IT he Quick Way to |
Stop a Cough
This home-made syrup does the ▼
work in a hurry'. Easily pre- y
pared, and saves about $3. *;*
I
You might be surprised to know
that the best thing you can use for
a severe cough, is a remedy which
is easily prepared at home in just I
a few moments. It's cheap, but 'for
prompt results it beats anything else
you ever tried. Usually stops tho ordi
nary couph or chest cold in 24 hours. !
Tastes pleasant, too—children like it i
—and it is pure and good.
Pour 2',i ounces of Pinex in a
pint bottle; then fill it up with plain
granulated sugar syrup. Or use clari
fied molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup, if desired, j
Thus you make a full pint—a familv
supply—but costing no more than a I
small bottle of ready-made cough I
syrup.
And as a cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be had at nnv
price. It goes right to the spot and
gives quick, lasting relief. It promptly
heals the inflamed membranes that !
line the throat and air passages, stops
the annoying throat tickle, loosens the
phlegm, and soon your cough stops en-
Splendid for bronchitis, croup,
whooping cough and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
pound of Norway pine extract, famous i
for its healing effect on the membranes.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2V> ounces of Pinex" I
with directions and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso- ;
lute satisfaction or money refunded, 1

THURSDAY EVENING,
I and Montana, there uru 17 Re
publicans nnil IB Democrats. At
this hour Newberry, Republican,
seems to be maintaining ills lead
over Henry Ford. Kariy to-day
the lead of Senator John F. Nu
gent, of Idaho, was but 110 over
his Republican rival, Frank H,
Gooding. Supporters of Sena
tor Fad, of New Mexico, were
claiming Ills election on tho
bases of scattering returns.
Washington, Nov. 7.—With control
of Representatives placed in the
hands of the Republicans by a major
ity of sixteen and probably more.
| the attention of the country this
i morning was centered on contests
in three states —Michigan, Idaho and
! New Mexico—which will decide
j whether the Democrats shall lose
! control of the Sonata as well.
Returns from Ave Congressional
■ districts were still missing In Hon
i tana, New Mexico and South Dakota
, this morning.
Without them however, the Repub
; Means have won 234 seats in the
j House of Representatives sixteen
more than the 218 votes necessary
for a majority.
The Democrats on the face of those
1 returns had 195 seats and if the Ave
I missing districts were to be eon
i ceded to them they still would lack
| eighteen votes of the number ncces
| sary to control the House.
Clark in by Good Margin
The later returns show plainly
i that Speaker Clark, Instead of bo
| ing defeated as was reported as be- #
j ing likely last night, has .been re-'
elected by a substantial majority.
The contests which will decide the
[ political complexion of the Senate
' were very close. As the Senate
I stands without a decision in these
j contests there are 46 Democrats and
47 Republicans.
In Michigan the race between
Henry Ford and Truman 11. New-
I berry was so close that It was said
I an official count might be required
|to decide the winner. Both parties
! were claiming the seat.
In New Mexico, where Republicans
; are claiming the election of Senator
j Fall by a majority of one thousand
' at least, not a single county had re
j ported complete returns.
In Idaho, where 74,000 votes out
1 of an estimated total of 95,000 had
I been counted, Senator Nugent, the
i Democratic candidate for re-election
was leading Frank R. Gooding, the
1 Republican candidate by a little more
1 than 300' votes. The result is in
doubt.
Democrats Hop* For Senate
With tho House MrmlyMn the hands
of tho Republicans, control of the
Senate I 3 nioro Important than ever
to tho Democrutlo administration. It
the administration can retain con
trol of the Senate It cun In a large
measure check the aotlvltlea of n
Republican House. It Is doubly Im
portant to tho national administra
tion because of the pnrt which the
constitution uantgna to tho Senate
In tho ratification of tho peaco trea
ties which will end tho world war.
In the Sonato reposes the prero
ative of ratifying any treaties which
I tho President may make, Republi
cans made one of' thefr campaign
arguments 011 tho contention that u
Republican Senate should be elected
to participate In the work of making
pence. Tho Doinocruttc administra
tion, on the othty hand, contends that
the negotiation of treaties Is wholly
the function of the executive branch
and that the Senate's part Is * u rati
fy them.
With the Senatorial returns still
missing from Michigan, Idaho und
New Mexico, the llgures showed that
the Republicans hud lost one eout —
that of Senator Weeks, of Massa
chusetts —while tho Democrats had
lost six. The senators who will be
retired are Shafroth, of Colorado;
Saulsbury, of Delaware; "Jim limn"
Lewis, of Illinois; Thompson, of Kan
sas; Wtltley, of Missouri, and Hollls,
ijf New Hampshire.

HARRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH
SEDAN FALLS TO 1). S. .
ARMY AFTER HARD FIGHT
[Continued Prom Page Out'.]
Important gains chronicled for the British in the north andj
the French in the center of the advancing Allied lines, whichj
moved forward r,ix miles Wednesday.
Nearly All France Is Liberated
Field Marshal l laig rapidly is clearing the Germans from thatj
portion of France east and southeast of Valenciennes. The Brit
ish have smashed . farther through the enemy lines
defending Monsand Maubeuge and are outflanking the German
positions in Belgium, where the German commanded a.t Ghent is
! evacuating the city. East and southeast of the Mormal forest the
i British also have made great strides toward the Franco-Belgian j
border. ,
The French armies from north of the Disc to southeast of
Mezicres maintain "contact with the retiring enemy all along the l
front. The last natural obstacles west of the Belgian frontier|
have virtually all been cleared and the terrain before the French
is admirable for maneuvering. On the extreme right where the J
French lines join the American, French cavalry arc riding toward |
the Meu§e between Mezicres and Sedan.
Gain Four Miles in Short* Time
In reaching the Meuse at Sedan, General Pershing's men had;
achieved an advance of four nti'les since late Wednesday night. |
Germany's main line Of communication from Metz westward goes 1
through Sedan and it no longer is of use to the enemy. In their
rapid advanct northward to Sedan since last Friday the Ameri
cans have captured 6,000 prisoners, Sedan is seven miles from
the French frontier and the fall of the town, which is mostly at
the east bank of the Meuse, would mean the definite turning of
the Meuse line northward into Belgium and would force the Ger
mans back almost to the Rhine if hostilities should continue. East
of the Meuse the Americans press forward toward Montmedv.
German Armies in Danger
Germany's troops west of the Meuse, because of the great
progress of the French and Americans, must now retreat, if they
can, through Belgium. The task of moving this large force of
soldiers through the narrow Liege gap is a formidable one.
Internal conditions in Germany apparently arc far from satis
factory. In addition to the outbreak in Kiel, the German naval
base, which is reported to have placed the German navy and a
large part of Schleswig in the hands ,of the revolutionists, out
breaks are reported.in Hamburg. The chancellor also has issued
an .appeal to the people to maintain calm \yhile the armistice
j negotiations are in progress.
Germany's hold on the Aisne, from Kethel eastward to above
I Youziers, was broken yesterday. I' tench troops have thrown
bridges across the rivet and are in close pursuit ot the loe, who is
abandoning vast quantities of munitions and material of war as
he flees toward the ever-narrowing gap that leads through Bel
gium to comparative safety.
Vervins Falls; Huns Get Out of Rethel
Vervins has been captured. Kethel has been evacuated by
j the Germans, while the French are rapidly approaching the vital
| railroad center of Hirzon from the west. British forces are mov
j ing up toward Maubeuge from the southwest and the Ameiicans,
in the Meuse sector, are within foui miles oi Sedan.
Entente troops have crossed the Austro-Hungarian lines at
several points to take the places of the troops of the dual mon
j arehy so that the latter can be transported to their homes in
groups. This is the lirst actual step toward carrying out the
terms of the armistice between the Allies and Austria.
Germany and Russia Near Break
A critical situation has arisen between Germany and Russia.
Diplomatic representatives of both countries have been recalled.
German Socialists are demanding the abdication of Emperor
William. The financial situation of the German empire is said by
experts to be desperate and that the breaking point is near.
Ghent has no.t yet fallen, but the place is closely invested by
the Allies and news of its capture may be expected soon.

