Mardi Gras Ruled by Muriel and Mogul The queen of the Council Bluffs Mardi Gras will appear as the lady of the Muriel cigar advertisement, while the king will be the lordly gentlemen who attracts attention to Mogul fruit, it was learned yesterday. Twenty-five women, led by Mrs. Franklin P. Wright were busy all day yesterday plastering the Coun cil Blues auditorium with bills and posters and expected to have their task finished by this afternoon. They were directed by Edward B. Edwards, professional decorator, who volun teered his services to assist the Mardi liras. The "billboard ball" idea is to be carried out In the decorations as well as the costumes, every inch of the ballroom being covered with ad vertisements ranging from the largest posters down to small handbills. A rehearsal of the coronation cere mony, complete except, for costumes, took place at the auditorium last night. Forty-seven persons will be on Hie stage when the ceremony closes, including the new and the past sov ereigns, the maids and attendants for both pairs of monarchs. Mrs. Alice Earenfight and Jackson R. Day, roigning king and queen, have as stated in planning and coaching for the details of this year's ceremony. The coronation will take place at fl tonight, and no one will be allowed to enter the building during the cere mony. Guests and dancers are there fore urged to be present promptly. _._ ■■■>». I Adele Garrison i “My Husband’s Love” Mrs. Bird Was Thorough in Her Cross-Examination. My answer to Mrs. Bird s ques tions was prompt. "Just as we were turning in at the gate a mounted policeman passed up and slowed down rather abruptly. He did not stop, but my brother-in-law told me that, he looked searchlngly at our license plate.” "Did he get your number?” Mrs. Bird queried crisply . "My brother-in-law thought so," I replied. "Of course he might have beer looking for speeders who had es caped,” she said thoughtfully. "That Is what Dr. Braithwalte said." T interposed. “And then, again, he might not,” 1 she retorted, a trifle tartly. “XVell, at any rate. I'll know by tonight whether or not there's any inquiry nut for the children in police circles. I have a brother on the force. In the meantime—when does their ship sail?" "Day after tomorrow." She made a clicking little noise with her teeth, expressive of extreme disapprobation. "Too long a time to wait for this sort of thing,” she commented. “Any especial reason for taking this parti cular boat?” “Don’t Misunderstand Me.” “I do not think so,” I returned, “t fancy Mrs. Underwood thought It was the earliest one they could get.” "Perhaps it Is,” she hedged instant ly—Lillian's name evidently was an effective stop to criticism—"hut it will do no hurt to make a few in quiries and if there should he a chance to get passage on a ship leav ing tomorrow or even tonight, I be lieve It would be a good thing to take it." I suppose my face reflected my star tled dismay at the uneasiness which I thought must be behind her haste >o get us off, for she shot a shrewd look at me. "Don't misunderstand me." she said. "I haven't any especial reason for fearing any Interruption to your plans, but long experience In getting people out of tight places has made me wary of any unnecessary delay. Another thing. Have you anything to do—shopping for Instance—before you as 11?" "I am not sailing,” I explained, ' but I had planned to take the chil dren into the New York shops and provide them with suitable clothing for the trip. They were brought from home with Insufficient outfits because of the haste In getting them away.” Her face darkened as I spoke, and when she replied her voice held crisp decision. Another Shopping Tonr. "Mrs. Graham, I do not wish to dictate to you, but Mrs. Underwood ha« sent you to me, and expects me to put through the delicate business of getting you away from here. If T do It, I must have my own way— to speak plainly—about the move ments of your party." “Of course," I Interposed hastily. "We have no other thought. I gather that i^ou do not think It wise for the children to go to New York.” "Absolutely not," she returned. "Tljey must not put their heads out side their rooms until they go. Now —can you not get all the things they need without them?” With a memory of the clothing I so recently had bought for the chil dren across the road from the farm houae In order that their pretended flight might camouflage our real one, I reflected whimsically that when I finished with my preeent task I might set up a shopping bureau for dis tracted mother*. But aloud I only •aid gravely: "Yes. I can provide everything needful In two or three hours’ shop ping." Her eyes gave me their first ap proving look. "Good!" she commented. “There’s a garage man I know who Is abso Cutely safe In anything of this ktnd — Mrs. Underwood used to employ him —and I’ll send him a messuge to come over here right after luncheon and take you to the city. He’ll stay light on the Job, take you anywhere, wait for you as long as you like, and bring you back here when you have finished. If I were In your place, I would look up the snlllng list* very carefully this afternoon. And don't worry. I shall lie strictly on the .lob here until you come back.” Laf, inf, laf!

The more the merrier, Woman’s Club Elects Quietly; Club House Postponed Sy/r& 'Vfiiliv 'Dottzir ! - Jxjtru*tast&*n*tn ] Mrs, Philip Potter, president and Ihree oilier officers of the Onnha Woman's club, were re-elected at one of the quietest elections held by the Cimaha Woman’s club in many years.

The rule speci fying that only members who had paid their dues for a year in advance could vote was strictly enforced, al though It had been allowed to lapse by several previous administrations. Eligible votens were herded in one half of the room while nonvoting members were seated across the aisle. One consequence of the enforcement of the rule was a small vote, only lli ballots being polled out of an enroll ment of nearly 700 club members. Many Club Sites Offered. Consideration of a clubhouse site was postponed until the next meeting two weeks from yesterday.' Since the newspapers made punitc the story of ths Joseph Barker home, which the committee planned to recommend, but which was not available on ac count of zoning regulations, has been ADVERTISEMENT. Says She Looks Twenty Years Younger Tells How She Did It With a Home Made Remedy. Mrs. E. H. Boots, a well known resident of Buchanan County, la., who darkened her gray hair, made the following statement: "Any lady or gentleman can dark en their gray or faded hair, and look twenty years younger with this sim ple remedy, which they can mix at home. To half a pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum. one small box of Parbo Compound and t4 ounce ofgly cerlno. These Ingredient* can bo purchased at any drug store at very little cost.

It is wonderful, and “ >» »° xmple- Your, truly. Arlington H. Carman, Patchogue, N. Y. Mr. Carman's experience has been duplicated in thousands of homes. Why docs Kellogg’s Bran succeed when drugs and pills fail f The answer is simple, Itrugs have an unnatural effect, upon the bowels. They irritate the intestines. The more they are used, the more one has to use. Finally, they have no effect at all. Kellogg’s Bran STIMULATES the intestines. It eleans, sweeps and puri fies them. It a<-U exactly as Datum a<-ts. And it is never necessary to in crease the amount eaten. If eaten regularly, Kellogg's Bran is guaran teed to tiring permanent relief to ths most chronic cases of constipation, or your grocer returns your money. For Kellogg's Bran is ALL bran. Noth ing but ALL bran can tec so effective. That is why doctors recommend Kellogg’s. The wonderful, nut-like flavor of Kellogg’s Bran is exclusive. It is de licious—totally unlike ordinary brans. Eat two tablespoonfuls daily—in chronic cases, with every meal. Eat it with milk or cream and iu the recipes on every package. Kellogg 'a Bran, cooked and krumbled. is made in Battla Creek.
