When remedy for unemploy-
ment is found, will idleness be
prohibited?
One of the, amusing pastimes is
to humor a highbrow.
A manly man still prefers the
woEaanly woman and vice versa !;
and don't make a mistake about
this.
Naughtiness is silly to those who
have arrived at the age of COM
mon sense.
Sincerity isn't always admired.
Invariably, there is sincerity in
fault finding.
If a big boy bully tricks the
small boys out of all their mar.
bles, you know why more and
more penitentiaries have to be
built from year to year.

How Often Should Your
Furniture Be Polished :?

Housewives differ on the ques-
ton of when, to polish their furni-
ture." Some have no set time for
it-polishing when they think Of it
or when, casting a glance about,
they decide that the furniture can
stand it." Others, polish every
cleaning day-which ordinarily
occurs once week. Others dedi-
cate but one day year to this
important procedure. And still
others, polish the furniture in
their home regularly, once a
month. This last group is the
largest-but their schedule is not
sufficiently frequent. Furniture
can not be polished too often!
True, the outward benefit of the
best oil polish-the luster-will
last through a single week-and
more-but this same polish, with
its light oil base, preserves and
"feeds" the furniture, revives it,
prolongs it's life! So that every
application is highly beneficial to
woodwork and the various pieces
of fine wood in the home. Our
advice, therefore, for the sake of
endurance, as we'll as appear.
ance, of your furniture, is ''polish
up" with a good oil polish at least
twice a month!

Famous Food Expert
To Conduct Feature

p EGINNING with this issue
- this paper is pleased to an
nounce a new series of articles
which we believe to be the
most original and up to date
food department in the country.
We wanted to offer a food
department that was live-in-
teresting-different. We wanted
to get away from the usual
"recipe column" We believe
the women of this community
are primarily interested in food
in its relation to health, in it's
effect on growing children. In
formation of this sort has usu-
ally been too scientific to be
understood by the average per-
son, but in this series it is pre-
scented in clear, understandable
language and applied so that it
will fit the average household.
C.. Houston Goudiss, famous
author, lecturer, and radio per-
sonality, will conduct this de-
partment each week. Many
housewives will want to make
scrapbooks of these articles.
Don't miss a single issue.

For Chest Colds

Distressing cold in chest or throat,
never safe to neglect, generally eases
up when soothing, warming Mus
terole is applied.
Better than mustard plaster,
Musterole gets action because it's
NOT just salve. It's "counter-
irritant"-s stimulating, penetrating,
and helpful in drawing out local con-
gestion and pain.
Used by millions for 80 years.
Recommended by many doctors and
nurses. All druggists. In three
strengths: Regular Strength, Chill
dren's (mild), and Extra Strong. APP
proved by Good Housekeeping.

The speed with which Bayer
tablets act in relieving the dis
tressing symptoms of colds and
accompanying sore throat is utter
ly amazing and the treatment
is simple and pleasant. This is all
you do. Crush and dissolve three
genuine Bayer Aspirin tablets in
one-third glass of water. Then
gargle with this mixture twice,
holding your head we'll back.
This medicinal gargle will act
almost like a local anesthetic on
the sore, irritated membrane of
your throat. Pain eases promptly;
rawness is relieved.
You will say it is remarkable.
And the few cents it costs effects
a big saving over expensive "throat
gargles" and strong medicines.
And when you buy, see that you
get genuine BAYER ASPIRIN.
