To begin with, there's a vast difference in the feeding and care of the herd from which the milk originates. Furthermore, sanitary processing and bottling make for better taste, higher purity, and greater healthfulness. Rapid delivery means freshness and uniform good quality. Infinite pains and continued testing give us confidence in the belief that Ridley's milk, pasteurized and government inspected, is the finest made, not only for the growth and well-being of children, but for the nourishment needs of adults as well.

And whether she's draped in a clinging negligee or bundled up in a warm fur parka, the audience liked her equally well! Too well, as a matter of fact, for in the howils that greeted every one of her lines, the first words of her partners' speeches were often 'lost.

La West plays the role of a San Francisco gambling house hostess who escapes from the police to Alaska on a'battered old boat balonginK to Captain Bull Brnekctt (Victor Mc- Laglen). Bull falls for her in p.reat big way, and urges her to marry him, "but she stays on in the Klondike, adopting to throw the police off her track, the name and reputations of "Sister Annie," an evangelist who has died on the! way North. Mae's revival meetings are the talk of all songs, rhorus numbers and everything that goes to make a swell song-and-dance production, and suddenly, "Sister realizes that the man with whom she's In love, Jack Forrest (Phillip Reed), a Federal agent who has been assigned to locate the missing gambling-house gal, is deeply in love with her! "Sister Annie" wants to marry Jack but just as she's about to accept his proposal, she realizes that it would be unfair and she takes Bull's offer. They're so much better suited to each of them want a mate who' 11 be a good sparring partner, and In this combination, they'll both have what they need. "Klondike Annie' is splendid member of east is perfect in his role and Mae West has been given the opportunity to display an additional and entirely new brand of humor, which will Jiec-p the loyalty off all her old fans, and add many new ones.

ODD REPAIR JOBS ARE GOOD STORMY-WEATHER WORK FOlt "HANDYMAN" Winter days spent indoors bv the 'handy man" provide a good opportunity for the farm housewife to have that wc'obly ironing board Mxed, a bench made for the wash tubs 01 hinges repaired. February and March are. the months for these stormy weather jobs that are often left. undone but mean a good deal in comfort and convenience, says Miss Margarette Pfeil, home demonstration agent. The list of odd jobs vary with the particular home, says Miss Pfeil.

Very few homes, example, have the bottom basement stairs painted white to avoid danger of falling or tripping. And whdle working on the stairs, the "handy man" can drive an extra nail or two into the steps that seem wea'i. Homes seldom have enough closet space. A half hour can be spent in profitably fitting a pole across the end of a clothes closet to provide more hanger room. More -hooks may also be added.

Casters added to the kitchen and tho woodbox w.lll simplify the job of mopping the kitchen iloor. A coat of waterproof shellac for tho linoleum will prolong its -life and will also cut down on the -mopping. A cupboard for furniture polish, floor wax and other "bottles and cons' might fit nicely in the basement hta'ir- way or into some convenient corner, Miss Pfeil suggests. And perhaps a shelf here and there will keep utensils out of the way. MOVING DAY HRINfJvS JOB OK 1'AINTINfi AND RE-DECORATING ROOMS It's Time to Repair Your Machinery!

Painting and papering a home often goes undone the, year a family is "movir.g Woodwork is a good starting nluee for making the "new' home livable, says Miss Pfeil. For pointed woodwork that has a smooth surface perhaps a new coat of paint the only requirement.

The surface may Ic lightly samK'd with sandpaper so that the pnilut can "get its claws she Ivory is the most popular color lor painted woodwork. Wlien dark paint is to he covered with a lighter coat, an under coat of flat paint should he applied, because llat paint "covers' better than enamel. Sandpaper may be used to remove thick coatjings of paint. But use of commercial paint and varnish remover saves labor, says Miss Pfeil. The old surface must be clean and free from grease and wax.

Soap and water are good cleansers. Turpentine or gasoline will remove wax. A teaspoon of oxalic acid in pint or water will bleach some stains. The woodwork should then be rinsed with clear water. Acid may overhleach naturaj wood, but application of ammonia will I restore the wood color.

Painted woodwork is considered more decorative and In better than blurt arllllca.lly grained.

Bring your machjne out of the dark- cold hallway and locate it permanently in a warm room near a window where there is plenty of light by day and a lamp for evening work, suggests Miss Margarctte Pfeil, K)mc llemon stratlou agent.
