If You Had MYJOB Keeping house, helping take care of the family—you would realize that business girls are not the only ones who some times get Headache and Tired Aching Muscles. We home girls often work just as hard and have just as many Headaches, just as many Stomach Upsets and get just as Tired. About a year ago, I first used ALKA-SELTZER I find that it eases my Aching Head, takes the kinks out of Tired, Aching Muscles and brings relief when I have Acid Indigestion. The family says I am a lot easier to live with since I have known about Alka-Seltzer. *Have you tried ALKA-SELT ZER? If not, why don’t you get a package today?

SPORTS Everyone is deeply interested in the achievements of Lawrence Watson, Jr., For a brief interview of the past achievements of this 18 year old boy, we will cover a small period oi his life since he just began to put on boxing gloves. Laurence's main am bition in life has always been to try to succeed as a boxer. His first Gol den Glove fight was at the age of 15. He made an excellent showing in this event but in the finals was defeated. This defeat didn't discourage him. But it gave to him a realization that one must except defeats as well as acepting honors. Through the help of his trainer. One Step Watson, "a former boxer" >oung Watson enter ed other contests and won. Then in the year 1942, fate twisted his . leg out of joint. This kept him out of the 1943 Golden Golves. Several months after this, improvement was shown and Watson resumed his train ing. Then in Febraury, 1944. this year Watson entered the Golden Glov es, this time being victorious. This ; victory made it possible to box in ! the Chicago tournament. After a | victory there, this entitled him to box I in Madison Square garden in N. V I The date of March 27. We will give you the results ot this fight in the next issue. We wish Watson much success in his career. Other promising young boxers are Joe Hartfield. Bobbie "Eugene Brown. James Shearron, Aaron Wash ington, Clarence Adams and Edward Morrow. We wish these boys much success and we say “keep up the good work." Go To Church Sunday!

Anderson, principal of the Dunbar Elementary school here and secretary of the Wichita branch of the Amer ican Federation of Labor. He is one of the leading young educators of the midwest and active in civic and young people's groups. From early reports reaching Mr. Anderson’s, several college chapters have arranged a week of special chap el programs, some have added local radio broadcasts, and others will aid recognition programs for members who have made substantial achieve ment during the year, or who show promise in their respective fields.
