for peace, from whatever direction
it comes. But it must take into ac

security, already amply stated; our
unrenounceable fight to expansion,
which had been sanctioned by treat
ies and authoritatively recognized,
and our sacrifices.”

•T'HE person to ask whether the
preparation you or your family
are taking for the relief of headache*
is SAFE to use regularly is your
family doctor. Ask him particularly
about “ASPIRIN.”
He will tell you that before the
discovery of “Aspirin” most “pain”
remedies were advised against by
physicians as bad for the stomach
and, often, for the heart. Which is
food for thought if you seek quick,
safe relief.
Scientists rate “Aspirin” among
the fastest methods yet discovered for
the relief of headaches and the pains
of rheumatism, neuritis and neural
gia. And the experience of millions
of users has proved it safe for the
average person to use regularly. In
your own interest remember this.
“Aspirin” Tablets are made in
Canada. “Aspirin” is the registered
trade-mark of the Bayer Company,
Limited. Look for the name Bayer
