Sam at a party. The popular girl is out
on the porch with a new man and he
looks tired of holding up the side of the
piano. The other girl talks about some-
denly it's IL o'clock.
Sometimes Sam goes away on busi.
ness trip and like prophet finds honor
away from his own home town. In either
case Sam goes to the mirror when he
gets TO his room and finds out that he's
not such a bad fellow after all.

Protein for Children

DO you recommend for normal. active Shildren

Infants and children require one calory

for a child weighing fifty pounds. This

II no. one better asks you in the next
three years, come to your senses. Be kind
and send him away. And IL on the eve
of the sending you find that life isn't
going to be the same without Sam, let
him stay-and get acquainted with him.
If another girl can find something inter-
esting in him so can you. Learn to love
him before the other girl does, always re-
membering that popularity doesn't last
forever and that life in the main isn't
made of soul-stirring repartee and tenor

especially one who fights in the

doing for the past four years.
He has been everlastingly on the job,
fighting to make New York cleaner,
happier and a better place for us to
live IN.
Mitchell has never pussy-footed. He
hits from the shoulder. He has fought
more fights for our safety, comfort
and honor than any other mayor we
ever had.
Once started, Mitchell never quits.

decent Italians with blackmail and dynamite.
