THERE’S GOOD NEWS!
If you-like so many women be
tween the ages of 38 and 52 — find
this period in a woman’s life makes
you restless, cranky, nervous, so
tired and blue at times, perhaps
suffer hot flashes, dizziness and
distress of ‘’irregularities”
Start at once-try Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. This
is the best known medicine you can
buy today that's made especially for
women-f amous to help relieve such
distress due to this female func
tional disturbance.
Pinkham’s Compound has helped
thousands upon thousands of wom
en to go smiling thru annoying
“middle-age” symptoms. Also very
beneficial for younger women to
help relieve distress of monthly
functional disturbances. Follow
label directions. Lydia Pinkham's
Compound is well worth trying 1
Why did not the Sergeant and
the officer with him arrest Mrs.
Eldridge and then put the hand
cuffs on her and take her to the
station? Why did not they call a
doctor when they saw she was in
jured from a cut on her arm ?
How did it happen that nineteen
officers Were present at the time
Mrs. Eldridge was brought into th«
station? Were they staging a
show at the expense of Mrs. Eld
ridge in the presence of her hus
band? Why were several offic
ers in the "Bull Pen” with her
while she was being “booked” --
And where was the Police Capt
ain during the show? Where
were the Lieutenants and why did
they permit the action taken by
Graham. ?
INDIA IN THE NEWS
India is prominent in the daily
news. Sir Stafford Cripps was
there striving to win the support
of the people of India for an all
out war effort. He offered on be
half of the British government,
"Dominion Status and equality
within the frame work of British
Commonwealth of Nations”. This
means, of course, loyalty to the
Crown.
Ganhi and Nehru, the most
powerful leaders in India, and
Jinnah the leader of the Moslem
League, will have to be won to
the plan.
The Indian leaders are wary of
Britain. They remember a sim
ilar promise during the first world
war which was not kept. Nehru
wants action now, a declaration of
the British Parliament concerning
things to be given now and things
to come. Gandhi submitted the
promise made by Cripps to the All
-India Congress and let them de
cide whether to take it or leave it
It is true, that Japan is at their
gates. But this is not the fault of
India, the Blame belongs to Brit
ain. In fairness, too, it should be
said, the present government of
Britain now in power is not re
sponsible for the Indian problem,
but it must get action now or nev
er.
Britain Seems not to realize the
tremendous influence radio has
had on mankind everywhere; how
greatly it has advanced public ed
ucation in the. field of general in
formation. The India of today js
a very different India from 1917.
Our wish is that the Indian prob
lem may be solved now and that
this land which gave to the world
the founder of the Great Buddhist
Religion may take the same proud
place today she occupied in the
Ancient World.
If a “Free India’’ results from
the war. that will be a very great
gain and it will do much to dis
cipate the “color complexes’’
which beset the world.
THE TOWN HALL MEETING
OF THE AIR
Last week Miss Pearl Buck ap
peared on the Radio “Town Meet
ing of the Air’’ with a distinguish
ed scholar from India, the Wash
ington Correspondent of the Lon
don Times and an American eco
nomist, traveller and writer.
Miss Buck set forth the case of
China; the Indian the case for In
dia, the London Times correspon
dent the case for the British in
India, and the economist made an
apology for the Dutch in the East
Indies.
Everyne who heard Miss Buck
understands why she is the WO
MAN SHE IS. SHE HAS WHA r
IT TAKES. And every person
who is denied the boon of free
dom and human equality has been
helped and strengthened by Miss
Buck’s compelling arguments.
More than any individaul in the
world today, Miss Buck is demand
ing freedom for the non-white rac
es, here in the United States and
elsewhere in the world.
“The Town Hall Meeting of the
Air” has rendered humanity a very
great service.
We hope the attorneys in. Mrs
Eldridge’s case will put a little
more “zipp’’ into it when they
reach the District Court and the
City Council. Thanks.

