 So The l!lowgee served everyone with ice cream sodas and boxes of cracker jack and each box of crack CT jack had lovely prize in it.
 Raggedy Ann found a lovely dia- mond ring in her poX of cracker jack.
 Of course. it wasn't a real for sure diamond! It was only a ring you sometimes get on a stick of candy for penny, but it sparkled in the sunshine
 Raggedy Ann gave the diamond ring to the Pirate Captain because Raggedy Ann did not have fingers on her rag hands. All she and Rag Andy had were thumbs.
 The Pirate Captain was so pleased with this, he gave Raggedy the prize he found in his box of cracker jack This was little tin whistle. The little tin whistle wasn't a fine whistle. but it made a nice loud shriek when any one blew in it.
 Raggedy Andy found a little tiny book with a fairy story in 1t and he gave it to the Blowgee. for the Blowgee had never read a fairy story. Of course, the Blowgee could not read this one either because Blowgees do not know how to read,

MORE THAN EIGHT MILLION PACKAGES OF BLACK AND WHITE
 ARE SOLD YEARLY
Sale Each Year Growing by Leaps and Bounds, Is of Tremendous lmpor-
 tance to Women

Although placed on sale only few years ago, such complexion necessities as Black and White Cleansing and Perox- idle Cream. we'll as many others, are now outselling most of the older and bet ter known articles. and for no other reason than their unusual merit, uniform Qual ity and popular low prices.
 Many druggists and dealers who sell toilet articles say that they have never seen the equal of Black and White Beauty Creations for solving the skin and com plexion problem for old well as young women who had never before been able to find the right method of caring for their skin.
 few years ago Black and White Beauty creations were unknown. Today they are selling at the rate of more than twenty thousand packages day in every one of the 365 days of the year, or . total of more than eight million packages year.
 From the biggest stores in the large cities. to the smallest oss-roads country store miles away from even railroad, Black and White beauty creations are being sold in eyer-increasing quantities. with the result that the manufacturers have been forced to move into larger quarters three different times during the last four years. Even the present plants, which occupy a total floor space of 105, 900 square feet. are taxed to full capacity in the effort to keep up with orders re- ceived every day from all parts of the country.
