Saxony's diet has prevented
gratification of the agreement
between Frederick August and
»the state whereby all the royal
* Properties were disposed of:
£c4nFequentljr the former king

£afd has come to an under-
sbinding with the ^bourgeois
^.parties who 1 want to give the
tamer royal at galleries In
P Dresden to the Dresden Cultur
al Foundation so that the state
.* cannot dispose of the art.
* fUnder this arrangement It

* na dl Slate" and more than two
t liousnnd other paintings are
Included In these treasures as
well os great collections of
Jewels, engravings and porce

* Pigs do very well In the par-
* lor* in Bavaria. For weeks the
newspapers printed stories of
oPe such animal that had grown
’of wooderous sire In the house
it n Johannes Rank, near tho vil
lage of Toepen. and so many
. letters and postcards of Inquiry
reached Herr Rank that he pub-
#ll»hod the following announce
ment: '»
"I will reply to all Inquiries
that the pig Peter is 2 and 3-17
meters long and weighs five
hundred kilograms. Peter Is
well trained of perfectly clean
habits and is visited by many
l>ersons. With kind regards,
Johnnncss Rank, farmer.’ '
While Paris and Berlin may
shake their political fists In
each other’s faces the Germans
and French are agreed at least
upon one thing and that is that
the butterfly has the keenest
sense of »me|| of any living
creature.
The marvelous smelling pow-
ir of the Purple Emperor, the
Zebra Swallowtail, the Paint
ed Lady and other specie* is
so acute and operates at such
long range that It Is almost
Inconceivable to the average
person considering the min
uteness of the butterfly's olfac
tory apparatus. In a hook
written hy Dr. Kurt Floerlcke,
one of Germany's best known
naturalists, the writings of the
French entomologist Fabre are
quote'd at length. Prof. Fabre
citing new French authorities
to pro^e that the butterfly's
sense of smell Is astounding.
With a view to solving the
servant problem Frauleln Hel
ena Schnmhurg of Weimar who
has nn Independent income,
has resorted to newspaper ad
vertising to find herself a good
husband who can also cook and
act ns housemaid.
Helena promises to provide, a
furnished apartment and every
thing. She alleges that women
servant* eat too much and that
many of them are unreliable.
Her advertisement reads in
part:
“Up-to-date, good looking wo-
mnn with! profitable business
desires the acquaintance of a
strong young man who Is edu
cated In domestic science and
willing to do house work, as
well as look after the kitchen.”

Do You Save
. Enough?
RANKERS say that saving money is largely a matter of habit—
of systematically putting away something every pay day—of
consistently thinking in terms of thrift.
The bankers are right But remember that thrift embraces
buying as well as saving. It is “penny wise and pound foolish”
to save by scrimping and yet spend money needlessly in making.
your every-day purchases.
. * *
Has it ever occurred to you that every day you can save some
thing simply by reading the advertisements in this paper? Do
you realize that the advertisements tell you just where and when
to buy to advantage—that they tell you how to avoid regrettable
expenditures.
Thrifty folks realize that advertising has reduced the selling
costs of thousands of factories and stores. Many of the things
that today count as necessities or simple luxuries could not be
sold at anything like their present prices had not advertising
created a broad market for them. It has made millions of sales
at small profit where otherwise there would be thousands of sales
at large profit per sale.
So, you owe a great deal to advertising. And you owe it to
yourself to read advertising.
Advertising Helps You Save Money

the same title without doubt tpo
greatest comedy of Its kind ever
produced •
Made on the same extensive
scale a* n picture of the more serl*
nun side of life, this farce comedy
is something more thnn a hodge
podge of gags. It is a plausible,
convincing story, ludicrous in the
extreme yet not overdrawn.
Everyone who enjoys n laugh
will enjoy nnd appreciate “Her
Temporary ’ Husband.”
The story treats with ft girl who
must marry within twenty-four
hours to earn a fortune. Eag*r
for the money but not for the. hus
band that goes with It, the girl
plans to marry an <rtd man who !*
expected to live more ttytn
few months. •
She goes through with the ce:
many, later to find that fhe *!
she marries Is very# very ,t uch

delighted with this latest screen

whom he can love, nnd as .the final
day approaches and Tom still re*
mnins unclaimed. It liecome* evi
dent that the entire estate will go

How the Roekwood family work*
to have Tom fall 4n love, forms
the meat of the story. At the last
