MILLIONAIRES IN U. S. SHOW BIGJNCREASE Number Doubled Twice Since Before War; 313 in Indiana. BY FLORA G. ORR WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—According to the Wall Street Journal, there are now 30,517 ipillionaires in the United States, four times as many as pre-war estimates. Whether all of these have a million dollars in cash or securities or not, one can’t say, but income tax figures show that they are paying taxes on incomes which indicate that each must be in possession of assets of at least a million dollars. It is during the last three years that the crop of millionaires has been so startling. The figures have jumped in a way which reminds you of the overproduction of wheat. New York Leads Whereas there were only 16,634 millionaires in 1923, this number almost doubled in 1926. During 1925 it 'Seems we somehow created 9,000 new millionaires. In New York there are 9,690 of them. In Pennsylvania, 3,066. In lillinois, 2.792. In Massachusetts, 1,951. In Florida, 1,229. In California, 1,694. Oklahoma has 174; Kansas, 80; lowa, 125; Nebraska, 58; Mississippi, 34; Alabama, 101; Colorado, 139; Indiana, 313; Minnesota, 337; Maryland, 480; New Mexico, 3; District of Columbia, 272; Texas,-380; Tennessee, 141. North Dakota has two millionaires. Idaho has one. Figures compiled by the Bureau of Internal Revenue and now being studied by the House Ways and Means Committee show that a millionaire is apt to live to a ripe old age. One out of twelve lives to the age of 90, and seven out of night go past the three-score mark. Insurance Usually Heavy There were 283 millionaires who died in 1925, and their estate show that they usually carry heavy life insurance. The average insurance for a millionaire is $35,000. but when a man is a multi-millionaire his insurance is apt to run higher, in some cases as high as $850,000. Real estate investments, it is estimated, make up about 8 per cent of a millionaire’s estate; Federal bonds, 6 per cent; tax exempt bonds, about $337,000; industrial and railroad bonds, about $275,000; mortgages and miscellaneous assets, about $230,000; capital stock, about 50 per cent of the entire estate. Estates left by millionaires shrink about one-fourth during the administration, it is estimated. Asks $6,000 Alimony NEWCASTLE, Ind„ Oct. 31.—Mrs. Mary E. Zimmer, Middletown, asks $6,000 alimony in a divorce suit fiieti in Henry Circuit court here against Andrew A. Zimmer. She alleges he has cursed her every day since their marriage July 20, last.

Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup Easily and cheaply made at heme, but it bents them all for quick results.

Thousands of housewives have found how to save two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough preparations, by using this well-known old recipe for making cough syrup. It is simple and cheap but it has no equal for results. It gives immediate r-elief, usually stopping an ordinary cough in 24 hours or less. Get 2% ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into a pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make a full pint. If you prefer, use clarified honey, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes ‘good, keeps perfectly, aifd lasts a family a long time. It’s truly astonishing how quickly it.acts, penetrating through every air passage of the throat and lungs—loosens and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing better for bronchitis, hoarseness or bronchial asthma. Pinex is a special and highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract and palatable guaiacol, known the world over for its healing effect on membranes. To avoid disappointment, ask your druggist for “2% ounces of Pinex” with directions. Guaranteed to give a absolute satisfaction or money Shu promptly refunded. 'The yT.-.-i, I’incx Cos., Ft.
