This is Guaranteed to
Stop Your Cough
Make this Family Supply of
Cough Syrup at Home
ana Save $2.
This plan makes a pint of better
cough syrup than you could buy ready
made for $2.50. A few doses usually
conquer an ordinary cough—relieves
even whooping cough’ quickly. Simple
as it is, no better remedy can be had
at any price.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
y 2 pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 2% ounces of Pinex (fifty
cents’ worth) in a pint bottle; then
add the Sugar Syrup. It has a pleasant
taste and lasts a family a long time.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
You can feel this take hold of a cough
in away that means business. Has a
good tonic effect, braces up the appetite,
and is slightly laxative, too, which is
helpful. A handy remedy for hoarse
ness, spasmodic croup, bronchitis, bron
chial asthma and whooping cough.
The effect of-pine on the membranes
is well known. Pinex is a most valu
able concentrated compound of Norwe
gian white pine extract, and is rich in
guaiacol and other natural healing
pine elements. Other preparations will
not work in this combination.
This Pinex and Sugar Syrup remedy
has often been imitated, though never
successfully. It is now used in more
homes than any other cough remedy.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with this
preparation. Your druggist has Pinex,
or will get it for you. If not, send

THE GOLDEN AGE FOR WEEK OF DEC. 11, 1913
At the wharf in Mobile, were boats
and schooners gayly flying flags of
every nation—but the stars and stripes
floated from most of the mast-heads.
Indeed, the red, white, and blue was in
evidence everywhere in the city. The
decorations were beautiful, colored
buntings waving from all the build
ings; and one of the grocery stores
had a particularly attractive and orig
inal window display. Upon a back
ground of coffee grains was a shield
made of sugar and red, white, and blue
candies.
Bessie and I went down on Gov
ernment street to watch for the parade.
We found a spot not so crowded, and
stood on the edge of the curbing. Pres
ently, mounted police began passing
slowly, then soldiers afoot and on
horseback, then came automobiles.
Around one car in particular did the
mounted soldiers keep guard, and in
that automobile, with other dignita
ries, sat President Wilson. Fortunate
ly for us —he was on the side next to
us — and there was no one between. I
could almost have dropped —a pin—
Bessie said I’d better not mention
“bombs” —into his lap, had I been so
inclined, although he was so well
guarded. Quickly he came, there was
not even a cheer to announce his iden
tity, but I immediately recognized
him from his pictures, which he is just
like, only much thinner. He neither
looked round, nor lifted his hat, so
we saw his face only in profile. But
we were glad to get so good a view
of him as the car went slowly by. I
was impressed with the greatness of
his character as revealed in the firm
chin and clear-cut features. Truly in
him, our nation has a wise and good
ruler. After seeing him, I can more
more fully appreciate that our Ideal
does really exist in this man of super
ior intellect, who will not shrink re
sponsibility, and whose domination will
be magisterial but not overbearing.
You recall when I saw Taft in the
Birmingham parade, he impressed me
as a mere figure-head.
This was not the beginning of the
parade, as we had thought, but the
President on his way to speak at the
Lyric. The crowd pressed so I did
not get in, but as my friend’s mother
is one of the Auxiliary members, Bes
sie did go in, and was enthusiastic over
Wilson’s speech and his dignified manr
ner.
The surging crowd furnished enter
tainment until finally, the parade start
ed, headed by the President’s car, and
followed by thirty-fourothers, in which
were our native great men, and the
Latin-Americans. Probably I saw Un
derwood, but failed to recognize him
from his pictures—but there was the
distinguished Hobson, whom I knew.
Among all the black silk “stove-pipes”
he alone wore a soft gray felt, and
when some one cried “There’s Hob
son,’ he lifted his hat and bowed. He
possesses an undeniable charm, and
I doubt not will give Underwood a
close race. John Temple Graves says
that “Alabama has two favored sons.
The President doffed his hat many
times, and I got many glimpses of
his bald head; but not again so near
a view as I had before the parade.
The procession drew out very long,
and there was little cheering, even
when the dear old soldiers passed.
Most of them were dressed in gray;
some were very feeble: while others
walked with as fine a military carriage
as the regular troops. When the de
pleted ranks of our Ft. Morgan troons
went by, I was saddened by the though’
of the soldier boys, dead or injured
who just a week before had left Mo
bile in joyous mood to attend the Alar
bama-Mississippi Fair at Meridian.
The floats were pretty. One yel
low chrysanthemam-decorated automo
bile was beautiful. The Red-Men out
Indianed the Indians *nd were hide
ous ? h w , ” , - r r > i r,i One
float held a cotton field, enclosing a
log cabin, with a poor little opossum—
frightened almost to death at his novel
environment —clinging to the roof.
At the crowded Cawthorn Vineyard
we dined delightfully. Some of the ne
gro waiters oast disdainful glances at
their coffeediued “cousins” from South
America coming in “To eat wid de
white folks.”
“The Southern waiters,” so Bessie
said, “objected to the introduction of
this ‘color-scheme’ into their hotel.”
At a late hour, weary from “celebri
ty-contagion” as Bessie expressed it,
we reached “our quarters” once more;
and “Little Sister” was so glad to see
me, she actually kissed me, an honor
never conferred except upon her spe
cial favorites, the puppy dogs and lit
tle kittens.
As ever,
VIOLET.
HIS FIRST POEM.
Dear Household Friends:
At the suggestion of our new Moth
er-Friend Mrs. Lindsey, I am going to
tell some of you who have read my
later verses about the first poem I
wrote that was ever printed. It may
serve to encourage some young poets
and help amuse other and older ones.
It appeared just twenty-five years ago
last October. Os course it was rather
crude as to form but for the sentiment
I have no apology to offer even at this
late day. It contained four stanzas
of four lines each and was called
“Prepare to Meet Thy God.” It was
printed in the poets corner of the New
York Graffic, early in October, 1888.
At that time I was a shy awkward
boy of 17, not an especially brilliant
scholar, by any means, but a great lov
er of books and already feeling within
me a vague longing to write some my
self.
Incidently, I may remark, that my
youthful fancy was fired first by read
ing the poems of James Hogg, “The
Ethic Shepard” and Walter Scott’s
“Lady of the Lake,” but it was reading
Whittier’s stirring ballad of “Barbara
Frietchie” that filled me with an en
during resolution to be a poet. After I
had been writing little verses for some
months, I came across a stray copy of
“The Graffic,” which strange to say,
actually encouraged immature writers,
and determined to avail myself of the
opportunity.
From day to day thereafter I
alternately burned with expectation and
was chilled with despair, but weeks
went by, still I heard nothing from my
poor maiden effort. Gradually I came
to think less about it. One bright
beautiful day on October (shall I ev

