SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For Feb. 3, 1924—Ex. 19-24, Lev. 19, Deut. 4:32-34.
BY DR. MARIOxN McH. HULL
Golden text: “Thou shalt love the
thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy strength, and with all
thy mind, Thou shalt love thy neigh
bor as thyself.”
SThlnk back a bit. God had gra
ciously heard the cry of His people
in their bondage; He had prepared
and sent out a deliverer to them; He
had worked marvelously for them
in th© sight of Pharaoh; He had led
them out of bondage into freedom;
He had opened a passage for them;
He had made bitter "waters sweet;
,H£ had given them quails and
manna; He had furnished an abun
dance of water for them out of the
rock at Repaid.m, and when their
enemies l|ad fought them He had
fought for them and prevailed. And
this had all been of grace—they
didn’t deserve any of it, they had
done nothing to merit it, He had not
asked anything of them.
• Three months had passed, and
they were now in camp at the foot
of the mountain near' which Moses
had seen the burning bush. God had
promised Moses as a sign that the
neople should encamp at this very
©Aunt, and here they were So
went up unto God, and Je-
Wfvah called to him out of the
mountain saying, tell the children of
Israel: “Ye have seen what 1 did to
the Egyptians, how 1 bare you
on eagles’ '-*»«>.gs, and brought you
unto Mycsifi Now, therefore, if you
will obey My voice and keep My
commandment then ye shall be a pe
culiar treasure unto Me above all
people; for all the earth is Mine. And
ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of
priests and an holy nation.”
All His dealings with them up
to that moment had been of grace.
He .had made an unconditional
promise to Abraham, and had con
firmed it to the seed of Abraham.
He asked no contract with them;
He was simply telling them what
He wanted to do for them. I won
der if you can appreciate' how
greatly God loved them. He had
borne them on eagles’ wings and
had brought them, not to Sinai, but
to Himself. He was now on the
point of making them a peculiar
ti>asure' unto Himself, and a King
dom of priests and an holy nation—
and all of grace.
A Disastrous Step
But what did this people do?
When Moses brought this gracious
message to them, they answered—
all the people answered—“ All that
Jehovah hath spoken we will do.”
Oh, the folly, the self-confidence, the
cocksureness of it! They didn’t even
say they would try to do the best
they could; but they would do all
that Jeaovah had said!
Notice what happened. Moses re
turned to God with the words from
these people; and immediately God’s
attitude was changed completely.
Ho, 1 come unto thee in a thick
cloud that the people may hear when
I *speak with taee, and believe thee
forever.” Underscore these pro
nouns in your Bible. “Set bounds
• - . round about.” God had brought
the people unto Himself and wanted
to continue dealing with them as He
had been dealing with Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob; but they made that
impossible. He could not deal with
them in grace when they stood on
the ground of doing something He
said. He had to show them the im
possibility of such a thing for any
man. They must learn to know Him’
an’ to know their own hearts. Dark
ness and cloud became His manifes
tation. Bounds must be set lest they
come too near the mountain where
He was manifested. In their self
righeousness they could not come
near ’Jis holiness.
Three days’ preparation were re
quired. all tending to show them their
Incleanness and their unholiness. On
the third day in the morning, there
were thunders and lightnings such
as they had never heard before and
a thick cloud upon the mount, and
then the voice of a trumpet exceed
ing loud; so that all the people that
were in the camp trembled. Then
Mt. Sinai smoked. What would you
think if S*one Mountain began to
burn and a great smoke went up
from it Well, Mt. Sinai was a
great mass of ro*ck, and yet it ap
peared to be on fire, for Jehovah
• descended on it in fire: and the
smoke ascended as the smoke of a
great furnace, and the mountain
quaked greatly. And then the voice
of the trumpet (who was blowing
that trumpet?) sounded long and
flvaxed louder and louder! The writ
the Hebrews says “so terrible
wa>f the sight that Moses said. I ex
ceedingly fear and tremble.” Even
Moses shook and trembled.
Moses however had not put him
self under the very foolish position
of claiming to do all that God had
5 commanded, so God could deal with
Him as under grace: therefore God
called Moses up into the mount, and
Moses went up. God is only forbid
ding to those who want to deal with
Him on the basis of their efforts. To
these He then spoke Notice that
what we call the Ten Command
ments were spoken first by God
Himself in the hearing of all the
people and to people who had said
“All that the Lord shys we will do."
