LITTLE SPRUCE GUM USED
As a gum-chewing nation, America
has gone soft, boasts the only sur
vivor of what once was a leading in
dustry in Maine, the making of
spruce gum. The Indians taught
settlers the value of the gum from
the spruce tree. But moderns turned
many years ago to flavored gnms
that chew with less exertion. The
spruce gum crop in Maine used to
total 150 tons yearly. This was
worth $300,000. Now, however, the
harvest amounts to four to six tons.
Do this 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 symp
toms 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 ener
gies of a young animal! They eat!
They gain ! They keep well!
It’s not the stomach, but the
bowel condition that keeps children
from eating. But the trouble is in
the lower bowel —the colon. Cali
fornia syrup of figs is the only
“medicine” that is needed to stimn
tate the colon muscles. The very
next day, your child is eating bet
ter and feeling better. Keep on with
the syrup of figs a few days and
you will see amazing improvement
in appetite, color, weight and spirits.
Any drug store has the real Cali
fornia syrup of figs, all bottled, with
directions. Nature never made a
nicer acting or nicer tasting laxa
tive. (It is purely vegetable.) Re
member California syrup of figs
when sickness, a cold or any upset
has clogged a child’s bowels.
WARNING: Even when it's some
thing to give children, some stores
will try to substitute. So be sure the
bottle says CALIFORNIA. Syrup
o; Figs.

even if he knows he isn't.

Roosevelt’s Courage
Japan and the League
When That Fist Swings
Strange Cheating
The country rejoicing at Governor
Roosevelt’s escape, finds additional sat
isfaction in the fact that statements
by the Miami police show the shooting
was the act of a madman, not the ex
pression of any fanatic class hatred.
The man who fired the shot with
such disastrous effects, but, fortunate
ly, without injuring the President-
Elect, talked at random.
“I like Roosevelt as a man. but I
kill all Presidents. I don’t kill police:
they work for a living. After na
operation, I have bad pains in my
stomach. I hate the rich and power
ful that oppress the poor, etc."
Admirable was the courage of Mayor
Cermak of Chicago, with whom the
whole country sympathizes. After the
bullet had struck him. inflicting a most
dangerous wound, his first words, ad
dressed to Governor Roosevelt, were:
“I am glad It Is I, and not you."
Admirable also was the coolness of
Governor Roosevelt. After five bul
lets had been fired at him. he stood
erect in his automobile and shouted,
to reassure rhe angry crowd: “I am
all right.”
Secret service men urged speeding
away from the scene, as fast as pos
sible. Governor Roosevelt ordered his
car to stop, took Mr. Cermak on the
seat beside him, on the way to the
hospital.
The League of Nations says to
Japan: “Get out of Mnnchukuo.”
Japan says, In polite, Oriental phrase:
“Mind your own business.”
Japan says to China: "Get out of
Jehol." China replies: “I shall not,”
and makes threats.
The League of Nations also makes
threats.
Presently the world will know what
! the threats amount to. and what they
I amount to will probably not be much.
Primo Carnera from Italy hit Schaaf
from Boston and Schaaf died. Schaaf
was well named; Schaaf, in German,
means “sheep.” Carnera in training
weighed 264% pounds, is 6 feet 5%
Inches tall, and his arms reach exactly
7 feet. Schaaf weighed 207% pounds,
| stood 6 feet 2 Inches. His reach was 6
j feet 3 inches. An arm weighing 40
I pounds, with a hand as heavy as a
! horse’s hoof swinging around, is as
dangerous as a swinging boom on a
sailboat. And when it comes at you
in a straight Une. with the weight of
a 264%-pound body back of it, it is
more dangerous.
New, interesting kind of cheating at
Monte Carlo, where the big Casino
looks down on the blue Mediterranean.
An international gang of ten in collu
sion with croupiers marked cards for
trente et qnarante (“thirty and forty")
with invisible Ink. The swindlers
wore special glasses that made the Ink
visible to them only, a new use for
chemistry. Some of the gang are in
jail.
Another set of cheaters long ago
conspired to squeeze compartments
on the roulette wheel, each a fraction
of an inch, making the odd number
openings wider than the even num
bers; then they bet on odd numbers;
and broke the bank. Now, when one
of the numerous "banks" breaks, sol
emn gentlemen in white neckties come
with a wheel of steel, to test all
wheels on the tables.
In New York a boy of fifteen, In-
I spired by examples of our bootleg-
I crime-era, had an Idea. He killed an
: other boy of twelve, because he
I thought the other boy had “told on
I him.” First he offered to show the
I younger lad just how he planned to
■ tie a man up, then rob him. When he
had tied the twelve-year-old boy with
| rope, and made him helpless, he
, stabbed him to the heart and killed
: him.
In Kansas City, Mr. Donaldson
j bought an old book, opened it, and
’ two SSO bills dropped out.
A man who has sold more copies
j of a great encyclopedia than any oth-
I er salesman, once said: “I could have
i put SSO in the middle of any volume,
| come back in ten years, and find my

