When spots or rings appear
after cleaning with fluids, allow to

Lure Of Beauty.

When you behold garter snake.
Forthwith the nearest stick you take
And seek to end the life of one
Who never any harm has done
Except base, greedy moths to slay
And keep the rats and mice away.
When you observe stodgy toad
Inside the yard or on the road,
You cast at him a stick or stone
And he expires with one low moan.
And yet the poor batrachian
Has always been the friend Of man.
You smile upon the butterfly
That fits on brilliant pinions by,
And yet the tiny eggs he lays
Will hatch out grubs in later days,
And every greedy grub devours
A hundred times its weight in flowers.

Uncommon Sense
Start Isn't Enough
BY JOHN BLAKE.

7 REMEMBER watching an early air.
plane exhibition in which the ma
chine was catapulted from sort
L of railway by means of a great
spring. The inventor of the plane
as well as the apparatus was very proud
of his starting device and talked a
great deal about it. And it worked. 1t
fashioned plane was thrust violently
down the track, up slope and into
the air. But that was all.
AS soon as the impetus Of the coil
was used up. the plane. whose engine
| was too feeble for the job expected Of it.
| dropped heavily to the ground, and
that was all Of the exhibition for that
day.
Going home, I thought considerably
about the relative importance of a start,
| even a good start. I recalled a good
| many brilliant young fellows I had
known, who did excellently when there
| was some one behind them pushing,
but who. when they had to depend on
their own mental propellers. didn't
make any headway. 1 have come to
think since then that while a good
start is help, it is far from being
enough.
Gen. Grant, though he had a moder-
ately good start at West Point, made
i poor use of it, and was given up by his
| friends and relatives as a failure when
| the Civil War broke out How he
proved them in the wrong, and showed
| that second starts are quite possible to
a man who has ability you will find In
any good history of the United States.
Don't be worried If. after you get
under way on your journey through
life. something happens and you
flop" as did this plane I told you
about. There are many highly success
full people in the world who, because of
one circumstance or another, have, as
they think, completely failed-but have
gotten new starts and won with them.

One Of the most successful motor
manufacturers in the world was little
more than a tinker in the early days of
the industry and his friends regarded
him with smile when they saw him
| working on his gas cart" Since then
they have changed their minds.
It is not the first start or the second
or the first or second failure that
counts. 1t is grim determination and
the ability to go back for more, no mat
ter how often you have been bowled
over by fate The start itself is never
enough.
The willingness to keep starting till
you get the machine going will develop
any man or any woman and help one
along the way, if one never can learn
when he is licked.

She had three damask tablecloths
which were too large for her everyday

She conceived the idea of having
them lined with ivory white sateen and
using them for hangings at her two
windows. She could do it nicely IN
this room, as she had one window
which was too narrow for pair OF
curtains and yet long enough to re-
quire a drapery similar to that USED
IN the other window.

LABORATORY TESTS
CHECK EFFICACY OF
KELLOCC'S ALL-BRAN
Show Why This Delicious
Cereal Overcomes Com
mon Constipation

There are scientific reasons for
the success of ALL-BRAN in pre-
venting and relieving common
constipation. Laboratory investl-
cations show that it supplies
bulk" to exercise the intestines;
and vitamin B to promote appe-
tite, and help tone the intestinal
tract.
These two important food ele-
ments aid regular habits, and help
do away with the headaches, loss
of appetite and energy, SO often
the result of constipation,
The bulk" in ALL-BRAN is
mild in action-much like that of
lettuce. Inside the body it forms
soft mass, which gently clears
the intestines of wastes.
Isn't this pleasant cereal way"
far more helpful than using pills
and drugs-so often habit-form-
ing!
Just eat two tablespoonfuls of
Kellogg's daily-enough for most
types of constipation. If not re-
lieved this way, see your doctor.
Besides. ALL-BRAN brings your
body twice as much b1ood-build-
ing iron as an equal amount by
weight of beef liver.
Special cooking processes make
ALL-BRAN finer, softer, more
palatable. Equally tasty as a
cereal, or used in cooking. Recipes

Baked apple and brown betty, too, need
the butter flavor to make them more

other vegetables, that are all good in
themselves, are far more attractive to

Long heating destroys the butter

Salad oils are another means of
adding energy value and staying quality

Under different trade names, cotton
