, The 191L: football seaspn for the
Gpaham Steer* was launched meet
auspiciously last Friday. This first
gam* was not only auspicieaa-'be-

was the splendid spirit of sport*,
manship displayed. Knowing how
hard it ia for youthto sdeept de-

fine spirit shown by the Olney Cube.

agreeably surprised in the trend of
thought developed. From the com-'

Mrs. Mae West of St. Louia, Mo.,
writes: “I’m only 28 year* old and
170 lbs. until taking one box
Rruschen Salts just 4 weeks
ago. I now weigh 1R0 lbs. I also
have more energy and furthermore
I’ve never had a hungry moment.”
Fat folks should take one half tea-

of hot water in the .morning before
breakfkst — It’s the '8AFE, harmless
way to reduce as tens of thousands
of men and women know.
For your health's sake ask for and
get Kruschep at any drug store—