And notice also that after He had
finished telling them what He re
quired of them under such cireum-

stances they backed off from the
mountain, and asked that Moses
speak to them and not God any
more. “The people stood afar off,
but Moses drew near unto the thick
darkness where God was.”
What Do They Mean?
Are the Ten Commandements given
us as a law of life? Is that the ef
fect they had on the people to whom
they were given? Did they not rather
produce the opposite effect and bring
them under the curse of death?
These people put themselves under
the law; they had been dealt with
under grace. God had given them
freely without any contract with
them. Now they put themselves un
der contract not to be dealt with,
but to do all that God requires. He
had no other alternative that to show
them what He requires and expect
of them that they do it and do it all.
The Ten Commandments show us
what God requires, what God wants
every man and woman to do and
who has ever lived up to that re
quirement? Is there anyone who
can live up to that requirement?
Study them a bit before you an
swer. Can you have no other gods
before Him? Have you made no
representation of Him? Have you
always hallowed His name? Have
you always kept His day holy.’
Have you always honored your fa
ther and mother as His representa
tives? Have you never killed nor
wished to? Have you never held
in your heart that lustful look which
would have produced adultery if you’
had not been held in check? Have
jmu never taken that which was
another’s—his property, or his good
name? Have you never by impli
cation borne false witness? Have
you never inordinately wished for
that which was another’s?
Can the law be to you a law of
life? Is it not rather to show you
how far short you have come of
God's standard for you and there
fore reveal to you the fact that you
are under the curse of the death
and in the need of a Savior?
No, the Ten Commandments can
never bring life. They were never
intended for that; they were given
to a people who forgot all God’s
gracious dealings with them and
put themselves in the attitude of
promising to do all that God re
quired and thereby forced God to
show them how great His require
ments were and how utterly impos
sible it was for them to keep it.
j Can they mean then a rule of
life? Did God give them, not as a
law to give life, but as g rule of
life, a rule to shape our lives by?
The law is. perfect; am I to live by
it? A perfect mirror will reveal
to me crooked legs, but it won’t
straighten them out. A perfect
plumbline will reveal to me the
crookedness of my way, but it won’t
straighten it out. A perfect lamp
will show me all the hindrances and
obstacles in my way, but it won’t
remove them. The law can do no
more than reveal. It is neither a
law to produce life, nor a rule by
which to shape life. Paul tells us
what it is—a pedagogue to bring us
to Christ. He alone has met all the
requirements of God, and He alone
is the rule of our life. When we
study the law we are brought to a
conviction of our ■ desperate need of
a Savior, and after we have ac
cepted Him and put ourselves un
der His blood, the law has nothing
more to do with us. We are no
longer under the law, but under
grace. Having been saved by grace,
we are also sanctified by grace. We
are not saved by grace and sancti
fied by law. Yet this is the attitude
of most believers today—and a mis
erable mess they are making of it,
when they might be glorifying God
by wonderfully beautiful lives if
they thought nothing of law and
only of Him who has perfectly kept
the law for us.
A Terrible Photograph
If you would like to see a picture
of yourself just read Ex. 20:24-ch. 23.
You may not have recognized it as
of yourself until now; but think!
God would not have given any of
these laws if it had not been that
man was capable of committing
such sins. The very fact that He
found it necessary to say, ‘Ye shall
not afflict the widow’ shows that
somebody would afflict a widow; the
fact that it was necessary for Him
to give such a command as Ex. 22:19
simply shows the degradation to
which man away from God can and
will go. Read these chapters care
fully and see the depravity of your
heart, what it is entirely possible for
you to do and to be, except for His
marvelous grace.
But in reading them see another
photograph, one of wondrous beau
ty. It is a picture of the great God
Himself who is not only the Crea
tor of the universe, but the Divine
Lover of all His creatures, who is
careful of a servant’s tooth and of
a neighbor’s ass. As you look at
the terrible photograph of yourself,
look again at the beautiful photo
graph of Him, and remember that
He has only given you the law be
cause it was forced upon Him; and
that His greatest desire is for you
to come to Himself, if you will.
