Girls Forget Fears,
Thaaks To 2-Way Help
What to do for woman’s oldest problem,
functional monthly pain? Many a girl and
found the answer in CAR-
DUIS 2-way help. You see, CARDUI may
make things lots easier for you in either
of two ways: (1) started 3 days befora
your time” and taken as directed on tha
label it should help relieve functional
periodic pain; (2) taken throughout the
month like a tonic, it should improve your
appetite, aid digestion, and thus help
build up resistance for the trying days to

and scientifically tested. If you suffer “at
those certain times”, get CARDUI today.

LONDON. — The Anglican bishop
of St. Edmundsbury has ordered his
clergymen to “lecture” betrothed:
couples that marriage is a serious i
and lasting business.
They must, said Bishop Richard
Brook, teach that “till death do us
part” means just what it says.
“The widely prevalent view
against which the church must, by i
every means in its power, take a
stand is that married couples have
the right to be happy, and that if
they are not happy divorce is the
justifiable course,” his instruction,
said.

WASHINGTON. — American war
dead from 400 overseas cemeteries
will be brought together in 14 per-
manent military cemeteries in Eu-
rope, Africa and the Philippines.
The Army Monday announced the
selection of the 14 as the final rest-
ing place for these men, whose fam-
ilies preferred that they be left in
the area of their sacrifice rather than.
be brought back to America.
It is estimated that of the 257,980
identified casualties overseas more
than 100,000 will be interred finally
in these cemeteries which are mark-
ers along the lines of fighting in Eu-
rope, Africa and the Pacific area.
Relatives were given their choice
of having their dead returned home
or left overseas in military ceme-
teries or private cemeteries. About
64 percent asked that the remains be
brought back.
All told, about 150,000 will be re-
