BRITON LAUDS US. PRESS.
:. S. Amery Declares Country Is
Example for ENGLAND,

LONDON, June 7.--America and her
newspapers were cited as an example
to England by L. S. Amery, former
lord of the admiralty, in speech at a
recent luncheon of the London district
journalists. Mr.. Amery said he was
much struck by the trade statistics
which appeared in American newspa-
pers, compared with anything published
here either about this country or the
British empire.
The prosperity Of America. the speak
er said, had been due to the fact that
the whole Of the people. with it's press
behind them, had thought for two gen.
erations in terms of development and
not in terms of individual trading or
word.

Evening star., 1924-06-08

You can do it easily-with never
failure. And the result will be the
most delicious strawberry jam you
ever tasted-at less cost per glass than
ever before.
A nationally-known jelly maker has
found the way to extract pectin, a
substance found in some fruits in
VARYING amounts which makes the
iuice "jell" or set when boiled with
sugar, and then to refine and concen-
trate it for convenient use in every

home. So wonderful is this product,
called CERTo (SurejelD that in only
three years time over five million
women have adopted its use.
All jam and jelly making with
CERTo is as simple as "two and two
make four" Anyone who will follow
a simple CERTo recipe can now make
any kind of jam and jelly in a few
minutes at minimum expense. No
more long hours over a hot stove to
boil-down your jelly-no more spoiled
patches of fruit and sugar because
your jelly will not "jell." Tears and
disappointments, a common expert
ence at Jelly making time, are now
changed to smiles and enthusiasm.
The new CERTo method eliminates all
the worry and all the failures, takes
less work and gives superior quality.
The illustrations show how easily it
is-just three simple steps. Note that
you boil the fruit and juice only
one minute with CERTo-not the.

used Jelly is therefore made OF the

CHAUTAUQUA A
COMMUNITY AFFAIR

4 We want this to be strictly speak.
ing a community affair. 1t includes
everyone. A special invitation is ex-
tended to those who live outside the
city itself. What an opportunity for
them to enjoy a vacation at almost no
cost to them in money or time.
We need to have clean entertain
ment and the Chautauqua provides it
in large measure. It's numbers will
be an inspiration to us for years to
come. There is such a thing as max
ing a tragedy of life by thinking too
much of only the stern and practical
things. The body and it's needs COM
mand attention enough. The soul may
be standing off in the dark-doing
nothing.
A glance at the names of those who
are to be heard on our Chautauqua
program is all that is needed to con-
vince anyone that we are to have a
rare opportunity brought to our very
door. Every day of the program will
bring us great speakers and music of
a charming variety, that will delight
all music lovers, and lecturers on the
live topics Of the day filled with the
things we want to hear. Buy your
season tickets now.
Everyone in the community will get |
out of the Chautauqua. It's |
FOR every age, every creed, every con-
1itiOn of social life, the most demo-
cratic affair that ever comes to us. 1t

HELP THE OLD FOLKS
A Helping Hand Extended To Many
Old People In Milford.

The inirmities of age are many.
Most old people have bad back.
The kidneys are often weak
Or worn out with years of work.
Backache means days of misery,
Urinary troubles, nights of unrest
Doan's Pills have helped to make life
easier for many.
They are doing so for old and young
Milford people are learning this.
Read the following local endorsement:
E. B. Warren, 124 E. 3nd ST., Milford,
says: II had rheumatic pains in my
back and sometimes in the morning
when got up l couldn't get out of bed 4.
The pains were all through my lower
limbs and my back and my right knee
swelled and felt stiff. The kidney Sc
cretions were highly colored and cloudy.
l tried doctors treatments for a month,
but they did me no good. Finally I used
Doan's Pills and the first box helped
ne. I used Doan's for about two weeks
steadily and was cured. "
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply
Isk for a kidney remedy-get Doan's

AUTOMOBILE BAN FOR
STUDENTS UNJUST
Scholars Need Transport As Well As
Workers, Held.

The recent resolution passed in the
organization meeting Of deans and
student advisers Of Pacific coast col
Ieges and universities, to the effect
that pleasure automobiles should not
be permitted among students Of col
leges and universities because they
detract from the tendency to study,
lessen student democracy and prove
real factors in the problem of disci-
pline, is vigorously combatted by cas-
tern educators.
Admitting that too free a use of au-
tomobiles by students may be classed
with too free indulgence in dances,
athletics, dramatics, and other stu
dent activities, it is contended that
banning the automobile is not the way
to meet such condition. 1t is pointed
out that travel, as such, is education
al; that while too much travel may in
terfere with study, it is a condition
not to be corrected by removing the |!
means of travel, but by rules local to |
the student body so indulging. The au-
5omobile, the good road, and the quick
resulting, make possi-
BILE the attendance of thousands of
students who may live at home who
otherwise would crowd dormitories
ind local habitations until the useful
less of the college or university was
destroyed.
Educators with the larger vision
loint out that all new inventions and
IL means Of the progress of civiliza-
ion bring their own abuses with them
7hich have to be corrected by various
leans, but that the one means which
ever has proved successful is to get
id of the step forward in order to
Intimate the abuses it brings.
