HUMOR OF THE HOUR
Getting Her Moneys Worth.


II would like a pair of heel plates
put on these shoes, please, and I'll take
some new Iaces, too" remarked a
young woman recently, walking into
a downtown shoe shop. After the heel
plates had been attached and the old
strings replaced by new ones she walk
ed to the rear of the store, climbed up
into the big chair that was standing in
one corner and had her boots cleaned
and polished by the negro attendant
until they shone like patent leather
Then, with a thank you to the clerk
she walked out, explaining volubly to
her companion:
These are the greatest people to
buy shoes from in the city. They keep
your shoes shined free, and it isn't Il
little, thin commuters shine, with no
varnish around the edge of the soles
but a good one that makes the boots
absolutely impervious to water, so you
don't have to buy rubbers, and thus
you save half a dollar. Besides, they
keep you in laces, and l do wear out
shoe strings so fast that it is quite n
saving for me in the course of the year.
Then when l buy pair of dress shoes
L always have the buttons put on with
patent fasteners-free of charge, you
understand-and so / feel that / get my
moneys worth every time l make a
purchase in the store" - New York

WHY MOTHERS
WORRY

Did you ever hear a mother
worry over a plump child ?
There is no better bank of
health for a child to draw
from than a good supply of
healthy flesh.
SCOTS Emulsion not only
gives child weight and
plumpness, but it feeds the
brain, bones and nerves with
strength and active power.
Fewer mothers would
worry if they knew more
about SCOTS Emulsion.

If hans Thordsen is at the bottom
of the Mississippi river. as many be-
lieve, then the police of Davenport
are mistaken. They believe that the
boy, the last sign of whom was seen
when his hat and coat were found on
launch on the river a week ago Sun
day, is alive and well. Moreover there
is evidence that would seem to sub
stantiate this view of the case. In
the first place the continued dragging
of the river by Officer Sanford and his
assistants resulted in the finding of
not single clue. But more impor
tant than all this. is the statement
made by travelling man named Will
son, who telephoned to the police
station that he had sen the Thordsen
boy at Iowa City. He stated that
he knew the young man when in Dav-

taken. Thordsen was seated in a ho-
