Method Popular Here

Marion Nixon is still another, like
scores Of Hollywood stars. who have
taken the advice of physicians and
found how quickly colds disappear
after few pleasant doses of Ayers
Cherry Pectoral. For in Hollywood,
as in hundreds Of Indianapolis
homes, this hospital tested remedy
has become standard treatment for
colds.
MY director was frantic" says
Miss Nixon, when I arrived at the
studio with terrible cold, which
had started in my head and spread
down into my chest. I was simply
too hoarse to work. 1t was very
clear that unless I could end the
cold quickly there would either be
expensive delay or the risk Of cough
ing or sneezing while the photoplay
was being recorded.
Within a few minutes after I
was given a pleasant spoonful of
Ayers Pectoral. 7 was relieved by
its comfortable, healing warmth.
That night, I was able to enjoy
refreshing sleep. which had been
impossible the night before. The
next morning I felt a great deal
better and by afternoon my voice
cleared up so that I could continue
making the picture. In a day or so,
all disagreeable symptoms of my
cold had disappeared entirely"

With skeletons on lower levels we

REMOVING DANGER

Distressing as Monday nights affair
at Imperial was, it has been gratifying
in the past two days to observe the re-
action of Imperial Valley residents con-
cerning it.
Almost unanimously, white residents
have not hesitated to condemn the bomb
ing. The few exceptions are those who
are so ignorant and self-centered that
they alone are perfect and everyone else
is wrong.
Equally gratifying is the attitude OF
the Filipinos There has been no thought
of reprisals, as might we'll have been eX-
pected.
This is not because the Filipino Is
afraid or cowardly. He has been grleV-
ouslv hurt. The rank and file OF the
Filipinos love the United States and prlde
themselves upon being part Of It. Ther
leaders. while working toward independ-
ence. are satisfied to wait until the Unit
ed States feels certain they are able to
govern themselves.
Several of these leaders have been N
the valley for the past two days, talking
with their fellow counTymen, counsel
ling them not to do anything that VIII
further aggravate present conditions.
Notable among them are Faustmo
Reeves. private secretary to Manuel Que
zon. president of the Filipino senate.
Mr.. Quezon, recuperating at Monrovla
from a long illness, sent his secretary

pinos keep level heads. To meet Mr..

and an exceptionally high type OF man.

the Filipinos, who would seize upon the
present incident to make more trouble;

4 FAST" GIRL

When q woman flyer gets into the
same class with Lindbergh, Captain
Frank Hawks and other speed demons,
it is worthy of comment
Yesterday Miss Ruth Nichols landed
in New York completing a one-stop flight
from Los Angeles in 13 hours 20 minutes
and 43 seconds, bettering the transcon-
tinental flying time of Colonel Lind
bergh and Captain Roscoe Turner, and
only few minutes behind Captain
Hawks. who holds the record.
Between Wichita, Kansas, her over
night stop, and New York City, a dis
tanee of 300 miles, Miss Nichols is be-
lieved to have flown faster than anyone
else. Hawks included has ever been able
to make the trip.
Her time was hours under the previous
woman's record of 21 hours and Al min
utes made in October by Mrs. Keith
Miller.
Miss Nichols flies because she likes
it, 1t is not surprising then that she
flies so we'll.

Baby Bunty, pass your plate and !

"Oh, cabbage pudding! Fine!
How 1 love it," cried Bunty.
"Wiggy!" exclaimed Mrs. Long
cars. That child has had some
cabbage pudding
Il know she has, answered Mr..
Longears, But I think it will be
good for her to have a bit more
Here, Baby Bunty!'
oh. my goodness" said Mrs.
Longears.
The truth of the matter was
Uncle Wiggily did not want Bunty
to ask so many questions about the
big bag. Soon the other Dummies
would start teasing him.
And the best way to keep Baby
Bunty from asking questions" said
Uncle Wiggily to himself, "is TO fill
her up with cabbage pudding "
Which he started TO do.
II is a good thing, though, that
soon after, the cabbage pudding
was all eaten, fov if Baby Bunty
had been given all she would take
something might have happened.
However she forgot to ask any more
about the big bag and Uncle Wig
gily was glad.
After supper Mr.. Longears went
up to his room, pulled from beneath
the bed the bag Of toys and, lock-
ing the door began to look at
them Such a lot Of drums, dolls,
pop guns. skates, Jumping jacks and
fire engines as there were.
And this isn't all" chuckled the
bunny uncle. "I'll have TO get
few more bags of toys from the
places Santa Claus leaves them, to
have enough for my forty sixteen
children. But now I'm going 10
have a look at my own football"
When gathering the toys for his
children, Uncle Wiggily had seen a
big football that he bought for him

self. He had always wanted 4 foot
ball to kick around, but, since ne
was a small rabbit boy. he had nev-
er been able TO get one.
And when the spring comes
again, I'm going out and have some
fun with this football" murmured
Mr.. Longears. He held up the
leather bag. shaped like an egg, in
side of which was rubber bladder
blown up with air. There was a
great deal of air in the football.
Uncle Wiggily bounced it on the
floor of his room. and wished he
might kick it, but did not quite
dare do this.
7 might kick il through the VIM
dow and then all the children
would come rushing up here 10 find
out what was going on, thought
the bunny.
Looking toward the window, as
he bounced his football again
Uncle Wiggily was surprised TO see
the wolf climbing in. The Bad Chap
had scrambled uo an old honey
suckle vine that was like 4 ladder
on the bungalow wall outside the
window. And, as Uncle Wiggiiy
had his window open for fresh air
il popped the wolf.
"Oh dear!" murmured the bun.

Surprised to see me; aren't you?'
growled the wolf.
Well. yes. a llttlel" whispered
Mr.. Longears.
Bah! Why don't you tell the
truth and say lott" snickered the
Bad Chap. What have you there?
A big plum" cried the Wolf look
ing at the football blown up hard
with air. Give it TO me! I'm fond
Of plums I'll eat that and nibble
you'll"
Before Uncle Wiggily could say
that the football wasn't plum. the
Wolf impolitely grabbed the toy
away from the rabbit gentleman
ann gave it hard BITE. And then
all Of a sudden:
"Whoosh!" Out blew the air, puff
fling so hard on the Wolf that it
blew him right out of the open
window into the snow below
"Ha! Ha!" laughed Uncle Wig

Chap run away. Don't you want

"One bite was enough!" then the
