RBAUTY doctors who restrict
their efforts to lifting facial
muscles and treating skins with
creams and lotions are missing
some of the best tricks of the pro-
fession In the opinion of DR.. Her.
man NJ Bundesen, health commits
sioner of the city of Chicago. DR..
Bundesen believes that 1.-The one
best way to put rouge on a wo-
mans cheeks from the inside out
instead of the outside in is ice
cream. And she can still get it in
a drug store"
Dr. Bundesen's reasons for this
aptly put statement are many. He
knows that the only true beauty
of face andtfigure lies in the foun-
dation of a healthy body, and this
last can be obtained only through
nourishing, well-balanced foods.
Ice cream as health food of the
highest order is a somewhat novel
idea to those uninitiated in food
values, but ice cream has long beef:
recognized for it's true worth by
DR.. Bundesen and other students
Of diet.
Because it is milk product, ice
cream offers those who eat 1t the
butterfat, proteins. minerals, and
vitamins which are contained in
that perfectly balanced food. The
sugar which sweetens it adds to its
energy producing ability, and the
flavoring makes 1t more pleasing to

And who does the warehousng? Not
the manufacturer. nor the retailer. nor
we, the consumers. The distributor
or jobber does it.
This jobber stands between the pro-
Queer and the retailer. He buys the
manufacturers output, he pays for the
commodities as they are produced. he
ships them to strategic consuming cen
tiers, he stores them awaiting future
consumption, he places them SO con-
veniently to the community retail store

Consider the subject of dry batteries
in relation to this function of the dis
tributor. But first glance at a few
major facts regarding the manufacture
of these batteries. There are about
four or FIVE manufacturing centers for
nationally accepted dry batteries, these
principal centers being Jersey City,
Cleveland, Madison, Wis, and San
Francisco. The manufacturing proc
ess is highly specialized one. There
exists a growing tendency toward con-

solemnity of the occasion. Think of

you. There's a funny streak in me
somewhere. Like Mother. You know
she always giggles at the wrong time"
Thus he tried to pass it off, yet
knew his jollity was forced, really a
caricature to relieve the sting of
strangled desires. Those cheers in
the huge Spartan park still rang in
his ears and he wasn't ready to settle
down in the dry dust of musty law
and he knew it, but the tragedy of
telling his father so was too great.
"Yes," agreed the old man, that is
so. Your mother has been a great
trial at times" he said with sigh.
"Yup," grinned the boy, thinking of
the pink-cheeked, vivacious little
gray-haired woman at home, "and the
greatest trial you ever won, Dad.

Send Seeds Early,
Says State Analyst

University of Idaho, Moscow.-S
dealers will avoid the usual delays
caused by the spring rush in the state
seed laboratories if they will submit
their prospective samples at once,
says Miss Jessie c. Ayres, state seed
analyst for the University Extension
division.
From the middle of February to
about April samples arrive in great
number every day." Miss Ayres says,
"and it is humanity impossible for any
one analyst to give the desired SER
vice. So if dealers can possibly be-
gin to pick out their spring stock
earlier they will receive more prompt
service.
Cali growers become dealers who
sell to their neighbors any kind of
clover or alfalfa seed. Therefore, it
is very important that they also get
their seed cleaned and tested before
the grand rush if they wish prompt
service"

Roger Pinneo, prominent Pacific
Coast port authority, who has been
making study of Victoria as world
port is gathering data on refrigera-
ton facilities in the British Columbia
capital in an endeavor to induce in
vestors to construct cold storage
plant on the Ogden Point Piers there.
1t is Mr. Pinneo's plan to have the
cold storage plant on the new Ogden
Point Piers so that shipments could
be made overland in refrigerator cars
direct from Victoria over the Cana
dian National tracks.
Mr.. Pinneo has cast eyes on the
business of the halibut industry and
wants part of it for Victoria. He re-
ports that the halibut landings for
the season at Prince Rupert amounted
to 26,312,900 pounds, of which Ameri-
can boats brought in 19,924,000 pounds
and Canadian boats, 6,33S,700 pounds.
The value of this fish is estimated
at nearly $4,00O,OOO and car tonnage
would total about 1,10O cars Consid-
cradle halibut is also landed at Van
couver and Seattle. Mr.. Pinneo points
out that the halibut trade is but part
of the trade that could be attracted

storage facilities

Funny little noises were issuing

came bit unsteady. "Ah, Delbert,

DISTRIBUTION is MAJOR FACTOR In

That is the not unusual order given

stores. Small and simple enough and
yet, when added into the sum total,

of the country. While no direct
statistics are available, it is estimated
that we as consumers now spend over
sixty million dollars annually for dry

which is for radio dry cells.

we want, order them, and they pres

But what if we had to go to the manu-

efficiently that every corner store has

We know the essential functions
performed by the manufactured

1t was a glorious day for Cotton
College. The year just closing had
been one grand succession of tri-
jumps. In football the boys had been
invincible, in basketball unbeatable;
the track team had cleaned up 100 per
cent, and now, in the final baseball
game of the season, Del HaywOrth was
giving Mason Tech a royal trimming.
The big bowl, swarming with screech-
ing, bowling, shouting thousands, that
day was the scene of an almost per-
fectly pitched game. The first man
up for Mason had singled He never
got any further and not another hit
ter had reached first base. Meantime
Cotton had clouted Red Coyne for
eight runs, so the huge bowl was
seething.
At different points, poised on the
edge of the wall separating them from
the playing field, three men, all gray
haired, all keen-eyed, all tense-faced,
waited for the game to end. Each

interested in Del Hayworth.

smile broadened. The Spartans were
the richest club in the big league
crowd, and Holland was bound to
have this years pennant.

vast bowl the scout leaped. So did
