But it’s in an emergency that Castoria
means most. Some night when consti

In Sixty Years
From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil
A year ago an Iowan 60 years old
I prepared a paper to be read on the
' occasion of a birthday celebration.
In reviewing his 60 years of life he
named 91 inventions within the pe
' riod of his life time which have con
[ tributed materially to human wel
fare. He began with the electric
dynamo and ended with the thermos
bottle.
“Living has been transformed,"
he declared. “We are surrounded
by comforts and conveniences.: he
aid. “w'hich were undreamed of 60
years ago." Continuing he said:
, “I was born in a village in north
ern Illinois, and for a part of the
time until I was 15 years old lived
on a farm. In that day and in that
place, generally, people were poor
and life was simple. The homes of
iny childhood were not built tc keep
out the winter’s cold nor the sum
mer’s heat; at least they did not
keep out the cold nor the heat.
They had none of the comforts of
our homes today. No furnace,
no gas stove, no storm sash, no
screens, no plumbing, no sewers, no
bathtub. They were heated with
wood burning stoves, the fires went
out at night. The kitchens were
bitterly cold in winter and infernal
ly hot in summer. Well and cistern
water all outside the house. For
lighting kerosene lamps. I remem
ber well how the snow7 drifted
across the floor of my bedroom in
winter, and now tne ties toon pos
session of the house in summer.”
In spite of all these conditions
which now seem intolerable, people
enjoyed life in those old days. And
even those conditions were some
improvement over the boyhood days
of Abraham Lincoln.
Within 60 years more than a
score of electrical inventions in
cluding the dynamo, motor, incan
descent light, storage battery, elec
tric railway, fan, flatiron, vacuum
cleaner, toaster, stove, washing
machine, ironer, coffee percolator,
curling iron, warming pad and corn
popper. Most of our readers are
familiar with thermostat, phono
graph, dictaphone, kodak, photo
graph film, motion pictures, tele
phone, typewriter, typesetting ma
chines, wireless telegraphy and tel
ephony, airbrakes, automatic cou
plers, 'sleeping cars, photo engrav
ing, barbed wire, steam turbine, self
binder, combination harvester, corn
picker, internal combustion engine,
automobile, bicycle, peumatic tires,
pneumatic tools, weather forecasts,
mail delivery, gas, gasoline and ker
osene stoves, fountain pens, safety
razors, shaving cream, airplanes, ro
tary printing presses, machine guns,
smokeless powder, reinforced con
crete, steel construction, skyscrap
ers. paved highways, concrete
bridges. X-rays, radium, coal tar
dyes, merceriged cotton, synthetic
silk, synthetic perfume, wrist
watches, pajamas, rubber heels, un
ion suits, creameries, cream separa
tor, incubator, window screens, open
plumbing, sectional bookcases, ad
ding machines, comptometer, pack
age foods, newspaper comics, pas
teurized milk, antiseptic surgery,
anesthetics, fuel oil, subways, trans
continental railways, luncheon
clubs, North and South poles
reached, Africa explored, bacteria,
helium, dirigible airship, thermos
bottle.
Not all the discoveries in 60 years
are listed herewith. Now who wants
to go back to the good days?
“SMALL TOWN STUFF”
A traveler in Minnesota, losing his
directions and becoming confused,
thus accosted a Swede whom he met
in the road, “Say, my good man,
can you tell me where i am?.. .1 am
lost: where is Northfield?”.. ."Ay
don’t know." replied Ole, "Ay nevare
bane dare"...“I am lost and want
to get to Minneapolis: can you in
form me where that is?” asked the
Good Idea.
"How is it Bill has two caddies
and you none?”
“One’s mine—he keeps track of
Bill's score for me.”
Q. Did the United States have
much foreign trade with Europe
during 1927? H. H.
A. Shipments to Europe during
the fiscal year, 1827, were $2,397,
000,000, or 48 per cent, of all our
exports. Imports were $1,268,000,
000. The United Kingdom and Ire
land paid nearly $1,000,000,000 for
our products; Germany. $443,000,000;
France. 234.000,000: Italy, $142,000,
000. and the Netherlands, $143,000,
000.

