Cough Syrup Is
Most Effective

Cough medicines usually contain
large quantity of plain syrup-a good
ingredient, but one which you can
easily make at home. Take 2 cups of
granulated sugar and cup of water,
and stir few moments until dis
solved. Or use corn syrup or liquid
honey. instead of sugar syrup.
Then get from any druggist 2h
ounces Of PineX. pour it into a pint
bottle, and fill up with your syrup.
This gives you full pint of wonderful
medicine for coughs due to colds. It
makes real saving because it gives
you about four times as much for
your money. Never spoils. Tastes fine.
This is actually a surprisingly eff
fective. quick-acting cough relief.
Swiftly, you feel it taking hold. It
1oosens tho phlegm. soothes the irri-
tated membranes and makes breath
ing easy. You've never seen anything
better for quick and pleasing results.
Pinex is a special compound of
proven ingredients. in concentrated
form. a most reliable soothing agent
for throat and bronchial irritations.

you in every way.

the tire rolls along in smooth, continuous

By GLENN D. kITTLER

For moment after the ser
geant clicked off the barracks
lights, silence lowered like SWIM
mer poised at the tip of a diving
board.
From bed in a corner of the
room came the words we awaited:
God bless Us all.
1t was nightly prayer we en-
pected.
Then whispered conversations
hummed through the room, In a
lew minutes, the barracks silcnc-
Cd as the men fell asleep and
there was only the noise they
made in their dreams.
Lights out now was far different
from what it had been in train
ing days. Then we cavorted like
school boys.
There was always a joker in
the crowd who, at the top Of his
voice, carried on Il profane con-
versation with someone at the
otnef END OF the room. We broke
rules then about smoking in the
barracks after light out. And
there were always the few late
arrivers who turned on the lights
to find their beds or paraded
back and forth to the showers.
But we were silent crew gath
cred from camps throughout the
country to the small island in San
Francisco bay to await shipment
overseas.
We were strangers to each 9th
err, but the spirit Of conradeShip
which flourishes in army camps
and our common destiny of sail
ing to the battlefrontS made Us
all politely friendly.
There was no loudncSS after
lights out. We had too much to

New Plant HOrmOne

A way has been found to save
future potato crops from
sprouting and "sweetening" in
storage. conditions W h i h
threaten spoilage of nearly 10
per cent of the large 1916 crop,
it was disclosed here today.
Agricultural college experi--
ments, conducted in coopera-
ton with growers, indicate
that plant hormone chemicals
sprayed on tubers as they go
into storage. will forestall the
damage done by changing tenn
peratures in sheds, barns, pits
and warehouses" said Harvey
A. Baum, head of produce-bu
ing operations for A & P Food
Stores whose potato purchases
in the past year have amounted
10 l5.463 600 bushels.
The new treatment, entirely
harmless to the food itself, is
available to farmers in all ma
jor potato-growing areas. 1t
promises not only to prevent
losses of market value which
have always been particularly
heavy in bumper years, but also
to effect a considerable saving
for consumers, he said.
Baum explained that temper
atureS close to 40 degrees are
considered ideal for potato
storage. Heat induces sprout-
ing. while at temperatures near
freezing the starch in potatoes
begins to turn to sugar, produc-
ing an unsatisfactory taste and
texture. Constant inspection is
necessary to prevent the move
ment of such potatoes into
consumer channels, he said.
