PERFECTLY HARMLESS

CHICAGO-Selling live bees by
mail is the latest milestone Of
American business efficiency. You
can't get stung, as thousands of
farmers who have bought them in
this way will testify. The busy
little workers arrive ready to
plunge into the toll Of making
honey.
"Bees now travel thousands Of
miles from the breeder to the be-
keeper" said r. J. Raney, vice.
president Of Montgomery Ward &
Company, whose house is the only
concern of it's kind that deals in
live bees. "They are usually sent
by express in consignments of
10000 weighing about two pounds.
The bees are shipped in wire
cage and c:rry sufficient provisions
in the form of honey candy to
feed them until they can begin
work on the blossoms in their new
home.
"a queen bee fitted in a separate
compartment accompanies the ship
ment. The cage carrying the queen
and her brood is so contrived that
the bees can be transferred on ar
rival into hive without flying into
the air. Sales Of bees by our COM
pany average around 30.000.O00
annually.

the queen. She is the pivot around

Don't Get Up Nights

John Lumpkins, Dayton, Ohio, says:
"Come to Carrie ST., and will show
you rs pieces of gravel that passed
after taking Lithiated Buchu (KelIer
Formula). Had to get up 15 times at
night for two years. Alright Now"
Initiated Buchu cleanses the bladder
like Epson Salts do the bowels,
thereby relieving irritation, driving
out foreign matter and neutralizing
excessive acids. These are the causes
of unnatural action of the bladder at
night. Lthicated Buchu (Keller For

Paramount's "The Air Mail" Modern
MeIodrama Built Around the v. S.
Government Air Service

On the spot where pony mail rid
ers of old stopped and changed their
mail pouches to fresh ponies, United
States flying mail carriers land to-
day and find fresh machine to car
ry the mail bags on.
This contrast between the old and
the new United States, with only IS
years between, is wildly brought to
mind in the new Paramount picture,
THE Air Mail" a story of the dan
gers and temptations which beset
the intrepid aviators flying from
coast to coast with the mail.
1.-THE Air Mail" which opens today
at the Colonial Theatre. was directed
by Irwin Willat. 1t is an original
screen story by Byron Morgan and
features Warner Baxter, Billie Dove,
Mary Brian and Douglas Fairbanks,
Jr. The story tells of crook who
gets a job as pilot Of a U. S. mail
plane planning to wait for the oppor-
tune moment and make away with a
big haul, only to be regenerated by
the spirit of the service, the love of a
beautiful girl and the friendship of
an orphan boy who idolizes him.
There are two bands Of crooks in
the picture who prey on the airmen.
They won't believe that Baxter,
play Russ Kane, has really decided
to go straight but believe he is dou-
bic crossing them for the girl and
set out to get" him.-Adv.

WINTHROP
Final Performance
OfLadies Ministries

The final performance of the Ia
dies minstrel was given FRIDAY eve
ming before a full house and the
success of Thursday evening was
repeated.
The show was one of the best seen
by Winthrop audiences in a long
time and the long weeks of prepara
ton and the hard work put in by
those who had it in charge resulted
in a finished production, of which
they might well be proud.
The songs went with even greater
Zest than on the opening night. Par
ticular. favorites with the audience
were the song and clog dance by
Eva Drapeau, the song and dance
by Anna Joy and the songs by Dor
othy Marble. Mrs. Bate of course
was pleasing in her solo number and
in fact there was not poor number
in the program. The dance by
Madame Bate was hit, many OF
the audience failing to note that Mrs.
Bate had changed places with her
husband and that the Post COM
mander in a costume, the duplicate
Of the one worn in the first part by
his wife, was giving a dance, which
duplicated the success which he won
at the Legion minstrel.
The Pickanninny chorus was very
effective. The children'S voices were
sweet and clear and with Mrs. Bate
as Nanny" this number was very
attractive. The finale to the first
part was q particularly pleasing
tableau with flags, cross being
formed on the stage and Mrs. Ellie
French acting as color bearer, with
Edmund Audair as drummer.
The solo by Miss TheIma Knee
land, who sang 1.-The Piper of Love-"
brought a storm of applause. This
talented young singer always makes
a hit and she was particularly good
in her selections for this program.
The Chocolate Soldiers Parade
was a pleasing novelty and was per-
formed with accuracy and precision.
The girls who appeared in this were
Dorothy Mable. Mabel Kinds, Rose
Currier, Alice Currier, Elnora Bru-
neau, Lille Dostie, Mary Nedze and
Adrienne DeBlois.
The pickaninnies were Junior
Gaylord, Bernard, Bernice and Ma
