Best Remedy for Cough Is Easily Mixed at Home

You’ll never know how quickly a stubborn cough or chest cola can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, because it gives more prompt, positive relief than anything else. It's no trouble at all to mix and costs but a trifle. Into a pint bottle, pour 2% ounces of Pincx: then add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to make n full pint. This saves two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough medicine, and gives you a purer, better remedy. It never spoils, and tastes good—children like it. You can actually feel its penetrating, soothing action on the inflamed throat membranes. It is also absorbed into the bloodj where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. At the same time, it promptly loosens the germ-laden phlegm. This three-fold action explains why it brings such quick relief even in severe bronchial coughs which follow cold epidemics. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for severe cougha, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

RERELS FORCE PERU MILITARY REGIME TO QUIT J New Provisional Government Ends Immediate Civil War Threat. By United Press LIMA, Peru, March 2.—A new provisional government ruled Peru today in place of the military junta of Lieutenant-Colonel Luis F. Sanchez Cerro, whose resignation Sunday ended the immediate threat of a civil war. Intervention of the navy, on the side of the revolutionists who have been demanding the retirement of the military leader, forced him to yield, and Ricardo Leoncio Elias, chief jushce of the supreme court, was sworn in as head of the new government. The navy issued a manifesto revealing that some 2,000 troops aboard transports, believed en route to southern Peru to attack rebels at Arequipa, Cuzco and Puno, never had gone outside Callao harbor. The cruiser Grau prevented the departure of the transports after they had sailed away with Sanchez Cerro’s blessing. They get out of sight behind San Lorenzo island, but no farther. Sanchez Cerro was left in Lima with only one regiment of regular troops and the city police force. With rebel movements on both sides-of the capital and most of che loyal army anchonred in Callao bay, the provisional president had no choice but to resign.

Courtland Dines COLORADO SPRINGS, Col., March 2.—The condition of Courtland S. Dines, Denver clubman and one-time friend of Mabel Norman, motion picture actress, was reported improved today by physicians. Dines, who had been ill for several months, was taken to the Colorado Springs psychopathic hospital after relatives presented a petition declaring he was “incapable of taking care of his property.” He previously had been under care of doctors and two nurses at a mountain ranch. Repeated sinking spells alarmed members of his family and he was removed to Colorado Springs.

CAPONE MAY BE MERE PAWN OF UNKNOWN BOSS • Al Thought to Be 'Front/ Keeping Attention From Real Vice Lords. BY MARBEN GRAHAM United Press Staff Correspondent (OooyriKht. 1931. by United Press) CHICAGO, March 2.—A ring of super-gangsters, it developed today, may be using the notorious “Scarface Al” Capone as a mere pawn to direct suspicion of federal, state and city officials away from the actual heads of America’s most powerful liquor, vice and gambling syndicate. Capone, the information goes, has been allowed to attain his reputation as the lord of the American underworld so that his astute and extremely mysterious employers may pursue their billion-dollar ex-tra-legal businesses without any particular interference from authorities. Asa Chicago gangster would tell the story, if he dared; “Scarface Al maybe isn’t such a big shot after all. It begins to look like he’s just the front to take the raps for the higher ups.” Confidential information indicates that Capone’s immediate employers are of Chicago, men who have no ostensible connection with his nefarious operations. So fearful was the informant that he would be “put on the spot,” however, that he refused flatly to identify further the men for whom he said he believed

Capone labored as a sort of human show window. Other sources close to Capone insisted, meanwhile, that the story was “absurd.” It is to the advantage of the Capone cohorts, of course, to keep intact his reputation as the richest criminal now living, whether or not the story is true. Japan produces 300 more movies every year than Britain does.

" • \W Simple itoLose Fatia A PoundalDay on a Full Stomach

Do Just These Two Simple Things ' —Fat Melts Away Science has made important discoveries in fat reduction. The average fat person can now rip off fat a pound a day—four to seven pounds every week!—on a full stomach, with never a hungry moment. Thus it is foolish now to stay fat. This is what you do:. Take a teaspoonful ordinary Jad Salts in a glass of water half hour before breakfast every morning. This reduces moisture-weight instantly. Also cleanses the system of the waste matter and excess toxins that most fat people have, and banishes puffiness and bloat. Then do this about eating. FILL YOUR STOMACH—oat your fill—of lean meats, vegetables like spinach,

SUICIDE EFFORTS FAIL’ City Girt Refuses to Give Police Reason for Her Act. After twice attempting suicide on Saturday night and Sunday by drinking poison and slashing her wrist with a razor.

cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., and lots of ealads. Eat a lot. Eat all you can hold. Don’t go hungry a minute! Cut down on butter, sweets and desserts, bread. Eat any fruit except bananas, for dessert. That’s all you do. Fat seems to melt away. The coarse lines of over weight give way to the refined ones of slenderness. You lose as much a® a pound a day. You feel better than for years. For in this treatment you achieve two important results. The Jad Salts clear your system of toxins. ’The diet take* off fat with food that turns into energy instead of weight. If you’re tired of being embarrassed by fat, try this way. You’ll be glad that you did. You can get Jad Salts at any drug store. *Note particularly—the salts are urged purely as a poison-banishing agent—not as a reducing. The change in food does the work.—Advertisement.
