ductor. And they play mighty well, too.
 Strong in the string division, they lacked an oboe-and so 8 non-practitioner was sneaked in to fill the vital vacancy. But 1t looks as though the medical pro- fession in these parts has provid- ed for every other instrument in the symphonic group.
 Appropriately, the surgeons ex- eel at the piano and heart spec cialist stands over the timpani, carefully measuring each beat and rumble.
 One of these days, these med ico-musicians are going to get up enough nerve and hire Carnegie Hall or Town Hall and give a con- cert for the public, their awed patients included.
 DOUR COMEDIAN
 By this time, few are ignorant of the fact that Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson are the famous ''Hellzapoppin" team, the show with an estimated thousand laughs.
 But this is the joker out on deck: though Johnson can make millions of other folk hilarious, he has a difficult time faking 8 smile, when he isn't on the stage.
 The other day, at the photo grapher's, he tried for half an hour to evoke a grin that would look convincing.
 COPY CATS
 Mimicry is noble branch of satire and deserves applause when well achieved.
 Sheila Barrett draws laughter with her barbed impersonation of the f1ighty lassies of Park Avenue.
 Willie Howard places enough good-natured malice in his take offs of Eddie Cantor, Maurice Chevalier and George Jessel, to be hilarious.
 Agna Enters is a subtle artiste when she mimics some current folk foibles. And John Hoysradt has become 8 star at the same game.
 It has become so popular to i'm personate others that mimics have been a dime a dozen in New York. And nine in ten feel under com pulsion to give an ill-natured imitation of the radio voice of the President of the United States. Hoystradt is the only man I've ever heard who executes the Roosevelt voice with satire temp pered with respect.
 STAGE-STRUCK COP
 Patrolman John Jannings has patrolled the traffic beat opposite the once-glamorous Palace for two decades.
 Jennings, a genial arm of the law now, wanted to be an actor as a lad. But his did was cop and that is what John Jannings became. He is entitled to retire ment soon and expects to become 8 booking agent upon his with drawal from the force.
 For he would like to continue to pal around with actors. He has a foothold in most playhouses, for he often keeps his rubbers, rain- coat and similar paraphernalia backstage at various theaters and treasures season passes given to him by all the managers.
 The late Flo Ziegfeld was a good friend of his. Jannings once travelled all the way to Pittsburg to catch a performance of the Follies and tell the Great Glori- fer what he thought of it.
 George Gershwin gave him an Annie Oakley to the now-historic Carnegie Hall concert at which Rhapsody in Blue" was introduc- ed. Proud of his far-flung &C., quaintance among footlight folk, Patrolman Jannings says he knows as many actors as does venerable Bill Brady, dean of show men.

Finds Geld Nugget In
Duck

Sincere believers in the old adage
"gold is where you find it," j. w. T.
Finn, of Kenton, and Jack L.
Steele, of New Philadelphia, have
decided that Hardin county is as
good a place to search for the dull
yellow metal as any other county
around these parts.
What prompted them to start out
on a prospecting tour of the acres
around Kenton, was the gold mug
net found in a ducks gizzard Finn
was recently cleaning for market
AS far as can be determined, the
nugget was 'born and raised" in
Hardin county since the duck was a
tame one and not of the flying va
riety.

CONSTIPATED BUT
DIDN'T KNOW IT
NOT FREE OF SEVERE
HEADACHES AND STUFFED
HEAD FEELING FOR YEARS
Says Famous Worlds Tonic a
Boon