you surely can tell me the road to
St. Paul?”...“Ay nevare bane to

Ole.. .Becoming provoked, the trav

know, anyway?”.. .“Ay don’t kno

said Ole...A friend of mine was
talking to this same Swede, and
said, “wasn’t that a wonderful
flight of Lindbergh’s?.. ."A don’t

about Lindbergh's flying across the
ocean?”.. .“Ne\are herd uv das fel

something no other man ever did,

Don’t Give Up the Test!

just made, off the Maryland coast,
of one Interesting new' device for es
cape from a sunken submarine, and
the numerous tests which the navy
plans soon to make of other appara

Such Ignorance.
From Tit-Bits.
Mr. Dubb (at concert1: She has
quite a large repertoire, hasn t she?
Mrs. Dubb: Yes. and that dress
she’s wearing makes it look all the
worse.
to meet the enthusiastic "uproval of
the American public. well be
comes laymen to accep. without
question the statements of navy offi
cials experiences in submarine op
eration, which go to show that many
seroius and complicated obstacles
stand in the way of a solution of the
problem of rescue from a wrecked
submarine. The citizen who makes
light of these obstacles in an impa
tient, know-it-all manner is obvi
ously under-informed concerning the
real difficulties of the task. But. this
is not to say that the lay public is
not justified in clinging to” a demand
that the problem should be solved
even though it seems impossible. We
have just passed through one wfiole
century during which men have
steadily been accomplishing in one
decade what experts of the previous
decade called impossible.
The perseverance now shown by
the United States navy in continuing
to seek a way to equip submarines
with a device for escape which will
not impair the undersea boat's effi
ciency as a fighting craft, recog
nizes this teaching of modern his
tory at its full force and value. It
does more. It accord1- with a spirit
of accomplishment which, since
pioneering days, have become- in
grained in the American people. This
spirit, when given full play, can al
ways show that a group of swivel
chair experts, gravely shaking flmlr
heads, are nodding not so much in
thoughtful-minded dissent as in
plain sleep.
THE SEA
I saw it on a cloud flecked da..
When back and forth the sunlight
went,
As if the heavens’ busy loom
Were on a dappled weaving bent
Afar theie hung the crowding mist
Against the dry and sombre sea,
And ever at the craggy’s foot
The chant of breakers came to
me.
A scarlet crab upon the beach
With lazy motion fled the tide.
And sea gulls sought the lifting
crest
To lightly poise and briefly ride
A clumsy craft of fisher folk
With borrowed grace of wave
swept by,
And came a homely melody
Across the billow, winnowed high
And oh, I loved the wise old sea
That wooed me with its throaty
song.
And showed me meekness great as
might
And peace as long as leagues are
long.
From Maude de Verse Newton in
the Christian Science Monitor.
THE THIN BLUE LINE
From the Providence Journal
On the 16th of this month the
Grand Army of the Republic will
meet at Denver, Colo. This will be
the 62nd in the list of national en
campments. the first of which was
held shortly after the close of the
Civil war.
The Grand Army of the Republic
has become, in the course of time, a
thin blue line. Its youngest mem
bers are gray and grizzled veterans;
its oldest members are well-nigh
centenarians. Nearly two full gen
erations have passed since the sur
render of General Lee at Appomat
tox.
In a sense, the meeting at Denver
will be a pathetic spectacle. It will
eloquently emphasize the ravages of
time. But to the discerning it will
speak more eloquently still of glory
and honor, the undying fame of
the Boys in Blue and a Great Re
public made greater by their unfor
gettable courage and devotion.
SLICED PERSIMMONS
Big, ripe persimmons make a de
licious and unusual dessert if sliced,
like peaches, and served with thick

