Thursday, September 9, 1937 THIS COLUMN NOT FOR READING PURPOSES Complying with suggestions that both Gab Bag readers given a summer vacation from the column, we are writing •it as usual this week but don't want anyone to read it and *we hope you will enjoy skipping over it as much as we enjoy having you skip over it. And now, knowing that n be read, we can indulge a desi has been lurking in the back-« ground of our mind for sometime, without fear of anyone getting their back up and coming around to cuss us out. The annual Surry-Yadkin-Wil kes Masonic picnic, held solely for the purpose of raising money for the Oxford Orphanage, is a very worthy cause. But prac- - When Women 1 . Need Cardui ft you seem to have lost some of your strength you had for your [ favorite activities, or for your house i work . . . and care less about you* meals . . . and suffer severe dis comfort at certain times, ... try Cardui! Thousands and thousands of women say it has helped them. By increasing the appetite, im proving digestion, Cardui helps you to get more nourishment. As strength returns, unnecessary functional aches, pains and nervousness Just seem to go away. & "I Give You More Time To Enjoy The \ Youngsters" "Mothers of today are not spending all their precious hours in hot kitchens over steaming stoves, or back-breaking slavery over wash tubs and heavy irons, thanks to my services. I have brought emanci pation to the mother and given her glorious moments with the youngsters for recreation and play. No longer is she wrinkled and worn-out while she is yet a young woman but she keeps her charm and » beauty. fIR \ "The most interesting part is that I work for ae little. I do all the various tasks of drudgery and work in your home for a few pennies a day. As a matter •f fact the average cost in the average American home today is less than 9 cents a day. Now, don't you agree that this is an insignificant sum?" Your Friend and Servant, Reddy Kilowatt POWER COMPANY othing that appears below will ire to write on something that tically everyone, with the excep ion of one or two—will admit that the Masonic picnic, insofar as the actual picnic is concerned, is a co lossal flop—and—if it were not for Lee's riding devices each year, there would be no funds to send the orphanage. What profit is there- in putting everyone to a lot of trouble and vorry planning a picnic that year ly proves to be a total loss? Why have to spend a portion of the money made by Lee's riding de vices to pay expenses of the pic nic? If this be treason, look for us under the bed. The Masons had to spend $75.00 this year fixing up the equipment at the Masonic picnic grounds. That $75.00 could have teen put to far better use >by sending it directly to the orphan age. And why bring a prominent THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA speaker here for the picnic and subject him to the embarrass ment of making his speech before a handful of people? It has been suggested—and by a Mason who each year has been active in the picnic—that the Ma sonic picnic and Elkin Pair be combined and held at the same time. This suggestion, it seems to us, would be far better than stag ing two separate events only a few weeks apart. And chances are the picnic would be far more suc cessful. As it is now, the two events are in conflict one with the other, with the picnic losing 'mon ey. The fair is not staged for profit. We know there is a certain amount of sentiment attached to the yearly picnic on the part of some. But we figure the Oxford Orphanage would find a larger check far more spendable. Now we've gone and put our loot in it! * * • MR. McDANIEL SETS A NEW STYLE Anyone interested in what the well-dressed man should wear for fall should call on E. W. McDan iel and interview him on the sub ject of footstools in all the new est styles and colors. For, it is understood, Mr. McDaniel finds a footstool far more comforting than a mere hat.

Down in the basement of his store he was checking stock, when "pouf!" the lights went. Then he remembered that he had forgotten to lock the front door of the store! Dear, dear, but down there in the dark he was all a.-tremble. He was positive that some old meanie had sneaked in the store, pulled the light switch, and was waiting for him to come out of the base ment so that he might swat him over the head and do a bit of plain and fancy robbing. - The thought of being hit over the head grew as Mr. McDaniel fumbled his way up the basement steps. Oaining the main floor, he slipped cautiously around into the ladies' shoe department, and felt around in the darkness until he found one of those little foot stools that shoe clerks use when they are fitting a pair of shoes. This stool Mr. McDaniel placed atop his head, and had the lights been on he would have looked very pretty in it, too. With the footstool cocked at a very becoming angle, our hero made his way slowly toward the front of the store. He figured when the blow came, the footstool would absorb the shock. Silently he crept onward, expecting to be hit any moment. Then, with bated breath and with cold chills chas ing on£ another up and down his spine, he emerged from the shoe department and looked out upon the street. And there wasn't a thing the matter only Reddy Kilowatt had gone on a sit-down strike and had plunged the entire town into darkness! Tsk, tsk, tesk! The next time you are in Mc- Daniel's, ask for a footstool, size 7 and one-eighth. » ' « * THIS AND THAT Someone asked one o£ our kids the other day if they were any kin to our Uncle Culpeper? To which the youngster replied: "Yes but not close kin enough to do any harm." '• ♦ » It's going to be hard on those that work for The Bank of Elkin once they get into their new build ing.
