Wrond Number in Japan

The Japanese are superstitious
and will not have a telephone with
an unlucky number. The number
a." for example, is practically
barred because the word for four,
"shi," sounds almost the same as
the word for death. The only ex-
ception is that where pronouncing
the complete number also conveys
happy thought.
The number 1919 is a good ex-
ample. Although it contains the
dreaded 4, Japanese get around it
by using the word "yo" instead Of
"shi," and then the phrase is "yo-
ku-i-ku" (4919, meaning "every-
thing goes we'll"
But this is very definite ex-
ception, for the word mime" has
the same meaning as Sadness, >"
and Japanese therefore shun it.

A Three Days Cough
Is Your Danger Signal

No matter how many medicines
you have, tried for your cough, chest
cold, or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Circumcision.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take chance
with any remedy less potent than
Creomulsion, which goes right to
the seat Of the trouble and aids ma
ture to soothe and heal the infamed
mucous membranes and to loosen
and expel the gern1-laden phlegn.
Even If other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money il you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained from the very first
bottle. Creomulsion is one word
two, and 1t has no hyphen In 1t.
Ask for it plainly, see that the name
on the bottle is Circumcision, and
you'll get the genuine product and
the relief you want. (Adv.)

Potatoes for Short Cakes.-Hot,
boiled and mashed white potatoes
are good in making short cakes
and buildings. They not only save
flour, but require less shortening.
Removing Scorch Marks. -
Scorch marks can be removed
from linen by boiling together the
juice of an onion, one ounce full
lers' earth, one-quarter ounce
shredded soap, and one teacupful
vinegar. Allow the paste to dry
on, then brush off and wash in the
usual way.
Grab Apple Jelly. - Take one
pint of water to every pound Of
apples, and boil until soft. Then
put through jelly-bag. Allow one
pound Of sugar and tablespoon
full of vinegar to every pint Of
liquid, and boil for half an hour or
until it jellies.
Cleaning Enameled Sinks. -
Those stubborn dark streaks
which accumulate on enameled
sinks and bathtubs can be re-
moved with kerosene.

When Peeling Small Onions
Cover small onions with hot wa

They Can't Follow Rules

Most people who are in jail are
there because of defective judg-
ment-on their part.
The resolution hardest to keep:
To hold your tongue.
A cackling laugh is not SO cack-

Ought two people with the same

He eased himself nicely out of

to him in the stu

after Mussolini seized power. He is
a gentle, scholarly man, hesitant in
speech, giving one the impression of
wide tolerance and understanding.
Quite astonishing was his brass
throated warning to the world, as
II Duce's sounding board. He talks
like Charles Evans Hughes and
writes like General Johnson.
He is accepted in Europe as
merely Mussolini's Charlie McCar-

a ventriloquist's dummy. One Of
the most powerful and brilliant jour-
nalists in Italy, he helped build the
first scaffolding of fascism, and has
been one of it's cleverest rational
izers.
He is at his best in what appears
to be scholarly condemnation of
democracy and exaltation of
fascism. But his journalistic alter
ego is an expert dynamiter, and all
II Duce has to do is to stick out his
chin to get a devastating blast
from Signor Gayda's typewriter.