Where Does Visit End
And Board Bill Begin?
Jury Solves Question
AUGUSTA, Ga., Jan. 26.—When
your kinsfolk come to see you for a
spell, when does the visit end and
the time to pay board begin?
This was the question put to a
jury of twelve good men and true
W>y Judge A. L. Franklin in superior
court here yesterday. The jurv,
after wrestling with the problem, re
turned a verdict for the plaintiff.
But that is getting ahead of the
story.
The case was that of Mr#. J. S.
Young vs. Frank Paul, claiming S6O
due as board bill for Daul and his
wife. Mrs. Paul and Mrs. Young
are sisters.
It appears from the evidence that
Mrs. Paul went to visit Mrs. Young
about a year ago, Mrs. Young hav
ing a boarding house at that time.
Mrs. \oung, so it was testified, was
in poor health and not working.
After Mrs. Paul arrived at the
Youngs for a visit, she was followed
by Mr. Paul, who also was not
working at the time, according to
the testimony. Mr and Mrs. Paul,
it seems, remained at the Youhg I
home for six weeks.
After the Pauls left, and Mr. Paul I
had gone to work. Mr. Young sought 1
to collect S6O board from the Pauls
by means of garnisheeing Mr. Paul’s
wages. From these proceedings the
case took its natural course Into
superior court.
While the jury carefully bore In
: mind the admonition of the court, i
'in which they were told that they I
; must decide when a visit ends and ■
j board begins, yet they returned a I
. verdict of $lB on the ground that i
- Mr. Paul should be required ’o nay ;
! board for the time he snent st s he
I Voting horn*, whereas Mrs. Paul,
could be regarded as a visitor.

Have you ever stopped to think
that when nature seems to punish
you with trying -weather, she gives
you some compensation like this?
It is a mighty good and helpful
thing to try and find these compen

Here I am asking you to open the door
once more. Oh. it is just a West Virginia
cousin wjio has been here before. I am
sending a poem to be printed. I think ft
is just beautiful and I am sure ydu all will
agree with me.
The Two Locks of Hair
A youth, light-hearted and content,
I wander through the world,
Here, Arab-like, is pitched niy tent,
And straight again is furled.
Vet oft I dream, that once a wife
Close In my heart was tacked,
And in the sweet repose of life
A blessed child I racked.
I wake! Away that dread—away;
Too long did it remain!
So long that both by night and day
It ever comes again.
The end lies ever in my thought;
To a grave so cold and deep,
The mother beautiful was brought,
Then dropt the child asleep.
But now the dream Is wholly over,
I bathe mine eyes and see,
And wander through the world once more
Ayouth so light and free.
Two locks—and they are wondrous fair—
Left me that vision mild,
The brown is from the mother’s hair,
The blond is from the child.
And when I see that lock of gold,
Pale grows the evening—red.
And when the dark lock I behold.
I wish that I was dead.
I would like to hear from all who care
to writ®, will answer all letters received
from boys and girls. I will bid vou all
adieu. (MISS) BERNICE HUGHES.

Dear Folks;
1 sent away for a book on Valen
tine parties and when it reached me
I found that these parties could not
be described in the small space that
I could give, and did not seem either
practical or of much pleasure. So
here is one that we played some
years ago, and it seems better than
the new games.
Either buy or cut from bristol
board red and white hearts, put on
these numbers, one red for a boy,
one white for the girl, put the red
hearts in one basket, the white in
another, let the boys draw the red
and the girls the white, the two
hearts marked 1, are of course sup
posed to beat as one and these two
are partners. Let your game be like
this, on slips of paper write verses
suitable for Valentine’s day, leaving
off the last one or two words, the
couple that best finishes their verse
gets the prize, one for the boy, one
for the girl.
For your refreshments have to
mato aspic, this made as you would
jelly, in place of the water using the
strained juice from canned tomatoes,
seasoned to taste, this gives you the
red you want, have hot rolls or bis
cuits, a slice of baked ham and
something to drink, serve red can
dies if you wish.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Mary Lou:
Above I have suggested the tomato
jelly to serve as a salad, but as your
letter requests a definate receipt will
give it here.
One envelope of gelatine.
1-2 cup of cold water.
3 1-2 cups tomato juice.