"Worlds Tonic has certainly been
a boon to me-" said Mr.. William
Rempe of 1922 w. Madison Ave., st.
Marys, Ohio. An important point in
his story is the fact that he failed
to realize he was constipated. Many
people have daily movements yet
may suffer from constipation. Waste
matter may cling to the walls of the
intestines, and especially in the colon,
while the decay breeds poisons and
the surprised victim often finds dis
ease resulting. Shotgun methods,
such as shooting liquids through
pipe, may clean the center but leave
the side walls with clinging wastes.
The Famous Worlds Tonic with
alkalines, is intended for thorough
and complete cleansing and when this
occurs, one often is overjoyed, to
find misleading symptoms of serious
disease vanishing. We continue with
Mr.. Rempe.
81 never dreamed that / was so
badly constipated. But facts are
facts and this unsuspected condition
brought on lot of distressing ills
for me. My stomach seemed always
in an uproar and | haven't been free
from severe headaches for years.
Burning sensations would come and
my breath was a caution. I'd get
sick to my stomach a lot and my
tongue often felt like a nutmeg
crater. Of late I'd catch colds with
the slightest change in weather and
| then the mucous condition would be-
come almost intolerable. My head,
mouth, nose and throat would be
full of it and I'd spit for hours,
especially in the morning.
Zone bottle of Worlds Tonic gave
me such thorough constipation re-
lief that I wondered how I managed
to live with all that poison in me.
Before | finished the six bottle course
all my constipation results were
| splendidly relieved. My stomach
feels cool and stimulated and I'm not
having any trouble holding food.
Without constipation | can avoid
colds better and that's blessing be-
cause it saves the vile mucous con-
dition and terrible breath"
Note Mr.. Rempe's reference to the
! laxative aid of Worlds Tonic in COM
mon cold prevention.
/ Worlds Tonic is good for young
and old. 1t contains no habit form
ing drugs or narcotics.
Get Worlds Tonic at Sidney's
Drug Shop and all other leading
Drug Stores. (F-2)-Adv.

Right Shoes Help
Young Feet TraUei

Shoes bought for children before
they are five years old may deter
mine how far those feet will travei
during life because many foot all
ments can be traced back to improp-
erlv fitted children's shoes, accord
ing to Edith Berry, clothing special
ist. Ohio State University.
Shoes for pre-school children al
ways should be chosen to permit the
normal development OF the chiids
feet. Plenty of room to avoid dis
torting bones in the feet is the tirst
essential in a child's shoe. Sizes at
least a half-inch longer than the
foot and a quarter-inch wider are
the minimum margin of safety.
Babies need no shoes; but if boot
les or stockings are provided for
warmth, they should be at least an
inch longer than the foot. Socks or
stockings should be worn several
weeks before the first shoes are
worn. If the stockings shrink, they
should be discarded to avoid the
chance of distorting the baby's feet.
Moccasin type shoes should follow
the stockings and bottles. These
help accustom the feet to coverings
and are slightly heavier than the
first footwear. Lightweight, pliable
kid moccasins with soft soles and no
heels are good selections.
Cushion sole shoes may be chosen
as the next type of child's shoe
These shoes usually are made of soft
kid and come in sizes from zero to
two. They aid in supporting the
bony structure of the foot but permit
the pads of muscles to assume their
normal forms.
Soft-soled shoes are best for babies
who reach the creeping age. These
shoes are made over right and left
lasts and are the first real shoes. The
soles are pliable enough to aid the
child in creeping.
Toddlers and children up to two
years old need shoe with a more
firm sole. Hard-soled shoes can be
worn by children from two to five
years old, but the shoe materials
| should be pliable enough to permit
normal foot growth. Kid, calf, and
elkskin are good feathers for this
type of shoe.
Children's shoes can be fitted best
if an outline drawing is made of the
feet while the child is standing bare
foot on a piece of paper. The out
line can be laid on the sole of a shoe
which is being inspected to make GER
tain that the shoes are longer and
wider than the foot itself. Allow at
least one-half inch safety margin in
length and one-quarter inch in width.
The instep of the shoe should be
high enough to permit develop of the
arch and to prevent pressure on the
foot. The child should be taught to
lace the shoes loosely enough to
avoid pressure. Shoes should hug
the heels snugly enough to prevent
the heel from sliding up and down.
Authorities have not reached an
agreement about whether high shoes
or low shoes are preferable, SO
mothers or children's choices may
be allowed to determine this point
The high shoes, of course, are warm
er so that is a point in their favor
for wear in cold weather.
