Pattern No. Size__ Namo Address This Home-Mixed Cough Relief Is T ruly Surprising So Easy. No Cooking. Big Saying. You may not know it, but, in your own kitchen, you can easily prepare a really surprising relief for coughs due to colds. It's old-fashioned?your mother probably used it?but for real results, it's hard to beat. First, make a syrup by stirring S cups granulated sugar and one cup of water a few moments, until dis solved. No cooking needed. It's no trouble. Or you can use corn syrup or liquid honey, instead of sugar syrup. Then get 2% ounces of Pinex from any druggist. This is a special com pound of proven ingredients, in con centrated form, well known for qutek action in throat and bronchial irritations. Put the Pinex into a pint bottle, and fill up with your syrup. Thus you make a full pint of splendid cough syrup, and you get about four times as much for your money. It never spoils. Children love its pleasant taste. And for quick relief, it's a wonder. It loosens the phlegm, soothes the irri tated membranes, eases the soreness, makes breathing easy, and lets you get restful sleep. Just try it. and if not pleased, your money will be refunded. [at?

PRESENTATION OF COLD FACTS BEST CAMPAIGNING METHOD IF IT SHOULD ever be my prov ince to conduct the election pub licity for either party, which it will not be, I would take a tip from the political wisdom and psychological understanding of Harrison E. Span gler of Iowa. I have seen them ap plied. More than six months before the convention that nominated Gov. Al fred Landon of Kansas as the Re publican candidate for President, Spangler, then vice-chairman of the Republican national committee, opened a western headquarters of the party in Chicago. In December, 1933, he began offering factual in formation regarding the operations of government to the rural press of the nation. In the material offered there were no vitupera tive condemnations of the opposing parties. There was nothing that could be considered partisan unless a plain statement of facts about government operation could be con sidered as such. The rural news paper editors, always chary of prop aganda, did not consider the mate rial anything other than what was claimed for it, a presentation of facts. Close to 6,000 rural, editors asked for, and printed the mate rial. That service to the newspapers continued each week up to, and for a week after, the convention in late June. Early in July the Literary Di gest mailed its straw vote cards to several million names, as it had done in a number of pre vious Presidential campaigns. Those cards were checked by the recipients and returned to the Digest before the middle of July, but the tabulation was not completed, and tbe result an nounced, until the first week of October. That straw vote, taken in early July, indicated the election of Lan don. The Digest poll had demon strated its accuracy through many campaigns. It was equally accurate at the time it was taken in 1936. The political conditions at that time were those created by Harrison Spangler's campaign of government facts. He had molded public opinion with the presentation of those facts at a time when politics as such was not being talked. Then came the more than three bectie months of the active campaign waged under a new party management. Spangler's factual material was thrown into the discard. In its place were the tirades and recrim inations that are usual in politi cal campaigns. Oratorical effort shouted charges and counter charges. Each week saw the Republicans losing votes that Spangler's facts had created. We all know the final result. That pre-convention cam paign, as conducted by Span gler, would teach me two les sons. First, to give the public unvarnished facts. The people will digest them into opinions. When the facts do not conform to what the people expect or want of government, they will vote for a change. They resent condemnation of one party by the other. They will do their own condemning when the facts call for such action. Second, I would conduct my fact campaign as far in advance of an election as possible. I would start it immediately after an election, rather than a few weeks before the next one. I could make more votes when the people were not being as sailed by campaign oratory, and were in a more reasoning mood. And I would not undo what I had accomplished by indulging in tirades. ? ? ? A MIMEOGRAPHED NOTE from the income tax collector tells me his office can no longer advise me as to tax payments, made or owed, because of a lim ited personnel. Senator Byrd's committee reports an increase of 10,564 employees In the treas ury department for June, 1946, as compared with June, IMS. There must be a "slow down" working in the treasury when they can no longer do what they formerly did when the de partment employed 14.564 less people. They still have enough personnel to assess penalties if I forget to pay when payment is due. ? ? ?

