DO YOU
KNOW AS MUCH
AS YOUR CAT?
She's a knowing cat.

Shes knowing cat.
She asks for little-just her meals,
a saucer of milk and a place in the
sun. She gets plenty of sleep and
exercise. She never worries, never
frets. What is the result? Such
vitality and resistance that We say,
Cats have nine lives"
What does your cat do when she
IS not we'll? She eats catnip, If she
can find it. She eats grass and GER
stinct leads her.
Your cat takes herbs for a tonic.
Did you ever stop to think that
Old Mother Nature, who supplies
the herbs necessary to your cats
health, has also provided the herbs
necessary to your own well-beiDg?
You don't have to hunt for them
as the cat does. The herbs you
need are skillfully blended and COM

Vegetable Compound, an old
fashioned tonic that will help to
restore your energy.

HEATING THE
HOME

DADICAL developments In the
~ insulation Of homes are rev.
authorizing methods Of house
heating, cutting down costs and
bringing a change in the size OF
the heating units, according to
the American Research Founda-
ton. House insulation is having
an effect on changing the fuels
used.
Light weight cellular products
made OF wood such as balsam
wood and kindred insulating ma
terials," says the bulletin, have
so cut the cost of heating that
fuels such as gas. hitherto con-
sidered expensive, can now be
used economically.
From many points OF view, not
the least of them being cleanli-
ness and freedom from dust and
smoke, gas and oil are the ideal
heating materials. Statistics given
out by Standard and Sinclair Oil
companies show that fuel oils
and distillates have been going
into storage in recent months even
though at the same time there
has been a diminishing supply of
gasoline.
This would indicate that there
is sufficient heating oils to insure
a low price for a considerable
time, as fuel oil and distillates are
by-products of motor fuel. and
that it is safe to invest in house
heating units Of this kind, espe-
cially along the coasts and near
refining centers."

If a man treats his horse right.
he will treat his customers right!
The very worst advertisement n
firm can have is a skinny, over
loaded horse and wagon.

and care that is lavished on most
faithful horses. I love to see a
