Stubborn Coughs
 Ended by Recipe,
 Mixed at Home
savess2. No Cooking! So Easyl

Here is the famous old recipe which millions of housewives have found to be the most dependable means of break ing up stubborn coughs. It takes but moment to prepare, and costs very little, but it positively aas no equal for quick, lasting relief.
 From any druggist, get 21aa ounces of Pinex. Pour this into pint bottle and fill the bottle with granulated sugar syrup, made with 2 cups of sugar and one cup of water, stirred a few mo- ments until dissolved. No cooking need ed-it's- so easy! Thus you make a full pint of better remedy than you could buy ready-made for three times the cost. It never spells and children love it's taste. :.
 This simple mixture soothes and heals the unframed throat membranes with surprising ease. It loosens the germ-laden phlegm and eases chest sore ness in way that is really astonishing.
 Pinex is a highly concentrated com pound of Norway Pine, the most reli- able healing agent for severe coughs. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

Deputy Aviation Commissioner Jack Lennox has issued state ment to the effect that there will be no state investigation of Sunday afternoons smash-up at Bethany when a bi-plane piloted by Waiter F.

 But by this time the. drys were playing the game, too. The Anti Saloon league had seized the leadership from other dry organi- zations. 1t gradually gained the support of most of the evangelical churches. and the churches as such were in the flint up to the hubs.
 Wayne B., Wheeler, able organ |izer, brilliant lawyer, relentless foe of the saloon, and for years the real director of the leagues work, testified that it spent not less than $35,000,000 in 30 years work.

The Corpse Is Rising!

To this day, of course, the vets have insisted that they were job- bed, and the drys have insisted that ratification was an inevitable and logical result of long progress.
 The Volstead act was passed in jig time by both house and senate having been carefully prepared in advance with the help of the Anti- Saloon league. President Wilson vetoed it on 8 technical ground, but it bounced back to him the next day with an overwhelming majority.
 The climax had come. A cause to which thousands of devoted men and women had given years of service had triumphed. The golden dream had come true.

{ In July, 1917, Senator Morris Sheppard's resolution to submit a bone-dry amendment went through the senate. most of the short de- bate was concerned with it's war aspects.
 Then it passed the house, with provisions allowing the brewers a year of grace. after final adoption. and allowing seven years for that adoption. There was much else to think about.

How Prohibition Came

When the World war came. there were again 13 bone-dry states, but most of the others had various forms of control, local option being the most popular. Centralization in Washington, drastic measures of all kinds, became the order of the day. Everything German, includ- ing the brewers and their beer, be- came suspect.

 Many of the plants which have beefl kept in condition by the man. ufacture of near-beer are ready to start producing at . moments noe lice. Owners of others are getting cash ready to plunge into refitting their plants as soon as they see daylight ahead. The stocks of breweries and allied industries, such as cork and seal companies and bottle makers, have been soar ing on wings of hope. Cleveland makers of bottling materials have received a flood of orders.
 There have been many financial congratulations, like that by which Pabst of Milwaukee was recently absorbed by the Premier Malt Products Co of Chicago. Pabst fs an old brewery tracing back to 1S44, while the Premier Co Is of post-prohibition date, and has be- come one of the largest makerc of malt syrup in the country.
 There have been many such re- interpretations, consultations, re- capitalizations, and other ready ings for beer throughout the coun- try. In Pittsburg 50,00O shares of the reorganized Fort Pitt Brew- cry were sold in two hours.
 No less than 211 breweries throughout the country are ready to start shipping beer the minute the law permits. They have stocks on hand which insure no delay. It would take week perhaps to issue the necessary permits.

 That helped smooth the way in the state legislatures, as did the fact that nine more states went dry during the war. The states rapidly fell in line, and on January IS, 1919, the thirty-sixth state, Ne- braska, ratified.

I shall have letter worth millions, Herr Birndl As & matter of fact I've hit on marvellous invention Who's going to believe that, I think to myself. He only wants to give himself airs. do you see, because he's an engin- ger and hasn't enough to eat. and so he takes 1t out in big talk. But he's proud.

