March SO.— Police Judge Smith was informed this morning that Superior Judge Brown had sustained his judgment in the case of Abe Sha piro, a second hand dealer whom Smith sentenced to pay a fine of $250 and go to jail for 60 days for buying' stolen goods from minors. Shapiro was re leased on $1,000 ball pending his ap peal. He probably will be sent to the city jail to begin his sentence tomor row morning. The heavy penalty was meted out to Shapiro after testimony had been ad duced to show that ..he acted as a "fence" for juvenile thieves on sev eral occasions. Both he and his broth er, Ben Shapiro, had been arrested for similar offenses before. Abe Shapiro was finally found guilty, and Judge Smith took the defendant's reputation into consideration in imposing sen- - tence. The police allege that several boys barely in their teens have been in duced to steal brass and iron castings and other articles to sell to Shapiro. and have been arrested for their acts.

'.^ How to Make Better Cough Syrup Than You Can Buy A full pint of ,. cough syrup — enough to last a family a lons time — can be made by the recipe given below in five minutes, lor only 54 cents. Simple as it is. there, is nothing better at any price. It usually stops a Ueep seated ' couch in twenty-four hours, and is a splendid house- hold remedy for whoopin? couj?h. colds, hoarseness, bronchitis, etc. Take a pint of granulated sugar, add \^ pint warm water and stir about 2 minutes. Put 2% oz. Pinex in a pint bottle and till up with syrup. .Take a tea- spoonful every one. two or three hours. It keeps perfectly and the taste is pleasing. . The chemical elements of pine, which are very healing to mem- branes, are obtained in high pro- portion in Pinex. the most valu- able concentrated compound of Norway White Pine Extract. None of the weaker pine prepa- rations will work with this recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or can easily get it for you. Strained honey can bo used in- stead of the syrup and makes a very fine honey and pine tar cough syrup. t&^si LOW <^^^^^ ROUND-TRIP EASTERN CITIES during the summer months, with stop-over privileges, via the CANADIAN PACIFIC 'RAILWAY Six Hundred Miles of Unsurpassed Mountaia Scenery through tbe Canadian Rockies Call or write for rates and information i ff r .«v — \u25a0 E.