Woman's World Some Extra Skirts Will Make A Small Wardrobe Seem Larger <f '"pHOSE of us who have small * clothing budgets are constantly looking for ways to make them ap pear larger without adding too much extra expense to our allot ment. One big help to such a ward robe is an extra skirt or two, one for sports or casual wear and an other one for dress-up occasions. Fortunately, these skirts can be added to the wardrobe if you are handy with a needle and happen to have a coat that is no longer fash ionable. Perhaps you have a tweed sports coat that is showing too much wear. This can be ripped apart, and the inside of the material which is still bright and new looking?if it has been protected by a lining? can be fashioned into an attractive skirt. Soft wool spring or fall coats or evening wraps might still be good, although out of date, and they can offer their material for the dressy skirt. If you've done any amount of sew ing, you know that making a skirt is really a simple matter, much eas ier than a blouse or even a dress. Tailoring and fit are very impor tant, however, and every care should be taken to make the most of the fabric you are using. If you are using an old coat for the skirt, rip apart all of the seams, since the skirt must be recut en tirely. Use a pattern that gives you attractive lines, and make sure that you have plenty of material for the skirt you wish to make. Pleating a Skirt Requires Care If you have chosen to make a pleated skirt, work on a flat surface and have your basting thread and needles handy, as you will need all these helps. -N, // you hove enough blouses . ? ? Patterns show perforations where the pleats fold, and when cutting the skirt these should be marked heav ily with chalk. Fold the pleats on the line of the white chalk marks, using straight and even lines. Pin and baste carefully, working on a flat surface so that you can pleat the skirt all the way. It should be basted carefully and then pressed after you are certain the pleats are even and correct. In basting pleats it is best to baste the center pleat first, then the ones to either side. If the skirt is pleat ed all over in front, the pleats will overlap considerably at the waist line. In alltcases of pleating, keep the lengthwise grain of the fabric as correct as possible; otherwise, the skirt will appear lopsided and will be difficult to wear. Careful tailoring is required in making pleats, but it is possible for even a beginner to do this cor rectly, provided she measures care fully and works correctly. Use pat tern directions and tape measure discreetly. Stitching is very important if the finished skirt is to look nice, but with good basting stitches to guide you, there should be no difficulty in this respect. Hidden Zipper Gives Smooth Fitting Skirt Now that zippers are again avail able, plan to put one of them into your skirt if you want a nice, smooth look around the hips. Lay the closed fastener along the unstitched side of the skirt on the seam. Make sure the center of the zipper lies exactly over the seam line, with the slider down. Pin fastener in place easing fabric slightly and using the pins crosswise. Baste fastener in place, using large catch stitches, and keeping straight and neat. Remove pins and turn over the skirt. Make a pocket at the top of the placket to conceal the zipper by basting Vt inch below the top of the fastener and y? inch from the seam line and make the shaped end % of an inch wide across the top. Pivot needles at the corners when stitching in the zipper. All sewing authorities tell us that it is much easier to insert the zip per when it is closed. If there is enough material at the opening for this fastener, it may be folded and stitched as above to conceal the zip per. If there is not enough ma terial at the seam to do this, an extra piece will have to be stitched in before putting in the zipper to conceal it. Do not remove the stitching on the zipper or the seam until the work is completed. Too much can never be said on the importance of having hems properly sewed. But before this can be done, see that you have selected the proper length for your skirt. Have someone else pin it up for you if possible, or use one of the hem markers if you must do your own. Use a binding at the hem so that it can be stitched properly without being too bulky. Make It Wear! Careful finishing on a garment means longer wear, whether you are buying a garment or making it yourself. Check the following points to see whether garment is well finished: 1. Stitching on buttonholes should be firm with no sign of fraying. See that buttons are sewed firmly but not tight. 2. Check to see if all plackets are neatly finished, trim and not bulky. 