Freddie Baxthoiomew is ai! fired up to enter the soap-box autb derby this year. He has been two months building his car and has kept it under the $lO cost limit required for entries. The wheels, he confesses, re quired a little chiseling. He got them in trade for some broadcast tickets. Jane Withers, whose personal appearance tour was highly successful, had to make the last leg of the trip here by bus. She netted $20,000 for four weeks in Chicago. Cleveland. Cincinnati and Detroit. Other cities clamored to give her bookings, but her contract at Twentieth Century-Fox limits the starlet to four weeks of personal appearances. Now that she’s back, she starts work immediately in a movie. Her salary isn’t $5,000 a week, as it is on the road, but it would look good I to us ordinary mortals. How about a hand for Jack Parry, a boy living in Canton. 0.7 Out of his school fund, he drew S3O. He put It in an envelope and , sent it registered mail to Jeanette 1 MacDonald, with the request that she distribute it to the flood sufferers.

If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn’t digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You get constipated. Your whole system is poisoned and you feel sour, sunk and the world looks punk. A mere bowel movement doesn’t get at the cause. It takes those good, old Carter’s Little Liver Pills to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel “up and up.” Harmless, gentle, yet amazing in making bile flow freely. Ask for Carter’s Little Liver Pills by name. 25c. Stubbornly refuse anything else.
