BY THE ¢ LLOR. When Mrs. Talbot's butler left her | she missed a gold cigarette case and other articles valued at $500. Having | taken out a policy of insurance cover- | ing burglary, larceny and theft, Mrs. | Talbot sent a proof-of-loss claim m‘ the compa: i Investigators of the company re- ported to their employer that there was no evidence they could find which would tend to show that the articles had been actually stolen. The com- | pany thereupon informed Mrs. Talboty that the loss would not be paid inas- much as her policy declared specifically that mere disappearance of lost articles was insufficient to prove theft. Mrs. Talbot sued. In her story to the jury she stated that when her butler | Jeft, she found that her trunks had | been ransacked. As additional proof | of the butler's guilt, she declared that the butler had failed to send her his new address as he had promised, and that she found the mattress of his bed slit. Counsel for the insurance company | | asked the court to rule that the facts | stated by Mrs. Talbot did not consti- ute sufficient evidence of theft, and, | accordingly, to dismiss her case. But the court ruled that the suf- | ficiency of the evidence was for the | jury, who later brought in a verdict in { Mrs. Talbot's favor, to decide, stating: | “In addition to the facts of disap- | pearance of the articles, there are facts, {in our opinion, which may tend to iprove to the jury that the articles | were stolen. Since this case is being | tried before a jury and there are such | | facts, it is proper for the jury to judge | their weight.” (Covyrieh . astic fellows tell me that the real bird chorus s to be heard only for some 15 | minutes; by 6 o'clock all good and industrious birds are hard at the busi- ness of getting breakfast.

Wich pritty soon the doorbell rang and I went and it was some little old lady with a tern down nose and tern up feet saying, Little boy, please ask your mother to help a poor old woman who hasent had a bite to eat for 2 days with 4 childern and no place to lay their heds, Pleflfle ask your mother. Me thinking, G, heers somebody has had more trouble than ma, she sed she wunted to see somebody. And I sed, Come on in a minnit, and the little old lady sed, Who, me, thank you, youll be a gentleman some day. And she went in and sat, down and I ran up to ma's room saying, Theres some lady down there to see you, ma, and she sed, Wat, my ness who is it? and I sed, I dont know her name but I know youll be glad to see her because you sed so. O, it must be Mrs. Dewks to pay me back that 10 dollers, thats the only woman I remember saying Id be glad to see, O good, my tide of luck seems to of terned at last, ma sed. And she quick went down and the little old lady stood up and made a short bow say- ing, Good day madam, Im famished with the hunger and 5 small children at_home to make it werse.

We are in- clined to think that bellef in charms and magic and taboos is confined to savage and ignorant people. However, we are all more or less superstitious. You laugh at others for carrying a rab- bit’s foot. ar hanging a horseshoe over the door, and yet there is some super- stitfon over which you feel a little ““quecr.” Perhaps you,don’t mind start- ing an important business on Priday or on the thirteenth of the month, but how about knocking on wood before, telling _your neighbor that you have' escaped the epidemic or the tax col- lector? Just because two things happen at the same time or immediately following each other we assume that they are necessarily connected. A superstition is a mistaken relationship. ~For . ex- ample, a black cat crosses your path or you break a mirror and you have hard luck. This looks very much like cause and effect, because we take into account only those cases where hard luck does follow, and ignore or forget the other cases in which nothing un- usual happens. Another reason why we are super- stitious is that we like to belleve in luck, and assume that we can influence “Pa_Is sociable, an’ my notion is he | don't like to go visitin’ because he gets restless settin’ wher: he can't put his (Copyricht. 1028.) that you have done your part and luck is on your sid>. This creates a wonder- 1 ful morale, so that you have greater confidence and actually succeed. Syu- perstition is not as silly as It seems. It is a primitive way of combating the in. ferlority complex. (Conyright. 1928.) ‘The greatest tea - drinkers, ‘the Chinese, Japanese and Russians, yuge neither milk nor sugar in the be: rage.

Kotex Reduces - Prices A few months ago, as a means of winning a million new users for Kotex so as to expedite a nation-wide distribution of the new Improved Kotex, we made a special offer of one box of Kotex free with every two boxes purchased for 98c. This sale is now ended. So overwhelming was the response to this offer that we doubled our output and are thereby now able to announce a permanent 30% reduction in the regular price of Kotex when sold by the box. ’ These two exclusive new features have doubled Kotex sales: 1 A new, form-fitting shape . , , corners are now scientifically rounded and tapered so that you wear it under the most clinging gowns without possibility of detection, with- & It is softer, too — fluffier — eliminating un. pleasant chafing and binding. «++ RETAINING ALL THE FEATURES AND PROTECTION OF THE KOTEX YOU HAVE out marring smooth, fashionable lines.

This fact and the introduction i our plants of our new, patented machinery enables us to announce, effective today, a reduction of 30% in the regular price at which Kotex will be sold to all drug and dry goods stores., Before making a permanent reduc- tion in price, and as a means of getting nation-widedistributionof the Improved Kotex, for several months we made a special offer of 2 boxes of Kotex at 98¢ and one box free. Now with the assurance of a doubled volume at lower prices, the regular price of single packages of Kotex is reduced 30%. Without this doubled volume the Improved Kotex would have to be sold at higher rather than lower prices. RELY Is a manufacturer able to offer better goods and lower prices at the same time. Two years of exacting work in our labora- tories by designers and chemists (in coopera- tion with women doctors) led to the perfection of the Impraved Kotex, With the presentation of the new style Kotex, exclusive in design, comes the mast radical development in intimate feminine hygiene since the invention of Kotex itself. The features we have developed are exclusive to Kotex —are found in no other sanitary pad. What form.fitting means Ry a unique process, developed only after months of experiment, corners are now scien- tifically rounded and tapered so that the pad fits snugly, comfortably, securely, Closest-fit ting gowns retain their slim, smooth lines, This brings a composure, a sense of well heing, heretofore impossible, Softer—fluflier—chafing eliminated Now, exclusive methods have been found for making the ahsorhent filler still softer. Chafing, binding, similar discomforts are eliminated. 27 women doctors, 83 nurees cooperated enthusiastically During the past two years 27 women doctors, 83 nurses in leading hospitals, in City Health Departments, in Welfare Departments, were consulted. Six specialists in feminine hygiene suggested and approved ideas, All former advantages retained The remarkably absorhent powers of Kotex remain; the same protective area is there, Cellucotton wadding, which is exclusive to Kotex, has all the advantages of any water- proofed absorbent, plus its own unique qual- KOTEX COMPA ities, It discards like tissue — you simply follow directions in each box; it deodovizes thoroughly while being worn, New prices effective today Today—~the new prices are in effect.
