I How to Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home
Baa no erpMl for prompt refills.
Take hut a moment to prepare,
and antra pm about It.
Pine is used in nearly all prescrip
ins and remedies (or coughs. The
rson ia that pine contains several
rnenta that have a remarkable
cct in toothing and healing the
■mbrane* of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
pine and svrup. The “syrun" part
usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
at money can buy, put ii'/j ounce*
Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill up
th home-made sugar syrup. Or
it can use clarified molasses, honey,
corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup,
flier way, von Mil a full pint
are than you can buy ready-made
r three times the money. It il
re, good and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take bold of a
ugh or cold in a way that means
siiiesa. The cough may he dry,
arse and tight, or may be persist
11y loose from the formation of
0 pntegm. The cause is Mir same - in

president pro tern of the senate, pre- '
sided.
The roll was called hy states:
•'Alabama,” boomed the teller.
Veterans of Madison square garden
involuntarily shut their eyes and in
toned: •
“Al-a-hama casts 24 votes for Un
der-wood."
But instead there was the report
that Alabama cast its 12 electoral
votes for John W. Davis and Charles
\V. Bryan.
A rehel yell from the democratii
side of the chamber greeted this and
the roll call proceeded, followed bj
the formal announcement that Coo!
idge and Dawes had polled 38 2 votes
In the electoral college; John W.
Davis and C. W. Bryan, 13fi, and
Robert M. La Toilette and Burton K.
Wheeler, 13.
Each state* followed the announce
ment of Its vote with applause. The
galleries were crowded with specta
tors for the quadrennial cereqpony.
The whole ceremony occupied less
than an hour. When it ended the
senate retired and both houses went
prosaically about their business.
President Coolldge was not even
aware of it until informed by his
secretary.
Drainage Ditch Planned
to Shorten Lost Creek
Columbus, Eeb. It.—Lost creek,
heading In the bluffs north of the
lamp river In the western part of
Platte county and flowing east
through Platte anil part of Colfax
county, is to he shortened by more
than 20 miles.
The county hoard of supervisors In
session here is taking steps prelim!
nary to the construction of a big
drainage ditch which will tap Lost
creek where it emerges from the
bluffs two miles northwest of Oconee,
Nob., nnd carry its waters two and
line-half miles south to the lamp river.1
The project will cost about $30,000.
Lost crpek empties into the Loup
river now, hut following its devious
curves and bends It flows more than
20 miles parallel to and only within
four or five miles of the Loup before
doing so. It is an inoffensive little
stream in dry weather but In rainy
seasons it quickly slops over its low
hanks and floods hundreds of acres
of valuable farm lands.

New York
--Day by Day
\_ '
By O. O. MTNTYRK.
New York, Keb. 11.—The Green
wich Village attic* offer many trag
edies Qf genius. And there is true
bohemianism there. Indeed most of
those who display the noblest shields
in art were once bohemians in the
days they were climbing the green
upward slope of youth.
Yet for the most part the Village
is filled with bunk and it s habitues
are traveling paths that arrive no
where. They are mere dreamers for
whom art is a creed and not a craft
and undf# this cloak of Bohemianlsm
they laze through Inactive days.
To me, however, there is some
thing appealing about the stoicism
of these attic dwellers, even though
it is earried to absurdity. They make
no outcry In their mad heroism. They
have brought themselves to this dire
want and so they suffer in silence.
No whining.
Many men and women are living
in the Village on less than $500 a
year. The Idolatrous worshiping of
a chimera .brings the yelping wolf to
the door. In the coffee houses and
tearooms they sit for days and days
talking of work they will never do.
If a sudden windfall comes their
way they exhaust It In a hurat of
profligacy. If a real Job is offered
them, they acutter away like »
frightmed rabbit.
In the beginning It Is a delight
ful life. A life that I* lived only for
the iiny and It end* In the hospital
Hr the potters field. There Is one
bohemian who did not leave his attio
, room for three months. He lived in
a dressing gown and wrote sonnets.
In the ciil-de sae of Barrow street
there are 12 ambitious scribbler* liv
ing In three small rooms. Theirs Is
the co-operative plan. If one sells a
short story or a hit of verse the
others share In thn spoils.
The gloomiest spot |n New York
is the famous Tombs prison. There
is something woefully depressing In
Its gray exterior and myriad waffle
ironed windows. The last time I was
there I had dropped In to see Karl
Carroll, who was suffering self-im
posed mnrtyrdom In the cause of his
particular branch of the theater.
There Is a. chill Inside that Is sug
gestlve of barren swamps in the low
lands. Vet ruen who remain there for
several days adjust their spirits
I somehow and bernme gay. They are
| permitted to talk t” each other and
they work out cross-word puzzles hv
each ralllhe out a letter in turn
, When anyone slips the others Join
[ in the chorous by heating their tin
cups against the Iron cot. They are
particularly amiable toward the new
arrival and try to rheer him up with
shafts of wit.
I have glanced over the inoonse
quentlai Item above. Now I have
never been In "tsirren swamps In
lowlands" and consequently know
itnl^ingnf their "(hill.” Writers etn
ploy too many figures of speech
about which they are Ignorant. I
used to refer to rows of old buildings
as "shambles" until Meredith Nichol

