LOVING WIFE HELPS HUSBAND ON THE SLY Long-Standing Headaches Relieved Ho could not understand why the headaches he had been subject to were suddenly relieved. His wife told him, end he at once sat down and wrote the following letter;—’ “I am 62 years of age, and ever since J was a boy of ten years, I was subject to very bad headaches. But two years ago the headaches eased up—for what reason I did not know. I was surprised when one day my wife told me I had been using Kruschen Salts in my coffee for over two years. I am still using them, as I know of nothing finer.”—J. T. Headaches can often be traced to a disordered stomach, and to the unsuspected retention in the system of stagnating waste material which poisons the blood. Remove these poisons — prevent them forming again-—and you remove the cause of many aches and pains. And that is just how Krusphen Salts brings pleasant relief. Kruschen helps Nature to cleanse your body com pletely of all clogging waste matter.

I THE COMPLAINER You’ve seen the chap who starts a ’scrap’ With every job he tries; Who rails at 'fate and vents his hate In loud and lusty cries-1 His boss is mean! His pay is lean! His work is one long drudge! At home, in shop, without a stop: He bellows forth his grudge! Ah, this poor boy will ne’er enjoy The splendid victory That comes to him who works with vim; Whate’er his task may be! To any scout whose heart is stout, The honest, faithful tryer; Each job’s a prize, a chance to rise To something that is higher! Note to all motorists: A lily your hand gives you the right way over all traffic. in of It isnt the mountain ahead that tires you out, it’s the grain of sand in your shoe. It’s tough when folks lie about you, but it might be worse if they told the truth. « The requisite of nice people a de cade ago was poise—now it is pose.

Germany went to war, thoroughly prepared, as she considered it, but that mighty -preparedness has been unable to destroy British commerce. Great Britain’s important export trades are ably carrying out their double task ’of replenishing British products abroad in face of German propaganda. The current 'year has- constitut ed a period in which the difficul ties of war conditions Were greatly increased hy the disappearance of various .European markets. Yet the figures for that period show, that the results of the British ex port drive have been most encour aging, and actually have, increas ed. Taking ten leading categories and comparing the nine-months period of 1*939 with that of 194'0, there has been an average rise in export val ues in 1940, of over 35 per cent, ranging from li2 per cent in cot ton manufactures to over 66 per cent in silk ahd art silk. One of Great Britain’s export in dustries which has done well in difficult circumstances is the trade in electrical * goods and apparatus. The import figures', like those for exports, as said before, reveal ■how efficient is British control of the seas. Essential imports are going in at an even higher level than in 1939: they include grain and flour, iron ore and scrap, ores, raw cotton, steel metal manufactures oils, fats and resins, and vehicles. Iron ore and scrap imports rose by no less than abbut $30,00i0,000—an interesting aspect^ in view of the loss of many Continental sources of supply. Coarse ...............................
