Editor* note: Arhin Al-
corn, philosopher on his
Johoson grass farm on Sul
phur. enters the army-navy
SQuabblr this week, his let-
ter reveals.
Dear Editar: 1 ain’t exactly a
war veteran, makes no differ-
ence if I am battlescarred after
years of marriage and goin up .
one row and down another out i1 T,r<
here on Sulphur or tryin to make
1910 bobw ire hold together in
1949. but I was talkin to a group
of World War II veterans the
other day and from what I can
tell about what they said. I think
1 know the solution to the big
Army and Navy squabble among
the generals and admirals
As I understand it. things ain't
goin to suit the private tastes of
the generals or the admirals
either, and they're developin a
squabble worse than a trustee
fight in a one-teacher school dis-
trict. Naturallv. I don't know
Whether a B 36 airplane is anv
good or not never used one out
here, and likewise there ain't
been no aircraft carriers fool in
around out here either, but the
argument over which one is best
reminds me of the argument
same school trustees had in a dis-
trict I heard about once over
whether to burn wood or eoal to
heat the school building, on--
trustee bein in the wood busi
ness, another in the coal busin'^s
They nearly wrecked the school
system before they compromised
on bumin wood the first half of
the term, coal the second, al-
though by the time they got
things ironed out and smoothed
down they installed gas and later
on they consolidated a bunch of
schools and the buildin ain'i even
However I don't believe a com-
promise is what's needed in the
I Army Navy squabble My idea
is that since both the army and
navy is strong for military dis-
cipline and believe in 1(M) per
rent obedience to your superior
officers, and since the President
is the Commander-in-Chief, I
think President Truman ought to
call in the squabblin officers
from both sides and tell em dis-
sension in the ranks is bad for
the country and assign the lead-
ers to K P every day for a week.
If that doesn't clear up matters,
which it generally does I under-
stand, give cm dose-order drill
fur a while or send cm over the
obstacle course a few times. I
ain't familiar with the meaning
of all these terms, but the Vet-
erans I was talkin to claim
they'll get the job done if applied
often enough.
Youis faithfully. A. A.

tried everything which hia friends
recommended.
Detective Watkins la well known
and hia countless number of friends
throughout the country will rejoice
to know that he la now healthy,

and now working hard.

Mr. Jerry Watkins
“For several years,” Mr. Watklna
ays, ”1 suffered from a rheumatic
condition in the hip and leg. I was
very nervoua and finally developed
migraine headaches. I tried all
kinds of medicines but nothing
seemed to do me any good. I
seemed to be growing worse and
worse and waa finally advised to
take a leave of abeence from my
work on the police force in an
effort to recover my health.”
“The pains tn my hand some-
times wore unbearable. I suffered
tortures and I was misers bis. At
night particularly I lay awaks and
could not sleep.”
Mr. Watkins said that someone
finally persuaded him to try
HADACOL* and after taking the
first bottle ho said he eqpM see
an Improvement In his gsaaml
'( •oard by dietary deficiency.
working from 8 to 12 hours daily
and I am able to sleep as any
normal person. I have taken six
large size bottles of HADACOI,
and all mv friends know 1 owe my
good health to HADATO!
Mr. Watkins is one of th» manv
thousands of people who suffered
from a deficiency of the R vita-
mins and the minerals that HAD-
ACOL contains and who. therefore,
found relief In HADACOL.
It Is a well-known scientific fset
that the lack of only a small
amount of the B vitamins and
oertain minerals in your system
will cause certain bodily disorders
•uch aa nutritional neuritis, which
causes the achea and pains com-
monly known aa rheumatism, and
there is no known cure for the
ailment except the administration
of the needed vitamins and min-
erals. This is why people who suf-
fered for years and years never
were able to obtain any relief until
they took the vitamins and miner-
als the lack of which was causing
the disorders.
HADACOL does not contain only
one but has five of the B vitamins
and four necessary minerals. It
comes to you In liquid form so that
it will be easily absorbed by the
blood and, therefore, carried to the
parts of the body which need them
most.
So, It matters not where you
live—no matter who you are—if
you have tried all the medicines
under the aun, you should be fair
to yourself and gtva this wonderful
preparation, HADACOL, a trial.
And if your disease is caused by
a lack of the B vitamins and min-
erals which HADACOL contains,
than don’t go on suffering—don’t
continue to make your life so
miserable. Temporary relief for you
la not enough. Taka HADACOL.
Sold at all leading drugstores.
Trial aisa only 11-25, but save
money; buy the largo family econ-
omy slie, only |8.60. If your drug-
gist does not handle HADACOL,
order direct from The La Blanc
Corporation, Lafayette, La., and
when the poetman brings your
package, just pay the amount plus
the c.o.d. and poatage. If you remit
with the order wa will pay the
postage.
Then, if you goal fool perfectly
satisfied after wing HADACOL
aa dbwted, just return the empty
and year amaay will ha
PROTECT
youtuj Eyes
With BETTER LIGHT for
easier seeing
Reading comic books is hard work for young eyes. The strain
of trying to see small print on grey paper may result in
permanent damage to vision unless there is plenty of good
light for easv seeing.
Give your children the abundant glareless light of a modern
floor lamp equipped with a white glass diffusing bowl and
100-200-^00 watt bulb. And see that they do their reading io
a chair dose to the light source aud not while lying on the
floor. Remember—eyes are priceless ... good light is cheapl
