PROMPT AND GENEROUS
ASSISTANCE TO THE ALLIES
MAY KEEP US OUT OF WAR
The attitude of the people of
the United States towward the
struggle in Europe depends upon
certain factors:
Those who believe with Colonel
Lindbergh, that this nation can
live and prosper although Hitler
dominates Europe and that there
is no danger that a victory over
the British and French will cause
Hitler to attack this hemisphere
ought to resolutely turn their
faces against extending any as-
sistance to the democratic na-
tions now fighting for their free-
dom.
Those who believe that our way
of living, and our well-being, will
be seriously threatened unless the
democracies of Europe are saved
should positively insist that the
United States extend every as-
sistance to the democracies, short
of actual war, at/this time.
'Certainly, those who see a fun-

We wish we could believe that
Hitler, if triumphant, would
agree to just terms for his ene-
mies, that he would be willing to
live and let others#live, and that
he cherishes an ideal of justice
for the peoples of the world. Un-
fortunately, there is nothing in
his record, and little in the record

^Build-Up*7 Important
Protector of Women
A weak, undernourished condition
often enables functional dysmenor-
rhea to get a foothold; thus leads
to much of woman’s suffering from
headaches, nervousness, and other
periodic discomfort.
CARDUI’S principal help for such
distress comes from the v/ay it
usually stimulates appetite; in-
creases flow of gastric juice; thus
aids digestion; helps build energy,
strength, physical resistance to
periodic pain for many.
Another way, many women find
help for periodic distress: Take
CARDUI a few days before and dur-
ing “the time.” Women have used
ClARDUI for more than 50 years!
Because we believe that a tri-l
umph for Hitler would mean in-
evitable war for the United]
States, whereas a victory for
the Allies would mean the peace-
ful and orderly development of
civilization, we feel that this]

How One Woman Lost
20 Pounds of FAT
Lost Her Prominent Hips
Lost Her Double Chin
Lost Her Sluggishness
Gained a More Shapely Figure
and the Increase in Physical Vigor
and Vivaciousness Which So Often
Comes With Excess Fat Reduction.
Thousands of women are getting
fat and losing their appeal just be-
cause they do not know what to do.
Why not be smart — do what
thousands of women have done to
get off pounds of unwanted fat.
Take a half teaspoonful of Kruschen
in a glass of hot water first thing
every morning to gently activate
liver, bowels and kidneys—cut down
your caloric intake—eat wisely and
satisfyingly—there need never be a
hungry moment!
Keep this plan up for 30 days.
Then weigh yourself and see if you
haven’t lost pounds of ugly fat.
Just see if this doesn’t prove to be
the surprise of your life and make
you feel like shouting the good news
to other fat people. And best of all
a jar of Kruschen that will last you
for 4 weeks costs but little. If not
joyfully satisfied—money back.
