When YOurCOugh
Hangs On, Mix
This at Home

The best cough remedy that money
could buy, can easily be mixed at home.
II saves money and gives you the most
1eliable, quick-acting medicine you ever
used. The way it takes hold of stub
born coughs and chest colds, giving
immediate relief, is astonishing.
Any druggist can supply you with
21h ounces of Pinex. Pour this into q
pint bottle, and fill up with plain gran
u1ated sugar syrup or strained honey.
It's no trouble at all to mix. and when
you once use it, you will never be with
out it. Keeps perfectly and tastes
ROOd-children really like it.
It is surprising how quickly this
lOOaeRs the germ-laden phlegm, and
sOothes and heals the iphamed mem
branes. At the same time, part of
the medicine is absorbed into the
blood, where it acts directly on the
bronchial tukes, and helps the system
throw of che whole trouble. Even
those severe coughs which follow cold
epidemics, are promptly ended.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound Of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent Of creosote, in
q refined, palatable form. Nothing
known in medicine is more helpful in
cases Of severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

How Weak Nervous
Women CrowStrOnger
Feel Better Look Younger and
Have Steadier Nerves

If you only knew you rundown,
anemic women - who are dragging
yourself around on your nerve" =
what wonderful increase in strength
and health Tanlac will give you, you
wouldn't hesitate a moment about
going tosyour druggist and getting a
big bottle of this splendid medicine.
Mrs. Dora RobiIlard, of Bellingham,
Mass, RID. I, Box II, says: Il had
no digestion nor appetite. Sick head
aches laid me up in bed three days at a
time. l couldn't even do light house
work. Now l do all our cooking and
washing in addition to the other work. I"
Tanlac is as free from harmful drugs
as the water you drink-only Natures
own medicinal tonic herbs. Druggists
know this and for the past 10 years
have recommended it to men and
women who need a quick "pick up"
that will put them on their feet and
give them a new interest in life.
So confident are the makers of Tan
lac that if you are not helped by it,
you get your money back on request.

PRINCE GEORGE TAX IN 80 IS $q45034 EXCEEDS 29 FIGURE
POSTAL MONEY
TR|PLED

SILVER SPRING, Md, Jan. IL.
With approximately $50 per cent
increase in postal receipts during
the five-year period ended Decem-
Der 81, 1880, the Silver Spring
poStoffice has shown a growth
that probably is not equalled else
where in Montgomery county.
Postmaster Paul M. Coughlan,
of the local office, said yesterday
that he is especially proud of
the record during 1880, when
postal receipts jumped from $19,-
445.4 in 1929, to $24,029.02, or a
gain of $4,583.46. The money
order business during 1880 shows
1900 orders issued for $82 $50,
against 9,100 orders issued for
$75, 400 in 1929, or an increase
Of $7,086.59.
During 1925 the postal receipts
amounted to $7,269.65 as COM
pared with the $24,029.02 for 1880.
The personnel Of the Silver
Spring postoffice consists Of Post
master Coughlan, four clerks, four
city carrier routes, and one rural
route of SO miles and one Of "a
miles. The population served by
the office jumped from 1900 in
1929 to 1850 in 1880.

HAND|CAPS FAIL
To GUT COUNTY.
" REVENUE
Tiny Gain Despite Drought,
Reduction and Depression;
State Collections Decline

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Jan.
12-Registering an increase of
more than $4,000 during the last
eight months of 1880, as COM
pared with the corresponding
period Of 1929, collection of taxes
in Prince Georges county during
the period aggregated $945, ,034 .64,
against $685., ,098.43 last year, ac-
cording to Earnest Smith, county
treasurer.
This increase, it was explained,
Is surprising after the county tax
reduction, drought and general
business depression are consid-
cred.
Despite the county tax reduc-
ton from $1.36 to $1.35, county
taxes totaled $679, ,589.70, an IN
crease Of more than $4,000 over
the last eight months Of 1929.
Favorable Weather Helps .
At the end of September, it
was pointed out, tax collections
were more than $4,000 behind
the previous year. October,
November and December, how
ever, brought a favorable change
in weather and farmers, especially
those engaged in tobacco crops,
were enabled to ship and sell
their products. These sales re-
suited in large tax receipts.
The front-foot benefit charge,
levied by the washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission, netted
the greatest increase. These re-
ceipts during the latter eight
months Of this year amounted to
800, ,665.52, compared with $94.-
052.11 during the corresponding
period Of last year. The 10 cents
per 500 tax for the sanitary and
park and planning commissions,
It was shown, increased from
$27,866.24 in 1927 to $26,694.09 in
1880.
State Taxes Decline
State taxes collected in Prince
Georges during the period, how
ever, registered sharp decline.
These taxes this year aggregated
$118,S31.73. The State rate, how
ever, had been cut from 25.74 to
Is cents during the year.

PROBE FAILS

CUMBERLAND, Md, Jan. IL.
Four newspaper men were before
the grand jury as the result OF
the publication in a local paper
of an article headed: "Slot Ma
chimes Back In Operation Again"
The grand jury decided the ar
ticle was based on hearsay and
no indictments resulted.
The newspaper men summoned
were Frank Lee Carl, city editor;
M. Frank Prendergast, sports ed
itor; Richard P. McCardell, and
David H. Murrie. Mr.. Murrie, a
reporter, was taken before Judge
Doub when he refused to answer
questions. He claimed press inl-
munity under the State code.
Judge Doub ruled that the re-
porter must answer all questions
put to him by the grand jury.
The article told of the operation
of new machines in the Georges
Creek region and Murrie testified
he played a machine.

Delaware avenue between the station
and street, and from B street be-
tween Delaware avenue and First street
northeast.
Extension of the C street line east
ward from Delaware avenue to First
street east, and the building of a new
line on First street from B to the sta
ton. Thus, cars which now turn from
@ street into Delaware avenue will con-
tinue east to First street before
turning toward the station.
Trees to Conceal Tracks.
Beginning at New Jersey avenue, the
9 street tracks will take a slight turn
northward and begin gradual down
ward grade. For a snort stretch these
tracks will be uncovered, but Shrubbery
and trees will conceal them from the
vista between the Capitol and Union
Station. AS they approach North
Capitol street these depressed tracks
will enter the tunnel, above which will
be an ornamental circle and fountain.
Leaving the tunnel they will gradually
rise and be on the surface again Just
east of Delaware avenue.
When nearly all of the new trackage
has been built there will be four points
at which special track work will have
to be installed to form the final links
that will tie the new lines in with
existing tracks outside the Plaza area.
When these links have been made cars
viii begin running over the new routes
and the work of taking up the dis
carded routes will be possible
Architect of the Capitol Lynn will
open bids Thursday for the under
ground garage to be built between New
Jersey and Delaware avenues in part
of the square west of the Senate ONCE
Building, which is another feature of
the enlargement of the Capitol grounds.
