Today, Thursday, iDecembed
Ist 1955, has been set apart as
“Safe Driving Day.’’ Let every
icitizen, both motorist and pe
destrian, do his utmost best to
prevent even a single accident
on our streets and highways.
** * *
Here are a’ few simple sug
gestions to help achieve a
perfect record of safe driving
on the above date. On any date,
as to that matter :
1. Don’t drive, unless the
trip you contemplate is neces
sary or impodtant to yourself
and others. Many fatal acci
dents involve drivers 'and pass
engers who should have stayed
at home, —and engaged in some
useful work.
2. Check the following im
portant equipage on your car:
1. Brakes, 2, Lights, 3. Tires
4. Rear view mirrors. Don’t
drive your car farther than
the nearest Service Station
■when any of the above need
repaii-, re-adjustment or re
placement.
3. If you can’t leave intoxi
cants alone, then let those with
more sense than you have do
the driving.
4. Roads and streets are
built with two sides. Don’t be
a Road hog, and try to use both
sides of the road at the same

We’ve been talking about
Mike and Ike_ the two famous
pigs in Purina stores all over
the country. On the Purina
Program Mike has beaten Ike
badly in the weight and gain
figures but in addition to that
it’s easy to see that Ike isn’t
a healthy pig and if something
isn’t done soon he won’t be
able to pull through. For sev
edal days he has been very
nervous and stands in his pen
trembling and eating very
little. This is one more piece of
proof that com needs a good
supplement and that Shorts or
“Chops” do not answer for
this. We plan to weigh these
pigs very soon and put Ike on!
the Purina Program to see
what he will do then. Come in
and see them before and after.
FEED YOUR SOWS AND
GET LOTS OF BABY PIGS
Feeding tests show there’s no
way of short-changing the old
sow. If she isn’t fed a nourish
ing feed like Purina - Sow &
Pig Chow ami given the proper
amounts of it, she won’t farrow
a big litter of husky babies.
Tests also show that feeding is
more important than breeding
for producing baby pigs. Plan

Another record to make us
blush: A recent survey of the 1
Nation’s reading habits reveal
the fact that 3 out of every 5
’ Americans have not read a
single book in the last year.
This group includes 26 percent
' of our college graduates, and
t 57 percent of High School
, graduates.
*# # «
Too many Picture Maga
zines, Comics, Movies, Radio,
and T. V. Programs are gener
-1 ally blamed for thig neglect to
’ read. Some critics say that the
majority of Americans lack the
■ stamina and stick-to-it-iv-nesa
’ to make the page by page
t journey through an average
: size book. Like the man who
now to jjet 100 to J. 25 lbs., gain
on 350 to 400 lb. sows with
Sow and* Pig Chow. Let us tell
you more about Purina’s’
proved feeding plan for sows.
Hope extra egg money will
help pay for Christmas gifts
You can bet lots of our Purina
Laying Chows customers have
extra money in the larder.
Many have been getting 40%
more eggs than U. S. average ,
flocks produce in fall and win
ter. Many get more than 40%
extra eggs over the average.
That means SIOO or so extra
income for most ladies who
, keep chickens and feed Purina.
I Eggs have been selling at a
J pretty good figure.
Dog Chow Contain s
What Dogs Need
For the finest bred dogs in the
world and the just plain dog
Purina Dog Chow Checkers
and Dog Chow Kibbled Meal
are nutritionally adequate for
growth of puppies and body
maintenance of adult dogß.
Both forms are easy to feed
and are favorites with dogs the
country over. Let us tell you
why Purina is right for your
dog.

SHOPPING IN THE RAIN
When I went shopping in the
rain
I’m sure that I 'looked very
queer —
No parasol with me, oh Dear!
I had nothing to lose but a
cold to gain.
I went my way, had lots of fun
Didn't bump into anyone I
knew
My friends all stayed at home
Nursing their colds and moping
along—
Inside my heart I hummed a
song. ■„

The above picture Is not at
all flattering. In fact, It Is
alarming when one considers
that the success and prestige
of a nation depends upon the
increase of the intelligence
and applicable information ac
quired regularly by its citizens.
In school? Yes. But more es
pecially in post school years,
through the sensible selection
and the thorough assimilation