marchers made up the -line.
Colonel Covert Marshal
Colonel Charles 10. Covert, a life-)
long friend of Senator Beidlemun,;
was chosen as chief marshal of the'
parade and It was a proud occasion i
for the colonel who one day hepes'
to lead a parade welcoming Mr j
Beidlemnn home as Governor of the j
state. Many of the marchers car-!
ried flags and banners. One bore ■
the inscription "For Governor in)

where Mr. Beidlemun had piled up i
great majori'les the day before und I
where he was greeted by cheering i
crowds, and wound up in the south-i
west corner of Market square, where)
an infoi uiu' reception was held with '
a. big Crowd in attendance.
Welcomed Home
Mr. Beidlemun rode in former'
County Tleasurer Artnur H. Bailey's|
cur, and with hlni were Mr. I'atter-1
son, Mr. Staekpolo and former j
County Chairman Frank A. Smith.)
Mr. Stackpoie introduced Senator)
Beidlemun. He said that friends
of the Lieutqnunt-Govvrnor-elect:
had met upon an occasion when I
politics really was adjourned, to ex- i
rend greetings to a neighbor who i
had been signally honored by the;
citizens of the state with the gift of 1
a high office by such a tremendous
majority us had never previously
been given a citizen of Harrisburg. j
Mr. Stackpoie spoke of the gruti-1
Mention Mr. Beidltman must feci in,
his rise from humble boyhood to j
his present*hlgh position in the state;
and ho-referred to the fact that he,
had curried ulmost every district lnj
i liis home city and county both at
j tlie primaries and the general elec
' lions. He said the people doubtless
I would receive at his hand the high
i service they have u right to expect
{ as a result of the confidence they
; have reposed in him.
I Mr. Stackpoie also paid a com-
I pliment to the leadership of W.
j Harry Baker, secretary of the state
i committee and personal friend of
j the Senator, who as field general for
' him had done great work in the
| campaign.
j Mr. Beldleman was greeted by
! cheers and applause when tie arose io
! respond, and lie smiled broadly as he ;
! beheld in tlie crowd near his car his
| wife, his father and other members of
j his family. He expressed his liappi
; ness in the results of his election and
; in the warm welcome his friends had
] given him. lie was, of course, partl
- cularly well witli his fine
' showing at home. ,He said indications
j pointed to the election of Senator
| Sproul and himself by majorities ap
! proaching- 275,000, and he promised
service commensurate with th vote
lof confidence placed in him. He re
| ferrcd to the great record of Pcni
j sylvania in '.he war and said that in
| his estimation Senator Sproul is Hie
best-qualified man in the state to
guide the Commonwealth through the
, remainder of the conflict and the re
construction period to follow.
Senator Beidleman laid particular
stress upon his service as presiding
olncer of the pardon board and said
that during the four years of his
) membership he would withdraw from
- the trial of criminal cases in the
j courts of the Commonwealth, because
I he wanted to feel himself free and
j unrestrained In the consideration of
; the pleas of prisoners coming before
| that body. He added, "but so long r.s
i I have anything to do with it, the
' pardon bqard will not be made an in

i Rheumatism
A HOME CIRF, GIVEN BY
ONE WHO HAD IT
In the spring of 1893 I was
attacked by Muscular and In
flammatory Rheumatism. I
suffered as only those who
have it know, for over three
years. I tried remedy after
remedy, and doctor after doc
tor, hut such relief as I re
ceived was only temporary.
Finally, 1 found a remedy that
cured me completely, and it
has never returned. I have
.en It to a number who were
terribly afflicted and even bed
ridden with Rheumatism, and
It effected a cure In every case.
1 want every sufferer from
any form of rheumatic trouble
to try this marvelous healing
power. Don't send a cent;
simply mail your name and ad
dress and 1 will send It free to
try. After you have used It
and It has proven Itself to be
that long-looked-for means of
curing your rheumatism, you
may send the price of it, one
dollar, but understand, 1 do
not want your money unless
you are perfectly satisfied to
send It. Isn't that fair? Why
suffer any longer wlien posi
tive relief is thus offered you
free? Don"t delay. Write to
day.