Many buy, few read books.
Frank Hague, energetic mayor of
i Jersey City, wants Mr. Moore, gover
■ nor of New Jersey, to demand “vol
; untary suspension of mortgage fore
| closures for at least two years.”
Governor Moore will ask mortgage
i holders to "adopt the idea." Many
i mortgagees will not like it, but if
i taxes and interest are paid, it Is wiser,
j in some cases, to keep the mortgages
than take over the property.
The little navies of Peru and Colom
bia are fighting, and won’t last long
If it be true that airplanes are drop
ping bombs on the gunboats.
The commander of Colombia’s planes
"came valorously and attacked the
enemy Peruvian planes, forcing them
to retire." Crowds in the streets ap
plauded frantically.
We had that frantic applause in our
streets before 1918.
We might not have applauded so
“frantically” had we known that it
was to cost us a hundred billions of
dollars and the present depression.

St. Louis county road. One of the
men was killed outright and the other
died three hours later in the St. Louis
count.v hospital.
One of the men was identified
through finger prints as Jack Butler,
sentenced to the Missouri penitentiary
from Jackson county for grand lar
ceny and discharged, upon commuta
tion of sentence, after serving from
December 4, 1930. to August 11. 1932.
Deputy Constable Charles Bradley

county jail. Bradley was in a patrol
car in rear of the automobile occupied
by the two under arrest and Lazear.
The wounded officer was shot in the
left arm.
Authorities here said the dead men
met the description of the Indiana
bank robbers and that in their car
they found a bag containing $4,600
cash thought to be part of the bank
loot.
The car bore license plates which
had been stolen from an automobile in
Kansas City, authorities said.

of Washington was robbed of $6,600
by two young men who clubbed two
employees who were slow in obeying

Robertson, the only man who ever
rose from the ranks of the British
army to receive the field marshal's
baton, died suddenly at his London
residence. He was seventy-two years
old.
His unparalleled military career was
climaxed during the World war when
he became chief of the imperial gen
eral stuff and was called the “brains
behind the war office.” He was cre
ated a baronet in 1919. thanked by
parliament for his war services, and
received a grant of $50,000. He was

organizer the army had ever known
with the possible exception of Lord
Kitchener.

GOLDEN TEXT—For the which cause
I also suffer these things: neverthe
less 1 am not ashamed: for I know
whom l have believed, and am per

PRIMARY TOPlC—Jesus Stilling a
Storm
JUNIOR TOPIC—With Jesus on a
Stormy Night.
INTHKMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—The Power of Jesus to Help.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—The Power of Jesus tv the World
Today.
I. Jesus Calms the Storm (4:35-41).
1. Crossing the sea (vv. 35, 36).
Weary with the teaching of the tiny.
Jesus proposed that they take a ship
to the other side of the sen. doubtless
to escape the crush of the multitude.
2. Overtaken by a storm (v. 37).
Violent storms are of frequent occur
rence on the Sea of Galilee. Even
though Jesus was in the boat with the
disciples they were overtaken by a
storm. It Is not God's will that we
should escape the storms, but those
who have Christ In their boat are safe
in any storm.
8. Jesus asleep In the storm tossed
boat (v. 38).) In the midst of the
turbulent elements he wns resting in
sleep. He who made the sen could
well He down and sleep, though the
storm violently raged. The believer
who lias committed his life, his time
and eternity to the will of God should
be able to he at peace in the midst
of all disturbances.
4. The terrified disciples (v. 38). Tn
their minds disaster and death await
ed them. They were not only terri
fied but chided Jesus for sleeping while
all were tn such great danger.
5. Christ’s rebuke (vv. 39, 40).
a. To the wind (v. 39). The pens
Ing of the wind demonstrated his
power over the elements of nature.
b. The disciples (v. 401. He re
buked them for their luck of faith.
6. The effect upon the disciples (v.
41). . A little while ago they were
afraid In the face of the storm; now
they are afraid In the presence of the
Lord.
11. Jesus Heals the Gadarene De
moniac (5:1-20).
Having calmed the storm-tossed sea,
, he now proceeds to calm the storm
tossed soul.
1. Met by a demon possessed man
(vv. 2-5). This man was In a des
perate condition. He was so fierce
that travelers could not safely pass
that way. He wore no clothes (Luke
8:27). No chains were strong enough
to hold him and no one was able to
tame him. In the night time his hid
eous cries could be heard while lie
vented his rage by cutting himself
with stones. Demon possession is com
mon today. As the coming of the
Lord draweth nigh these things will
Increase (I Tim 4:1).
I 2. What the demon knew about
j Christ (vv. 5-9). He knew that Christ.
I was the Son of God and that he had
| come to destroy the devil and his
I works. Among the demons there Is
no doubt as to Christ’s deity and the
coming judgment, facts which many
theologians and preachers say they
do not believe.
3. Christ’s pow^r to deliver from
the devil (vv. 10-13). He cast out the
demon from the man (v. 8). The de
mons quailed before Christ, not daring
to dispute his fiower, find begged to be
permitted to enter the swine. As soon
as the Lord gave them permission,
they entered the swine and hurled
them to destruction. In this destruc
tion of the swine Is a rebuke to the
Jews for Indulging In a forbidden
traffic.
4. The effect upon the people of the
city (vv. 14-17). The keepers of the
swine fled to the city and reported
what luid occurred. This miracle
brought the people out, hut when they
realized their hogs had been destroyed
they besought Christ to leave their
coasts. This Is indeed a Slid picture.
5. The man who was healed was
sent home to testify (vv. 18-20). No
doubt It would have been safe and
pleasant to abide with Jesus, hut the
man’s friends needed his testimony.
। The best witness for Christ Is one
I who has been saved by him. The best
place to begin that testimony is at
home where one Is best known.

