LAUNDRY ECONOMY By HI BY BAKER Poor quality of soap means a lazy worker in the tub. Tiny specks of dirt stay behind in the clothes. That soon turns your clothes gray. .Moreover. you have to rub harder and that actually shortens the life of your clothes. It’s more economical in the long run to pay for a high-grade reliable soap. It will save your clothes and you. Remember, too. that the color of soap has nothing to do with the whiteness of the clothes. It's washing ability that gets results. When you buy quality in a soap, ft does not matter in what form the soap comes. Quality is everything. To keep clean and healthy take Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets.

Do th is for Your Child in TWO WEEKS How to rid any boy or girl of sluggishness or constipation and build a big appetite. The trouble with children who will not eat is usual stasis. The symptoms are a tongue that’s always coated, bad breath, poor color, dull eyes that are often a bilious yellow. No appetite, no ambition—even for play. Hard to get to sleep, hard to wake in the morning. There’s an absolute remedy for this condition. It gives listless youngsters the appetite and energies of a young animal! They eat! They gain I They keep well I It’s not the stomach, but the bowel condition that keeps children from eating. But the trouble is in the lower bowel —the colon. California . syrup of figs is the only “medicine” that is needed to stimulate the colon muscles. The very next day, your child is eating better and feeling better. Keep on with the syrup of figs 4 few days and you will see amazing improvement in appetite, color, weight and spirits. Any drug store has the real California syrup of figs, all bottled, with directions. Nature never made a nicer acting or nicer tasting laxative. (It is purely vegetable.) Remember California syrup of figs when sickness, a cold or any upset has clogged a child’s bowels. WARNING: Even when it's something to give children, some stores will try to substitute.

J Repeal Will Open n Cells of Hundreds

? Convicted Liquor Violators 1 to Be Freed. Washington.—Before Christmas day dawns and as soon after December 6 as it can be managed there will occur an exodus of “prohibition prisoners” ’ from federal penitentiaries throughout the country without parallel since a Faris mob threw open the gates of the i Bastile and tossed a monarchy into the । discard. It is more than a possibility that the governors of many of the states which have been marking time so far on the release of prohibition law of ' fenders will follow in line with orders from Washington and free every man and woman convicted of crime under the wording of the Eighteenth amendment. The repeal of prohibition law is no longer a possibility but as certain as death or taxes. By December 6 the last of the necessary state ratifications will have been made —and a new leaf will be turned over where the book has lain open for 13 years. Will Use Common Sense. According to Attorney General Homer Cummings, “4 common sense attitude will be maintained in the department” in the matter of federal prisoners. He added that it might not be advisable to issue a blanket order for release, as many cases have other sides to them over and above the simple breaking of the prohibition law. Repeal also will bring demand for issuance of Presidential pardons for the thousands who have been sentenced over the last 13 years and who now are on parole. Already a number of those states which have voted to throw the Eighteenth amendment out of the Constitution have freed the men and women held in accordance with that law. In Michigan, Governor Comstock let out everybody. From Indiana, where there was until last November, a bone-dry law equaling that of Michigan in severity, comes I word that Governor McNutt lias re- | leased all persons held on simple liquor 1 charges and is giving consideration to i all transport and traffic charges. Leniency in Texas. “Ma” Ferguson, governor of Texas, is, on the advice and counsel of hus- : band Jim, who led the wets to victory, j following in the footsteps of Indiana and promising consideration to the I graver liquor charges after repeal is , an actual fact. Such leniency does not mean that the federal government intends to let j up on the arrest and prosecution of bootleggers after the ’“wenty-first amendment becomes effective. Beating the law after repeal means beating the tax laws, Mr. Cummings has gon? to some pains to make plain. The history of prohibition over 13 years shows the following violation tallies as far as the federal government alone is concerned: Persons to the number of 539,178 were convicted and fines of $75,358,000 were assessed.

In this era athletics are considered important for the good health of women as well as to men. Since it is not always possible for homemakers to devote hours to training, it may be well to suggest that there are such things as household athletics. These do not have the glamor which is present when a group of women don gymnasium suits and practice in a build-

ing or on grounds devoted to physical training. Nor are the exercises planned for the particular purpose of developing the human figure and making it strong. Nevertheless, t hey supply bending and twisting, straightening and spiral, stretching and crouching positions, etc., as decided as j those required in j athletics. Every homemaker can ■ take advantage of the in wi t h out | spending money | and to the advnn tage of her health | and her house.

