For Joyful Cough
Relief, Try This
Home Mixture
Saves Big Dollars.
No Cooking

This splendid recipe is used by millions
every year, because it makes such a depend
able, effective medicine for coughs due to
colds. It's easy to mix-a child could do 1t.
From any druggist get az ounces of Pinex,
a special compound of proven ingredients, in
concentrated form, well-known for its soothing
effect on throat and bronchial irritations.
Then make a syrup by stirring two cups
of granulated sugar and one cup of water
a few moments, until dissolved. It's no
trouble at all. No cooking needed. Or you
can use corn syrup or liquid honey, instead of
sugar syrup.
Put the Pinex into a pint bottle and fill up
with your syrup. This makes a full pint OF
cough medicine, very effective and quick
acting, and you get about four times as much
for your money. 1t never spoils, and children
love its pleasant taste.
You'll be surprised by the way it takes hold
of coughs, giving you quick relief. 1t loosens
the phlegm, soothes the irritated membranes,

would also like to make few
suggestions to the lady who asked
about making apple sauce with a
"kick." First, don't peel the apples
before cooking. Put them in a
pit with tight-fitting lid and add
barely enough water to cover bot
tom OF pot. Add thin slice OF
orange and piece of lemon to
the quartered apples and place on
a very low flame. This way the
apples will be steamed and will
retain their good flavor. Before
straining the apples remove the
orange and lemon. After they
have been strained add sugar to
taste. often mix brown and
white sugar and boil the mixture
for about two minutes. Also
when serving if I haven't already
added ground cinnamon I put a
few red cinnamon hearts in each
dish.

If you're looking for a place to
hang your hat. why not secure
one of those hang it all shelf bags"
that have recently been placed on
the market? The bag is made OF
four-gauge plastic with full-length
Upper and is equipped with four
or five shelves, depending on the
style you select. One style is
smaller in size and has double
weight plastic shelves built right
into the bag. This particular item
would be excellent for hats. hand
bags, shoes. small items OF linen,
etc. Then another style Is larger
in size and has heavy cardboard
shelves which are adjustable by
means of cord slides. With, this
article you can store suits and
street-length dresses as well as
have shelf space for accessories.
We feel these bags are wonderful
for people who live in small homes
or apartments where there lust
isn't closet space enough for stor-
ing summer bedspreads and dra-
peries during the winter months.
We had to store ours at q clean
ing establishment for so much a
month until the spring season
rolled around. Now with one OF
the larger bags. you could hang
1t in the back Of a closet and use
these shelves conveniently for
storing just such items. It should
prove dustproof and mothproof
and not only will you save money,
but time as well, for it will elimi-
nate that headache each season
change when you have to make
arrangements to have articles de-
livered. You can obtain this item
In the same colors to match your
garment bags. In clear plastic
with various color trims, or in
solid colors such as peach. blue,
green or maize. This "hang-it-
all' container would make an ex-
vellent Christmas gift.

AS an inexpensive extra gift
for that man of the house. how
about a set of four trouser hang
ers? They are clever as well as
practical. They slip in between
the trouser legs and slip inside
the cuff over the wings of the
hanger. You'll find they are nom
breakable for they are constructed
of steel with a nickel finish. They
can also be adjusted to trouser
size by bending arms upward or
downward; thus junior and senior
will find them handy.
With Christmas only around the
corner, we housewives are PLAN
ming to spruce up the house for

valuable pieces of silver. Why
not try an non -lnf1ammable silver
polish on these fine pieces as well
as on your best jewelry and even
your musical instruments? It re-
moves tarnish quickly and easily
without hard rubbing. It gives
your silver a clean satin finish
with a minimum Of work. Just a
few light strokes with the liquid
polish and you have a beautiful
luster. The manufacturer claims
the. polish will not scratch or mar
the silver because it contains no
abrasives, cyanide or other harm
full material used in some polishes.
You'll find it excellent to use oD

for the polish doesn't dry out 40

no need of washing the articles
after polishing except, Of course,
for sanitary reasons.

