DRY R5NKERS

E. G. Forbes. who writes of business
and financial topics, has been mingling
with the bankers. and he finds among
these men of responsibility and high po-
Sition a growing tendency to respect and
observe the prohibition laws. AS most
of them are in Il position TO evade the
regulations comfortably if they want to.
that fact is significant.
According TO Mr.. Forbes, the abstain
ing citizens are actuated by two motives.
One is that they realize, as they did not
earlier in the prohibition regime. the
gravity of their breaking and the
contempt for law to which they were ac-
cessory. The second motive for their re-
form is that they are convinced by close
observation that prohibition is a good
thing that it is releasing money for
BODYBUILDING, for savings, sound invest
ment and business enterprise which for
merly went for less wholesome expendi-
lures
Some of these men have stopped seTv-
ing or drinking liquors although they
possess considerable pre-prohibition
stocks Others are on the way to SINH
lar restraint; and all agree in declaring
that once their stuff is gone they will
make no attempt to get more.
1t is sad news for those wet facSonists
who have argued that industry and
finance suffered from prohibition.

Vitamines

Thousands of men and women are
falling offin health and vigor because
the food they eat is lacking in one
element, without which they cannot
keep fit. This element is Vitamine.
Ordinary meatsand fish donot contain
It. Milk is not rich in it. Manufac-
tured foods have the Vitamines
destroyed in the process of manufac
ture. Some fruit juices are rich in
Vitamines. \ careful examination of
experiments conducted by both
British and American authorities
shows that Oranges contain an album
dance of both "B" and sc" Vita
mines and Apples contain a relatively
rgeamounto fthese vital substances.
Why is it that 'Fruit-a-tives gives
such marvellous resultsin overcoming
Constipation, Impure Blood, Starved
Nerves and a rundown system?
Because t:'Truit-a-tives is a true
fruit medicine-the only medicine in
the world made from intensified fruit
juices. "Fruit-a-tives is rich in the
"B" and "C'' Vitamines, derived
from the juices of oranges and apples.
To take Fruit-a-tives regularly,
is to supply the system with the Vita
mines which are needed and which are
absolutely necessary to health.
