To End a Cough
 In a Hurry, Mix
 This at Home

To end a stubborn cough quickly, 1t is important to soothe and heal the in- famed membranes, get rid of the germs and also to aid the system inwardly to help throw of the trouble.
 For these purposes, here is home made medicine, far better than anything you could buy at 8 times the cost. From any druggist, get 2h ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to fill up the pint. This takes but . moment, and makes remedy 50 effective that you will never do with out, once you have used 1t. Keeps per. fectly, and children like it.
 This simple remedy does three neces- sary things. First, 1t loosens the germ. laden phlegm. Second, 1t soothes away the Inflammation. Third, 1t is absorbed Into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. This explains why 1t brings such quick relief, even In the obstinate bronchial coughs which follow cold epidemics.
 Pinex is a highly concentrated com pound of genuine Norway Pine, con taining the active agent of cre0sote, in . refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles.
 Do not accept q substitute for Pinex. 1t Is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

Chicago, III Approximately $12,O00 will have been collected and disbursed by the end of this winter among needy and unemployed
 veterans of the World war by the Chicago Stock Yards Post 333 of the American Legion, A. C. Feil,
 post commander, has informed the National Commission for Employ ment of the Legion at National headquarters in Indianapolis.
 The story of how the Legionnaires in the Chicago stock yards industry are meeting the distress of veterans in their vicinity was in response to a nationwide inquiry and campaign
 being conducted among the 10000
 posts of the organization. Replies so far received at Indianapolis, &C., cording to the National Commission, tell of thousands of veterans having
 been placed in work so far this win ter through Legion post efforts and that more thousands of jobs will be
 made available through Legion ef- forts by March ]. Howard F'. Saw age, of Chicago, past national com
 mander of the Legion, is national
 chairman of the commission. The
 Legion drive to end unemployment
 will continue until next fall, or until
 the conditions improve.
 "The Chicago Stock Yards indus try is divided up into three organ izations." Post Commander Feil | reported, namely: the Chicago Live Stock Exchange, with membership of 800, and the Traders Live Stock
 Exchange with a membership of $50. and the Union Stock Yard and Tran | sit Company, which employees a
 larger number of men to give the | k@ sI -4t al. <s<~., | Many of our members are members
 of the above mentioned organiza-
 tions and through them we have en-
 listed the one hundred per cent sup
 port of every member.
 | During 1921 when the situation with regard to unemployment was | about the same as it is now, the live stock industry was at it's height and
 we were able. at that time. to place
 through the Union Stock Yard and
 Transit Co and both Exchanges | 400 ex-servIce men. As the years went on many of these men were able to take advantage of better op- portunities and left the employment here and we were able to replace them with their more unfortunate comrades. We have been placing on an average of 100 ex-service men a year in positions that enable them to support themselves and families until their own lines picked up and
 they were able to go back to their l various professions.
 Last year depression hit the live | stock industry as well as it did all other lines of endeavor but as the busiest season of the live stock bus | mess Is in the fall and winter and more men were needed to take care | of the business we were able to place S1 men in permanent positions and 32 in part-time jobs.
 "The turnover of jobs Is naturally ; largely due to employing men of the | veteran age who. for the most part are looking for positions with quicker | advancement than can be obtained here. Through all our trials and | tribulations, the business men of the <! live stock industry have stood solidly behind us and we still have the pref | erence of placing service men first.

Legion Post Spends
 $12,OOO To Aid Vets
Approximately This Amount Will Be Raised By Chicago
 Stock Yard Post No. 333

During the month of November Traders Exchange, in conjunction with Stock Yards Post, organized a relief committee to handle unemploy- ment and the relief situation, in go far as men who were employed or had been employed in the live stock industry, and to all members of Stock Yards Post, whether in the industry or not. Each man em- ployed in the industry was asked to contribute small percentage of his salary each week covering a period of six months. The response to this was very gratifying and we expect that by spring this fund will have collected and disbursed approxi- mately $12.000 among the unem- ployed and, needy ex-3ervice men as we'll as those who are not service men, but who have been connected with us in business. We intend, of course. to keep up the work that we have been doing and hope by the time of the Detroit national con- vention of the Legion in the fall to give a supplementary report as good as this one
 We have always been of the opinion that a man who could earn his own living was better man for being able 10 do so than a man 10 whom we had to give charity. Therefore we have always worked with the idea in mind that job was the first thing q man should have. If he were disabled veteran we always felt that he should have the compensation to which he was entitled, rather than aims, and the records of our service office will show that we are one of the out standing posts of this community in

Insurance Company
 Suit Defendant
Refuses to Pay Court Judg-
 ment of Sl,OOO

An interesting automobile case is being heard in the common pleas court here in which the plaintiff is endeavoring to recover judgment previously granted. The entire morning was occupied with argu- ments of counsel as to the admit tance into the records of an allega- tion made by the plaintiff.
 The suit is the result of the case of Ada D. Rochon against Fred A.. and Mrs Josephine Spencer Miss Rochon sued to recover for injuries she suffered when a car in which she was riding was struck by the Spencer machine at Sunnyside ave- nue and Riverside street on Decem- Der 21, 1929. The plaintiff alleged that Phillip Duphiney was operat- ing the Spencer car with the Spen- cers permission. A common pleas jury returned a verdict of $1,000 in favor of Miss Rochon
 The Preferred Accident Insurance Co of New York insurers of the Spencer machine refused to pay the judgment on the grounds that 1t was not proved that Duphiney was driv- ing the car. Attorney Michael V. Blansfield and Attorney Harry Kra- SOW, representing Miss Rochon filed suit againstt he insurance company to recover this judgment, returned on May 28, 1880.
 Attorney Lawrence l.. Lewis and Attorney J. Warren Upson, repre- senting the insurance company ap- peared for the company when the judgment suit was started before Judge Miles r. McNiff this morning Attorney Lewis objected to the com plaint as presented by plaintiffs s counsel on the grounds that the complaint alleged that Duphiney was driving the Spencer machine at the accident. Plaintiffs counsel argued that the allegation was in the or iginal complaint and that even though Duphiney denied he was driving the Spencer machine at the time of the accident. the jury found otherwise and brought in the plain tiff's verdict. Defendants counsel
 argued that simply because the complaint states Duphiney was driv- ing the car, is not proof that he was driving the machine and object to the admittance into the record of the allegation found in. paragraph four of the complaint.
 Counsel for the plaintiff point out that two demurrers of the de- fendant, setting forth the same de- fense, have been overruled by the court. Judge McNiff took the ar- guments into consideration at noon time and is expected to render q de- cision within . few days.
