SILLY, EH?
It reached our off ear the other
day that a woman reader of . The
Tribune stated that she didn't even
read the page on which the Gab Bag
was printed, claiming that the col
umn is too silly for words.
No sooner had we received this
Information than we rushed off
home for a good cry.
But as for the column being silly,
folks don't know nothin'. It used
to be about! dix times sillier than it is
and it was through great effort that
we finally got to the place where
we thought we were writing a very
sensible column.
We used to think the column very
funny, but it wasn't, it was silly.
Our good friend and critic. Will
Rogers said to us one day: "Your
column would be fine if someone
else was writing it." But we told
Mr, Brisbane that it was none of

After I found how good Black.-Draught
Is, that is what I have used I guess
It rids me of the bile, for I feel bet

That, to me. Is a very bad feeling.

his affair and to attend to his own
pencil pushing.
It's the scoffs of the common
horde that makes the life of us
famous columnists so miserable.
Never a word of encouragement and
appreciation when, by chance,
turn out some word gem that will
go thundering down the ages to live
forever. But always rea4y tp criti
cize when we write something so
far over their heads that their feeble
minds fail to grasp it.
But such is life. As Abraham Lin
coln once remarked to grandpa dur
ing the battle of the Potomac, "You
can't please all the people all of the
time." And we've since learned
that one can't please any of the peo
ple any of the time when writing a
column.
Our advice to those who exper
ience a violent upturning of the
probiscus when perusing the literary
contents of this column, is to quit
reading it. Their advice to us is to
quit writing it.
Perhaps after we are dead and
gone and our mortal Clay has mould
ered in the grave, then we will.be
truly appreciated. Then we' Will be
seen in the true and searching light
of BUbllnfe genius. Monuments
will perhaps be erected in our mem

in the hall of fame as an inspiration
to every struggling columnist who
hasn't the good sense to let columns
alone.

KIDDIES BAND TO BE
FEATURE AT LYRIC
Page Children Offer
Unusual Musical Treat
For Theatre-Goers
A real treat for everyone, mildly
describes the pleasure in store for
those who attend the Lyric the&tre
Monday and Tuesday, where Page
Kiddies' Band appears with the
feature picture, "If I had a Million".
This kiddle band is being brought to
Elkin direct from the large cities
of the North, whese these young
sters have taken the critics by storm
and receiving uproaring ovations
from every appearance. The band
Is composed of six very talented
youngsters, ranging in age from 5
to 14, and presents a novel musical
act, such as has never been seen
from the stage before. Their pro
gram is featured by trumpet, saxo
phone, trombone, vocal and mixed
duets, and these children perform
with ability that would do credit to
adults.
The moßt astonishing bit on the
program is the performance of
Mariner Page,* the boy wonder sax
ophonist, only 5 years of age. If
you are skeptical as to whether lit
tle Mariner can play a saxophone
or not, just come down to the, Lyric
Monday or Tuesday and see him,
hear him, and you will agree that
such marked musical ability is as
tonishing. Every child in the band
has a .special gift at playing some
instrument, and a brighter, cleverer
bunch of youngsters have never be
fore been assembled in one act. This
is featured as a headline act and the
Lyric Theatre is delighted to have j
been included in the Southern rout-j
ing.

It has been well said, "The his
tory of the Prodigal in Luke 16 is
pretty much the history of the
Church. Now that she 'begins to
be in want,' she must needs 'Arise

of power and prestige." The series
of sermons will reveal what the
early church believed.
All members of the church, all
un-church people and friends are
cordially invited to attend.

WOMAN LOST
20 POUNDS
IN 4 WEEKS
Mrs. Mae West of St. Louis, Mo.,
writes: "i'm only 28 yrs. old and
weighed 170 lbs. until taking one
box of your Kruschen Salts just 4
weeks ago. I now weigh 150 lbs. I
also have more energy and further
more I've never had a hungry mo
ment."
Fat folks should take one half
teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a
Klass of hot water in the morning
before breakfast—lt's the SAFE,
harmless way to reduce as tens of
thousands of men and women know.
For your health's sake ask for
and get Kruschen at any drug store
—the cost for a bottle that lasts 4
weeks Is but a trifle and If after
the first bottle you are not joyfully
satisfied with results —money back.
