powder, says Mrs. W. C. Edmis-
ton. She's woman's midwest trap
shooting champion and one Of the
surest field shots in Nebraska and
she urges women everywhere to
find health in hunting.
Mrs. Edmiston's vitality is SO
Astounding, her face and figure SO
youthful, that people won't believe
her when she tells them she's 40.
She appears less than thirty.
She attributes her perfect health
to her trusty fowling piece.