1-2 onion—l-2 bay leaf.
Stalk of celery or celery seed to
taste.
2 cloves, 2 tablespoons of apple
vinegar.
Few grains of cayenne pepper, salt
to taste.
Soak gelatine in cold water five
minutes. Mix remaining ingredients,
except the vinegar, bring to boiling
point, let boil ten minutes, add gela
tine and vinegar, when gelatine is
thoroughly dissolved, strain. Dip
your mold or bowl in cold water,
pour in mixture which has begun to
cool, allow to set. Serve on lettuce,
top off with mayonnaise.
Curls:
Just write your friend a frank
letter, tell him that you have tried
to understand his silence and can
only feel that your letter offended
him; that you intended no offense,
and that you trust in view of your
long and pleasant friendship that
he will write you just what has
caused his silence.
M. E. D.:
Have already given the only game
I know for Valentine’s day.
H. C.:
If this man will not give up drink
ing because of his own self respect
he will never give it up for you, and
your present supposed unhappiness
at being away from him is nothing
to your suffering if you marry him
and he drinks. You will find that
your father knows best. The best
time is not always as you first see
it. A girl cannot be too careful in
her conduct.
do, come around the next frost-biting, ice
popping cold spell, when our big ponds are
frozen over, and we will skate some. What
do you cousins like to do best? I believe I
would rather clerk than almost anything.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
If You Are One of (lie Many Girls
Who Doesn’t Attract Men, Stop
Trying to Be a Vamp and Con
centrate on Your Job—You’ll
Be Happier and Perhaps Get
a Husband in the Bargain.
EVERY day some girl writes me
that she is young, quite as
pretty as the other girls about
her, that she dresses as well, and
makes as good an appearance as
they do, and strives to please, but
that nO man ever
X* P ft ys her the
f slightest atten-
I tion, or asks her
Xto step out witi)
him of an eve-
Then this girl
goes on to say
that she is a
\ business girl, but
she doesn’t make
> a very e° od sal '
/ X 'Ju ary, and she is
0 discouraged, and
; blue, and wants
to know what to
do.
My advice to a girl in this situa
tion—and there are millions of her
—is to forget men. Give up the
struggle to attract them. Quit try
ing to catch one. Can the romance
stuff. Throw all thoughts of mar
riage into the discard. Just accept
the fact that nature did not put you
into the vamp class, and play your
game of life from that angle.
This counsel will be a bitter pill
for the girl to swallow, but she will
find that it is good for what ails her,
and that it will work a speedy and
permanent cure for most of her trou
bles. Why certain women are a
magnet that draws every man they
meet to them, and why there are
other women, just as good-looking,
just as charming in every way, that
nothing in trousers ever goes near
except upon compulsion, is one of
the mysteries that nobody has ever
solved. Nor has any one been able
to suggest a remedy for this state
of affairs.
Science, has measured the distance
to the sun, but it has never yet been
able to tell a girl how to tempt the
boy next door in to see her. when
he doesn’t want to come. It has
torn its secrets from the earth, bur
it can not find out what quality it
is in woman that lures man. It has
invented chemicals that work magic
in th* physical world, but it has
never discovered a reliable love
philter.
So that’s that. And if It is a wise
girl who has the courage to look
herself in the face, see whether she
has that come-hither look in her eye,
and if she hasn’t, to recognize the
fact, and devote herself to a more
promising occupation than chasing
men, who always make their get
away in the end, unless they desire
to be caught.
So I would urge the girl who is
not popular with men to stop wast
ing her time and her energies in
the vain attempt to decoy them into
noticing her, and to put all of that
lost motion and force into her work*
where she will get better results.
Believe me. It the girl who does
not attract men was as anxious to
sell herself to her job as she is to sell
herself socially, she would not have
FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Teach Trees Suited to the Home
Orchard
G. W. 8., Tiger, Ga., writes:
I want to set out about thirty
peach trees this winter just for
home use. What varieties would
you recommend?
