the little rabbit. Whats the reason?
Aren't you uncomfortable?
Just a trifle," replied the good

What do you mean?" asked the
curious little rabbit.

Candy Is a real food and is not
likely to make one fat II one does
not overeat," declares the secretary
of the Associated Retail Confec-
TONERS Of the United States. All
we'll and good for those who are
counting calories, but the trouble is
that too few candy eaters bother
with the count. It is said that no.
whore in the world is there a per
capita consumption Of sugar any
where near as high as that In the
United States today. The Pittsburg
Post comes forth with the following
comments 1.-THE cannibals Of the
South Sea Isles are said to have
particularly relished the flesh of
white people because, owing to their
heavy consumption of salt it had a
delicious salty taste not found in
other people. II that was true, one
wonders II the unprecedented use
Of sugar by Americans would make
them taste to cannibals like a stick
Of candy"

To Test Pearls

A new process for distinguishing
between natural and cultured pearls
was described before the French
academy recently,
The method, very simple and mex
pensive, requires the inserting of
miniature tube in the hole bored in
the pearl for beading purposes. With
in the tube are two little, mirrors
very close together, at right angles to
each other and at an angle of 40
degrees with the sides of the tube.
When a light is thrown into the
tube on the first mirror it is reflected
on the second mirror if the pearl
is composed of concentric layers,
as is the case with all natural
pearls. If the core of the pearl is not
composed of concentric spheres the
ray of light instead of striking the
second mirror shines through the
substance of which the cultivated
pearl is made and appears as tiny
spot of light on the surface.

Keep 1t Curly
BY Edna Wallace Hopper

Summer and winter my hair is
ever curly. 1t is tidy, but fluffy.
1t has a glow. Yet l never visit
a hairdresser, never have a Marcel
wave.
Those results are due to a hair
dress which great experts made
especially for me. ] apply it twice
a week. 1t doubles the beauty of
my hair in an hour. And that wave
and sheen remain.
Now you can obtain the same
product. Allstoilet counters sup
ply it as Edna Wallace Hopper's
Wave and Sheen. The price is
75c- My guarantee comes with
each bottle, so you take no risk.
This is a .delight-one of the best
things / ever found for women, especial
ly those with bobbed hair. In summer
it is essential. Go try it now.

At the same time work must be
started in the other factories of the
city making pencils. When the work
ers get ready they will strike. But
they will not be provoked by the

When the workers decide that the
time is ripe for a strike they will
strike and the company will find

with union organized by the work

The workers of the Eagle Pencil

America its clergy orders the faith
full to refrain from reading certain
books-and a large percentage of
these books are scientific works ex-
planning the natural laws which by un-
derstanding and applying modern in

possible. All of Darwin's works are

EDUCATION to the catholic church

it pleases means education in the doc
trines of the church. 1t does not even
pretend to give elementary education
to large masses of its followers.
The truth of the matter is and
every well-informed member of the
catholic church knows it, is that the
catholic church has never abandoned
its claim to temporal power-to power
superior to that of the state. 1t obeys
laws made by governments purely as
a matter of expediency. In Mexico it

4 have made big mistake.
They thought that the alliance, con-
summated with Wall Street, of which
the Eucharist congress was the public
expression, made the position Of the
church so strong that the Mexican
government would not dare to chal-
lenge it. They have created much dis
sension in Mexico, they have awaken
ed the middle-class democratic revolu-

get either of the two things they
wanted:

which would place the old landlord
class in power with the backing of
Wall Street, or

ism and the world representative of

thing happened to me the other night.
AS matter Of fact 1t didn't happen to
me, but to fellow who was talking
over the radio. He was announcing
that somebody or other would read
about what Jesus said to the Romans,
somebody else would sing a hymn
about Jesus, and a girl would accom-
pany on the plano.
No sooner had they started than
began turning the indicator and,
what do you think, but ! ran into a
nice, snappy, jazzy orchestra. stop
ped right there and switched the ampIi-
fer. What a racket? Jesus was kicked
out of the atmosphere. told my wife
about it, She laughed like hell. "Jazz
has poor Jesus Knocked for a row Of
bathing SUITS" she said, no doubt
thinking Of Aimee McPherson.-sam-
