To End Stubborn
Cough, Mix This
Recipe, at Home
Big savingi No cookingl 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. 1t takes but
a moment to prepare, and costs very
little, but it positively has no equal for
quick, lasting relief.
From any druggist, get 212 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 few mo-
ments until dissolved. No cooking need
edits so easy! Thus you make a
full pint of better remedy than you
could buy ready-made, and you get four
times as much for your money. 1t never
spoils and children love its taste.
This simple mixture soOthes and
heals the infiamed throat membranes
with surprising ease. 1t lOOSens the
germ-laden phlegm and eases chest sore
ness in a way that is really astonishing.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway Pine, the most reli-
able healing agent for severe a
coughs. 1t is guaranteed to -
give prompt relief or money IS
refunded. --eT[!y

WASHINGTON, n ov. 5.
(UP) = Elections in three

today IL months before
President Roosevelt will hear
from the country whether his ex-
periments with reform and recovery
are holding their own against in
creasingly forceful adverse critics.
Politically seeking straWs in the
wind will look to the mayoralty
contest in Philadelphia, the New
York election of a lower legislative
house and a Kentucky scramble for
the governorship.
Dry leaders became confident
this week they had an unexpected
chance to win Kentucky. That fits
perfectly with their announced
program to attack the liquor prob
lem this time through the states
rather than through the federal
government.

Kentucky gubernatorial contest. A.
B. (Happy) Chandler, Democratic
nominee, has dragged President
Roosevelt into the contest largely
by force of some White House
blunders which permitted the New
Deal to become involved in the
Kentucky Democratic primary, Gov
ernor Ruby Laffoon. state Demo-
cratic leader, has bolted Chandler
and urges election of Judge King
Swope, the Republican nominee.
Both Laffoon and Swope refuse to
acknowledge the New Deal as a
Kentucky issue. But unless Chand-
Ter wins Roosevelt prestige will be
built.
New York Democrats won a 1884
hair-line majority in the lower
house Postmaster General James
A. Farley, promises to increase the
lead. New York is SO districted that
the lower house is uniformly Re-

SUCCESS SEEN
FOR PEA CROP

Imperial Valley pea growers look
ed forward today to one of the
most successful seasons of recent
years-unless an unexpected frost
blights the crop in which harvesting
will start late this week or early
next week.
Water shortage and extreme heat
during recent seasons caused small
returns to most growers in north
ern Imperial Valley, but with an
assured water supply and the mild
weather of this season, north-end
fields carry bumper crops.
Harvest hands began to arrive in
the Brawley and Calipatria areas
this week, and will continue until
the harvest reaches its peak in
about month, producers said.
Frosts in other ea-growing areas,
causing extreme damage to crops
there, will result in far better prices
for the valleys produce, growers
predicted.

attendance or more in the parade
are: Harding, Mckinley, East Side

sent in to chamber of commerce
headquarters the exact number of
its children in the parade.
A number of other schools also

CASED IN LINE

NEW YORK, Nov. 5. U.P)-The
body of Charles (Chink) Sherman,
kingpin racketeer and high in the
command Of the Dutch Schultz
gang, was found in a lime-filled
grave near Monticello, N. Y, early
today.
The discovery provided a clue to
the fate of "Bo" Weinberg, another
of the Schultz sub-commanders who
with Sherman disappeared several
weeks before Schultz and three of
his gangsters were assassinated in
Newark Oct. %.
The body had been all but dis
integrated by the quick lime with
which 1t had been buried four feet
deep. One hand had been closed

into fist and this protected fingers
whose prints provided identifica-
ton.
Sherman apparently was the vic
tim of the same enemies who killed
Schultz and his companions, wound
ed Martin Krompier, another sub
leader and probably executed Vein
