Mice No Longer Park on Cheese 1 OLD COUNTRY STORE ONLY MEMORY 4 Health Exposition Shows Model
BY NORA KAY. Fond memories of tha old country store where the family cat alept on the open sack of oatmeal and mice romped gaily over the cheese, are recalled at the exhibit of condemned and approved grocery stores. In dislay of the State board of health at the health show. The condemned store vividly reproduces the old-fashioned corner grocery, with its cases filled with an assorted collection of broken cookies, twists of strong tobacco, fast-drylng-up lunch ham and highly colored, jaw-breaking candies. Here the flies wipe their feet on the open boxes of dried fruits, the mouse, lu like-like reproduction, nibbles undisturbed on the stale cheese and a flannel “cat,” stuffed with sawdust, sleeps In the oatmeal, the board of health having been unable to train a real cat for the Job. Contrast with this Is the clean, well 'kept store where each kind of food Is kept In Its own glass-covered container. The bread is in waxed wrappers, the cheese under a mouse-defying glass cover and the entire food supply appetlzingly displayed and yet protected from dust, flies and family pets. HOUSEWIFES MAY SEE FRACD MEANS. Next to the grocery the health board has a department of weights snd measures, where housewives may see with their own eyes, some of the reasons why a quart of berries measures a little more than a pint, and a peck of potatoes weighs several pounds less than the approved fifteen. The.prlze of the collection is the five-gallon gasoline can with an inside container holding a gallon and a half less than tho supposed five, which brought Its owner a substantial extra profit, declared the officer In charge, until It fell into the hands of tho weights and measures department. Then there Is the peck measure with Its bottom well spiked with nails on which half a dozen big potatoes stick firmly and are carried back to the wagon Instead of landing in the housewife’s basket. False bottoms are to be seen in every variety of measure, from the wooden box, to the white lined granite cup. filled for half an inch with plaster to cut down Its capacity.
and a peanut scoop that looks like a pint on the outside proves to hold about a small handful on the Inside. "And to think that women are that easy to fool!’’ lamented one visitor, after viewing the forty-seven or more ways of cheating the trusting public. RHEUMATISM “CURES” ANOTHER FRAUD. "Women are not the only easy ones/' consoled the man in charge of the booth. “Just let me show you some of the rheumatism cures In which old Uncle John puts his trust and how much moro he pays for them than they are worth. Here's one that sells for $1 that contained about two cents worth of gasoline. I can’t say what It would do for rheumatism, but I'll guarauteo that It will sure warm you up If you apply it near an open flame.” "Here's a supposed cure for tuberculosis made by an ex-houso painter. The Ingredients in it are butter, almond oil and turpentine. All of them didn't cost more than 25 cents, but It has been selling for $5 to poor deluded victims who believe It will cure them of consumption.” PRIZE WINNER IN LIST OF FRAUDS. The winner among the "nothing much for something” list, however, Is a talcum powder and sal-soda combination, guaranteed to develop your angles Into curves and your wrinkles Into dimples, all for ten dollars a package. Then there Is the | balm for the too-fat, a cream made of | five cents worth of soft soap, retailing under tho name “Fatoff Cream'’ for a dollar and a half. One truthful manufacturer, who seeiiis to be striving to live up to Geofge Washington's cherry treo speech, has named his tenth-of-cent's worth of salt, "Saline” glowingly describes It as "a natural mineral product” and charges only twenty-fivo hundred times the actual value of his product to the ultimate consumer.

The term by-product is susceptible of misinterpretation. In the manufacturing activities of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) there are no by-products. The making of every product is a separate activity. Each is made to conform to a predetermined standard, and is judged strictly on its merits as a primary product Lubricating oils made by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) conform to a standard fixed by lubricating engineers to meet the needs of various types of machinery. The standard being fixed, it is necessary to obtain crude oil of the particular type best adapted to yield the lubricating units which will conform to this standard. There are many kinds of crude petroleum, each differing one from the other. Even between the oils delivered by different wells in the same field a considerable variance has been noted. One kind of crude oil will yield a maximum of lubricating oil of fine quality; another may Sield little, or none, of these fractions, ut will yield a maximum of gasoline. In selecting crudes for lubricants, for instance, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been careful to choose those which have the physical characteristics necessary to maintain the correct lubricating body under working conditions. These crudes are then carefully processed and refined to produce the long line of lubricants manufactured ana sold by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Their manufacture is a business in itself. From the choice of materials which go into them, down to the last operation of refining, they are of primary consideration. This care in the selection of raw materials; every step of the refining process, and the fact that products manufactured by this Company are of superior quality is recognized generally. This is evidenced by the fact that during 1921 nearly 25 million gallons of Polarine, the Perfect Motor Oil, were needed to supply the demand. So with every product refined by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Each is made to perform a certain service, and each goes to the consumer with the unqualified guarantee of this Company that it is exactly as represented and that it will give a maximum of service, at a price which is fair to all.

