and hands and making a grab for a
powder puff.

beauty treatments In the morning.

How TO make
a aperfect cup
OF Tea

Use India Tea or a blend
containing India Tea, and
make it in the correct
way. Use an earthen-
ware teapot, previously
warmed. Put into it one
teaspoonful of India Tea
for each person. Be sure
the water is poured into
the teapot the moment il
boils. Allow to stand for
5 minutes to infuse. Put
a little milk or cream into
each cup before serving
the tea. It greatly i'm.
proves the favour. Then
add sugar to taste. India
Tea also makes the best

NLACK, fermen-
ted India Tea is,
Nwithout doubt,
AIthe most stimu-
latingandrefresh-
ing drink in the world.
It's the fermentation that
gives the kick! No tea
that is not fermented can
have the same wonderful
stimulating properties as
India Tea.
If you drink tea, be
sure you drink India
Tea or a blend contain
ing India Tea. If you
have not yet tasted tea,
try a cup of India Tea.
We know that one cup
will convince you of its
refreshing and stimulat-
ing qualities.
The people of Great
Britain drink on the
average E cups of India
Tea or a blend contain
ing India Tea a day to
one cup of any other
kind. They have been
tea drinkers eli their
lives, and experience
has taught them which

beware Of Widows Universal
Jewel feature which comes tomor-
row night to the Airdome, is the
screen story of a wild and hilarious
night on luxurious houseboat with
Laura La Plante. Universal 3
blonde star heads east of superb
farceurs in this drama of laughs,
which was adapted from the stage
success by Owen Davis.
Bryant Washburn, distinguished
leading man of the stage and screen
is the young doctor fiance of the
dimpled blonde who makes the mis-.
take of serving one of his attrac
tive female patients not wisely but
too well. The result is that the in
dignant bridc-to-b denounces him
as 4 polygamist and gees back to
her mother.
When she sees in the society col.
urnns the announcement of the doe
tor 5 forthcoming marriage 20 the
charming widow whose wiles were
responsible for the shattered we'd
ding, the girl realizes that she can t
live without him and determines, on
the eve of the doctors marriage to
her detested rival. to save him for
herself.
The audacious ruse by which she
manages to get aboard the house
boat where the wedding is to take
place, and the means she employs in
breaking down the morale of the
impending nuptiais makes a fast and
furious farce in which the following
feature east supports Laura La
Plante: Bryant Washburn, Paulette

of the division of motor vehicles, to
use every means at their disposal
to protect children using the streets

appeal to motorists to drive care
fully and to parents to instruct their
children how to keep out of danger,
pointing out that schools are now re-
opening all over the state and that
thousands of children will be com
PEELED to use traffic -congested roads.
The officers were told to arrest
any motorist driving in reckless
manner where children are walking
or going faster than the legal limit
in passing schoolhouses.
Parents and teachers We're urged
to instruct children to use the left
side of the road so that they may
face approaching traffic. He de-
elared it a dangerous practice to
permit Young children to walk on
the roads or to cross them unless
accompanied by older persons.
Children. he added. should be
taught not to .iaywalk' and never
to cross street without looking
both ways for approaching vehicles,
To the motorist Shook said:
"Drive carefully. Children are
irresponsible and easily confused.
