Interest In ! Child Is Greatest
 Comfort

H ave you ever been down in depths II of despair--when life seemed all huddled up in corner--when everything seemd full of dark, black clouds and the silver lining seemed millions of miles sway?
 Have you ever, in your great trouble tried to go ont and be gay with friends and found that the, sayety only made you feel worse and after you left it, brought you more to a realization of your worries? 2sssss
 Have you tried everything to for get your misery that you could think about, and itAstared you in the face just the same? .1ls
 Doubtless there is scarcely human being who has not had such a har- rowing experience. And when all else fails there is one way that a per son can get away from difficulties and get 2 giimmerr of comfort and hope.
 It is a simple : thing, a remedy that thousands know, but perhaps few have expressed.a It is to get in- terested in little child. Only re- gently such case has come to my attention. A woman, weary and worried with great trial went to visit friend who had a little boy and the woman told. me the story like this:
 There was something about the innocence and beauty of that child that changed my feelings altogether, I be- came interested in the little one romped and played with him. His laughter and glee sort of became part of me. And when hugged him close and imbibed the joy of him, somehow my own sorrows fell off and I began to realize there was something worth while in the world.
 And I believe perhaps there is a little psychology about it. she con tinued. The child, as a child, recog- nizes no troubles. None of them seem insurmountable to him. When he falls and hurts himself his tears are easily dried and smile soon replaces his hurt. You. become aborbed in the child, and all his little ills and thrills, and great sense of comfort that the world is not 50 bad after all does get hold on one. l
 And before you realize it your great ache has been minimized and the hope comes that things must be better. It is the sunshine in the child that in spires this spirit" f.
 So it is. Look at the thousands of families that have very little in life but the joy of children for whom they carry on and bear any burden.
 And why? There is nothing so soothing as the tender kiss of child, the clinging fingers around yours, the

replied, But there is no nope, guess I shall never be able to talk at all !"
 Maybe we can soon teach you to talk, little Rags!' Raggedy Ann laughed. zga@
 That would be good fun 1" the little Rag puppy dog replied.
 Then seeing that the Raggedys had grown thoughtful he asked, 'Why were you sitting upon this hard, hard stone looking 90 sadF'
 Alas" Raggedy Ann replied, "some mean person has taken the two magical books and we cannot follow them any farther than the soft path !"
 "Ahar' Rags, the puppy dog, said, "Then I can help you, for can smell their footprints even though cannot see them! Just you follow me, Rag gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy, and I'll bet nickel I can show you where the mean person lives!"
 And, the little rag dog put his nose to the ground and then went running away through the woods with the Rag gedys following close upon his heels.

hHgs! haggedy Ann baid.
 The little puppy dog was very pleas ed at this and he hopped about upon his little fat hind legs and parked in soft manner.
 T believe he is made of ragsr' Rag gedy Andy said when he was able to catch the little puppy dog. See! Feel for yourself, Raggedy Ann!" he said as he held the funny little dog to Raggedy Ann.
 Why! Indee! He is!' Raggedy Ann laughed. You can see the seams in his head and body where he has been sewed together!'' a8
 Someone must have made him with magici" Raggedy Andy said. "For if

he wasn't magic dog, he would not be able to run around as he does!"
 "Then if he is a real for sure magic dog, he will be able to talk, Raggedy Andy r Raggedy Ann said.
 Gan you talk, little Rags?" Raggedy Andy asked the puppy dog.
 ''Oh, mol" the little rag dog replied, "You see, the old Magician made me with his magic book, but he forget to tell me that could talk, 50 I will just have to go all through life barking just like ordinary meat puppy dogs!"
 Ragsedy Ann and Raggedy Andy laughed as hard as they could when the puppy dog said this, for of course he could talk just as well as either of the two Raggedys.
 "Well! !" Raggedy Ann said after she stopped laughing, Tt is too bad that you cannot talk, Rags, for we could have lots more fun with you if you could answer us when we talk to you"
 i''It would be lots more fun" Rags

unrestrained laughter and the pleasure that is. developed from trifles.
 Children have done more to keep par
 All of which points to the fact that there is something in the nature of a small human being that gives hope and cheer and creates the comfort that many one crayes. When you are in great distress or sorrow, go to some youngster that you love and you will realize you have entered new world, perhaps one that will take you out of your sordid self and soften your downcast moments.

 You see,s Raggedy Ann and Raggedy An dy had made a lot of wonderful stores with the two magic books, then, when they wish ed to get the two magic books and hide them, they discovered that someone had talk en the two magic books. The Raggedys could easily follow the footprints of the mean person as long as the person walked in the soft path, but when the path became hard, he Raggedys could fol- low no further.
 So they sat upon the red stone wonder ing who the mean person could have been. It was while they were sitting here that the little puppy dog came up to them and the Raggedys de- cided to adopt the nice little puppy dog for-fheir very own.

My Neighbor Says:

To clean painted kitchen walls dip a damp cloth in dry baking soda, wipe the walls, then go over again with another damp cloth.
 The water in which rice has been boiled is splendid for rinsing muslin blouses and lace curtains after they have been washed It makes an ex- cellent substitute for starch and gives these delicate fabrics just enough firmness without imparting any of that stiff, stuck-together look that the inexpert starcher so often pro duces.
 If you should happen to burn or scorch a meat, vegetable cereal or soup, remove at once from the fire and place the burnt vessel in larger one containing cold water. Let stand few moments, uncovered and then re- move all but what is badly scorched to another vessel and finish cooking. The burnt taste will disappear nine times out of ten.
 To brighten gold braid give it thorough brushing, then sprinkle powdered alum all over it and let it stay on for two or three days. Then brush it off.
 You can easily clean white furs bJ mixing together 2 cupsful of flour, cupsful of bran and A cup of fuller't earth. Brush and shake the furd we'll. lay them on table and rub it the mixture with a coarse piece O. flannel, rubbing the fur the wroni way. Shake out all the cleaning powder and go over the furs a seq ond time, using only bran. Shak the bran out and wipe the furs wiu a clean cheesecloth.

you have ever seen, why the Hupmo- bile stands up SO we'll, and why some other cars are source of continual trouble and expense.
 The Hupmobile way of buying a motor Car is the sound, business-ike way. And it Is liberal education in what makes motor car value.
 So, whether you are going to buy a car now, or next year, we advise that you come in soon and study the Hupmobile Parts Display.

The Hupmobile Parts Display takes the mystery out of the motor car. It gives you the facts that count.
 Perhaps you know little, or nothing, of motor car production. When you read on this Parts Display how the Hupmobile Is built, and then read, directly contrasted with it, what the more common construction Is, you will select your next car with greater care, and greater profit to yourself.

ENDORSEMENTS OF DOUGLAS

magnificent production. Your pro-

achievement - George Kleine i,

"My Dear Mr.. Fairbanks-You
have done far more than make a
glorious picture. All the world Of
art, of centuries, has tried to give to
us in poetry, fiction, music-the
spirit of that age of chivalry which
made a Richard, the Lion-Hearted
and Robin Hood possible. Quite
magnificiently, you have brought it
all out of the past for us even more
fully than Tennyson or a Maurice
Hewlett. All very thrillingly superb,

owes you and your collaborators an
immense debt. For the first time,
can say Here's picture must
