Washington. I)eo. 13.—(Special
Telegram.!—Western congressmen, in
terested in the development of water
ways transportation, are staging a
fight for more generous treatment of
the waterways program than is con
templated In the authorizations of the
budget officer. In the pairing down
process, that officer has limited the
waterways appropriation to $27,000,
000.
A meeting of 25 western congress
men was held Monday night at the in
stance of Representative Newton of
Missouri, Representatives McLaughlin
and JefTeris of Nebraska and Johnson
and Chrlstopherson of South Dakota
were present.
It was pointed out the engineer's
report calls for $13,000,000 for the
maintenance of the present work,
leaving only $14,000,000 for new de
velopment. New projects, it is esti
mated, are needed on the Ohio, Mis
sissippi and Missouri, including the
installation of a six-foot channel In
the Missouri ns far as Chamberlain,
S. I!. Surveys are made for this six
foot channel, but the present plans
<ali for the channel only as far up as
Kansas City, with a further project
of keeping tlie present channel open
aliove that. The report calls for
$1,500,000 for all Missouri river proj
ects.
The western congressmen have de
cided to make a light for a total ap
propriation of $43,000,000 in place of
the smaller sum allowed by the bud
get officer.

How to Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home
n«» no pqnnl for prompt reaiilta.
Taken but a moment to prepare,
and nates you about (2.
I'ine is used in nearly all prescrip
tions and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have a remarkable
effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The “syrup” part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 2'/s ounces
of Pinex in a pint bottle, and till up
with home-made sugar syrup. Or
you can use claritied molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you make a lull pint—
more than you can buy ready-made
for three times the money. It is
pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of a
cough or cold in a way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be persist
ently loose from the formation of
phlegm. The cause is the same—in
flamed membranes—and this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop it
—usually in 24 hours or lens. Splen
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse
ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
pound of genuine Norway pine ex
tract. and is famous the world over
for its prompt effect upon coughs.
Pcware of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for “2V3 ounces of Piuex”
witli directions, and don’t accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso
lute satisfaction or money refunded.
