BROWN CAT (Ameriurus platycephalus). While the flathead or brown cat is the slenderest of the catfish, since this genus does not have the more portly ones in it, it is almost wholly herbivorous as to Its food. It is abundant in the streams of North and South Carolina and Georgia from Cape Pear to the Chatta hoochee and is considered a good food fish. This catfish is from 15 to 18 inches in length, a clear olive brown above varying sometimes to yellowish or greenish hue. There is a dark hori zontal bar at the base of the dorsal fin. The body seems extremely long for a catfish and nearly round. The head is low, flat and broad. Of course, there are handsome whiskers or it wouldn’t be a catfish. There are numerous kinds of cat fish in the United States. They were originally found east of the Rocky Mountains. They are now found in the States west of them because the streams and ponds have been planted with them. They have taken well to their new abode and have reached, in some places, com mercial importance. Catfish are not especially clever. They are caught on almost any type of bait. In spite of over fishing the cats have been sub jected to they are still abundant. Any one who has not had the thrill of watching a swarm of tiny black catfish being escorted by their father to another place In a stream should seek an opportunity to do so. Should a bold and aggressive neigh bor try to barge in there will be a fight and the catfish will remain in charge after it is ended. There are many fine places where catfish can be established on home streams and ponds. The water plants these cats are fond of may also be transplanted to new sites. Take My Word for It By FRANK COLBY. Moscow Again. A writer in New York states: You have made an amusing gag out of trying to get the commentators’ "cow” out of Moscow. You claim the name should be pronounced to rhyme with Roscoe. Nonsense! I was stationed there for four years and I never heard a single Russian fall to put a "cow” in Moscow. They all say "cow,” to rhyme with "how, now.” One’s ears often play strange pranks. And I am sure that my critic is hot trying to pull my leg, and is altogether sincere in believ ing that there is a “cow” in Moscow. The fact is, however, there is no such city in Russia as Moscow, re gardless of how the name is pro nounced. “Moscow” is an erroneous and misleading and unphonetic transcription of the correct Russian name MOSKVA, which is pro nounced moss-KVA, with the “a” in the second syllable almost as flat as in “van, vat.” The average Russian in Russia would not know what was meant by "Moscow” either in writing or speech. When the Anglicized name “Mos cow” was invented by some ancient fog-brained scholar, he intended the “-cow” to rhyme with “hoe, toe,” as "-ow” does in blow, crow, low, etc., although why “-kva” should have suggested the sound of “koe” is one of those sweet mysteries of life which no man can fathom. Moreover, no authority known to me places a "cow” in Moscow. All rhyme the English form with Ros coe, thus: MOSS-koe. Other such corrupted English forms are “Vienna” for Wien, “War saw” for Warszawa, “Prague” for Praha, “Bucharest” for Bucuresti, “Copenhagen” for Kobenhavn, “Bel grade” for Beograd, “Athens” for Athenai. And there are scores of others. English is like that. (BalMMd by the Bell Syndicate. Inc.)

SHE'S VERY OF THEM IS STILL ON YOUR lapel/ ADVERTISEMENT. “I COULDN’T STAND HARSH LAXATIVES! Kellogg’s All-Bran Brought Relief!” Says Ex-Sufferer! If you, too, are a sufferer, be sure to read this unsolicited letter 1 "My system was sluggish, after I'd been sick, and X couldn't stand harsh laxatives. 1 tried KELLOGGS ALI^-BRAN, and found it was grand. We have a box of it in the house all the time. Just for variety, aeveral times a week, we mix a small por tion of other cereals with the ALT,- it RAN ! It's delightful! And we still get the benefits from the AI.L-BRAN.” Mrs. Joseph W. Poutie, 86 Englewood Ave., Buffalo, N. Y. What’s the secret of such amaz ing relief for so many? Simply this! KELLOGG’S ALL-BRAN can “get at” constipation due to lack of certain “cellulosic” ele ments in the diet—because it is one of Nature’s most effective sources of these elements! ’Hiey help the friendly colonic flora fluff up and prepare the colonic contents for easy, natural elimination! ALL BRAN is not a purgative! Doesn’t work by “sweeping out”! It’s a gentle-acting, “regulating” food! If your constipation is this kind, eat ALL-BRAN, or several ALL-, BRAN muffins regularly. Drink plenty of water. See if you don’t praise its welcome relief! Insist on genuine ALL-BRAN, made only by Kellogg's in Battle Creek.
