fight on the method of financing the

of the School Fund, while the Demo-
Gratis favor the NRA plan of the 80
per cent gift, and borrow the remain

Broccoli is lew-old cousin of
caulifiower. rather new to this coun-
try but actually the vegetable from
which cauliflower was developed. II
Is cooked and served like caulifiower,

Green beans continue to be plenti-
full, good and very reasonable. Local
and southern spinach are both in
market together with cabbage. cauli-

salads need not lack for fine quality
lettuce. Plenty of ss'"d dressing helps
TO make them good energy foods and
the lettuce with fruits and vegetables
supply other necessary food elements.

Disraeli, Lord Beaconsfield, was
very ambitious man, and very tai
ented one. but he had learned how to
wait. Even as boy he cast himself
in the role of DemOsthenes, of Napo-
leon, of Alexander. He was always a
leader in whatever his Imagination
led him to engage in. And yet If he
had faced the facts there was little
chance for him. He was Jew. and
the Jews were despised and almost
an ostracized race in England when
Disraell was boy.
The story is told in the admirable

characteristic which few men possess.
We don't like waiting
It is wisest often to make haste
slowly. Norton wants to be rich. and
he cannot wait. Hesneyer buys con-
sentative security: he looks for the
highest interest possible. He puts his
money only into enterprises which
promise quick and high returns. Most
of his investments, therefore, have
gone onto the rocks. Because of his
lack OF elaboration and because he
could not wait to attain his ends he
has made little or no progress toward
the attainment of his financial ambi-
tion.

syrup of figs will gently stimulate
the colon muscles-and the child
you used to coax to eat win fairly

Try the California treatment! Be

syrup of figs to cleanse the colon
thoroughly. Give less tomorrow,
then every other day, or twice a
week until the child's appetite, d.
gestion, weight, complexion, tell
you the stasis is gone.
Be sure to get the real California

Chain Sale Scheme
Under Eye Of u. S.

tricky concerns We have received no
complaints but we have been flooded
with inquiries. 1t is not a new
scheme, for recall such methods of
salesmanship were popular in 1912.
We have not yet seen where we can
make complaint against the plan
as whole"
e. H. Clarahan, postal inspector in
charge of the New York office, said
investigation of endless chain-selling
organizations was a long drawnout
jo'. He pointed. out that each con-
Germ had to be investigated individu-
ally, given a public hearing. and that
frequently the case had to be carried
through the courts.
Here's how 1t operates: The par.
ticipant buys an article for $3.50 and
10 cents Iii stamps and then sells four
articles at the same price, making
commission of $l.25 on the fourth
sale. Thereafter the agent sells three
other articles, making $3.75. His three
customers sell three each and the orig
inal participant gets s33.75 in commits
sions and the others are ready to start
their profit sharing. By the ninth step
the total commissions amount to more
than $4,000 If the chain remains I'M

World May Be Moving
to Second "Stone Age"

When it costs twice as much to
pull down a building as it cost to put
it up, 1t may be inferred that it is
durable, and if the grewsome pro-
phecies concerning the next war are
near the truth we are likely to need
the protection of such a material.
We are being. told by those who
ought to know that if another World
war comes, not only will people sleep
securely in bomb proof, shrapnei-
proof concrete houses, but our blue
jackets and marines will put to sea
In concrete battleships.
Already we have concrete hotels,
bridges, lampposts, and fences, and
doubtless the housewife is looking
forward to her first set of unbreak-
able concrete crockery. The latest
development is a concrete coffin, far
more durable than oak, which will
cost, 1t is said, about eight shillings