ply it. This is one of the reasons
why thousands upon thousands of
folks all over the country use it,
including the glamorous Harriet
Calloway, the intednationally
known lady band leader, Pauline
Webster, Dean Gordon, Vivian
Brown, Lovely Lane and other fa
mous singers, entertainers and
movie actresses.
DR. FRED Palmer’s SKIN
WHITENER is made from a for
mula created by Dr. FRED Pal
mer, one of Georgia’s well known
doctors. For oved 44 years, it has
stood the test of time. No chang
es have been made in the original
formula, except those which have
been made from time to time to
make it better and more effective
Year after year it has been doing
its work, lightening and brighten
ing the skin of too tanned, dark
people. The fact that its sales
have constantly increased each
year over the year before and that
its use has spread from country
to country, is a testimonial of its
high quality.
This is the 44th year that Dr.
FRED Palmer’s products have
been manufactured. In celebrat
ion of this aninversary, the GAL
ENOL COMPANY, Inc., the man
ufacturers of DR. FRED Palmer’s

problems of the New South, has
been written by the Editor of the
Richmond Times Dispatch- He
calls himself a liberal, as indeed
he is, compared with “Old Bob
Toombs” of Georgia and Calhoun
of South Carolina during the days
when Negro slavery was the cap
stone of American Agricultural
economy.
The book treats of the problems
in the lands which lie “South of
the Potomac.” It concerns itself
chiefly with the Negro and his re
lation to the whole economy of to
day in that section of the country.
The author does not like the Na
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People any more
than the ante-bellum South liked
the New England Abolition Soc
iety, even though he expressed his
displeasure in more measured and
polite terms.
Many of the chapters in th°
book however are as fair as one
can expect from the pen of a sou
thern editor.
He teaches the Negro the letter
A, but he does now fully realiza
that that means, also, B.
CONCENTRATION OF D’FENSE
WORKERS OFTEN CAUSE
OF TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis if often the direct
result of concentration of defense
workers, makeshift and crowded
housing, poor nutrition and the in
flux of women into factories, ac
cording to Dr. J. Harry Murphy,
president of the Nebraska Tuber
culosis Association.
Dr. Murphy made this statement
in announcing the association’s
early diagnosis campaign for 1942
conducted annually during April.
"During war time tuberculous
deaths increase. The United
States is now engaged in a conf'ict
that will require every ounce of
manpower possible. It is the duty
of all citizens to thoroughly under

Murphy said.
The disease also creates a ser
ious financial problem, he said.
Men infected are thrown out of
work, their families become de
pendent upon public support, and
orphans must be placed in state
institutions. People are often un
aware they have tuberculosis. If

nosis campaign to make them
more alert in regard to personal
health and to enroll their support

Today every man is essential to
the national defense program. Dr. ]
Murphy emphasizes the fact that |
for every man in the field eight
een men and women in overalls
are required. Just as the army
and navy have an effective work
ing program against tuberculoses
so too should every community.
Health officials know what to dc,
but they need help and under

program must be strengthened.

M. D. H,—Now here is my sad
ness in life. There was only one
man in my life and I am 47 yeard
old now. This man courted m?
3 years and wouldn’t marry me
so I married someone else- He
wouldn’t let me alone. My hus
band died and still this man would
not let me alone. Now this has
been going on for 35 years and I
don’t know what to do with him
Advise me?
Ans: Marry the man. That is
what y°u have wanted to do many
many times but you just didn’t
want to give in. He has worried
you for 35 years and that seems
proof enough that he won’t ever
be happy until you give your con
sent to marry. He realizes that
he made a mistake not to marry
you years ago.but when you
married someone else, he couldn’t
change things then

tion that puzzles us most is; we
want to know if petting is wrong,
why do We enjoy it ? Also how '
can we tell that we are selecting
the proper mate if we don’t try ? ?
Please help us?
Ans: As long as you girls con
fine your petting to a few kisses
and clean fun-•••you have noth
ing to fear. It is only natural
that you should enjoy petting. I’m
sure the boys do too. However,
most young men and women over

draw the line at going too far.
M. L. B.—My husband makes
good money but I never know
where it goes. He has treated me
so bad- He leaves me but always
pomes back and asks forgiveness.
We have a four months old dau
ghter and he stayed off two days
and nights when he was paid off
last and I left him. He has come
to me and is begging me to re
turn. I love him so much, tell
me what to do?
Ans: Go on back as that is the
best thing for you and your dau
ghter. Don’t leave again, ’ unless
you make up your mind to quit
him permanently. It’s just com

and move back another. Talk
things over with him this time