Kungs of chairs, feet of tables, edges of lowi^t shelves of open bookcases, baseboards about ( walls, all these have to lie dusted and i hundreds of other low articles or parts I of them. The homemaker at the task I must bend, crouch, and straighten up ; again. There is exercise tor arms. ■ wrists, hands and also for legs and feet, for there Is more or less walking ■ about which must be done. Nor is , this all. The woman must streten | some to reach tops of doors, bureaus ; and other pieces of tall furniture. She may even have to stand on tiptoes thus developing the muscles of the feet. Exercise in Making Beds. When making beds the muscles of 1 arms, legs and back are brought into action, for here again there must be I more or less walking and stooping and then the arms are kept in constant movement when pulling covers up. ' smoothing them and tucking them in as every housewife knows. Doing the laundry work is less of I an athletic stunt than it used to be. ; if the electric washer is part of the | household equipment. But, even so. I there is some action requiring muscu- , lar movement. Ironing calls for arm i motion, and the continual lifting and I pushing back and forth of the iron ; calls into play the muscles of the back j as well as arms. It would be possible to go through j the whole category of household tasks, | viewing them in the light of their gymnastic values.

years ago, carrying with them Jewels and precious metals. The legend says that the Indians landed on Oak island and buried their riches in a deep tunnel running from the Atlantic ocean to the center of the island, and then vanished. The first traces of the treasure were uncovered in 1795 by three men who came upon a depression near a huge oak tree on the island and started to dig. They unearthed what appeared to be a huge pit constructed of logs, inadequate equipment forced them to quit. Since then six different treasurehunting companies have sunk shafts and dug in the vicinity of the oak tree, but misfortune dogged their steps and all were forced to abandon the quest because of lack of financial backing

vantages from them. For instance, when stooping, bend from the waist as often as it is possible, keeping the knees straight. When crouching low, squat, for this bends the knees and keeps them supple.

The saying quoted, ‘He that । hath, to him shall be given.” is indeed j true In this instance. By exercising whatever capacity of enjoyment we have, the more power for happiness is given to us. We are given perceptions, quick to note and to seize u(M>n things great or small which tend to increase- ! joy. Since happiness cannot exist j when detrimental to others not true happiness, the pleasure in it is to be treasured. It is said of some people’ that th.') have the "gift of happiness" or the “gift of enjoyment.” This is the result of having made the most of whatever capacity they hail. It is well to remember that this same thing is j true of unwelcome as welcome things i We* must stem whatever capacity for I unpleasant things lies within us. if we l would draw unto us gifts of happiness. । We must stress the good, we must note, daily, all. even the small things I which make for joy. ©. 1933.

It certainly is, if the new social order, now in the making, continues to be entirely iniluenced by size, bulk and monetary power. The present civilization has been largely developed upon the mistaken idea that quantity is Indicative of prosperity. Popular opinion • acclaims the most prosperous man ' lives in tlie largest house, the most successful business enterprise is lo- ■ cated in the most ostentatious building. The most important city is the ■, one which can Imast of the size of its parks, municipal buildings, bonded Indebtedness and the financial security I of its banks.

The permanence of our civilization, however, does not depend upon tl.ese possessions for the obvious reason that they all can be destroyed in the twinkling of an eye. In this respect again Doctor Mayo is right. What •guarantee have we then I against the destruction of our civiliza- ; tion?

Upon this mobile roost it will ’ ride the length of the yards, but it supplies its own motive power for the return trip. It flies back to the starting point and awaits the return of the engine. Then it goes for another ride, and seemingly never tires of what must be, to a p geon, odd ir^.isportation.

NEW DEAL ASKED FOR REMNANT OF WILD WATERFOWL “America’s wild waterfowl should have a new deal,” says Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the National Association of Audubon Societies. “Unless the best foresight, thought and honest convictions of conservationists and sportsmen of our land are speedily and effectively translated into action, there may yet be witnessed in this generation a cessation of hunting of wi’d fowl as a sport.” says Doctor I’ea. >n. “Those best acquainted with the past and present status of wild ducks and geese cannot but be profoundly convinced that there has been a steady decline in the fortunes of these birds; so great, that present numbers are but a pitiful remnant of the vast congregations which in former days thronged our lakes, bays, sloughs and marshlands. AH those who have at ■ heart the interests of native game birds should not forget that this decrease in our wildfowl carries a solemn warning and has a tragic eounI terpart in that of our shore birds which, at the beginning of the present century, had been so greatly reduced in numbers that upon passage of the Migratory Bird treaty act in 1918, only six species belonging tc this extensive group were permitted to be hunted; while today open seasons exist on only two of those birds, the Wilson's snipe and the woodcock.” In discussing the factors contributing to the decrease of wildfowl, Doctor Pearson listed them as follows : “The extensive draining ot lakes, ponds and marshes, with the accompanying spread of agriculture; the enormous increase of hunters, the amazing construction of highways, together with the almost universal use of motor cars, which has made quickly and easily accessible almost every part of the country, the use of the magazine shotgun, the custom of killing birds from baited shooting stands as well as other minor causes that are a part of the destructive processes of civilization.” —Detroit News.
