Old To© Soon
Pity the poor men and women who always
feel tired and sluggish—who grow old too
soon—never knowing the real thrill of
complete health and vitality.
Recapture that old time zest in life, that
keen appetite, stamina, and sweet sleep at
night. Take Fellows’ Syrup, the wonderful
tonic for weakness, “nerves,” and “run-
down” conditions. It replenishes the sys-
tem with the valuable elements demanded
by Nature. It- aids you to regain youthful
energy and vitality and—doubles your
benefits, and awakened interest
living, are quickly evident after the
first few doses. Be sure to ask your drug-
gist for the genuine Fellows’ Syrup, which
doctors prescribe.

SYRUP
One of Carnegie’s Boys
All the world knows the story of
the building of the great bridge
across Sydney harbor, in Australia,
the greatest bridge in the world,
some claim, which cost £6;000,000.
Lawrence Ennis, the man in charge
of the construction, has had a career
almost as romantic as the bridge
itself. At the age of eleven he was
working in the coal pits outside
Edinburgh. Emigrating to America
at the age of sixteen, he eventually
Qualified as an engineer, and some
successful patents brought him to
the notice of Carnegie, whose em-
ployment he entered. From then on
his rise in the engineering world was
.rapid. From pit-boy to bridge builder
■is no mean achievement for one of
the great army of the world’s self-
taught geniuses.
LINCOLN SAID
'"'‘You can fool some of the people
all of the time, and all of the people
some of the time, but you cannot
fool all of the people all of the
time.” Lincoln was right. The pub-
lic wants facts, not fallacies. The
fact that more than nine million
boxesof St.Joseph’s Genuine Pure
Aspirin have been sold in one single
year is conclusive proof that thou-
sands of people now realize that it
is neither sensible nor necessary to
pay more than 10c for one dozen
tablets of genuine pure aspirin. Be-
cause doctors, druggists and the
public know that “St.Joseph’s” As-
pirin is as genuine and as pure as
money can buy, it is now the largest
selling pure aspirin in the world for
10c. Why pay more? Never say,
“gim’me some aspirin.” Be safe,
be sensible and ask your druggist
for St.Joseph’s Genuine Pure As-
pirin. It meets every government
standard—it’s genuine pure aspirin
if it bears the name “St.Joseph’s.”
Jazz in Japan
Japanese jazz, founded upon the
American article, has been raging in
the islands of the Rising Sun. Edu-
cators and thinking persons of the
country are becoming alarmed at the
declining demand for the “gunka” or
soldiers’ war songs and the “Shoka,”
or Japanese school songs. Students
of Japanese schools and colleges
everywhere are organizing bands and
orchestras, and almost every Jap-
anese citizen goes about humming or
whistling some popular air.

CHANGE
OF LIFE
ijob over fifty years,
1* women have been
taking Cardui for trou-
bles like Mrs. M. C.
Weatherford, of Tahle-
quah, Okla., describes
below: “I had spells
(during change of life)
when I could not stand
up. I had the headache
all the time. I was dizzy
and had attacks of nau-
sea. I read about Car-
t dui, so I got a bottle to
try. It helped me so
much that I continued to take it un-
til I was entirely past the critical
period of ray life. I have given Car-
dui to my girls. It has been a won-
derful medicine in my home.”

Mrs. H. I. Pratt in Her Prize Winning Garden
When 650 delegates, representing 111 garden clubs from Maine to California, attended the annual meeting
of the Garden Club of America at Glen Cove, L. I., Mrs. Harold Irving Pratt, president of the North Country Gar-
den club of Long Island, entertained the guests at tea and at the same time her garden of azaleas and tulips was
adjudged the best in achievement for 1931. For this honor Mrs. Pratt received the Emily B. Renwick medal.

JOCKEY IS WEALTHY
Although George H. Bostwick is a
millionaire in his own right, the
young society man nevertheless risks
his neck daily during the racing sea-
son by riding as a jockey in the
steeplechase events. He is considered
not only the best amateur or gentle-
man rider, but the best of any class
including the professional brush-top-
pers, too. Last year Bostwick was
one of the leading candidates for the
United States international polo team,
losing his place with the hard-riding
four by only a narrow margin.
ON FEDERAL RESERVE
W. W. Magee, newly appointed mem-
ber of the federal reserve board, pho-

