WEEDS GIRL PICKED FOR HIM
Gypsy Bridegroom Has No Choice in
the Matter of Selecting His
Life Partner.

Although it is the custom among
the gypsies to have the parents of
the prospective bridegroom pur-
chase wife for their son, covetous
wealthy candidates are not always
successful even when bidding larg-
er sums for the maiden's hand.
When the mother of girl among
the gypsies takes liking to a
young man and considers him suit
able for her daughter, nominal
price viii always get the bride-to-
be, even though there are other Of
fers much higher by men not SO
well liked.
Under the traditional customs OF
the gypsies, the younger generation
have no voice in determining their
mates and the matching is matter
for the parents only. Generally,
the mother of a young man, usual
ly around his nineteenth year, picks
ont girl, dickers with her parents
and buys her outright Then they
are married according to gypsy
law, after which the groom's par
ents. in almost every case, start him
in business of some kind to make
a livelihood.

BoscAT HIS sEDFELLow.

Awakened by movement in the
bed he was sleeping in at his hunt
ing lodge near Thornhill, Cal,
George Dugan, Berkeley painter,
felt behind him.
''Is that you, Nary" he called,
forgetting for the instant that he
was not at home. He was answered
by low growl in place of wifely
salutation. Dugan turned over and
struck a match. To his surprise,
he came face to face with a bob cat
that had taken advantage of the
warm bed to make itself comfort
able.
Dugan jumped one way. The bob
cat jumped the other. Dugan spent
the rest of the night sitting up with
a shotgun over his lap, but the cat
did not return.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

The Key That Unlocks the Door
to Long Living,

The men of eighty-five and
ninety years OF age are not the
rotund, wefl-fed, but thin, spare
men, who live on slender diet.
Be as careful as he will, how
ever, a man past middle age will
occasionally eat too much or of
some article of food not suited to
his constitution, causing indiges-
ton or constipation and will need
a does of Chamberlain s Tablets
to move his bowels and invigor-
ate his stomach. When this is
done, there is no reason why the
average man should not live to
a ripe old age.

USE NJ ICE II
 MAKE ICE CREAM
McWhorter's Plant Here Is Modern One: Successful
 Candy Makers Also

That one of the most modern and up-to-date ice cream and candy Tac- tories in the state is located in Bis bee. and produces more ice cream than any other single factory in the state, except one in Phoenix, are racts that are I~obably not generally known among residents of the War ren district This is the McWhorters' ice cream and candy factory.
 In the manufacture Of ice cream the plant is using the most recauJ devel- opment in manufacturing machinery. The fleeziHS maoAilse - saDao;e oi turning cut a gallon of cream q mn ute. A feature Of the plant is Q complete refrieerating system, doing away entirely with the use of ice in the manufacture of ice cream. Ice is used only for the purpose Of packing the cream before delivering to retailers This modern machinery makes possible the manufacture of not only a finer. but a much more sanitary product than can be turned out with the old type of freezer used by most smaller rlants.
 Kept In Perfect Condition
 Immediately after the cream has been mixed and run through the freezing machine it is packed in con. tainers and placed in the refrigera- ting room where it waits delivery. This room is always many degrees below freezing point. and keeps the cream in perfect condition. It has been demonstrated that ice cream may be packed and kept frozen for a year without deteriorating, and actu- ally will have less bacteria in it than when first packed. The cream manufactured at the McWhorters' plant. however, is seldom kept more than 24 hours. Trade Secrets Handed Down The factory is under the direct su- pervision of l. l.. McWhorter, who oversees every batch of ice cream and candy that is made. This is neces- sary to secure a uniform quality of product. The McWhorter brothers l father was a candy maker before them and handed down to them many trade secrets. which combined with l. B. McWhorter's years of experience. has enabled him to manufacture good tbinas to eat that cannot be excelled anywhere
 Ia-e McN HOTleIS hiahS C'OA eAiiAe that they sell. Their products are shipped all over the county, and to many other points in the state. It | is a fact that they are successful in making certain kinds of candy that are attempted by. only few manufac ! turers in the country. For instance visitors here have purchased their pecan patties, or New Orleans prae- lins, and have sent them back to friends in New Orleans to show them that their own product has been ex celled
