Does Stomach
Gas and Bloat
Make You Feel
Miserable ?
| If so, here Is how you may blessed
! relief In freeing your stomach from
j this nervous distress. It works this way:
Everytlme food enters the stomach a
I vital gastric Juice must flow normally to
break-up crrtnln food particles; elsn the
food may ferment. Sour food, prirj indi-
gestion and gas frequently cause a mor-
bid. touchy, fretful, peevish, nervouo
condition, loss of appetite, underweight,
restless sleep, weakness.
To get rp.il relief you must increase
I the flow of this vital gastric Juice. Mrdl-
j cal authorities. In Independent labora-
tory tests on human stomachs, have by
positive proof shown that SS8 Tonic is
I amazlnglv effective in increasing this
| flow when It is too little or scanty due
to a non-organic stomach disturbance.
This Is due to the SSS Tonic formula
which contains special and potent acti-
vating ingredients.
Also, SSS Tonic helps build-up non-
organic, weak, watery blood in nutri-
tional anemia—so with a good flow of
this gastric digestive Juice, plus rich rrd-
blood you should eat better, sleep belter,
feel better, work better, play better.
Avoid punishing yourself with over-
doses of soda and other alkalizers to
counteract, gas and bloating when what
you so dearly need Is SSS Tonic to help
you digest food for body strength and
repair. Don't wait! Join the host of
happy people SSS Tonic has helped.

Midland, Odessa Squabble
Over Their Joint Airport
By BOB WKODLK
U. P. Staff Writer
Midland and Odessa are at it
igain, this time over an airport.
You might substitute the
lames of Dallas and Fort Worth
n the following yarn and visua-
ize what could happen when,
intj if, the Midway Airport near
Arlington becomes a reality.
The Odessa American tells
he sad, sweet story of a young
bride-to-be who bought an air-
ine ticket from Wichita Falls
o Odessa.
She arrived at the airport
used jointly by the two West
i'exas cities but didn't know it,
>ecause the hostess called Mid-
and and not Odessa.
Such incidents happen, vituper-
ited the Odessa paper, "be-
cause Midland is so jealous of
)dessa that the name Odessa is
not allowed to appear any-
where on or around the terminal
building midway between Odes-
sa and Midland."
Hit* Airlines
The paper also took a whack
at some airlines for not. includ-
ing Odessa on their schedules
and for not calling Odessa, as
well as Midland, for arrivals
and departures.
In this instance, the plane
taxied up to the terminal build-
ing and the stewardess called
Midland. The young lady, bound
for her future husband in Odessa,
looked out the window and saw
a sign hanging from the front
of the building. The sign said
Midland.
The next stop, she thought,
would be Odessa. Then the hos-
tess called San Angelo. The only
thing that kept the airline from
losing a hostess, when the young %
lady made known her predica-
ment, was the fact she wasn't
wearing a parachute, or so the
story goes.
But all's well that ends well,
at least for the young bride. She
was just in time to catch another
plane out of San Angelo going
in the opposite direction. The
wedding came off as per sche-
dule.
But the sign on the terminal ^
building of the Odessa-Midland, ^
or Midland-Odessa, airport still
says Midland.
Cleo Morrison Circle
Has Program Monday
On Ministerial Relief
Cleo Morrison circle of the
First Baptist Church had a f
benevolence program on minis-
terial relief Monday at the

ing her were Mrs. A. T. Bruce,
Mrs. W. M. Fomby, Mrs. G. L.
Odom, Mrs. Mildred Jones, Mrs.

Goff and Beatrice Rone.
An offering was made for re- ,
tired Texas ministers.
A letter was read from Cleo
Morrison, missionary to China,
by Miss Eula Green.
Carol Sue Jones and Barbara
Buck sang a duet. Mrs. V. L.
Elliott presided in the absence
of Miss Pauline Bailew, chair-
man.