Among the varieties of peaches
which should be planted in the small
orchard for family use are the fol
lowing:
The Greensboro, which is also call
ed the Early Red June. This is a
large, round, creamy-colored peach
of attractive appearance, but does
not ripen very evenly. A good mid
season peach is the Carman. The
flesh is white, tinted with red next
to the pit. It has a fine flavor. The
Hiley, sometimes called the Early
Belle and Hiley Belle, Is a smooth,
whitish peach. The tree is a vigor
ous grower. It is a popular tree in
this state. The Belle, or Georgia
Belle, is another fine peach. It is
the parent of the Hiley. The tree
is rather hardy, and the color and
quality of the peach make it a fa
i vorite. The Elberta, of course, is
. a good late season peach. It makes
| a wonderfully good appearance, and
is a fine shipper. It is a very cos
mopolitan variety a s well, and suc
ceeds well in all sections of the
state. The Mayflower is an extra
early variety of peach. It might pay
one situated like yourself to have
two or three trees of this strain on
that account.
Keeping the I,awn Green During
Winter
M. G. M.. Athens, Ga., writes:
I wish to know what kind of
grass seed to sow on my lawn so
it will be green in the winter. Is
is necessary to apply any fer
tilizer?
The nice, green lawns met with
here and there throughout the south
have resulted primarily from the
seeding of rye grass. This !
is an annual grass, unfortunately, ;
and therefore must be sown each |
year. About ten pounds of this grass I
seed should be sown on a small i
lawn. The sooner it can be put out, j
the better. It is useless, of course, I
to put it out when the ground is I
too dry. On a lawn that is already
established, the best procedure would
be as follows:
Rake up the leaves carefully so ;
as to leave the surface of the ground
clean and in good condition for seed- j
ing. Then scatter the seed out on
a quiet day. The distribution should :
be made as uniformly as possible so
as to obtain an even stand. Then i
scarify the ground very thoroughlv I
7 Escaped Convicts

to complain long of holding a small
position. She would be a highly paid
private secretary, or buyer, or de
partment manager.
If the girl who does not attract
men studied her employer’s moods
and tenses as earnestly as she does
those of some little jellybean boy.
and if she was es anxious to please
her emu ployer as she is to please the
jazzhoppers and cake-eaters of her
acquaintance, she would find her
self one of the valued employes
who are never afra d of losing their
position's, and who is always spoken
of as "our Miss So-and-So.”
If the girl who dues not attract
men would put ore-hundredth part
of the intensive study that she gives
to the technique of the popular girl(
on trying to find ou r about the goods
she handles, and the details of the
business she is employed in, she
would have employers fighting over
her.
In a word, if the girl who isn’t
popular with men would concen
trate her thoughts, her interests,
and her ambitions, on getting along
in the occupation she has chosen,
instead of wasting her time and en
ergies in a fruitless attempt to
charm men, she would be a success
instead of a fa.lure. She would be
happy instead of miserable.
For as it is now she falls between
the stools. She is a poor makeshift
in her job who gets nowhere. And
she is a siren without a song to at
tract men who fails to arrive at the
altar.
And take it from me, girls, the
woman who espouses a career
doesn’t get the worst husband there
is. The woman who puts her heart
into her work has a vital interest
that never fails, and that never
grows stale. There is something
new and exciting happening in it ev
ery hour. The woman who is never
dull is the ■woman who is busy.
Climbing up the ladder is the most
exhilarating sport jn the world, and
there is the peace that passes all
understanding in possessing your
own well-lined pocketbook.
Furthermore, there is this com
fort to be given the girl who quits
trying to attract men, and gets busy
with her job. Men are contrary
creatures. Pursue them, and they
flee from you. Lay traps and they
walk wide of them. But let them
alone, indicate that you are indif
ferent to them, that you are con
cerned with your own affairs in
which they have no part, let them
realize that you can get on quite
well without them, and it piques
their interest. . They come flocking
around of their own accord to see
what manner of woman you are.
Also the girl who makes some
thing of herself, and who rises high
in her profession is thrown with the
men at the top, the men of brains
and they are often attracted to her
while the silly little boys wth whom
she used to play about with were
not.
So I say again to the girls who are
not attractive to men. stop wasting
your time in the useless attempt o
vamp men. Put your heart and your
soul in your job. Work is the conso
lation prize God gives us when wc
miss getting the thing we wanted
most.

