upset children

IL children are subject to little
"A upsets. They come at unex-
pected times. They seem twice as
serious in the dead of night. But
there's one form of comfort on
which mother can always rely;
good old Castoria. This pure vege-
table preparation can't harm the
tiniest infant. Yet mild as it is, it
soothes a restless, fretful baby like
nothing else. Its quick relief soon
sees the youngster comfortable once
more, back to sleep. Even an attack
of collie, or diarrhea, yields to the
soothing influence of Castoria.
Keep Castoria in mind, and keep
a bottle in the house-always.
Give it to any child whose tongue is
coated, or whose breath is bad.
Continue with Castoria until the
child is grown!

EXPERIENCED COOKS
PUT UP FRUIT IN
SMALL QUANTITIES
Hills Bros. Follow Similar
Rule by Roasting Coffee a
Little at a Time

By adding the halves of fruit to
the hot syrup a few at a time. the
boiling temperature is maintained
and the fruit cooks to firm, tender
goodness.
This principle is apparent in
Hill Bros process of roasting coffee
and the result is a uniform, deli
cious flavor no other coffee has. A
constant stream of expertly blended
green coffee is introduced into the
roaster in automatically measured
lots of about three pounds. As it
passes through, uniform heat roasts
it little at time. When the op-
Grafton is over, every berry is
roasted to an even degree that could
never be secured by any bulk
method of roasting coffee.
This process is fttingly called
Controlled Roasting. 1t was orig
mated and patented by Hills Bros.
and develops savory, delicious
flavor that no other process can
equal.
Because Hills Bros. Coffee is
packed in vacuum, it is always
fresh. By this process, air, which
destroys the flavor of coffee, is
taken out of the can and kept out.
Ordinary cans, even if air-tight,
do not keep coffee fresh. Ask for
Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look
for the Arab-the trade-mark-on
the can. Sold by grocers every
where.

SAYS SERVICE
CLUBS FUTURE
IS in DANGER

George r. McInt.re, district super
intendent of schools in Brawley.
was speaker of the day at the Lions
club meeting yesterday at The Bar
bara Worth hotel.
His theme was the future Of serv-
ice clubs during the next 10 years
and he made the startling obServa-
ton that unless some change was
made, service clubs will not survive.
Taking as an example the loss Of
membership in all service clubs that
was experienced last year, he point
ed out that this was due to a lack
OF definite aim or objective, and
if the clubs are to continue as vital
organizations, they must conform
to their original aim of service.
Prof. McIntire then gave as illus
tration of service. the fact that chill
dren at various stages in their ca
reer look up to some adult as their
ideal and as a result his influence
is great. He stated the service clubs
could render no better service to a
community than to act as guides
TO the future generation, giving all
the help possible to enable the youth
Of the land to develop properly.
