Hawker and Grieve
are alive and we'll and
planning for another
flight over the ocean.
May they succeed in
their next attempt.
Nothing has so touched
the hearts of the people
since the war ended as the
attempt of these brave men
to bring the honor OF the
first over-ocean fight to
their home-country.
We take our hats off to
men of such courage. We
thank heaven that they
have been spared for future
usefulness. We need such
men.
We would also pay hom-
age to- the little. wife who
absolutely refused to ad-
NIT that "her man" was
lost.
With such confidence on
her part, we don't wonder
that Hawker was willing
to sacrifice everything to
accomplish what experts
estimated was a 100 to l
chance.
OF course We want Amer
leans to be first to ny
across the Atlantic. and yet
1t would be no disgrace to
be beaten by q man like
Hawker.

poisons formed in sluggish intes-

These body poisons are absorbed by

properly. Unfortunately it is usually
I ct until then that the doctor is con-

'Tk surest way of purifying the
bI-cd and preventing the formation
of these destructive body poisons is
to prevent stagnation of food waste
i the intestinal tract-to prevent
constipation.
G :nstipation is not a matter to be
taken lightly or neglected. Hcr is

Nuiol prevents stagnatio= by softening
