Request Hadacol
HADACOL Helps Folks Suffer-
ing Deficiencies of Vitamins
Bl, B2, Niacin and Iron
Registered nurses, in increas-
ing numbers, are showing a keen
interest in HADACOL and in the
results that are being secured
with this great modern formula.
Requests have
been received
from many of
these nurses
for professional
samples of
HADACOL and
many of them
indicated that
they recom-
mend the HAD- *
ACOL formula Mrs. Marquess
to their patients. For example
Mrs. Kathleen C. Marquess, a
registered nurse, who lives at 519
West 2nd St., Hopkinsville, Ky.,
says this about HADACOL:
“Your HADACOL has already
improved my appetite, and I am
sure I’ll regain my fifteen
pounds soon. Those patients to
whom 1 passed on your profes-
sional samples are all continu-
ing to take HADACOL and most
of them are now trying it in the
family size bottle. All have been
helped. Some are much, much
better from an emotional stand-
point. 1 saw one yesterday sit-
ting on the porch of the next-
door neighbor, chatting and
smiling. She had only been able
to walk around in the house.
Just imagine that — after only
three bottles of HADACOL!”
Mrs. Marquess and her pa-
tients, whom HADACOL has
helped, were suffering deficien-
cies of Vitamins Bl, B2, Niacin
and Iron, which HADACOL con-
tains.

Lincoln, First Aid
Victory HD Topics
By Mrs. Frank Cleckler
A quotation from Abraham
Lincoln in which he said, “My
concern is not whether God is
on our side; my concern is whe-
ther 1 am on God’s side, for
God is always right," was giv-
en by Mrs. Wendell Cleckler
as club leader when Victory HD
members met Thursday with
Mrs. Jerry Hardin for a special
request program.
The program on “First Aid”
was given by Mrs. A. J. Robin-
son. who told what to do and
what not to do in case of ac-
cidents.
“Home accidents account for
more than two fifths of the ac-
cidental deaths,” she explained.
Listed by Mrs. , Robinson as
things to keep on hand in a
first aid kit were: Mustard pow-
der, table salt and syrup of ipe-
cac to induce vomiting in case
of poisoning; rubbing alcohol,
sterile °auze individually wrap-
ped, roll of gauze bandage, ad-
hesive tape, band aids and
baking soda, which is especially
good to use in one teaspoon to
a glass of warm water for bath-
ing to dislodge foreign bodies
in the eye.
Definite and complete plans
were maae for the group to car-
ry food and hours set for work
at the Council Food Concession
during the Livestock Show.
Mrs. A. J. Marth was named
as a delegate to council March
2nd at which time will be a can-
didate from which three women
will be elected to go to the Dis-
trist meeting at Brady. Several
pounds of clothing was collected
to be carried to the State Hos-
pital at Abilene.

th, Wendell Cleckler, Frank Cle-
ckler, L. O. Taylor, A. L. Odom,

Because your hands some-
times become insensitive to ex-
act degrees of temperature after
they’ve been in and out of
water on wash day, it’s a good
idea to try another method for
testing luke-warm water. Flick
a drop onto your inner wrist,
just as you do for baby’s bottle,
and you'll know for sure wheth-
er the water is truly tepid.