department shortly after he had as-
sumed his new duties.
Saw-Toothed Grasses
Fatal to Wild Animals
To the poet’s eye a dewy blade of
grass may be a “gleaming sword,”
but the similarity escapes the more
practical eye of the elk, the deer, and
the moose. These unsuspecting ani-
mals frequently learn, however, and
painfully so, that a clump of grass
may be only a “sheath of spears”
disguised as forage.
The biological survey of the De-
partment of Agriculture finds that
the sharp, saw-toothed seed parts of
the squirreltail grass and other sim-
ilar grasses on the western ranges
cause the death of many elk, deer
and moose. The needlelike tips of
the seed cases pierce the tender'
membranes in the animals’ mouths.
The jagged edge of the seed case re
sembles a porcupine quill, and after
it has penetrated the lining of the
mouth, every effort of the animal
to get rid of it results only in fur-
ther embedding the seed into the tis-
sues. These injuries may become in-
fected and lead to abscesses and
eventually to death. Occasionally
an animal is found dead from starva-
tion because a great wad of grass
lodged in one cheek had made it
impossible for the animal to eat.
The biological survey is attempt-
ing to eradicate such objectionable
grasses from thp elk refuge in Wy-
oming and from the Sullys hill game
preserve, North Dakota; where the
trouble has been in evidence.
World Rewards Genius
Who Perfected “Zipper”
The “zipper” fastening, composed
of intermeshing teeth, which is now
made use of in many ways, was the
invention in 1914 of Gideon Sund-
back, a Swedish engineer working in
the United States. It was first sug-
gested as a safety device for pockets
and then applied to tobacco pouches
and finally to children clothing,
shoes, spare wheel covers, handbags,
suntents and many other purposes,
and the end is not yet in sight. Its
use has spread over the 'entire world.
It is manufactured by the mile in
the United States, Canada;- Austria,
France and Germany.
Several previous efforts were made
to devise such a fastener. One was
the subject of a patent granted 40
years ago. A wealthy company was
formed to perfect and exploit the in-
vention, but the design was lacking
in some particular and its operation
was unreliable, and so far as that
effort went the thing was a failure.
The shortcoming was subsequently
remedied by SundSack, and he is now
reaping a rich reward.

“None of my food' agreed
with me — I would frequently
taste what I ate, long after my
meals, and I did not see a well
day for weeks,” says Mr. Peter
Seeger, 329 S. Elmwood St*
Kansas City, Mo. “I began tak-
ing a pinch of Black-Draught
after each meal, and kept this up*
for weeks. Gradually the pain
left me and I began to feel better.
I ceased to be troubled with gaafe
and could eat what I liked.”

Son’s Idea Not Exactly
What His Father Meant
“Girls aren’t the shy, tim-id crea-
tures they used to be,” said Fred-
erick Lonsdale, the English play-
wright, at a dinner in Hollywood.
“An elderly man and his son went
to a charity bazaar. A pretty girl
was selling kisses at a dollar apiece.
The father said:
“ ‘Tackle her, boy. Kiss her. But
I bet you can’t make her scream.
Golly, how I used to make ’em
scream when I was your age.’
“The son smoothed his hair and
straightened his necktie. Then he
disappeared in the crowd that sur-
rounded the girl. In a minute or
two there was a loud scream. Scream
followed scream as the young fellow
pushed out of the crowd and swag-
gered back to his father.
“‘Was it you that kissed her?’ said
the old man.
“ ‘Sure,’ said the son.
“ ‘Well, you made her scream all
right. I thought they’d got beyond
screaming. How oil earth did you
do it?’
“ ‘I kept my dollar.’ ”—Detroit
Free Press.
“Forceful Feeding” Cows
Feeding vitamin D to children by
proxy, as it were, has been accom-
plished by adding yeast which has
been exposed to ultra violet rays to
the diet of cows. This is intended to
increase the rieket-preventing prop-
erties in the cows’ milk for the use
of infants. Cod liver oil, which of it-
self prevents rickets in man, proved
unsatisfactory in experiments on
cows at Wisconsin agriculture sta-
tion because it lowered the secretion
of butterfat. In summer cows’ milk
contains more of vitamin D than in
winter, so that the proper addition
of irradiated yeast to the animals’
daily rations in cold weather brings
the needed element up to the proper
proportion.
Coffee Pavements
“We may pave roads with coffee
some day,” predicts Henry Ford in
an interview quoted by the American
Magazine. “In fact, that :s only one
of the miracles that will eventually
bring relief to agriculture. When we
can make good use of everything
that is left over in farm products,
we can solve the farmer’s financial
difficulties once and for all.”

End of Mother Earth,
as Scientist Sees It
A remote age when there will be
no water on the hot side of the earth
continuously facing the sun,, while
the earth’s revolution around.the sun
goes on unceasingly is predicted by
Dr. W. J. Spillman, consulting spe-
cialist of the Department 6t Agri-
culture.
“The time will come,” he said, “per-
haps some billions of years from
now, when the eai’th will make one
rotation on its axis while it is revolv-
ing around the sun, with the same
side toward the sun all the time.
At the center of that sun-swept tide,
where the sun will stand direetly
overhead all the time, it will be boil-
ing hot, and on the other side of the
earth the temperature will, be around
50 degrees b"low zero, and the condi-
tions will stay that way for an
time.”
Nothing great was ever achieved
without enthusiasm.—Emerson.
