-FOUR BEAUTIES

THERE are two of the 80 voting pre-
l oincts in Lansing, Michigan that "aint
what they should be-.
Readers of the Press may recall the
photograph run on the first page of We'd
nesday'S issue, showing one Carl A. Nor
lok, who was candidate for constable
at a recent Lansing election, carrying 81
out of the 80 precincts.
Morlok advanced four fine arguments
why he should be elected and the photos
of the four arguments appeared on his
campaign ticket, being the Misses Edna
A, Wilma B., Sarah c., and Helen d.
MOrlok, each of whom is year and
half old, having arrived in the Morlok
home in one group year ago last May.
We don't know single thing about
Morlok but with the four arguments he
presented we don't see how anyone could
have voted against him. The daddy of
four fine youngsters such as he has ought
to make mighty good constable. We
can't even think of him going wrong, for
they Just wouldn't let him and we don't
think he would want to do anything that
he shouldn't do, with four of kind in his
charge.
In other words the four little Morloks
were a Quadruple guarantee to the peo-
pie of Lansing that they could get per-
fectly fine constable, really unique con-
stable, for constables who are the fathers
of bankruptcies are just about as scarce
as hens teeth.
Personally we think it is one of the
finest pictures we have ever placed in
the Press and if you can't remember what
it looked like, we suggest that you dig up
your copy of Wednesdays paper, take
look at the four little Morloks and if you
don't blossom out with smile that comes
right from the heart, you had better go
see a doctor.

GOOD WORK, NAVY

AGAIN the United States navy has
n placed score on the right side of its
ledger in the rescue of the crew of the
wrecked steamer Baden Baden from what
appeared to be certain death in the Car
rlbean Sea.
From Monday until the mine sweeper
Swan hove in sight yesterday, the II sur
vivors of the crew had been at the mercy
of a stormy sea, suffering the pangs of
hunger and thirst but hanging grimly to
life in the hope Of rescue.
This hope, heightened by the knowl-
edge that low flying aviator had seen
them and would give word of their plight,
must have also been somewhat dimmed
when safety, as represented by the plane,
passed so near them and yet was help
less to offer immediate relief.
Following announcement of their per-
ilOus condition as reported by the flyer,
an intensive search was prosecuted by the
navy, planes and boats being used, but
without success until the Swan CHANGED
upon the lifeboat carrying the II men.
To us, who are secure in the safety of
our homes, it may be Just an incident in
the days news, but it is a certainty that the
little group who saw death reckoning to
them, have an entirely different angle on
it.
AS stated before in this column, the
navy has penchant for being on the job,
not only in war but in peace.

Girls Who
Slump


Thousands Of girls who drag
themselves around certain days of
every month"; Painful periods that
need not be painful-that are not
painful to those who know Of
Midol. These wonderful tablets
make monthly periods, an Incl
dent. No pain, not even discom-
fort when you have learned to de-
pend on Midol; the women who
used to have the hardest time have
found this to be true.
This marvellous product Is the
work of specialists. 1t is not a
narcotic, but it stops the pain just
the same in five to seven minutes.
And if you take it in time, the pain
never even starts. Every drug store
has Midol in trim metal pocket
case for fifty cents, so it is folly to
suffer! Many have found Midol
the quickest relief for headaches,
neuralgia, neuritis and other pain.
