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 j
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.

obscene language, unsightly wearing

One of the 100 or more workers

MURIEL RAHN'S
APARTMENT LOOTED
New York (CNS) A thief, with
plenty of nerve, jimmied the lock to
the East Side apartment of concert
star Muriel Rahn and USO official
Dick Campbell and took her coats,
his suits, his typewriter and her elec
tric iron. The loot was valued at
$350. Then, he tipped across the
hall and cleaned out the opposite a
partment before retiring for the
night.
Miss Rahn, currently on a concert
tour which will keep her away until
December 15th, was unaware of the
theft at press time. But her hus
band believes the robber has been
watching them for some time to know
that no one would be home at the
time he chose to “visit”.
However, the clever thief omitted
a $150 dress that Muriel as the star
wore in “Carmen Jones”, a $1,000 j
war bond neatly tucked away in a !
drawer and a beaver coat
After notifying the police, Mr.
Campbell gave them the serial num
ber of his typewriter, described hir
losses. Police agreed it was a high
class job. noting that instruments
were used to break the double lock.

The teeth are formed during
pregnancy and good teeth require
the food elements which go into
their structure, mainly calcium,
phosphorus and vitamin D. The
general and widespread tooth decay
among both children and -adults is
evidence that we do not apply the
knowledge we have.
Years ago, at the University of
Iowa, it was found that in the feed
ing of diabetic children, although
they were restricted in the food they
could have, tooth decay could be
greatly reduced or entirely stopped
if they rigidly kept on the pre
scribed diet. The diet was planned
so that it provided the food ele
ments necessary for teeth.
For the ten year old child, Dr. J.
D. _ Boyd suggests the following
basic daily diet: one quart of milk,
one egg, 3V£ oz. of meat, 2 serv
ings of vegetables, 2 servings of
fruit, 1 teaspoon of cod liver oil, 1
oz. butter plus some additional fat,
3 slices of bread plus 1 serving of
other cereal, 3% oz. potato (about
Vi cup mashed), 5 level tablespoons
'sugar and sweets.
These are the same foods as
,those given in the Government
chart of the Seven Basic Food
Groups for all of the family and
include the same foods as are in
troduced to infants during the first
year of life.
Babies are gradually introduced
to cod liver oil or other source of
vitamin D, orange juice or another
form of vitamin C, cereals, vege
tables, fruits and eggs.
The right fo-^s will supply all of
the food eler without resort to
vitamin and I concentrates.

3 NEGRO SOLDIERS ON TRIAL
FOR MURDER OF ITALIAN .
SOLDIER
Seattle, Washington, (PPNS) —
Three Negro soldiers who are accus
ed of actively participating in an at
tack with 40 other soldiers on a group
of Italian prisoners interned at Fort
Lawson, which resulted in the death
by hanging, of one Italian prisoner
and the assaulting of several others.
The attack took place last August 14
and reportedly came as an expression
of disapproval by American soldiers
who protested the holding by Italians
of “soft jobs’’ around the camp. (
The men, who will appear before
the court-martial this week for
charges of murder are: Pvt. William
G. Jones; Cpl. Luther Larkin and
Sgt- Arthur Hurks. The 40 other
soldiers wil Ibe tried on charges of
