You couldn't buy as much or as Rood cough syrup for $2.60. Simple as it is, it gives almost In stant relief and usually conquers an ordinary cough in 24 hours. This is partly due to the fact that it is slightly laxative, stimulates the appetite and has an excellent tonic effect. It is pleasant to take children like it An excellent remedy, too, for whooping cough, spasmodic croup and bronchial asthma. Mix one pint of granulated sugar with pint of warm water, and stir for 2 minutes. Put 2V ounces of Pinex (fifty cents' worth) in a pint bottle, and add the Sugar Syrup. It ' keeps perfectly. Take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours. Pine is one of the oldest and best known remedial agents for the throat membranes. Pinex is a most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, and Is rich in guaiacol and other natural healing elements. Other preparations will not work in this combination. The prompt results from this mixture have endeared it to thousands of .house wives In the United States and Canada, which explains whv the plan has been imitated often, but never successfully.

'It Is an appalling fact that this lnetf-' jsitlon, prtstrvattve ot all Institutions, If It Is to ba Judged by some modern homes, Is actually In danger of becoming a se rious menace to , American life and national righteous ness. The well regulated home, where there Is mu tual affection and respect, a kind and Just exercise of authority, unques tioning obedience, mutual helpfulness, and the cherishing of those great principles which tie at the foundation of the Christian religion, Is tho only hope for the larger and national life. W'lthoqt such homes the people of this country cannot expect, and have no right to expect, a govern ment that will maintain Justice, equity, and right, and whose social order and in stitutions will be perpetuated. "For the most part father has degen erated. Into or been succeeded by 'daddy' or 'dad,' who la merely a convenient fel low, when he happens to be at home, for a- riotous romp or for receiving orders to buy this or that, and who has no more authority or Influence Inline family gov. ernment than one of the 'kids.' While motherwell, as a general riile, nurse has taken her place In the home, and frequently an Incapable and uncon scientious nurse whose Influence Is any thing but good. "The 'kids' (there are no children now), Instead of being- taught self-denial, self restraint and respecf for others and for the rights of others, demand and are yielded the fullest measure of unregulated liberty and license and self-indulgence; in other words, they are practically left to rear themselves according to tbelr own 'sweet wills.' "Much might also be said of the la mentable lack ot parental care und over eight as to the daily and nightly where abouts of the larger sons and daughters, the doubtful character of the. entertain ments frequented by them and the de moralising literature admitted Into the home, as well as other threatening evils."

Has your young daughter any lmowl edge of herself as a woman and a possi ble mother of another generation, which will protect her from disaster, morally or physically? Possibly, "being your daughter, you feel she must be safe from doing any foolish or wrong act But you .must remember .how many other ancestors have given her tendencies and qualities and Impulses of which you know nothing.

Just as the ,(ree. buds and then flowers, and then bears fruit, so every normal woman experiences these Instincts to carry on nature's -work. But as she cannot perform these func tions an naturally and frankly as the things In the vegetable and animal kingdom do, she needs guidance and pro tection through the romantic bud and flower period of her unfoldment. Ten dencies which an unkind and undls criminating world might call evil are simply natural tendencies for mating and bearing offspring. Tbey show them selves In romantic impulses and a desire to enjoy the society of the opposite sex. That desire should be gratified, but It should be guided and protected. Are you protecting your daughter? Do you know what hours she keeps with her callers, and when she visits her girl friends, do you know what plaits they visit and who are their escorts, and what hour she reaches her rooms? If you are parents of small children, are you giving them any foundation of good manners and agTeeable behavior am) kindly Instincts, which will make them tracable students when they be gin the tendrils of their young minds to reach up to' lovely qualities.

Nothing can ever quite recompense a child who has reached the age of 10 Honest Hypocrites Hy ELBERT HUnUAHD John Fiske once wrote an essay en titled "Honest Hypocrites." The argu ment was that a hypocrite la a hypo, crite; but the disciples of a hypocrite are usually earnest and sincere- people and therefore ' honest hypqcrltes. or not hypocrites at all. This on the theory that after a poseur has posed long enough, the pse becomes natural, and he is therefore not a poseur. In metaphysics fakery flourishes. Tho metaphysician Is a man who be lieves ten times as much' as he can prove, and proves ten times as much as any one else will believe. He Is so profound that he conceals his opinions even from himself. He evolves a lingo before he learns to think This lingo his disciples accept and take on, each one thinking that he, In time, will grow to a point where he understands what It means. The lingo of frats, of secret societies, of cults and religious denominations Is all flavored with fakery. In art the faker has always abounded. The man who dogmatises about art puts his reason on the side. Just now there Is what Is called "the art of the futurists." It Is symbolic, cryptic, poetic. Impressionistic. The perpetrators pretend to know what they mean. The fact Is they do not. They smile complacently at the lack of Imagi nation possessed by hoi polio!.

Any parent, howover poor, can teach a child to apeak low, to avoid flat con tradictions, to be respectful to elders, to sit correctly, to partake of food silently and enter and leave a room gracefully. So, too, can any parent who has right Instincts, nVold having a child hear gos. pip or unkind criticism or coarse lang uage. Are you doing all these things? Then the question oomesi Can a man bo an unconscious faker? And the an swer Is: Ho most certainly can. Having once espoused a cause, we are bound to maintain it. Even when new light comes wo will fight against change. So with the theological and medical faker went the sartorial faker, and we spoke feelingly nnd with pride of "my tailor." We made excuses for not at tending this or that meeting, because we had an engagement with "my tailor." i can well remember how my heart was , filled with pride when I stood on a plat form a kind of Improvised throne and a tailor took off his coat and made ready ior a great and serious operation. With a tape measure around his neck and an adviser standing by he went at me. And way hack In the dim recesses of the store, at a desk, sat a man with a pencil In hand. The call was given; "All right," and then the tapo measure was put over my manly anatomy. It was pelaslng to my sense of approba tion to- bo thus inlnlntercd to. The man measuring me and the man looking on consulted from tlinu to time. They called pff tho measurements thus: "Thirty.twq and a half, twenty-one and three-quarters, sixteen and a half." Then tha tape measure was applied a second time, and the call was. given: "Make that sixteen and sevcn-elghthi," and the man In the dark recesses of the store echoed baek theso numbers. These wore repeated, to see that they were all down correctly. This means truth In business. Quality and fit are guaranteed.

Thus ended the Ming dynasty, and the empire passed under the foreign yoke from which it so recently freed itself.