Well, you'd only to look at the man to Sc he was starving. At my invi- tation, Herr Martin I said. seeing my old woman was so keen on fin- esse, and so the three of us went to the Schwoisshackel.

He doesn't know what he's talking about there, but when 1t comes to swim ming, ye gods and little fishes. said Herr Birndl, Vas he brought down his fist on the table for Herr Eggenhofer's edification, you should just see him jump from the high springboard and take a som- ersault into the water. You'd never believe 1t till you saw him. That's a style of my own, Herr Birndl. he says and laughs.
 He talks like proper gentle man. Got 1t in his blood, you can tell that. University man-engineer. he tells me. Out of job now, he says, and a man must live, he says. and so, you see, he's a swimming instructor for the summer. You've got to bite on 1t, he says, and then he clenches his teeth till you can hear them grind. And he's proud --oh, he's proud as anything. I'm a sportsman he says, 'an amateur It's true I've passed out as swim ming instructor, but that's only by | fessionals.' That's the way he talks like a proper gentleman" At this Herr Eggenhofer shook his head in astonishment.
 But now Herr Binndl had got to going well and poured out all there was to say of the new swimming instructor in one uninterrupted flow. My old woman could stand the whole day listening to him. He wears little bathing slip only few inches long, just little three cornered affair-and let him. if 1t pleases the ladies. Get back to your Kitchen, 1 says to my old woman.

through the mud. and then, when they reached a small pine wood, trod firmly over roots and crumbl- ing shale until finally he crunched happily in the loose shingle of the promenade. These new shoes of his were no trifiing matter. They had cost him his last penny.
 Throwing back his head he gazed around at the overcast landscape. Suddenly two chestnut trees fell away at either side. and he stood on the edge of the lake. It stretch ed iron-gray before him, and it's tiny waves lapped the embank- ment of the little promenade. One or two landing stages rocked at their chain n-moorings, and the wind that came from the western shore far away and scarcely discernible through the drifting mists passed like a moist hand through Martins light blond hair. for Martin always went bareheaded, partly on princi- pie, partly because he had no hat. He laughed without knowing why. The joy of the water tingled in his veins and ran through his limbs with an intoxicating freshness.
 Aren't there any boats out?" he asked in surprise.
 "The weather's to bad. Nobody would chance it," the boy replied. "The lakes so treacherous. One moment you think it's all right, the next there's a squall and you cant row the boat. Last week there were some people nearly drowned. The lake takes some knowing; it's real treacherous."
 Martin gave a whistle.
 "I suppose they aren't too nerv- ous to bathe, anyway" he asked. looking down, tall and blond, on this small retainer who had enter ed his service as a matter of course and trotted at his heels like d dog.
 ''Bathe? Where d'you think they'd bathe?" came the answer from below. Its Tar too cold.
 The next moment Martin was ly- ing on his stomach with half his body over the edge of the em- bankment. stretching one hand down to the water. The chill of 1t nipped his finger-tips. He was stranger to these waters fed by glacier streams, but, all the same, water was his native element. Mar tin clenched his teeth, which were like Negro's. broad and gleaming white. We'll soon have them bath ing, he determined.
 While he was still lying on his stomach like 8 tortoise beneath his rucksack, some people came along the deserted promenade. Two pairs of feet made detour round the prostrate Martin. a mans feet and a girls feet, and both had good ankles and were shOd in stout coun- try boots, with woolen socks rolled over their tops. Martin twisted his head back, but the attitude he was in enabled him to see no more than q pair of girls legs with shapely knees swallowed abruptly in the shadow of q tweed skirt. He jump ed up with flush showing be- meath the tan of his fair skin. He could still hear what the girl was saying.
 "rhe bitter kind tastes best" she said in deep voice, like boys.
 Heaven only knows why this re- mark should sound 50 odd to Mar tin. He continued to puzzle over it as he went on, followed by hissre- tainer, in the opposite direction to that taken by the other two.
 That's one of them," the boy re- marked incomprehensibly pointing over his shoulder with dirty thumb.
 Martin turned round and saw the other two had also turned round
