You'll never know how quickly a bad cough can be conquered until you try this famous old homemade remedy. Any one who has coughed all day and all night will say that the immediate relief given is al- most like magic. It is very easily prepared, and there is nothing bet- ter for coughs. Into a pint bottle put 2V, ounces of Pinex; then add plain granu- Jated sugar syrup to make a full pint. Or you can use clarified mo- Jasses, honey or corn syrup instead of sugar syrup. Either way, the| full pint saves about two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough preparations, and gives you a more positive, effective remedy. It keeps perfectly and tastes pleasant—chil dren like it. You can feel this take hold in~ stantly, soothing and healing the membranes in all the air passages. It promptly loosens a dry, tight cough, and soon you will notice the phlegm thin out and disappear. A day’s use will usually break up an ordinary throat or chest cold, and it is also splendid for bronchitis, croup, hoarseness and bronchial asthima. Pinex is a most valuable concen= | trated compound of genuine Nor- way pine extract, the most reliable Yemedy for throat and chest ail- ments. To avoid disappointment, ask your druggist for “2'; ounces of inex” with directions and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed | to give absolute satisfaction or money refunded. The Pinex Co., Ft.

ALL DRUGGISTS = | EVENING AMUSEMENTS Magic and the Magician. Rabbits that disappear and ap- near again strangely from the coate alls of elderly gentlemen; pigeons slucked from the vacant air; women hrough whose bodles pass a mon- strous hack and women in & cataleptic trance suspended in mid- air, all these tricks of magie, tinged with a little of the occultism of the orient and stunts calculated to tickle the younger generation, were brought again to the Belasco last night by Thurston, the magician, successor to the great Herman and pupil of Kellar, whose successor he Card tricks galore, handkerchiet tricks and numerous stunts of deft juggling with human bodles, pass ing them from box to box in plain view of the audlence, combine to puzzle and mystity as performed by Thurston, who, true to his formula, brings again to Washington the message: “Of course, good people, I am here to entertain and mystify you. But in doing so I wouldn't de- celve you for the worl A packed house, packed from lon before the doors were opened, greet the master magician at the Belasco last night to witness again a program which included all the old famillar tricks of the stage magiclan and many new ones ciaimed to be Thurston's own. Thurs- ton himself is a comedlan as well as & magiclan, as his treatment of the young. men and women he invites on the stage to help in his performance testifies, for frequently the master ‘“pulled” stunts on his voluntary helpers they had not bargained for. His feat of sawing & woman in two while one member of the audience holds her feet and another holds her hands, never fails to enthrall, when combined with the injunction by the magician that the audience must not laugh, for fear “a slip of the saw might causé an accident” Nor does his balancing of a woman in midalr, passing hoops about her body to show the absence of wires, “fail to mystify. A live lloness, led from an apparently empty cage, nearly acared a young man to death. Thurston had a skeptical audience in the galleries, for after passing a woman trom one box to another some gallery- ite yelled to “open the first box.” He demurred, the galleryite insisted, and finally he opened the box to show it empty. The magiclan introduces something new to his Washington audiences in the form of “spirit manifestations” within a cabinet. He ehows the usual card tricks, and the usual stunts with handkerchiefs. But it is a safe injunction to the young- ster who goes on the stage hoping to secure a live pigeon or rabbit: “Don't let him wrap it up,” for in doing so three youngsters last night lost their prize. *The Covered Wag’on." The great historical picture, “The Covered Wagon,” at Poll's, which has been packing them in for two weeks, opened its third week with capacity houses yesterday. The early struggies of the settlers of the west always have been an in- toresting theme for Uncle Sam's peo- ple, and to see these hardy men and women actually as they were in real life, facing the dangers necessary to make the United States what it is to- day, creates a thrill equal to the best melodrama the stage has ever known. Interspersed through the long, perilous journey of the great wagon train. runs a llkable romance of two young people, with ité villain, its disappointments’ and its adven- ture that adds to the enjoyment of the big scenes. Thousands of people participated in the making of the pictures, together with Indians, buftaloes and horses, to add realism to the story of the long journey over plains and mountains. The selection of a cast to depict the characters that stand out in “The Covered Wagon” was of ftself a tell- ng test of the master director, James “ruze, and it is doubtful it better people could have been secured any- where. The audience easily drifts back over the intervening seventy- 0dd vears and actually lives amid the struggles of real people, long dead and gone, but brought back to life in the picture. Lois Wilson is the heroine and J. Warren Kerrigan is the hero of the romance, and few, if any, can resist their realistic deplction of the char- acters they assume. And then the are the old trappers, Ernest To! ronce and Tully Marshall, who fu nish the comedy, not to mention the “tobacco-chawin’" kid, Jed Wingats who plcks the banjo to enliven thing: and develops s & big hero in breal ing through the hordes of Indians and bringing relief to the badly pressed ploneers who are besleged. Pictures of this class bring out the pure patriotism of the people, and Washington is showing many freal Americans who have risen to the slon. “Little Cinderella.” Clever comedy, catchy songs and entertaining dances form the basis of the entertainment at the Strand this week, with the musical comedy “Lit- tle Cinderella” heading a bill and pre- sented by Dorothy Waters and Tra- man_Stanley, assisted by a cast of seven.

This story, by Peter Clark McFar- lane, is said to be a slightly varied revelation of the author's checkered career. ~However that may be, the unfolding of & tale of the wholesome influence of a sincere minister of the gospel and the partially uccessful attempt of ' woman to wredk him Is beautifully and simply done by a ground of the rich and poor, who con- stitute the membership of his church. John Hempstead was once an actor —and In love with his leading lady. When the story opens, however, he is seen as the successful pastor of a 1little mission that has grown, through his efforts, into a thriving congrega- tion. A handsome new edifice which is truly a monument to his work is about to be dedicated. Furthermore, he is engaged to the daughter of his wealthiest parishioner. Incidentally, he has tried to turn into respectibil- ity the son of this same parishioner, along with other riff-raff which he has been making into good citizens. On the day before the dedicatory ceremony John's former leading lady appears on the scene and with the un- witting ald of the scapegrace Rollle, a web of criminal evidence Is woven about the unsuspecting parson which calls for an apparently losing fight to save his own honor and at the same time not to betray confidences entrusted to his keeping.