"Neither Is the milk kept sweet with formaldehyde or the tomato catsup preserved with benzoate of soda, as was the case before the health board took up the fight against such practices. "Here’s another of the things we had to reform,” he added. , holding up a bottle of chocolate-colored candy fancifully molded Into turtles, fish and rabbits. “This Is the sort of stuff that used to be made up out of scraps, from the candy machines, stale candles that did not sell In their original form, and even scraps that were swept up from tho floor of the candy factory. They melted It up, molded It Into forms that would attract the children, gave It a shining coat of shellac and used It to lure the children’s pennies Into tho dealer’s cash drawer —to give the doctor plenty of business, too. All that is changed now, however.” “Well, I’m glad for my children that It Is," remarked one Interested woman; “but I wonder now how we ever lived to grow up!” Washington Briefs | WASHINGTON, May 23.—Woodrow Wilson was enabled to re-live personal memories of Paris and Versailles In consequence of a visit from Philip Kerr, David Lloyd George’s war-time private secretary. Mr. Kerr went to S street to pay a call of respect upon the stricken Democratic sage with whom official duties in France in 1918-1919 brought him in frequent and Intimate contact. The joung English statesman found Mr. Wilson, despite physical distress, verilemlnded, amazingly abreast of current events and eagerly Interested In the affairs of tho world at home and abroad. His caller gathered tho definite Impression that Mr. Wilson's faith In the league remains unshaken and unshatterable. It Is a thousand pities that Secretary Hughes' Important speech before the United States Chamber of Commerce wits, to a certain extent, blanketed by President Harding's address to the same body earlier. In some respects It was one of the most Important pronouncements on foreign affairs yet publicly made by Mr. Hughes. The Secretary of State’s main intent was to “sell" the State Department to the American commercial community.

Class, What Know Ye of Fleas? HARK! WHILE EXPERTS ELUCIDATE Hast Ever Heard of Flea Specialist?
To tho mind of most laymen, a flea ls a flea, but there are different denominations among fleas, says Harry F. Delta, assistant State entomologist, who has received numerous complaints recently from residents of various parts of Indianapolis. According to Mr. Deltz there are some 145 distinctly different kinds of fleas, Including the “human" flea. Mr. Deitz does not believe that the flea that has become a very annoying pest In some of the very best families In the city ls the "human" flea, but the "cat and dog” variety, and takes issue with Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city sanitary officer, who reported that the fleas which have become so pesky are “human” fleas. “Dr. Morgan may be right,” Mr. Deltz HOLD ’EM! WASHINGTON, May 23—The staid old United States Senate was thrown into an uproar today wlten a verbal clash between Senator Phipps, Republican of Colorado, and Senator Tom Watson, Democrat of Georgia, was prevented from becoming a physical encounter only through tile intervention of mutual friends. As It was, the two Senators, hotly expostulating, rushed from the floor to “fight It out” In the corridor. Friends reached them In time to prevent blows from being exelianged. x J

said today, “but tha fleas of which I have received complaints are tha cat and dog variety. People who let the cat or the dog sleep in the house are going to continue to be bothered with these Insects.” Fleas in such numbers as to cloud tha atmosphere have been reported by sev- ; eral persons in some localities. In ad- : dition to the cat-and-dog flea, which ls the most numerous, and the- human flea, there are the stick-tlte flea, the hog flea and the chicken flea, Mr. Deltz says. “Many persons are ashamed to have It \ known that they are being troubled with fleas,” Mr. Deltz declared, "but the fact that they are bothered with fleas does not mean they are unclean. 1 am not surprised that fleas are numerous now. Tha weather we have been having ls good for them.” Joy Riders Take and Abandon Cars Joy riders ttfok two automobiles last night and later the cars were found deserted in the downtown streets. *Clifton H. Scott, living at the Hotel Edward, reported his coupe stolen from Washington street and Capitol avenue. The car was later found on Washington street near Illinois street. Joseph J. Herbert, ■ 509 North New Jersey street, told tha police his automobile was stolen from Washington street near Pennsylvania street. The car was found later on a downtown street.
