Replace worn, broken or rusted-out parts. Keep burn able material away from smoke pipes or any other part that be comes extremely hot. If you are the “fireman” in your house see to it that the stove or furnace does not become overheat ed—use common sense in operating the equipment and never force it. Use a metal container for ashes. Be sure that all open fires are care fully screened. ' %r t Efficient equipment and careful handling make for economy. Fires are a tremendous and needless ex pense, and everyone must help pay the bill. txt—— Civil Service Examinations Civil Service Examinations Cashier’s and Certified Checks _ 1,472.69 Dividend Checks _ NONE ..

Why Liquid Laxatives Do You No Harm For the first time since Chevro let added the Standard six in 1933, a four-door five-passenger sedan is now included in its lower priced line. In announcing the new model as an addition to the 1934 Stand ards, Chevrolet Motor Company declares it to be the lowest priced four-door sedan in the field of sixes and eights. Its list price is $540, or $100 under the Master four-door sedan. The major new feature in styling is the treatment of the rear end, where the body panels extend low in an unbroken contour to cover the back of the chassis. * This con struction does away with the rear cross-member cover, and provides a smooth, sweeping effect. The rear tire carrier and the rear bumper supports extend through openings in the body panel, as does the gasoline tank filler-neck. Comfort for rear seat passengers is improved by provision for extra leg room, the back of the front seat being deeply recessed, giving plenty of space for a built-in foot rest. Maximum elbow room is obtained by means of deep recesses in the Cotton Grade And Staple Reports For Week Ending Oct. 25 Christian Growth Lesson for November 4th. Luke 2:42-52. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct.

One is reminded of the complaint of Isaiah: “The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consid er.” What is the remedy?

An approved liquid laxative (one which is most widely used for both adults and children) is Dr. ^Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, a prescription. It is perfectly safe.

Profitable prices for cotton have nearly always been followed by in creased plantings the following season and as always this has been followed by the accumulation of surplus stocks and a lowered price thereafter. Without the acreage control pro grams of 1933 and 1934, the present cotton situation would have been materially different from what it is, and it is apparent that this con trol program should be continued on a sensible basis in order to maintain the advantageous balance between production and demand.
