The Chevrolet 5-Passenger Sedan is
most popular for family use, because
it affords comfort, weather protec-
tion and the home atmosphere all
the year 'round for five people—yet
may be economically operated with
only one or two passengers.
Its power, reliability and low up-
keep appeal to men. Women like its
handsome lines, fine upholstery,
plate glass windows with Ternstedt
regulators, and fine finish.
Everybody appreciates its great

Victims of Arkansas City (Kan.) Flood
Appreciate Aid Rendered by
Ex-Service Men.
Citizens of Arkansas City, Kan.,
realized the value of an active post
! of the American Legion during the re- j
eent flood disaster which destroyed
many li\es and caused millions of dol-
lars in property damage to communi-
ties in southern Kansas.
With the town placed antler what
approximated martial law, members i
ot the Shelton iteaty post of the Le-
gion assumed a task that only men
with military training could master. •
The duty was to act in conjunction
with Hie city authorities to obtain
obedience of laws formulated hurried-
ly for the benefit of the town and to (
guard the flooded area from the pii- :
lagiiig of unscrupulous persons who j
Hocked to thr stricken district to loot
what t'he water hud left.
An organization was formed in short
order by the Legionnaires and a cor-
don of guards was thrown about the
water front. Hoard shifts were chosen i
from 1volunteers, who performed
this task for three nights until the j
flood abated. A battery of field artil-
lery of the National Hoard, called out i
j with the start of the flood, was in the j
midst of a drive for recruits, and it \ Janitor work, messenger duty and odd
j wus necessary for Legionnaires to till Jobs. When he attended college at
the depleted ranks of the organization Hastings he mowed lawns, washed
! to save its members from the strain of dishes and tended ftirna » s to pay Ids

How Old Is That Egg?
Eggs decrease in density us they
Brow older. Their age may he ascer-
tained by their specific gravity.
Melt two ounces of kitchen salt In a
pint of water and place the raw eggs
in it. When first laid they will de-
scend to tile bottom, w hen one day old
they will almost toucli it; when three
days old they will swim, and when
older will flout on the top. The more
they project above the water the older
they are. A preserved egg will float
lower than one untreated, as it is coat-
ed so as to make it airtight, thus pre-
venting change in the contents. Its
cracking in hot water is not due to
badness, but to the sume cause—the
shell being airtight prevents the es-
cape of guses as they expand with the
heat.—New York World.
Small Town Bright Lights.
The 100 per eent electrically lighted
town of the United States is Johns-
town, Colo., according to K. A. Thomp-
son. manager of the Fort Lupton Light
and Power company, that supplies the
current. Every home in town is wired
for electric lights and with few excep-
tions all these lights are used.
A man wdm never made a fool of
himself is unable to appreciate human

Linoleum Truly Cosmopolitan.
Six countries, thousands of miles
distant, aid In providing materials for
the finished linoleum, says tlie Detroit
News. The manufacture of linoleum
depends on three main materials—
cork, linseed oil and burlap. Cork, the
cldef ingredient, comes from Spain,
Portugal and northern Africa, where
thousands of people are engaged in
harvesting It ....... the trees. The lin-
seed oil is pressed from the flaxseed
from the Argentine republic, which
produces the greatest amount of flax-
seed in tile world. ISnrlup is made
from Jute grown in India, but woven
in Scotland.
Quick Learner.
A man who believed he knew all
about parrots undertook to teach what
he thought to be a young mute bird
to say “Hello!” in one lesson.
Going up to Its cage, he repeated
that word in a clear voice for several
minutes, the parrot paying not the
slightest attention.
At the final "Hello!" the bird
opened one eye. gazed at the man, and
snapped out, “Line's busy.”—Stray

We are what we eat!
It’s a startling fact, yet a simple truth.
This is the reason every one should know that
his food is really nourishing—not merely filling.
Grape-Nuts—made from wheat and barley—is
one of the few cereal foods that includes the vital
mineral salts so necessary for supplying proper
nourishment for nerve and bone structure.
In Grape-Nuts, too, is retained the important
vitamin-B of the wheat.
No food has greater influence in strengthening
the body of a growing child than Grape-Nuts. And
remember, children need the very best there is in
the way of nourishment.
Grape-Nuts is just as delicious as it is healthful,
whether served right from the package as a break-
last cereal with ntilk or cream, with fresh or
stewed fruit, or made into an uppeti/.ing recipe.

In tills manner the Illinois Legion
man believes that such careful train-
ing aiming toward a better understand-

of aliens in tlie state us well as assist-
