Pepsin-izes Stomach
When constipation brings on add indi
gestion. bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated
tongue, sour taste, and Bad breath, your
stomach is probably loaded up with cer
tain undigested food and your bowels don’t
move. So you need both Pepsin to help
breakup fast that rich undigested food in
your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull
the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be
sure your laxative also contains Pepsin.
Tfcke Dr, Caldwell’s Laxative, because its
Syrup Pepsin helps you gain'that'won-
detfui stomach-relief, while the Laxative
Senna moves your bowels. Tests prove the
^ower of Pepsin to dissolve those lumps of
undigested protein food which may linger
in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric
acidity and nausea. This is how pepein-
izing your stomach helps relieve it of such
distress. At the same time this medicine
wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your
bowek to relieve your constipation. So see
how much better you ffeel By taking the
laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on
th*t stomach discomfort, too. Even fin
icky children love to taste this pleasant
family laxative. Buy Dr. Caldwell’s Lax
ative-Senna with Syrup Pepsin at your

“The Name

FELIX B. STREYCKMANS
and ELMO SCOTT WATSON
Jerry Thomas
Tom and Jerry
HpAKE some egg whites, egg yolks,
A powdered sugar, brandy, rum
and whiskey, mix it all up, and you
have a Tom and Jerry. Take the
name of America’s greatest bar
tender, Jerry Thomas, mix that up,
and you again have Tom and Jerry.
Yes, it was Jerry Thomas, head
bartender of the old Metropolitan
hotel at Broadway and Prince street
in New York city who concocted
the drink that im
mortalizes his
name.
Because his
parents wanted
him to become a
minister and be
cause he was the
author of a book
—the famous
“Bartender’s
Guide”—he was
called Professor
Thomas. That
was not such a
far-fetched title
for a bartender of the 1860s who
could write a book—imagine a bar
tender of that era who could just
write! *
Jerry Thomas was bora in New
Haven, Conn.,'in 1825. His parents,
sent him to college so he could be a
preacher. But, at the age of 20, fie
quit school to carry on an experi
ment to determine whether college
men could imbibe alcoholic liquors
in unlimited quantities. His conclu
sions were in the negative but he
stayed close to the subject he loved
by becoming principal bartender in
a Npw Haven saloon.
In later years he became head
bartender at the famous El Dorado
in San Francisco where he invented
the Blue Blazer, then he went to St.
Louis where he invented the Tom
and Jerry. He tended bar all over
the United States, Central America
and parts of Europe, startling the
Europeans especially with his $4,000
worth of silver bar utensils and his
unlimited repertoire of mixed drinks
Butterick Patterns
f ITERALLY hundreds of millions
^ of Butterick patterns have been
used all over the world. They have
been a boon to hundreds of thou
sands of mothers in making clothes
at home for their families. Now
whom do they have to thank—Miss
Butterick? Mrs. Butterick? No, nei
ther. The inventor of this home
dressmaking aid was a man, Eben-
ezer Butterick.
After some ex
periments he cut
his first salable
patterns June 16,
1863. The first
patterns were
folded by mem
bers of his fami
ly. In September
he had to take ex
tra rooms in a
building nearby
and five girls
were hired to do
the folding — but
Ebenezer still managed to keep his
beard out of the way and kept on
with the cutting.
E. Butterick
The business moved to New York
and continued to grow to the point
where single cutting machines cut
out thousands of patterns of each
size at a single stroke. The word
“Butterick” in electric lights on the
top of the 15-story Butterick build
ing, completed in 1904, was then the
largest electric sign in the world.
But the building was not finished
until a year after Ebenezer Butter*
ick died.

Sandwich
|OHN MONTAGU, fourth earl of
kJ Sandwich, English politician,
gambler and sportsman, born in
1718, was English ambassador to
Madrid and lord commissioner of
the admiralty—but his only contri
bution to posterity was the inven
tion of the sandwich.
His private life was a very im
moral one and he was so intent upon
sports and gam
bling that he dis
liked to take time
off from them
long enough to be
served a meal.
He ordered one of
his servants to
slice meat, and
put it between
two pieces of
bread, follow him
with several of
them and hand
one to him when
he was hungry.
That’s how the
sandwich came into being and where
it got its name. And it practically
makes the earl of Sandwich the fa
ther of the American picnic.
He was a very contemptible per
son, hated more by the English peo
ple than any other nobleman of the
Eighteenth century. Among other
things, he was guilty of murdering
his mistress—an even greater crime
than inventing the thing that has
made picnics possible — but not
much greater.

Sandwich
PLAN REFRESHMENTS TO SUIT THE SEASON
See Recipes Below.
When You Serve a Crowd
Whether it’s your responsibility to
provide unusual eats for the Senior
skating party, or an inexpensive
menu for the church supper, cook
ing in quantities does present prob
lems!
Unless you have recipes designed
to serve large numbers, it’s safer
to make quick breads, cakes and
cookies, according to standard fam
ily size recipes, doubling them, per
haps, but no more. Proportions of
ingredients change as recipes be
come larger, and it’s no simple mat
ter for an amateur to guess at them.
Plan refreshments to suit the sea
son and your guests. When equip
ment is make
shift, the help
limited, and the
number to be
served is large,
select foods that
are easily pre
pared and served, and foods that
won’t be hurt by standing.
For the simplest sort of refresh
ments after skating or skiing, hot
spiced tea is ideal.
Clam chowder, with toasted
crackers, makes a hearty, satisfy
ing and ‘ substantial dish to serve
after a sleigh ride in the frosty air.
Spaghetti or macaroni make inex
pensive, mainstay dishes for a
church supper or midwinter meet
ing of the P. T. A. Served with a
crisp salad, hard rolls and fresh
fruit for dessert, Italian spaghetti
makes an unusual and easy-to-serve
meal.
You’ll find the tested recipes be

UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL -

chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.
Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for February 25
* i . *
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se
lected and copyrighted by International
Council of Religious Education; used by
permission.
STEWARDS IN THE KINGDOM
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 25:14-27.
GOLDEN TEXT—WeU done, thou good
\nd faithful servant.—Matthew 25:21.
Christ is coming again! This is
the message of Matthew 24 and 25,
which is the background for the les
son of today. Here we also learn
of tae end of the age. To many it
seems that the time cannot be long
before that great and fateful day
breaks upon this chaos which we
call civilization. These two chap
ters contain much important pro
phetic truth, but in studying our les
son we must limit ourselves to the
one fact that when Christ does come
again we shall be called to give an
account of our stewardship.
Men are prone to think of their
life as something accidental. They
are here and they seem to have cer
tain abilities and opportunities
which they may make use of or not
as they choose, and then when the
time comes, they expect to leave
this world, in which they have
sought primarily for pleasure and
ease, and go out into eternity with
out any special responsibility. That
theory of life was undoubtedly pre
pared by the devil and is promoted
by him for the purpose of destroy
ing the souls of men.
I. Christ Makes Men Stewards
of His Goods (w. 14-18).
All men are stewards, for it is
evident that our Lord has given to
each one of us ability and oppor
tunity to serve Him. The unbeliever
who entirely rejects or ignores His
responsibility before God will have
to answer for His failure to follow
and serve Christ. So will the pro
fessing Christian who denies his pro
fession by his works have to answer
for his hypocrisy. Every true Chris
tian likewise must stand before the
judgment seat of Christ and be
judged for the work he has done
in the flesh.
The Lord has committed to each
man responsibility according to his
ability. God is not unreasonable.
He does not demand that which is
beyond our capacity. He gives to
each one the amount of His goods
which that man is able to make use
of, and then it becomes his respon
sibility to use those goods diligently
and faithfully.
H. Christ Will Return for a Stew
ardship Accounting (v. 19).
Life is far from a meaningless
existence without responsibility and
ultimate accountability. Christ is
coming again, we know not when,
but we know that He is coming and
that He may come today. What
answer will you and I give Him
when He asks us to account for the
goods He has left in our care?
Well aware are we that there are
those who scoff at the thought of
Christ’s return. The Bible told cen
turies in advance that we should
expect such an attitude of unbelief,
and it also told why men scoff at
this truth, namely, because they are
“walking after their own lusts” and
are “willingly ignorant” of God’s
Word (see II Peter 3:3-9).
What a solemn indictment that is I
Let us see that it does not apply to
us. Let us rather be among those
who are “looking for that blessed
hope, and the glorious appearing of
the great God and our Saviour Jesus
Christ” (Titus 2:13). In preparation
for that day let us obey His admoni
tion, “Occupy till I come” (Luke
19:13), that we may not stand
ashamed in His presence in that
day.
HI. Faithfulness Brings Reward,
Unfaithfulness Results in Judgment
(w. 20-27).
The man who because of special
ability had received five talents had
a great opportunity to serve his
lord, and he did so with courage
and fidelity. So also did the man
who because of lesser natural en
dowments received two talents.
Both made the most of their oppor
tunities and were equally faithful,
and also received equal rewards.
We shall not be judged on the basis
of the greatness or the limitation
of our opportunities, but rather by
the use we make of them. That
fact should encourage the one who
is by circumstance or calling con
fined to a limited field, while it
should solemnize and stir to greater
faithfulness the one who has been
given great opportunity. Observe
that the reward for doing one’s work
well is not retirement and a pen
sion, but more work (v. 21).
What about the man with the one
talent? Apparently he yielded to
the ever-present temptation to be
hurt because he did not receive as
much as the others (w. 24-26). In
stead of appreciating the kindness
of his lord in not burdening him
with more goods than he was able
to care for, and doing what he could
with what he had, he hid the talent
in the ground and went about his
own business. Such rebellion and
carelessness naturally brought forth
the reproof of the master and judg
ment (see w. 29, 30).

BILL CORUM—

C OMMON SENSE and yean
of smoking experience have
told Bill Corum what scientists
have confirmed in their research
laboratories—that the slower a
cigarette burns, the cooler and
milder the smoking. Some ciga
rettes burn fast, some slower,
some just in between. Laboratory
tests show Camels are definitely
slower-burning (details below).
Turn to Camels and get the extras
in smoking pleasure—extra mild

Corum puts it: "More pleasure
