
mind employed. Try and keep
up with your class in college
by doing as much outside work
as possible. AS for the young
man, he strikes me as a bit
priggish. Why should you give
up dancing for him? And
after you're feeling stronger,
I'd begin to go about with the
jolly boys and girls you knew
first. I don't mean wild
parties-nothing could be worse
for you.

us every bit as new and nice
as stitching, when we discov.

we've illustrated second from
the left. Most of us like this
seasons barets that are Graped
enough to be a tam because
they're so easy to wear. But
you'll like this one mostly, just
as we did, because Of those in
verted tucks that follow all
around the down and UP lines
of the hat. It's a model
"after," as they say, Marcelle

sketched the other hrim we
couldn't possibly resist-chiefly
because it's the kind of be.
coming brim it is, draped softly
down in front and cut to dip
really low on the right. The
left side is lifted high, but in
back the brim is deity draped
to lie inside the biggest OF fur
collars. But even if it didn't
solve the troublesome brim-in-
winter problem, we couldn't
have passed this hat by. Be-
cause it's so original, for one
thing. And because It's made
of suede felt. We adore the
rich look of that velvety, soft
surface. Though we're told you
may have the hat in plain felt.

Parents of the Engaged Couple
Dear Mrs. Beeckman: =
A young man, while attend

come engaged to a young lady.
Her parents and his live in the
same city but are not &C
quainted.
It is a foregone conclusion
that this young couple will wed.
Now the problem iS-who
should make the first gesture
toward the acquaintance of the
respective parents, the young
lady's parents or the young
mans parents? Should the
young mans parents call on the
young lady'S parents, or vice
versa. D.
If the couple really are en-
gagged, and the parents Of both
know it, it would seem the most
natural thing in the world that
they should meet, even if neither
fiance nor the fiance is in the
town in which the parents re-
side.
The best form would be for
the mother and father Of the
fiance to call on the mother
and father of the fiancee, since
she is the one who should have
the first welcoming visit.

After all we've been through

Simply, Beautifully Tailored
You certainly can't blame us
for snatching up a little brin1-

Of course. And we can't think
of any nicer way to have it
than tailored in a tiny cloche

cutest little, close-fitting tur'

feather fancy perched around

right out of a twisted ribbon

folded before it's twisted, dips
low around the right side. The
fourth sketch above shows just
that side view. You can't see
how folds of the ribbon soften
the line in front. You'll have
to take our word for that. But
you can see it is q grand little

And lastly-on the rights

For it's satin and a turban,
and the perfect complement to
those romantic after-dark gowns

Your Health
and Proper
Diet
By Logan CIendening, M. d.

By Logan CIendening, M. ID
A soon as your child is old
enough to begin to toddle
around, comes the danger Of
burns.
Accidents occur, of course,
while the child is still in the
cradle. Scalding water falls
on the skin. Flaring matches
fall from the hands Of the
mother or nurse. But these
hazards are increased a thou
sand-fold when the little adven-
turer in life begins to move
around and explore the world
for himself.
A Great Danger
There is even more danger
later when sister is big enough
to help mother by carrying a
kettle of boiling~ water. BY
reaching for a kettle on the
stove where it is a little too
high for her and may tip and
spill during her clumsy but
earnest efforts to lift it down.
When junior has become fas-
cinated with the mystery OF
fire and has begun to play with
matches. When bottles OF in
flammable cleaning fluid are
left so that they can be investl'
gated.
The greatest danger is from
hot liquids. The Milwaukee
children's hospital has pub
lished an investigation into
the burns treated in their hos
pital during the last few years.
There were 214 cases Gall in
children. Ninety-seven were
burned by hot water, 19 by
hot coffee, 4 by hot soup, 2
by hot milk and 2 by hot
gravy. This makes a total OF
1874 burned practically by the
same method-nearly two-thlrds
of the total.
The next largest number
were burned by fire-35. Only
4 were burned by firecrackers.
Two were burned by gun
powder. Six were burned by
contact with the metal Of a
hot stove.
Warning For Mothers
Other ways were by clean
ing fluid which ignited, a
steam pipe, and such chem
icals as iodine, ammonia, tooth
ache medicine, and especially
lye.
The lesson of these figures
is plain. The most dangerous
place for getting burns is the
kitchen. Your children should
not be asked or allowed to nelp
there until they are old enough
and big enough and strong
enough to protect themselves.
Water is one of the heaviest
substances in the world. Too
heavy for little hands and arms
to move a great deal Of it
readily. And it easily gets
out of control-it spills and
splashes and spreads out into
a broad stream which, when it
is scalding, Injuries a wide area
of skin. Then it's specific heat,
as the physicists say, is very
high; it retains high tempera-
lures for a long time.

To make the fact clear that
you have first b.. been over
called, and then made an in.
formatory double, this species
Of double is often called Sub
sequent double" The informa.
ton conveyed is that your suit
is not strong enough to stand
being forced (oblged to trump
leads of the adverse suit); that
you probably are very weak in
the adverse suit, but hold con-
siderable support for the two
unbid suits. Your subsequent
double says: Partner, unless
you hold at least three cards of
my suit, either bid your own
best make, or let the double
stand for a penalty in case you
are confident of defeating the
contract.
Suppose that you open con-
tracing with 2-Hearts on the
next hand shown; that second
hand lids 2-Spades, and that
your partner and fourth hand
pass. Tou should make a "subse.
quer1t double"
A4V A-K-J-1O-3 4 A-1O-7 = Q.J.9,5
But in case you hold the next
hand and the same thing hap
pens as did above, you should
not double; you d. not want
your partner to bid 3-DiamondS;
your trumps can not be pulled
in case opponents lead spades;
rebid your hearts.
MQ-J,9-5 VA.K-J.1O-3 &SA-1O.7 -
The rule governing when you
should double and when rebid,
is: When you hold only five
trumps, with rebidding values
largely in two side suits, double
in case of an adverse bid Of
your weakest suit; rebid in case
an adversary bids one Of your
strong suits.
The next hand shows how a
double may be repeated until
the double reaches the business
state" seeking a penalty.
