Earn Extra Money
School days have come to an
end, which means boys and girls
everywhere have the opportunity
to make merry during the three
months vacation. Here’s hoping
that a majority of the Guid-ites es
pecially the boys will fnd jobs and
earn money so as to help their
parents defray expenses at home.
While we’re on the subject of
working, perhaps it wouldn’t be a
bad idea if those of you desiring to
earn some money during your
spare time, would sell copies of
THE OMAHA GUIDE.

The Painted Ladder
Celia was strugglng wth scales
when Uncle Henry looked in the
window. He was painting the house
and his cap and face were spatter
ed with blue, and white polka dots.
Ht shook his paint brush at Celia
and ho said, ‘Very poor, young
lady. There is certainly something
wrong with those scales. Come out
here and let me tell1 you something
about them.”
Celia did .iot have much faith in
Uncle Henry’s musical abili y, but
out she went anyway. ‘ Maybe he
knows more than I think, she said
to herself.
“Now,” began Uncle Henry, ‘‘the
reason scales sound alike s because
j they are made alike, but yours do
! not sound like any I ever heard.”
‘‘Well, I’m sure I do not know
what is the matter with them,”
Confessed Celia.
“So it seems, but I wi.l show you
i a pattern for building them, and
then they will sound as they
should.” So without saying more
he began to paint his ladder, blue
rungs and white rungs. It looked
very pretty- “Now, here we are,”
“thore are only eight rungs on this
ladder, just like the degrees of
ycur scale. These blue ones, the
color of the shutters, are the half
steps and all the others, white like
the house, are whole steps. Now
count the rungs and see where the
clue comes.”
“Three and four are blue,” said
Celia, ''and seven and eight. Oh, T
do remember that my teacher tcld
me the helf steps come between
three and four and seven and e’ght
11 guess I will remember it row
i thf ‘ I have really seen it in while,
and blue. It makes a very pretty
ladder, too. I’ll go in now and play
niy scales in white and blue.”

Trooical Pl?nt Is Found
That’s Fatal to Insects
Gulfport. Miss.—A strange trop
inl plant which pauses insects to
“commit suicide" is being studied
by Commander J Mortimer Shep
pard of the Pan American Society
(or Tropical Research aboard his
yacht here.
The shrub, known as Ycrba de la
Pulgn, or "plant of the flea." emits
a strange, repellent odor, Sheppard
said. He found it in an insect-in
fested Honduras village, after futile
searches for it in the Magdaline riv
er section of Colombia.
"I entered a rude native dwelling
there and, to my amazement, found
it entirely free from flies, mos
quitoes—In fact, any bugs—even
though the windows were open," he
said. "This plant, whieh is obnox
n uk lo insects. I found was used by
natives to keep their homes free,
although insects inarm by the mil
lions outside."
Sheppard is gr wing several of
these plants in pots aboard the
yacht. He has found that, to be
etlcctive. the plant must be at least
five or six months old. However it
will live potted for two or three
years.
"Insects don't Just die from the
plant itself because of any poison."
he explained. "Instead, they seem
to kill themselves against wmuuws
trying to get out of the room.

No matter how many medicines

Creomulsion, which goes right to
the seat of the trouble and aids na
ture to soothe and lical the inflamed

and expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,

refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene
