Aii Old Friend Finds Danny.
Danny Meadow Mouse was bepin*
nlng to get used to the sunny souin.
He hadn’t found his way back to the
great man-bird, or airplane, which
had brought him down there and
where he felt sure Nanny was. He
missed Nanny, but not ss much as
he would have had there not been so
much that was new and strange to
him to look at and wonder about. He
was beginning to feel more at home
than he had at first. Almost every
day, he saw Mr. Mocker the Mock
ingbird, and this helped a lot.
Then one day he had a grad sur
prise. He had stopped to rest under
a plant which bore some bright flow
ers. He heard a humming sound, and
then before he could quite make out
where it came from a sharp, squeaky
voice Cried, "Am I dreaming, or is
this DAnny Meadow Mouse?"
"It is me. Of course it is me. Who
else could it be?" cried Danny, nnrl
ran out from under the plant, for he
had recognized that voice.
A tiny bird darted almost in Dan
ny's face, ills fhroat was like a red
Jewel. His bill was like a needle. He
stopped in mid air right in front of
Danny, then flew over to a twig and
alighted there.
"It is! It certainly is!" declared
Hummer the Hummingbird, for this
is who the little fellow was. "How
ever did you get here. Danny Meadow
Mouse? Have you grown a pair of
wings since I saw you late in the
summer tip on Green Meadows? '
Danny chuckled. "No. Hummer, I
haven't grown a pair of wings." said
he. "But I’m the same old Danny

1 Meadow Mouse you left up on the
Green Meadows. My. but it does my
eyes good Just to see you! Did you
fly all the way down here with those
tiny wings of yours?”
"You don't see any biggnr wings, do
you?” squeaked Hummer, and then
both laughed. "Of course I flew down
here,” he continued. "That Is tooth
ing. Some of my family spend the
winter as far south of here as this
Is south of your old home. For my

self, I am satisfied with It here, and
I shall stay here until it Is time to
go North again In the spring. But
that isn't telling me how you got
here.”
So once more Danny had to tell the
story of hla long journey In the great
man-bird.
“I've Bern those same man birds."
replied Hummer. “And they certain
ly can fly. But. my, what a noise
they make! I suppose that Is because
their wings move so fast." You know
the humming of Hummer Is made by
his swiftly moving wings. So it was
natural for him to think that the
noise of an airplane was made by its
wings. He- never had noticed that
those wings did not move at all.
"I hope I shall see you often,"
said Danny. "You know a fellow
feets lonesome In a strange place."
"Where is Nanny?" demanded
Hummer.
"She Is In that great man-bird, I
suppose." said Danny. "But I don’t
know where that great man-bird is.
I've lost it."
"Huh!" exclaimed Hummer. "That
was a stupid thing to do!”
"I know It." confessed Danny. "I’ve
been hunting for it, but I can't find
It."

If you have a severe cough or chest
cold accompanied with soreness,
throat tickle, hoarseness, or difficult
breathing, or if your child wakes up
during the night with croup and you
want quick help, try this reliable old
home-made cough remedy. Any drug
gist can supply you with 2'/* ounces
of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle
and till the bottle with plain granu
lated sugar syrup. Or you can use
clarified molasses, honey, or corn
syrup, instead of sugar syrup, if
dea,red. Th.< recipe makes a pint of
really remarkable cough remedy. It
tastes good, and in spite of its low
cost, it can be depended upon to give
quick and lasting relief.
You can feel this take hold of a
cough in a wav that means business.
It loosens and raises the phlegm,
stops throat tickle and soothes and
heals the irritated membranes that
line the throat and bronchial tubes
with such promptness, ease and cer
tainty that it is really astonishing.
P.nex is a special and highly con
centrated compound of genuine Nor
way pine extract, and is probably the
best known means of overcoming
severe coughs, throat and chest colds.
There are many worthless imita
tions of this mixture. To avoid dis
appointment, ask for "2'<| ounces of
Pinex” with full directions and don t
secept anything else. Guaranteed to
g.ve absolute satisfaction or money
promptly refunded. The Pinex Co.,

BEWARE THE
GOUGH OR COLD
THAT HANGS ON
Chronic coughs and persistent colds
lead to serious lung trouble. You can
stop them now w-.th Creornulsion. and
emulsified creosote that is pleasant to
take. Creornulsion is a new medical
discovery with twofold action; it
soothes and heals the inflamed mem
branes and !|ilis the germ.
Of ail known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by the medical fraternity as
the greatest healing agency for the
treatment of chronic coughs and
colds and other forms of throat and
lung troubles. Creornulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other heal
ing elements which soothe and heal
the inflamed membranes and stop the
irritation and Inflammation, while the
creosote goes on to the stern ch. is
absorbed into the blood, attacks the
seat of the trouble and destroys the
germs that lead to consumption.
Creornulsion Is guaranteed satisfac
tory in the treatment of chronic
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
catarrhal bronchitis and other form..’**
of throat and lung diseases, and Is 4
excellent for building up the system
after colds or the flu. Money re
funded if any cough or cold, no mat
ter of how long standing, is not re
lieved after taking according to direc
tions. Ask your druggist. Creomul
