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.

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. The Pinex Co., Ft.