Too Many People I
“Afraid of Snow” ;
I
Foolishness Not Confined i
to the Ignorant.
From Madrid, in Spain, comes
news of great excitement. For the 1
first time In the lives of many of
the population, it snowed.
Among the ignorant there was fear :
and trepidation. In the city house- 1
maids refused to go out to buy food. 1
Farmers thought their countryside 1
was cursed. And in El Retiro, '
Madrid’s chief park, the lions roared !
with indignation as a heavy snowfall 1
drifted in their open cages. For
blocks around their mournful notes
could be heard, adding an eerie back
ground to the fears of the ignorant.
The lust need not have been added
—for are fears not always on the
part of the ignorant, in some way or
other? That Is such blind, unreason- 1
ing fear of something that is sus
pected simply because it is new and
unknown?
Os all those so affected ay the
snow in Madrid, the only sensible
and logical ones were the lions. They
had something tangible and positive
to object to —the physical discomfort
of the cold wet snow on their beau
tiful coats which had been brought
up to expect only summer sunshine!
They were rational beings compared
to the humans who were afraid of
the snow simply because they had
never seen it before.
And if it seems fantastic or incom
prehensible that any human beings
should be so stupid, just look around
you and seo fearful people for whom :
there is less excuse than for the ig-

HAPPY little girl, just bursting
with pep, and she has never

Every child's stomach, liver, and
bowels need stimulating at times,
but give children something you
know all about.
Follow the advice of that famous
family physician who gave the
world Syrup Pepsin. Stimulate the
body’s vital organs. Dr. Caldwell's
prescription of pure pepsin, active
senna, and fresh herbs is a mild
stimulant that keeps the system
from getting sluggish.

Serious Complications and Often Make
You an Easy Victim For Epidemic.
Drive Out Your Cold Quicker With PENETRO, the
Deepest Penetrating, Most Effective Cold Salve
Ever Developed.
DON’T trifle with a cold. The more
the winter season advances, the
more treacherous colds become, the
more difficult they are to drive out.
With Epidemic so widespread it is
exceedingly dangerous to delay
knocking out your cold.
Serious complications often
develop overnight and then
your health and even your
life are endangered.
Thousands and thousands
of people in all parts of the
country are fighting colds
successfully with PEN ETRO,
the deepest penetrating,
most effective cold salve
ever developed. Because
PENETRO has a base of
highly refined mutton suet
(ordinary cold salves have bases of
mineral oil or petroleum —nothing
penetrates like mutton suet) it pene
trates deep within to carry its pow
erful cold-brcaking medication di
rectly to the seat of cold infection.
The chancer are you can prevent taking
cold altogether by applying PENETRO

stops the spread of germs and brings quick

know her. And the girl who assumes
bogies about the family she has not
met? Think of the mothers who work
up fears about any experience or ad
venture which their children crave—
simply because they are not familiar
with exactly what Is involved. Think
of the people who arc afraid to start
anything, to risk or venture any
thing, because of nameless fears,
undefined suspicions of nil the things
that "might happen.” Ah. no, those
ignorant humans who feared the
snow are not as incomprehensible as
nt first thought they may seem!

Syrup Pepsin. This gentle stimulant
will soon right things! The bowels
will move with better regularity
and thoroughness. There won’t be
so many sick spells or colds. You’ll
find it just as wonderful for adults,
too, in larger spoonfuls!
Get some Syrup Pepsin; protect
your household from those bilious
days, frequent headaches, and that
sluggish state of half-health that
means the bowels need stimulating.
Keep this preparation in the home
to use instead of harsh cathartics
that cause chronic constipation if
taken too often. You can always
get Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at
any drug store; they have it all
ready in big bottles.
• That’s why it drives out head, chest
: colds and breaks up congestion
: quicker and more effectively than
. anything you ever used before.
1 Mothers find PENETRO, the mutton
suet salve, of real benefit in break-
ing up congestion, soothing
flanimation, bringing quick
relief to croupy children.
PENETRO is clean and
easy to use. Docs not stain
or soil bed coverings or
sleeping garments. It con
tains costly ingredients of
known medical excellence.
1 Ask for it by name,
PENETRO, 25c a jar. The
50c Economy Size contains
3 times as much as the 25c
size. The $1 Family Size contains 7
times ns much as 25c size. Remember-
PENETRO penetrates 4 times deeper
to drive out colds quicker. Don’t
compare PENETRO with ordinary
cold salves. PENETRO stands alone.
