Years

You were taught at school
that. your body undergoes a
complete change of structure
every seven years.
This tearing down and build
ing up process Of body tissue
continues without a moments
pause throughout life.
And when a man gets into a
physical condition that the tis-
sues keep breaking down and
wasting away faster than Ma
ture can replace them, right
then he begins to grow ''old''.
This doesn't necessarily
mean, however, that he has
reached an advanced age.
Thousands upon thousands of
people begin to break down,
their vital organs giving evil
dence of fast approaching de-
cay, long before they reach
middle age simply because
they fail to give Nature, at
the proper time, the needed
help to rebuild.
Ifyou are beginning to show
the slightest sign of a physical
''let-down"-if you are losing
your old time "pep" vim and
vigor-if high tension energy
and nervous strain are begin
ming to tell on you-it's q sure
sign that you are growing rold"
too old foryouryears. You've
reached that stage where your
vital forces need rebuilding.

led Omaha police an elusive chase
last spring through Nebraska, Iowa

for two days for an alleged theft OF
$3.50 from Louis Peterson, sig
North Seventeenth street.
Detectives say Slack stole the
money out of Peterson's room.

ceny. He was arrested with his
brother Roy in Missouri city at
the time, after Omaha police had
trailed both through Iowa, and Mis-