with a steel garden rake. This is
for the purpose of burying or cover
ing the seed. It is good practice,
if you can secure a load or two of
decayed leaf mold, or woods earth
to scatter over the surface of the
lawn. Very thoroughly decaved and
properly fined yard manure will also
answer for this purpose. Commer
cial fertilizer may be used at the rate
of 1,000 pounds per acre or two sacks
for a small lawn. We have found
a formula containing about 4 per
cent nitrogen, 9 per cent phosphoric
acid and 4 per cent potash quite sat
isfactory. The nitrogen may be part
ly derived from organic sources and
partly from Inorganic. It is our
practice to put the fertilizer on some
days after the grass has been plant
ed. One or two applications during
the winter season will often prove
more satisfactory than a single ap
plication made early in the fall. Most
lawns tend to become acid, and so
they should be limed occasionally,
say once in three years. Two or
three sacks of well slaked builders’
lime will answer very well for this
purpose on a small lawn.

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS
Danny’s Astonishing -Surprise <
Appearance so oft deceive
Be not too ready to believe.
• ■ —Old Mother Nature,
Danny Meadow Mouse never had
heard of a snake with a bill. But
if this wasn't just what he was
looking at, then. Danny could no
longer trust his eyes. To Danny
any snake was bad enough, but
somehow one. with a bill seemed
worse. This Sunny South certainly
was a land of strange people.
Danny wished the leaves of that,
tree were not so thick. He wanted
to see the whole of this snake with
a bill. He wanted to see if it was
as big as Mr. Gopher Snake who'
had so badly frightened him a few
■Jays before. But the leaves were
in the way, and all Danny could
see were the head, neck and what
he thought was part of the body.
Danny waited and waited and
waited right where he was. He
didn't wait because he wanted to
wait. Oh my, no! Np indeed! He
waited because he didn’t dare do
anything else. He didn’t dare move.
At last this long wait was brought
to an end very suddenly. There
was a movement behind the leaves
which hid the body of the snake
with a. bill. The head and nock
disappeared. There was a splash in
the water.
"He must be a water snake,”
thought Danny, and peeped out over
the water. Nothing was to be
seen. The snake with a bill had
disappeared. He must be under
water.
Now was Danny’s chance to get
away from Jpere. He knew it. He
knew that cne thing for him to do
was to take to his short legs, But
curiosity was too much for him. He
was as curious as ever was Peter
Rabbit. So instead of running away,
he crept a little nearer to the edge
of the bank that he might see bet
ter.
For a few minutes he saw noth
ing but the smooth water of the
river, and Grandpa Pelican sitting
on his favorite stump. Then some
distance out from the shore sudden
ly appeared that same head and
neck which had so frightened him
at first.
“He is a snake! And he has a
bill!” gasped Danny to himself.
“And, oh dear, he is coming straight
over here!”
Danny turned around. He took'
one more frightened look behind
him. Then he stopped. Yes, sir,
he stopped. “I rmver!” exclaimed
Danny. “I never did!” He rubbed
his looked again. He
blinked. He blinked several times.
“No, sir, I never did!” he exclaimed
again.
There was no snake out there in
the water, but there was a bird, a
big black bird with silvery spots on
his back, and a long, slim neck and
snake-like head, with a long, slim,

was looking this curious stranger
sank until his body was below the
water, leaving only his head and
neck above. Danny knew then that 0
this was the same fellow who had
been up in the tree, and whom he
had mistaken for a snake with a '
bill, because all he had been able
to see had been that long, slim neck

2 How to Make Pine |

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip
tions and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have a remarkable
effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The “syrup” part
is usually plain sugar syrup. - '
To make the best bine- cough remedy
that money can buy, put 2% ounces
of Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill ir»
with home-made sugar syrup. Gr
you can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you make a full pint—
more than you can buy ready-made
for three times the money. Ik is
pure, good and tastes very’pleasaint.
You can. feel this take hold of a
cough or cold in away that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be persist
ently loose from the formation of
phlegm. The cause is the same—in
flamed membranes—and this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop it
—usually in 24 hours on less. Splen
did. too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse
ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
pound of genuine Norway pine ex- .■
tract, and is famous the world over •
for its prompt effect upon coughs.
Beware of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for “2% ounces of Pinex”
with directions, and don’t accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso
lute satisfaction or money refunded.
