A song for the Old
While its knell is tolled.
And its parting moments fly!
But song and cheer
For the glad New Year,
While we watch the Old Year die!
oh! its grief and pain
Meier can come again,
And it's care lies buried deep;
But what joy untold
Doth the New Year hold,
And what hopes within it sleep!
A song for the Old,
While its knell Is tolled,
And the friends it gave SO true!
But, with hearts Of glee,
Let us merrily
Welcome in the bright, bright New
For the heights we gained,
For the good attained,
We will not the Old despise;
But joy more sweet,
Making life complete,
In the golden New Year lies.
A song for the Old,
While it's knell Is tolled,
With a grander, broader zeal,
And a forward view,
Let us greet the New,
Heart and purpose ever leal!
Let the ills we met,
And the sad regret,
With the Old be buried deep;
For what joy untold
Doth the New Year hold,
And what hopes within 1t sleep!

YOUR GROCER HAS
THIS SUNNY WAY
TO BETTER HEALTH
Check Common Constipation
with a Delicious Cereal

Food has a lot to do with how
you feel and how you look. For in
stance, you need plenty OF bulk"
with your meals to avoid the risk
of common constipation.
This ailment frequently causes
headaches, loss of appetite and en-
ergy. Yet, in most cases, 1t can be
overcome pleasantly and safely by
eating a delicious cereal.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN furnishes
bulk" in convenient and concen-
trated form. Laboratory tests show
the bulk" in ALL-BRAN is safe
and effective. In fact, 1t Is much
like that found In leafy vegetables.
Within the body, the fiber of
ALL-BRAN absorbs moisture, and
forms a soft mass. Gently, this
clears out the intestinal wastes.
In addition, ALL-BRAN provides
vitamin B and iron.
Isn't this sunny way better than
taking patent medicines-so often
harmful? Two tablespoonfuls of
ALL-BRAN daily are usually sufh-
cient. Chronic cases with each
meal. If seriously i'll, see your doc
tor. ALL-BRAN makes no claim
to be a "cure-all."
Enjoy ALL-BRAN as a cereal. or
cook into appetizing recipes. Be
sure you get .Kellogg's ALL-BRAN.
It contains much more needed
bulk" than part-bran products,
In the red-and-green package.
Made by Kellogg in Battle Greek.

Horsefiies.
Family Tabanidae.

TT MUST have been their size that
gained for them their name Too
many of us can testify the pest
Il does not confine his whole at
tention to horses. Mules, cattle,
hogs, dogs, deer and other wild and
domessicated animals are the victims
of the lady blood-suckers."
The male members of the family
seek the nectar of flowers and the
sweet sap of trees Tor their refresh
ment. True, the females are to be
hostesses, too. Only in cases Of thirst,
and when no warm-blood creature Is
within her reach, does she resort to so
mild a drink, however. The chances
are the horsefly that comes racing
toward us as we enter the woods on a
sizzling hot day is a female.
It has always seemed hat the
hotter the weather the more gleeful
appeared the horseflies. 1t is said
with authority that the hot weather
causes the horsef1y much JOY and
contentment. You can easily under
stand this when you remember how
the locust tunes up in August.
There are several hundred species
of horsef1ies in the United States.
They range in size from about one
third of an inch to nearly an inch
long. As a rule they are clad in brown
Or black. Sometimes they have stripes
on their bodies and some members of
the family are spotted. Still others,
the smaller species, have bands on
their wings.
The eyes are brilliantly colored. If
you wish to be sure that it is horse
fly that has met a sudden death
through your handy swatter, look at
the antennae. If they are in three
parts, with the first third longer than
the remaining two, it is horsefly and
you have done your good turn for the
Gay.
Only the mother flies have been
given efficient equipment for piercing
end sucking. When these determined
buccaneers race through the air, they
are seeking the blood of an animal

whose scent they have caught on the
breeze.
When a heavy-bodied insect, going
at clipping speed, strikes its victim,
the surprised animal does everything
to dislodge its foe. The canny blood
sucker has fastened herself on the
head, neck, shoulder or back of her
host. With her knife-like mouth parts
and suction apparatus she takes all
the blood she can hold before she de-
cides to leave. There can be seen
drops of blood coming from the hole
she has made in the animals skin
with her sharp lance after she has
departed.
Many bad accidents have been
caused by horseflies biting horse
which, In desperation, bolted. In the
pastures, where there is a stream
nearby, these pests are numerous.

/. The bid of new suit, after your
partner has given you any response
other than one no-trump, is not only
a fine constructive maneuver, but also
an inferential force. 1t has the ad-
vantage of the one-over-one-inter-
changing information at the Lowest
possible level. Your partner should
always be able to make some further
move on the hand.

on the hand, which he feels his part
ner will not accept in view of her

support clubs, until he finds out
whether West has a f1ve-card suit.
3. West shows the five-card suit.
4. The belated support.
5. Vests holding certainly justifies
the small-slam bid
North opened the king of spades,
which West took with the ace. East
and West hold two eight-card suits
diamonds and clubs. If the out
standing five cards in both suits are
divided three-two, West makes seven
clubs. Having contracted for only six
clubs, however, she should study the
possibilities of poor adverse distribu-
tion. The hand can be played at n
cross-ruff, making eight club tricks,
two diamonds, heart and spade
This allows for a four-one, or a five
nothing division in clubs, as long
as the hand that is long in clubs has
three diamonds, lies behind declarer
or lacks the eight of clubs. West can
get In her five-Spot Of clubs by trump
ing spade; if she can also get in her
seven-spot by trumping the third
round of diamonds, nothing can beat
the hand. In the event that the dia-
monds are divided four-one, declarer
has the opportunity of setting up her
heart suit by guessing the location of
the king.
West, however, staked everything
on a three-two division in clubs. She
drew two rounds of trumps and dis
covered that North held four trumps.
She then played the ace and king of
diamonds and discarded losing spade.
Finding that dummy had no re-entry,
even if she set up the diamond suit.
she decided to give up the king of
hearts. The ten-spot was played from
dummy and allowed to ride around.
When North didn't take the trick, West
really felt quite bad. There was one
possibility left. She couldn't afford
to shorten her trump length unless
North could be induced to trump over
her. She led the third round of dia-
monds, hoping that South held the
queen. After this third misfor tune,
she gave up. About this time, she be-
gan to see the cross-ruff she had over
looked. Muttering accusingly 70 her
self, she gave up diamond trick, a
club trick and the king of hearts. Re-
suit: A loss Of 100 points for the Ag-
gressives.
