If you’re troubled with the Gout
* Just spend two-bits for Saur Kraut
Then if you think you’re feeling worse
Spend two-bits for Weiner Werse
Or if your heart is all a quiver
Take, home a couple pounds of Liver
Then if you still feel kind of Bum
Then we might prescribe a nice Beef Tongue
But if you’re troubled with sharp pains
Try Meadowbrook Eggs & Scrambles Brains
If this don’t make the world look brighter
Just tell your troubles to the writer
And anything he might suggest
Is guaranteed to be the best.

'Because of the great difficulty Un

become necessary for the German

MRS. CALVIN COOLIDGE
WALKS BRISKLY AND
KNOWS HER OWN MIND
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14.—
(/p)—Society leaders of the capital,
accustomed to moulding their tastes
to those of the first lady of the land,
are stumped by the form of diversion
selected by Mrs. Coolidge.
Four to six miles of walking daily !
is the program of Mrs. Coolidge and
this schedule stands, so far as the
demands on the time of a Presi
dent’s wife permits, rain or shine,
winter or summer.
Mrs. Coolidge has refused to be
“jailed” in the White House. She re
gards^ the executive mansion as a
home, and she has maintained the
simple habits of life she accustomed
herself to as the wife of a Massa
chusetts lawyer. - Social functions
she disposes of with grace and ease,
and she enjoys them, but they are
kept at a minimum.
Two walks a day is the favorite
program. The morning stroll is con
fined usually to shopping. Mrs. Cool
idge is well acquainted with the
stores here, and makes her way
about quickly. She knows pretty well
■what she wants before entering a
salesroom, and takes little time in
making her selection.
Another walk in the afternoon us
ually finds her enjoying the freedom
of one of the numerous parks, but
the strolls are not confined entire
ly to parkways. There are few
streets in the wide neighborhood
about the White House, settled by
every class of people, which she has
not traversed.
On these walks Mrs. Coolidge usu
ally is accompanied only by a secret
service man. Jim Haley, who has
been assigned to look after her pro
tection ever since she entered the
White House, is tall and naturally
takes a long stride, but Mrs. Cool
ide apparently never finds the pace
to fast.
Very often the first lady is recog
nized by fellow pedestrians, particu
larly by the children, for whom she
always has a happy greeting. But
sometimes a sightseer, unaware of
her identity, hails her to ask a di
rection. She takes delight in an
swering these queries. At rare in
| tervals in the stores too, a clerk in
nocently asks to whom the goods
shall be charged.
It takes extremely severe weather
to deprive Mrs. Coolidge of her walk.
In the midst of last winter she walk
ed one night with her son, John, to
the Union station, more than a mile
from the White House, to meet some
intimate friends, and then walked
back to the White House. She ducks
into the rain clad in a raincoat and
“slicker” hat, and has been seen
walking in some near-thunderstorms.
Unless there are guests at the
White House, Mrs. Coolidge seldom
uses her private limousine. It has
stood in the garage for weeks at a
time.
An active housekeeper deprives
Mrs. Coolidge of most of the cares
of the kitchen, and she leaves’ virtu
ally all of that domain to others.
She used to go into the kitchen on
Sunday afternoons when the boys
were home, however, to pop some
corn. Calvin, jr., who died last
summer, partiicularly favored the
Sunday afternoon pop corn dish.
Rio Eager for Steamers
Bearing Amer. Tourists
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, May 14.
i—(JP)—Rare the tourist who does not
I leave Brazil with a souvenir in the
I shape of a semi-preeious stone or
the colorful wing of a butterfly. Some
buy the stones in large numbers, for
a local jeweler declares hehas sold
approximately 4,000 aquamarines, for
about $20,000, to the 385 Americans
on board a tourist steamer recently
in this harbor.
Large blue butterfly wings the
Mospho, mounted in glas3 trays, sell
at the rate of about 10,000 pair a
year, and there is a steady market
for green beetles mount3d as scarf
pins.
There are no professional butter
fly hunters in Brazil, the supply of
wings for the tourist trade coming
from poor people and children liv
ing in the interior.

Spurious Examination Aids
Peddled to School'Children
MANILA, May 14.—(yp)—Thousands
of pupils in the public schools learned
today that they had been deceived by
an enterprising former employe of the
bureau of education. He had pre
pared a set of questions which he
claimed to be those to be used in the
regular examinations at the close ol
the school year, and sold them in
large numbers to pupils for 15 cents
each.
When the pupils went into the ex
amination they discovered that the
questions were entirely different from
those which they had purchased.
A million years of slow and pain
ful evolution resulting at last in man

Sweden Out to Collect
Fees from Radio Fans
STOCKHOLM, May 14.—
Twelve per cent of Sweden’s entire
population are now licensed radio
fans, the latest statistics show, and
since the police have begun for the
first time to round up illicit listen
ers the demand for official permits
has grown by leaps and bounds. To
meet the expense of operating the
public broadcasting stations the de
partment of telephones and tele
graph, which has charge of the coun
try’s radio system, oharges a license
fee of $3.25 for each receiving set.
At the beginning of 1924 only 4,530
such permits had been issued, but
today the figure is about 70,000.
By July 1 government officials
plan to have completed the five prin
cipal broadcasting stations at Stock
holm, Malmoe, Gothenburg, Sunds,
vail and Boden, all connected by
wires for relay purposes, and so plac
ed that every part of the country
will be equally well served.
