The beet much mertlelne ynu ever
1 used. A family supply easily and T
♦ quickly made. Saves about $3. ^
You might be surprised to know
that the best thing .you can use tor
a severe cougli, is a remedy which
is easily prepared at home in just
a few moments. It's cheap, but for
.prompt results it beats anything else
■you ever tried. Usually stops the
ordinary cough or chest cold in 24 J
hours. Tastes pleasant, too—children
like it—and it is pure and good.
Pour 2Vs ounces of Pinex in a
ipint bottle; then 1111 it up with plain
.granulated sugar syrup. Or use clari
fied molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar svrup, if desired.
Thus yon make a full pint—a family
supply—but. costing no more than a
small' bottle of ready-made cough
syrup.
.And as a cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be had at
any price. It goes right to the spot
ar.d gives quick, lasting relief. It
promptly heals the inflamed mem
branes that line the throat and air
passages, stops the annoying throat
tickle, loosens the phlegm, and soon
your cough stops entirely. Spiendid
for bronchitis, croup, hoarseness and
bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
pound of Norway pine extract, j
famous for healing the membranes. i

they lmd come from Omaha and were
on their) way to the convention.
Bet on Anything.
The two men according to their
Omaha friends always possessed
enough sporting blood to wager on
most anything.
During the holdup, which was one
of the most daring in downtown Des
Moines In years, one bystander was
shot.
Omaha friends of the two men say
that the only reason Abdo went cast
to get west was to pick up some soft
money.
"That's a new* racket on us," said
both Paekey Gaughn and Sam Zig
man, owners of the Baseball head
quarters, "for one to travel to New
York to fret to Frisco."
Sam stated that if he ever took
a trip to Shanghai he would start by
traveling through Kokomo, lnd.
It is the'usual talk about the sport
ing Rialto that both Abdo and Houskl
always carried large sums of money
on their persons.
Local friends of the two men stated
that they were told in a phone mes
sage from the victims last night that
the gunmen trailed them from Omaha
into Dcs Moines.
They are the same gunmen, it is
said, who have been staging holdups
of gamblers for the past few months.
Gamblers who have lost large sums
of money have been afraid to report
their losses to police.

Some dreadful things srs sometlms*
needed
To make the voice of wisdom heeded.
—Bob White.
Tin- Dreadful Yesson of the Young
Bob Whites.
The young Bob Whites over In the
wheat field had not been very much
frightened when they had discovered
the dog which had found them. They
had seen dogs many times and never
had they heard of a dog catching a
Bob White. The first one to discover
that dog warned the others and they
all squatted dose to the ground and
waited for what that dog might do.
They heard their father. Bob White,
calling from a fence post to fly, but
.So they squatted dose to the ground
and Waited.
they didn't fly. They thought he was
foolishly excited. They didn't see any
need of flying. It would be time
enough to fly when that dog tried to
catch one of them.
So they squatted close to the ground
and waited. The dog stood motion
less, pointing at them, and waited.
Then they heard heavy footsteps.
They were coming nearer and nearer.
They knew that they were made by
one of those two-legged creatures
called men, for they had heard men’s
footsteps before. They only crouched
closer to the ground. Perhaps he
would not see them.
Nearer drew those footsteps, and
nearer. Then the young Hoi) Whites
knew that they must fly. It was as
if each thought of flying at the same
instant that all the others did. With
a roar of stout little wings they were
all in the air at the s^me instant. And
then a terrible thing happened. Be
hind them there was a sharp and
very dreadful noise. Then another.
Some of them, glancing back, saw
that that man was pointing a stick,
from which smoke and flame shot out.
Several of them heard a strange
whistling sound all around them ami
two of them felt sharp pains. And
how' they all did fly! It was each
one for himself. They flew in differ
ent directions, but all of them headed
for Farmer Brown's land. They flew
so hard and so fast that their wings
soon tired. Then they dropped down
to the ground and ran. Finally each
one hid, squatting close (o the ground.
Such frightened young Boh Whites
as they were! They knew now with
out being told what had happened.
They knew that. Boh White, their
father, had told them truly about the
hunters with terrible fire sticks. They
didn't understand it nil, but It was
vtrue. Two of them, the two who had
felt sharp pains when the hunter had
shot at them, felt very sick and miser
able. The heart of each one of them
went pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat with fright.
Would that hunter come over after
them? Their father had said they
were safe on this side of the fence,
but they were afraid, very much
afraid, that he might be mistaken.
How they did wish they had obeyed
him in the first place and not gone
over in the wheat field!
What they didn't know was that
they were lucky. They had been
found by a young hunter who was
but for Bob Whites for the first time.
He. had had little experience in shoot
ing at birds flying and that is why
he had simply wounded two and none
had been killed. But they had learned
a lesson. It was a terrible lesson,
and for that very reason they never
would forget it. They knew now that
no enemy was to be feared as much
aa a hunter with a terrible gun.
