j '’ So Easy I No Cooking. Quick Relief.
Even if you’re not Interested in-
saving- good money, you surely want a
really effective relief for coughs due to
colds. So trymixingit yourself, in your

, It’s so easy to mix. a child could do
* a few moments; until dissolved. No
cooking is needed. Or use corn syrup
or liquid honey, instead of sugar syrup.
Put 2% ounces of Pinex (obtained
from, any druggist) into a pint hottie.
Then fill up with your syrup. This
makes a pint—about four times as
much for your money. It tastes good
—children really like it. It lasts a
family a long time, and- never spoils.
But what you’ll like most is the way
it takes right hold of a cough. It
loosens the phlegm, soothes irritation,
and helps clear the air passages. Eases
soreness, and let’s yon sleep. You’ll
say you’ve never seen its superior.
Pinex is a special compound of
proven ingredients, in concentrated
form,well known for its quick action
on throat and bronchial irritations.
Try it, and if you’re not really de-
lighted, your money will bo refunded.

‘Co on Sunday picnics with lilopsy**...
T T PUSES of glass are realities
11 today and, if you want to give
any house a modern air, try to
make the windows seem impor-
tant. One way is to frame them in
a group by covering the wall and
leaving the glass exposed.
As more and more service-
men come home, the number
of distraught wives multiply.
All too often the long-awaited
homecoming is the prelude to
a nightmare. Husbands return
changed almost beyond recog-
nition. They are irritable,
restless, petulant, suspicious or
else cold and dull.
Phoebe writes that her Sam
is back, but so different! He
got his old job agair, but
doesn't like it. At night he sits
glumly reading the paper. His
little daughter doesn't interest
him. There seems to be noth-
ing that he cares about deeply.
All this is very painful to
Phoebe. She. had looked for-
ward for three years to the
time when Sam would be back
with her, and they could pick
up their former happy way of
life. Now it all seems blasted.
There seems nothing ahead
but long, dull years of trying
to make the best of it. To a
pretty girl of 27, still young
enough to en joy dancing and
parties, it looks quite drab.
Miss Norris replies that this
sad time will pass, and that
gradually Sam will recover
much of his old personality.
The dreadful experience of
war must ’ be forgotten, and
that takes time. There are
brighter days ahead for wives
who patiently and loyally en-
dure this mental convalescence
of their war-tveary husbands.

"Even in peace times many
is a very serious r"J
wives dancing.''
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
'* T T’S ONE thing to be a war
I widow, and be bored and
lonely for three years,”
writes Phoebe Cutter from
Minneapolis, “but it’s another
thing to have your man come
home, dissatisfied with every-
thing, discouraged about
everything, unwilling to make
the slightest effort to rebuild
the happiness we once had.
* ♦ ♦
“Sam and I were married five
years ago,’’ the letter goes on. “I
am not prettier than the average
run of girls, but I am pretty, 27
now. and still loving to meet my
friends, to plan good times, and to
dance. It seems to me hard to think
that all that is out of my life for-
ever. I’m a good manager and
housekeeper, and despite the fact
that we have a daughter almost
four, did part-time work during the
war, and kept our financial head
above water.
“Sam has his old job back, but
he is dissatisfied with it. His old
boss is dead, and a man Sam
trained is boss, and making the
most of it. When .1 ask him to break
away he says he feels too old and
tired to try for a change. He is 34,
but seems much older than that. He
talks of approaching inflation1* and
depression, unemployment and hard
times; he thinks I have spoiled
Mopsy, and that she doesn't like
him. Of course, if he will make no
effort to win her affection, so small
a girl is not likely to give it.
‘Nothing Matters.’
“During the war my mother lived
with me. She is a trained nurse, and
is now taking cases again. When he
first returned she suggested that she
leave us, but Sam protested, saying
wearily to me later that it didn’t
matter how many persons lived with
us That is his general position;
nothing matters. He drags quietly
through days of uncongenial work,
comes home to sit silenllv ?n the
sitting-room until I say dinner is
ready, doesn’t read the papers much
or listen to the radio. We have been
once together to movies since he
got home; then it was a war film,
through which he trembled ard mut-
tered all the time. My heart is sick
with pity for him, but I don’t know
what to do I consulted a psychia-
trist. telling him I thought Sam was
a borderline case He only laughed
and said it would be years before
they got through the genuine cases
and came to the possible ones.
“And meanwhile men admire me,
and want to take me places for din-
* ner and dancing.’’'the letter, con-
cludes. “and the best years of my
I life are going by. and I don't see
I anything ahead except housework.
I baby care, and the endless efforts
to cheer Sam What to do?’’

hear and forget. It carries with it
the giving of attention to what is
heard with the purpose of doing
something about it.
God’s law, his statutes and judg-
ments are for the good of his peo-
ple. They are not designed to limit
their freedom, but to provide the
channels through which they shall
be most free to live and to accom-
plish that which is good and noble
and useful.
Two things were assured to Israel
if they hearkened to the law of God.
They would first of all “live.” This
does not mean only that they should
escape death, but that they might
enter into the fullness of life.
“The Bible teaches that we are
free to choose between a high
grade of life or a low grade, be-
tween a life which involves fellow-
ship with God or a daily existence
which means nothing more than the
enjoyment of animal comforts and
following our own willful ways”
(Earl L. Douglass).
The second result of obeying
God’s law would be their going into
and possessing the land which God
gave them. There is victory and
attainment, as well as blessed fel-
lowship for the one who obeys God.
That is true today as it was in the
time of Moses.