3. Examine stitching to see that it is even and neat, and that all seams are held together. The thread should match the fab ric so well that you cannot tell too much of a difference between them. 4. All seams should be at least one-half inch deep. Finked seams are used for firm weaves otherwise fabric will fray. Bound seams are best for loosely wov en fabrics. French seams are best tor lightweight fabrics while a double stitched seam prevents fraying in a heavier type of fab ric. 5. Hemline should be straight and of a length becoming to the wearer. It should be^jf the same depth all the way around, finished with seam binding or turning un der. The ;oan( lady who Is about to go traveling will appreciate a bag large enongh to carry her glamor preparations neatly arranged in place on a removable upright tray. This bag comes in black, red, navy and hazelnut brown with self color stitching. Make tome extra tkirts. Fall Fashion Notes Necklines have taken to trim ming. You'll be in style if you have them trimmed with pearls or se quins, and your bodices show em broidered flowers?or elephants. Long forgotten luxurious notes are added to many garments, with raglan sleeves, dropped shoulder lines, and furs. Skirts are slightly shorter in some cases, but the knees still remain well covered. Black is the smart thing to wear j when you go to the city. It always ' looks neat and smart, and pearl ac cessories show off well with it. There's much pocket interest in the new suits. Some of them have broad flaps, others are deeply curved. There's interesting stitches on some of them too?all of which adds a simple and elegant decora tive note to the costume. Confined Turkeys May Be Profitable Many Advantages Seen For This System?But! Excellent turkeys may be raised in confinement. Better control can be secured. The method is well adapted for growers with small sized flocks, for late-hatched birds that are not ready for range before fall weather begins, where there is danger of soil contamination, on high-priced land or on farms with limited acreage. Also the problem Turkey! on range at Pennsyl vania experiment (tattoo. Range ia aeeded to orchard (rasa and Ladi no clover. of predators, etc., may make it ad visable to grow turkeys confined. Acreage, topography, drainage and texture of the soil are other important factors that H. H. Kaufi man of Pennsylvania state college recommends be considered when ranging turkeys. Labor, expense of equipment, overhead expenses, etc., are often smaller when large flocks are reared on range than in confine ment. In hilly country the turkeys should be moved to the valleys in the fall, as they reach maturity and the sea son of stormy weather approaches. Japanese Long-Horned Weevil Invades U. S. Another native insect pest of Ja pan may prove a menace to America if not destroyed in time, says Harry B. Weiss, chief of the N. J. bureau of plant industry. The t } Japanese lone - horned weevil which has been Introduced into the United States. Japanese long-horned weevil was first discovered by Weiss in 1916. The adults are primarily foliage feeders on more than 100 host plants, including annuals, perenni als, shrubs, deciduous trees and ev ergreens. The use of 26 per cent Cryolite dust was found effective at Connecticut in the control of the Japanese long-horned weevil. Fertilize Your Apple Trees During October Late September, October and No vember is the time for making a fall application of fertilizer on bear ing apple trees. The nitrogen which gets into the trees this fall is an insurance that the trees will get off to a good start next spring, believes D. S. Brown of the University of Illinois. For trees of good vigor, an ap plication of sulfate of ammonia, or its equivalent in another nitrogen carrier, at the rate of from one fourth to one-half pound per year of tree age may be used. The fall application should be followed by another at or before time of bloom in the spring. Partition for Calves When calves are placed in the barn (or feeding, complete parti tion! ahould be erected in order that each calf aecurea its proper amount of food. Proper growth can not be accomplished when calvea of various ages and sizes are allowed to compete tor their daily ration. Outbreaks of European Red Mites in Orchards Because of the fact that DDT does not kill European red mites but does destroy certain of the Insects that prey on this pest, the increase of the mites in orchards is of vital concern. While the feeding of the insect during September and October will have little effect upon the fruit crop, they do injure the tree per manently. A dinitro spray, D-4, or summer oil spray is effective.
