shortly after the first of the year.
Three Jobs Unfilled
This will be the third position
at the jail which will be made va
cant and which It will not be neces
sary to fill. Recently the storekeep
er resigned and one of the under
keepers died. The board found it
unnecessary to fill either of those
Poßtß.
It is estimated that at the end
of the fiscal year about $5,500 can
be returned to the county treasury
from the prison fund this year, that
amount being saved since July 1
when prohibition became effective.
This will make up in a large meas
ure to the county the loss in rev
enue from liquor licenses, and it is
believed that in a year or two the
saving at the prison will be almost
as much as the amounts which had
been received for the licenses.
Only 79 Prisoners
To-day there are seventy-nine
prisoners at the jail, twelve of
them being held for Federal action,
leaving sixty-seven either serving
sentences or awaiting trial at the
January criminal court session.

Here is a home-made syrup which
millions of people have found to be
the most dependable means of break
ing up stubborn coughs. It is cheap
and simple, but very prompt in action.
Under its healing, soothing influence,
chest soreness goes, phlegm loosens,
breathing becomes easier, tickling in
throat stops and you get a good night's
restful sleep. The usual throat and
chest colds are conquered by it in 24
hours or less. Nothing better for bron
chitis, hoarseness, croup, throat tickle,
bronchial asthma or winter coughs.
To make this splendid eough syrup,
pour 2y s ounces of Pinex into a pint
bottle and fill tlte bottle with plain
granulated sugar syrup and shake
thoroughly. If you prefer, use clarified
molasses, honey", or corn syrup, instead
of sugar syrup. Either way, you get
a full pint—a family supply—of much
better cough syrup than you could buy
ready-made for three times the money.
Keeps perfectly and children love its
pleasant taste.

trated compound of genuine Norway