—Blacky the Crow.
Farmer Brown’s Boy Is Worried.
Former Frown’s Boy looked out on
a world of glistening wfllte. It was
a beautiful world. As Jolly, round
I right Mr. Sun climbed above the tree
toits It seemed as if millions of dia
monds were flashing everywhere. Yes,
indeed, it was a beasttiful world.
But the face of Farmer Brown's
Boy wore a worried look. “It looks
to me ns if there Is a hard crust," he
muttered. “Yes. sirree, it looks to me
its if there is a hard crust. That
means trouble for a lot of the little
people of the fireen Forest and thel
(been Meadows. Some of them are
going to go hungry unless I look out
for them. This is certainly going to
be hard for a lot of them, and the
sooner I get out the better."
So Farmer Brown's Boy hurried
through his breakfast and took a lot
Such a welcome as they gave him.
of food out for the birds and other
little people. Such a welcome as they
gave him They hardly waited for
him to spread It. Then Farmer
Brown's Boy looked over to.the Green
Forest. "I'm afraid It going to be
hard on Thunderer and Mrs. Grouse.
I'm worried about them. If they're
raught under this crust it will go hard
with them. Yes, sir, It will go hard
with them. I'm afraid they will
starve to death. I do hope they slept
in a tree last night."
All the lime he was doing his morn
ing chores he kept thinking about
Mr. and Mrs. Grouse. As soon as he
could get away he started for the
Green Forest. The crust was so hard
that he could walk on it without
breaking through, "I know," he
said, "where those Grouse have been
feeding lately and where they have
been steeping. Several limes lately 1
have found the holes left by them
when they eame out of the snow. I 11
just go over there and see if they are
anywhere around. I'll take along
some food for them."
But when he got over there, of
course. Farmer Brown's Boy saw
nothing of ' Thunderer and Mrs.
Grouse and heard nothing of them
lie looked everywhere. His face grew
more worried looking than ever.
"They were not up in the Old Orchard
after apple buds," said he, "for 1
came through there. They are not
anywhere around here unless they
are somewhere under this dreadful
crust.”
Then Farmer Brown's Boy began a
careful search all about. Finally he
discovered what looked as If there
might have been two hole* In the
snow which had been filled In. They
were just below a certain spruce tree,
lie looked at them thoughtfully. Then
he looked up In the spruce tree.
“If those Grouse were up In that
tree and plunged into the snow for
the night this is about where they
would have gone in,” said he. “Of
course, they would have worked quite
a way under the snow. I believe I'll
just break the crust all around here.
Then If they are underneath they
may have a chance to escape.’’ So
by stamping with hl« feet Farmer
Brown’s Boy broke the crust for some
distance all around.
Suddenly there > a startling roar
of stout wings right behind him. He
turned to see Mrs. Grouse shaking the
snow from her wings as she flew and
dlsapperred among the trees. A mo
ment la. r Thunderer burst out be
hind him In the same way. Farmer
Brown's Boy laughed softly. “I've
saved them!" he exclaimed. "I guess
cd right. They were caught under
this crust amt by breaking this I’ve
net them free.”
As for Mr, and Mrs, Grouse, their
hearts were filled with gratitude to
Farmer Brown's Boy.
