To relieve the effects of over-indul-

next day — do this: Take 2 table-
spoonfuls of Phillips' Milk of Mag-
nesia in a glass of water — AT

While you sleep, this wonderful
alkahrer will be sweetening your
stomach ... casing the upset-feeling
and nausea . . . helping to bring
back u "normal" feeling. By morn-

Then — when you wake — take
H more tablespoonfuls of Phillips'
Milk of Magnesia with orange juice.
That is one of the quickest, sim-
§lcst, easiest ways to overcome the
ad cffects of too much eating, smok-

But — never ask for "milk of

An English foreman in a cer

ting an apprentice to heat hii
lunch for him. The other day h«
called a new boy.
"Go downstairs and 'eat up mj
lunch for me," he ordered.
The boy obeyed with alacrity.
Later the foreman came down
"Where's my lunch?" he asked
"The boy, in amazement, said:
"You suid 'eat it up,' and I did."i
"I didn't tell you to h'eat il

told you to 'eat it up."
"Well, I didn't heat it up," main-

"He is hot, so hot," she whis-

fallen into a troubled sleep. "It will
make him sick unto death if he goes
out on the plain."
"Fear not, mother. I will go. Now
that I am fourteen, I can prove my-
self a man. I will go, like my great
forefather, David the king."
Rebeccah bade him good-by ten-
derly. "Had I a son older, I should
send him. But you are all I have.
Take care. The lion may return."
So David drove his father's flock

Suddenly over the hill before him
he saw a group of men approaching.
herds watched their flocks by night.
The cool breeze from off the moun-
tains made him draw his cloak close.
Suddenly over the hill before him
he saw a group of men approach-
ing. That was a surprising thing,
to see men wandering about at
night. But there was nothing alarm-
ing in their action. They seemed
filled with excitement snd Joy.
Now one of them called: "Who Is
this, guarding his sheep here? Oh,
is it you, David, son of Judah?
Come with us. We have seen you
star, brighter than any star of the
morning. It is moving, and we are
following it."
David was on his feet, listening
with boyish excitement to their tale
of the words they had heard from
the heavens, as nn angelic host
praised Jehovah. His heart burned
within him, and he was eager to
accompany the band of shepherds.
Then he heard one of the young
lambs: "Ma-aa-aa." The answering
bleat came from a distance. The
mother had wandered off in search
of tender morsels. David heard
again his mother's warning.
"1 have come to guard my fa-
ther's flock. I cannot go with you."
"We left our sheep, David. Tills
is the king we are about to sec. We
must go. You are a fool to stay here
with these few sheep, when the king
Is to be seen."
"I came here to tend this flock.
It is not mine, but it is my task,"
was his only reply.
When they saw that he would not
accompany them, they made haste
to be on their way.
At first his excitement over the
tale the shepherds had told him kept
him awake. But gradually his eyes
grew heavy. He was almost asleep
when he heard the "Ma-aa-aa," of a
young lamb again. He Jumped to
his feet, conscious that he had for-
gotten to hunt up that wandering
mother. With staff in hand, and his
sling ready to use, he listened In-
tently for a moment. Then he saw
the sheep, standing some distance
from the others, its head raised lis-
tening to something he could not
hear. But David knew what there
was to be found there. With the star-
light shining full upon it, crouched
a lion ready to spring.
Swift as the David of old, the lad
swung his sling, and the stone went
straight into the head of the crouch-
lng animal. With a slow yielding of
its body the lion fell in death.
"I am glad, my son, that you
were so faithful," his mother
praised him in the morning. "Your
father was beside himself, wild with
his Illness, and had I not been able
to tell him you were with the flocks
he would have gone out, sick as he
was. And now you have slain a lion.
Your fame will go before you."
"But mother, I did not see the
king." and David's voice trembled.
"Do you not think the king would
have scorned s lad who would de-
sert his post of duty from idle curi-
osity? Nay, my son, you have done
your task faithfully and well, and
proved yourself a man. Later you
may see the king "

Bethlehem Once Unimportant
The city of Bethlehem, birthplace
of Jesus Christ, was considered
least Important among ancient Pal-
estine towns before the Nativity.
But tradition has it that the birth-
place of Jesus was desecrated by a
pagan temple of Adonis before the
Emperor Constantino built the basil-
ica of the Nativity In A. D. 3'JO.
The basilica Is one of the oldest
churches in Christendom and has a
history 1,000 years old. The origi-
nal building Is still standing but it
has been altered by additions.

— By Vlrglalo Velo —
SINCE quizzes are so popu-
lar these days, here's one
for you movie-goers. The
amusement you get out of it,
(if any), will be your only re-
ward.
1. What motion picture actor gets
the most fan mail—almost 6,000
more letters each week than either
Shirley Temple or Clark Gable?
2. What motion picture star is the
most popular one now making
"westerns"? (He's Just about as
popular as any star making any
kind of pictures.)
3. What star who, according to
owners of Uieaters In villages and
small cities, draws good audiences
when other, better publicized stars
fail to do so, receives but $12,599
a picture, when stars getUng far
larger salaries draw many thou-
sands more?
4. What star—but what's the use,
when you know by now that the an-
swer to all the questions is Gene
Autry, Republic's singing cowboy.
Exhibitors in the smaller cities
have been much smarter, appar-
ently, than the ones in the big towns
where Autry was concerned.
They've shown his pictures for some
years, and made money on them.
The big towns haven't discovered
him yet; his pictures aren't shown
in the big movie palaces of the land.
He used to be a telegrapher for a
railway; later lie played the guitar
and sang ballads for various small
radio alations. Republic engaged
him to make westerns, and Imme-
diately he waa a success; now some
of the other motion picture com-
panies would like to get him away
from that studio and can't do it.
His lstest picture is "Rhythm of
the Saddle"; his next will be "West-
ern Jamboree."

as gifts. Doll collecting is becom-
ing a popular hobby for grown-

of whatever materials may be at
hand and reflect the individuality
of the person who made them.
Rag babies of all kinds have an
important place in such a collec-

tions for making and dressing
dolls from scraps of materials.
If you want to make the stock-

The head and body are made of
the foot of the stocking cut off
where the heel begins, as shown.
Stuff this part with cotton or bits
of soft clean rags, sew across the
bottom and then wind a thread
around so that the toes of the
stocking will form the head. Fold
the leg and arm pieces lengthwise,
stitch, turn and then stuff. Wrap
thread around to make divisions
for hands and feet. Sew the legs
to the body, then add the skirt.
The arms are sewn on top of the

lar is turned down over this sew-
