PERFECT TASTE,
STRAUSS RULE.
Low Prices on Fine Apparel
Stressed at Store.

Santa Claus is going to display a
marked practical turn of mind on
his Christmas visits this year, is the
belief of L. Strauss & Co., and he
is going to find that conditions have
given him a very fortunate break. !"
The low prices that prevail on
silks and woolens and particularly
on neckwear, shirts, robes, pajamas
and other masculine accessories that
always have had favored spot on
Christmas trees are going to make
it decidedly easy to give Indian
apolis "hims" gift that not only
are practical, but thoroughly appre-
ciated and in perfect taste.
Christmas stocks at this popular
store have been selected with the
idea that good taste has not dis
appeared because of the persistent
hard times.
However, due consideration has
been given to the fact that most
people will be anxious to malae
Christmas dollars go as far as pos
sible.
Mothers, wives and sweethearts
can make these purchases, too, with
perfect confidence no matter what
eXacting tastes they may have to
please.
Sales people throughout the en-
tire L. Strauss & Co. store are
trained style experts when it comes
to picking out any of those fur
nishingS that gladden. the masculine
recipient.

Best Remedy for
Cough Is Easily
Mixed at Home

You'll never know how quickly
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-
bic at all to mix and costs but a trif1e.
Into a pint bottle, pour 21a ounces
OF Plnex; 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 purer, better
remedy. 1t never spoils, and tastes
gOod-children like it.
You can actually feel its penetrat-
ing, soothing action on the inflamed
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 a 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.

dena college students endured

cause they had forgotten to
bring a can opener, their story
revealed today.
Pete Decote, 81, and Edward
Harrison, 10, set sail for Cata-
lima island, their sloop loaded
with canned food. Just off the
island a sudden squall demol-
ished their mast, and they
drifted for two days before be-
ing rescued.
They were unable to open
any Of their canned food, they
said, because they had fogot-
ten a can opener, and were
famished when picked up.
