NEW SUGAR SOURCE
Nippa Palm Is Found To Be Capable
 of Producing Quantities

London. Jan. S.--The Nippa palm, which grows over extensive areas in British North Borneo can be used as
 source of sugar and alcohol accord : ing to report submitted by experts after an extensive investigation. They
 estimate that 2.S0O pounds of sugar and 200 gallons of alcohol can be ob-
 tained from an acre of swamp land planted with the palm.
 The palm grows commonly in the estuaries of rivers throughout the eastern tropics and is exploited par ticularly in the Philippine islands. The sugary juice is obtained by re- moving the Towering shoot and by repeatedly cutting the end of the stalk the flow can be maintained for two or three months each stalk yielding from nine to ten gallons. Sugar can be extracted to the extent of about 15 per cent.

Don't Let That Cold Turn Into "Flu"
Rub on Good Old Musteyole

That cold may turn into "Flu." " Grippe or, even worse, Pneumonia, unless you take care of 1t at once.
 Rub good old Musterole on the con- gested parts and see how quickly it brings relief.
 Colds are merely congestion. Mus terole, made from pure oil of mustard, camphor, menthol and other simple ingredients, is counter-irritant which stimulates circulation and helps break up the cold.
 As effective as the messy old mustard plaster, it does the work without the blister.
 Just rub it on with your finger-tips. You will feel a warm jingle as 1t enters the pores, then cooling sensation that brings welcome relief.

candy contained poison, the police are
puzzled.
