PLANNED FOR INALGJRAL
Platform Will Be In Same Position aa
That for the Tener Ceremonies—
Little Actual Work Will Be Left
for Committee of Legislature To-day
Preliminary preparations for the
inauguration of Martin G. Brumbaugh
as Governor on January 21 are being
looked after by those interested on
Capitol Hill, and when the Inaugural
Committee is appointed by the Senate
and House on January 5 it is likely
that the committee will have little to
do outsido of sending out invitations
to distinguished persons to be present,
arranging the pa»9de and the order of
exercises, and looking after the com
fort of the incoming Governor. --
Superintendent Rambo to-day got
out his plan of the platform on which
the inaugural exercises will talce place.
It is the same plan on which the Tener
inaugural platform was constructed.
The platform will be at the entrance to
the capitol, extending out over the
plaza, and will have seats for the new
officials, state officials, members and of
ficers of the Senate and House and the
ladies of the official party. Press seats
will be provided as heretofore at the
front on either sjde of the stand whore
the oath of office is administered and
tho inaugural exercises take place.
When the Legislature meets on Jan
uary 5 the Senate and House, aifter or
ganizing, will pass a resolution provid
! ing for the creation of an inaugural
committee. It is always customary to
put the I>auphin Senator,-—in this case
Senator Beidleman,—on the committee
and include the members of the House
from Dauphin. One of the first duties
of the House will be to pass first a
bill providing for the payment of the
inaugural expenses. The Legislature of
1911 appropriat&d $15,000 to pay the
expenses of the inauguration.
In the Senate, directly after the
inauguration of Governor Brumbaugh,
the oath of office wil be administered
to Lieutenant Governor Frank B. Mc-
Clain, and then both legislative bodies
will be ready for the work of the ses
sion.
It is thought that both the civic and
military parade will be the finest inau
gural parade ever seen here. The de
tails will be worked out by the inau
gural committee.

the best remedy you have ever used,
take it back to George A. Oorgas and
he will return your money, cheerfully

j After seeing the grateful relief it lias
afforded in hundreds of cases, which
had been considered incurable, and
which had been given up in despair, I
know what it will do. I am so sure that
it will do the same with others that I
am not afraid to guarantee it will re
lieve instantaneously. The druggists
handling Asthmador will return your
money if you say so. You are to bo

j guarantee, absolutely no risk is run in

ing Letter's attempt to corner the

suit to recover.
Leiter's sole defense was that the
late Frank 11. Peavey and the late C.
A. Pillsbury, both of Minneapolis, rep
resenting the elevator companies, ha' 1
agreed with him to withhold their
wheat from the market. Their failure
to keep this adleged agreement prevent
ed Leiter from effecting the corner
and caused him a loss of about $12,-
000,000, according to the testimony.'
Federal Judge Humiphrey in iustruc
tiag the jury, said:
"If you Hud from the evidence that
there was an illegal conspiracy to ob
tain control of the wheat market, then
the notes are void."
Loiter testified he had paid all other
indebtedness following the wheht deal
in 189 S. His faitiher, Levi Z. Leiter,
sold Chicago real estate valued at
$10,000,000 to $15,000,000 after the
wheat failure, in order to keep the
son's record clear, he testified. Leiter
said he had held the Miuneaipolis men

A cough is really one of our best
friends. It warns us that there is in
flammation or obstruction in a danger
ous place. 'lherefore, when you get a
bad cough don t proceed to dose yourself
with a lot of drugs that merely "stop"
the cough temporarily by deadening the
throat nerves. Treat the cause—heiU the
inflamed membranes. Here is a home
made remedy that gets right at the cause
and will make an obstinate cough vanish
more quickly than you ever thought pos
sible.
" P K t , ounces of Pinex (50 cents
worth) in a pint bottle and fill the bottle
with plain granulated sugar syrup. This
gives vou a full pint of the most pleasant
and effective cough remedy you ever used,
at a cost of only 54 cents. No bother to
prepare. Full directions with Pinex.
It heals the inflamed membranes so
Eentlv and promptly that you wonder
ow it does it. Also loosens a dry, hoarse
or tight cough and stops the formation of
phlegm in the throat and bronchial tubes,
thus ending the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
pound of Norway pine extract, rich in
guaiacol, and is famous the world over
tor its healing effect on the membranes.
, To avoid disappointment, ask your
nrutrpist for "2'A ounces of Pinex," and 1 *