some fiat leafy plants with beau

beanstalk had nothing on my
plants-they grew and grew and
grew, long and spindly. The
FLOWERS that grew came from
out Of the top-they were top
heavy. I was hopelessly disap-
pointed. I think that there are
two different varieties of bulbs.
I do not think any one could
do anything so wrong that would
produce such ugly plants. had
built my family up to thinking
that we would really have some
thing when they grew. I won't
explain the ribbing that I got.
Would some kind soul tell me
where to get new bulbs, gloxinia,
that will grow fiat and beautiful.

done with a view to securing &C
cord among the members of the

it all came a public outburst far
more violent than any we have

The Burning Question.
Now the burning questions is:
Can we expect our admirals, gen.
erals-ground and air-to rele-
gate as an informative back
ground their 80 years of superior
service, and become objective elder
military advisers and strategiSts?
Of course, that is what we really
expect from the members of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff when they
plan out national security. What
we actually get, judging from the
fnterservice arguments during
the past few months, is something
entirely different. Perhaps, then,
we are asking too much.
No one has more respect for
the military knowledge, the ability
and the desire for team play of
the present members of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff than I have, but
they have a long way to go to
equal the hitting record of the
World War II members of that
body. The Atlantic pact and the
need for helping the other demo-
cratic nations, with the implica-
tions of a new world war in the
background - these may bring
about closer coordination; bring
about an accord among our serv-
icemen.
The staff work in connection
with the alliance of democratic
nations should be a great in
centive. However, there is always
that big bugaboo, economy, with
resultant cuts in military appro-
priations, when bases and stations.
ships and aircraft groups go on
inactive status, and enlisted men
by the thousands and officers by
the hundreds leave the service.
1t makes things tough: and every
branch of our armed service looks
at all others with a jealous eye.
why should you get more than
we do?"
1t may be that a complete
change in our system for securing
military advice and plans relating
to strength, composition and op-
erations Of our armed forces will
be necessary to secure the accord
we had hoped for in our Depart
ment of National Defense.

ImperiIs u. ). Lives
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. "A leading
American ship owner-aroused by
the Smelling of two of his fleet by
Chinese Nationalist off Shanghai
has accused Secretary of State
Acheson of callous disregard OF
American lives.
Hans J. Isbrandtsen, whose line
operates about 40 ships, told Mr.
AcheSon in a telegram last night:
You say that you and the Navy
will do nothing to prevent Ameri-
can crews from being unlawfully
killed or murdered, and American
ships sunk on the high seas from
unlawful attacks.
Action Held Unprecedented.
But you say that after it has
been done you will support claim
for financial compensation or
damages because the shooting you
admit is unlawful.
You took an oath to prevent
the loss of American life and prop
erty on the high seas and not to
callouSly wait until they are lost
and then merely support claims
for damages in money while
American ships and crews are lying
at the bottom of the ocean as
victims of Wanton banditry.
Your present action is un-
precedented in American history
on the part of any Secretary of
State"
Mr.. Acheson did not issue any
immediate comment on Mr.. Is
brandtsen's blast. A spokesman
for the State Department, how
ever. noted that Mr.. Acheson re-
Gently had praised the prudence,
wisdom and perceptiveness" of
those ship companies which have
kept their vessels away from the
Shanghai area.
Two Ships Fired On.
Two Isbrandtsen ships have
been fired on while running the
Nationalist sea blockade of Com
munist-held Shanghai. The most
recent attack was on the high
seas. outside Chinese territorial
waters. the company contends.
A recent demand by Mr.. Is
brandtSen for American naval
protection for his ships in the
China trade was rejected.
The State Department has ruled
the Nationalist blockade of Shang-
hal is not a legally enforced
blockade. It has refused, how
ever. to ask the Navy to act.
Mr.. Acheson has said vessels
entering the Shanghai area do so
at their own risk.

Pepper comes from berries that

plantation is an informal place

a jungle-vines in the woods.
When the Japs barged through
the Indies in the early years of
World War II, they burned and
chopped and stomped all over the
vines, More recently, there has
been internal warfare in Indo-
nesia. In planting, the Indone-
slams haven't been giving a very
high priority to pepper vines.
With the production of the
Netherlands East Indies knocked
out, India moved to top rank as
pepper supplier during the war
It still holds that position. but
it's exports are not nearly enough
to meet the demand.

Indonesia will be able to resume

pepper came from the island Of