GIVE THEM A CHANCE.
While you are educating your chil
dren and giving them the benefit of
every possible opportunity to improve
their talents, do not overlook supply
ing them with a sweet-toned Piano or
Player Piano. You can never tell
what talent a child may possess, or
what skill it may acquire until you
have given it a chance. Daily com
panionship with a high-grade instru
ment will be the greatest incentive to
acquire that most coveted Art of Mu
sic. Do not make the mistake of wait
ing until your boy or girl has reached
mature years. There will then be oth
er demands on their time; their minds
will have lost much of their earlier
alertness, and it will be difficult for
them to master the piano.
Act now while the Golden Age Pia
no Club offers you the opportunity to
secure the best pianos and player-pi
anos at the lowest possible cost and
on terms to suit your convenience.

Rheumatism
A Home Cure Given by One Who Had It
In the spring of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular
and Inflammatcry Rheumatism. I suffered as
only those whohaveitk-ow, for over three years.
I tried remedy after remedy, and doctor after
doctor, but such relief as I received was only
temporary. Finally, I found a remedy that cured
me completely, and it has never returned. I have
given it to a number who were terribly afflicted
and even bedridden with Rheumatism, and it
effected a cure in every case.
I want every sufferer from any form of rheuma
tic trouble to try this marvelous healing power.
D-n’t send a cent; simply mail your name and
address a: d I will send it free to try. After you
r.a e used it and it has proven itself to be that
means of curing your Rheuma
tism, you may send the price of it, one dollar, but,
understand, I do not want vour money unless ycu
are perfectly satisfied to send it. Isn’t that fair?
Why suffer any lenper when positive r< lief is
I thus offered you? Don’t delay. Write today?
