(When you do, you will understand why
.thousands of, families the world over
feel that they could hardly keep house
without It. It's simple and cheap, but
the way It takes hold of a cough will
. nulckly earn It a permanent place in
..your home.
Into a pint bottle pour 2 ounces of
Pinex f then add plain granulated sugar
syrup to fill up the pint. Or, If desired,
use clarified molasses, hopey or corn
syrup Instead of sugar syrup. Either
way .It tastes good, never spoils and
gives you a f ulfc. pint of better cough
remedy than you could buy ready-made
-for three times its cost A
It la really wonderful how quickly
. this home-made remedy conquers' a
cough usually In 24 hours or less. It
' seems to penetrate through every air
passage, loosens a dry, hoarse, or tight
. cough, lifts the phlegm, heals the mem
branes and gives almost immediate relief.
Splendid for throat tickle, hoarseness,
croup, .bronchitis and bronchial asthma.

ARMORY GUARD NOTES
The quarterly muster held at the
Armory Tuesday . night for . the pro
visional companies of the new Na
tional Guard of Oregon was very en
couraging to oficers and men. Nina
companies turned out of which four
had over 80 members answering to
roll call. Company II led the two pro
visional battalions with 85 men in
line. Companies E, D, F, C, B. and
As of the Infantry and Companies A
and B of the engineers made a splendid
showing. At a meeting of the officers
held after dismissal. Adjutant Gen
eral Beebe and , staff warmly con
gratulated the commanders for their
successful effort-. Major J. Francis
Drake was mustering officer. -4
Two companies of Infantry are ready
to be mustered - into - the National
Guard of Oregon whenever Major Gen
eral "Flu" withdraws from occupancy
of the city.
' - . - v:
The provisional companies of i the
new Third Oregon - (National Guard of
Oregon) have united in Portland to
maintain ' the recruiting officies dur
ing business hours in the Majestic
building on Washington street opposite
the Morgan building, which up to No
vember It was occupied by the United
States Marines for that purpose. All
men between IS and 45 are cordially
invited to make inquiries about en
listment.
Officers of the Third Oregon (pro
visional) have taken a thousand tick'
eta for the grand ball to be given In
The Auditorium January 15, under the
auspices of the United Auxiliary Re
ception committee for the benefit of
the boys who come home from serv
ing the flag anywhere. Lieutenant Al
bert Breedlove, who represented the
regiment at the conference of the com
mittee in charge, has turned over 50
tickets to each company with orders
not to turn any back.
On account of the "flu" the war de
partment at Washington has extended
the time for the formation of .the
new Third Oregon, from January 15
to March 1. The authorities at Wash
ington have - assured General Beebe,
adjutant general of Oregon, that arms
and equipment will be rapidly supplied
as soon as the United States army

first battalion of the new Third Ore
gon, which was expecting to be sworn
in early this coming week.
The two companies, A and B, en
gineers, provisional National Guard of
Oregon, are considering combining to
make one big company. It Is found
more difficult to secure officers thaji

pany of Infantry Is ready to be .ac
cepted at Independence and another at

Reconstruction
Plans Are
Detailed
Miss McMillan Tells Women
What Work Offers to Returned
Wounded Soldiers.
By Vella Winner
THE Importance of this, the recon-dtj-iiotlnn
rterlod after the Worlds
greatest war, and what it offers to the
returned soldiers, was brought out In
a practical and vivid way by Miss Mary
McMillan, head of the Reed college re
construction clinic In her address be
fore the Portland Woman's Research
club ' at Its monthly luncheon held In
the crystal room of the Hotel Benson,
with covers for 106. By means of the
various branches of reconstruction work,
physio-therapy, occupational therapy,
vocational and educational therapy,' the
wounded and maimed-men are helped
to a more speedy recovery by means of
mind-diversion and the bringing Into use
of the senses and parts of the body
that have through Injury become par
tially or wholly useless, she said. Many
of these lines of work, she pointed out,
open up avenues that lead to Indus
trial and agricultural training; thus
making the men useful and happy ctti
rens. In less than' a year 300 women
have equipped themselves for this Im
portant phase of war work, she said.
Captain Jack Hamilton, a Britisher
who has been In the army since he was
19, having served In the Boer, Indian
and European wars, told . Interesting
tales ot some of those earlier conflicts.
touched on a few of the horrors of the
late war and closed with the romantic
story of his courtship and subsequent
marriage to the little French girl whom
he rescued from the Huns, and who Is
now In Portland with him.
Judge John H. Stevenson gave a hearty
New Year's greeting, touching upon the
great importance of the peace confer
ence. The Werrenr sisters" quartet gave
two beautiful selections to open the
luncheon, and 'for closing a verse of
"The Star-Spangled Banner" was sung.
Mrs. Marmaduke Wyvllle presided.

Just as the sun goes down."
And just before the sun went behind
the pine trees of the Great Forest.
Father Beaver took Peter Rabbit and
Ned Chipmunk to see his new roof gar

And Peter Rabbit, when he saw the'
new roof garden on the top of each
beaver's .house, opened his eyes so wide
that Father . Beaver feared Peter's eyes
would pop ort of his head ; and Ned
Chipmunk was so excited, and he chat

gone crazy. And no wonder Peter Rab

themselves with Joy and excitement. For
each beaver had allowed this wonderful
thing to happen. They had Invited the
robins to, build their nests on top of
their houses. And the beavers' houses
had those lovely roof gardens, and the
nests were filled with little robins. And
the Father and Mother Robin and their
children, all were so safe and happy, liv

that in pure gratitude, they gave a splen

ears kept bobbing up and down, as he
listened to that sweet musre. And Ned
Chipmunk listened spell-bound to the'
lovely songs of the pretty red-vested mu

their hands eo loud that the robins had
to repeat many of their selections.
When Peter Rabbit and Ned Chip

Motion Picture War
Service Fund to Be
Devoted a Home
The Motion Picture War Service, asso
ciation. In its old form, Is now a thing
of the past, and most of the monies
held, outside of certain disbursements
and expenses, ill be returned to the
donors. In its place has arisen a mo
tion picture fund, not yet named. This
fund will take care of old anc indigent
photoplayers and perform other charit
able and necessary functions.
One ot the objects of the War Serv
ice association was to build and dedicate
a Urge hospital for wounded and sick 1
soldiers to the government, but certain
difficulties with the government made j
this Impossible. It is quite possible that
the new fund will consider the erection i
of a Motion Picture home in or near I
Los Angeles.
At a meeting held to disband the
association and create a new fund, Frank
E. Woods, supervising director of the
Vine Street Famous-Lasky studios, was
asked by the members present to act an
provisional president and organizer of
the new fund, his name being put for
ward by David W. Griffith and unani
mously agreed to by all those present
Mr. Woods agreed on the condition that
Miss Mary Pickford act as "honorary
president," and Miss Mary said sha
would.
Mr. Woods suggested that those pres
ent donate to the new fund, and David
W. Griffith. Mary Pickrord, William S.
Hart, Dustin Farnum, Mack Sennett and
Douglas Fairbanks each subscribed' $500
on the spot. '
