Ely's Cream Balm has been tried and
not found wanting in thousands of
homes all over the country. 1t has won
a place in the family medicine closet
among the reliable household remedies,
where it is kept at hand for use in
treating cold in the head just as soon as
some member of the household begins
the preliminary sneezing or snuffing.
1t gives immediate relief and day or
two's treatment will put stop to cold
which might, If not checked, become
chronic and run into q bad case of ca
tarrh.

What Makes Popcorn Pep7

Popcorn pops because every grain
Of corn contains oil. In popcorn there
Is n considerable amount. The oil ex.
pands when heated. growing too big
for the little kernel that contains it.
and so It must pop open. In common
corn there IS a smaller amount Of oil.
and for this reason 1t only cracks
without exploding when heated.