Threat or Promise?
From Pages Gales, Yverdon.
Mother: Why didn’t you call me
when M. Clive kissed you?
Daughter: He threatened me.
Mother: Threatened?
Daughter: Yes, not to kiss me any
more.
Q How are the foundations laijl
in Venice so that houses are not
washed away? M. D.
A. The city of Venice is almost
entirely built upon mud flats and
the fundations of the Umldings se
cured by piling.
Dye-Making Industry
Difficult to Master
Ado'ph Junck, the millionaire for
mer brewer of Sun Francisco, said on
disembarking from the Leviathan In
New York:
“Tlie bottom has fallen out of the
English home-made dye boom and
many large fortunes have been lost
The English thought that with a few
stolen German recipes they could ri
val the German dye industry. Well,
it wasn’t so easy."
Mr. Junck drew a trade paper from
his pocket.
“German dye-making Is difficult and
complicated," he said, "if you don’t
believe it, listen to tlds:
And he read from the trade paper:
“ ‘IJetaamidoalizarln Is the reduc
tion of one of the oldest alizarin colors
known, namely, alizarin orange, which
chemically Is nltro-allzarln. When be
tnamidoanthraqulnone Is subjected to
the identical renetlon which produced
from anthraquinone sulphonlc acid the
first synthetic nnzarln— that is, melt
ing of the product with caustic alkali
at high temperature—a dlhydronn
thrnquinonenzine Is obtained.’ ”—Ite

Dorothy’s Mother
Proves Claim
Children don't ordi
narily take to medi
cines but lioro’s one
lhat all of them love.
Perhaps It shouldn’t
be called a medicine
at all. It's more like
a rich, concentrated
food. It’s pure,
wholesome, sweet to the taste aiul
sweet In your child's little stomnrh.
It builds up and strengthens weak,
puny, underweight children, makes
them eat heartily, brings the roses
back to their cheeks, makes them
playful, energetic, full of life. And
no bilious, headachy, constipated,
feverish, fretful baby or child ever
failed to respond to the gentle luflu
ence of California Fig Syrup on their
little bowels. It starts lazy bowels
quick, cleans them out thoroughly,
tones and strengthens them so they
continue to act normally, of their own
accord.
Millions of mothers know about
California Fig Syrup from experience.
A Western mother, Mrs. J. O. Moore,
110 CHff Ave., San Antonio, Texas,
says: “California Fig Syrup is cer
tainly nil that’s claimed for it. I
have proved that with my little Poro
thy. She was a bottle baby and very
delicate. Her bowels were weak. I
started her on Fig Syrup when she
was a few months old and it regu
lated her, quick. I have used It with
her ever since for colds and every lit
tle set-bnck and her wonderful con
dition tells better than words how It
helps.”
Don’t he Imposed on. See that the
Fig Syrup you buy hears the naqiP,
“California” so you’ll get the genu
ine, famous for 50 years.
Determined to Have Auto
A twelve-year-old Norwich (Conn.)
key made an unusual attempt to steal
tn automobile part by part, apparent
ly with the Intention of reassembling
It at his convenience. The car was
taken In a trade by a local denier, nnd,
there being no room for It In the ga
rage, was left out In the open. First
the carburetor disappeared, then the
generator ant! clutch, and finally the

the boy followed.
Active Cigar Butt
When a lighted cigar butt was
tossed out of an eight story window
in a Pittsburgh building it first struck
an awning over a sixth floor window
From there it bounced to a fifth floor
awning, thence to a second floor awn

ash to set fire to each one of the
three drapings.

Lots of folks who think fhoy hav»
"indigestion" have only nn arid condi

like Phillips Milk of Magnesia soon
restores digestion to normal.
Phillips does nwny with all that
sourness and gas right nfter meals. It
prevents the distress bo apt to occm
two hours after eating. What a pleas
