Lost Ugly Fat
Her Husband Says She Looks Five Years Younger!

There is a certain weight at which every woman looks her loveliest-not skinny underweight nor pendulous overweight, but nor nal weight. We find artists, doc- tors, theatrical producers (and husbands!) all agreed upon this point. My husband says look five years younger" writes this lady of 29 who-thanks to her daily dose of Kruschen Salts-has unburden- ed her body of IS pounds of ugly fat. Read her letter:-
 Having heard from . friend of mine that sue lost considerable weight since taking Kruschen's salts, started using them in July lost weight steadily since then. and am now 150 lbs-my normal weight. Moreover, I feel brighter and more energetic in every way.
 sT have inquired of my dressmak- gu4t last were Bust 40. hips 431k. walst 33k inches which fs normal for my height, which fs 5 fl. 8 in. My age is zO. My husband ts n very severe critic. He says look i've years younger. There fs no except Kruschen, as | do not take any particular diet.',

 \ bottle of Kruschen Salts that win last four weeks costs but a trife-take as directed every morn ing. When the jar Is empty get on the scales and see how many pounds you have lost. Attention to diet will help-cut down on pas- try and fatty meats-go light on
 But remember this: to take off fat harmlessly and SAFELY be sure for your health's sake that you ask for and get Kruschen Salts. Get them at your druggists or any drugstore in the world and If the results one bottle brings do not delight you--do not joyfully satisfy you-why money back.

GIRL NFORMER
 BEATEN TO DEATH
 BY UNKNOWN MEN

Cleveland. April 2o.--(UP)--A pretty. titian-haired divorcee who acted as an investigator for private detective agents and reputedly as a federal informer, was beaten to death early to-day in an apartment where sch had gone with three men after speakeasy party. Mrs Kathryn Jones, 23, was found mortally wounded, when officers of a scout car which chanced to halt outside the building heard her scream for help. Her three alleged companions were captured as they emerged from a side en- trance of the building. They de- nied knowledge of the killing.
 Detectives immediately investf- lvated the theory she may have been killed because of her activities as an investigator. They said they hahd bene informed that she had acted for federal prohibition agents. Save me! Help! They're kiIling mel" the woman had shouted. The officers rushed inside to find the pretty operative crumpled at the foot of a flight of stairs. She died few minutes later of a frac- tured skull and broken neck.

ROOSEVELT

Another favorite son has with
drawn from the Democratic Presi-
dental contest, and Gov. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt stands to profit
hereby to the extent of 18 ad-
ditional delegates.
Declaring he was not a candi-
date, and that he desired only
party harmony, Senator Joe T.
Robinson, requested the Arkansas
State Committee at it's meeting in
Little Rock today not to pledge
Arkansas delegates to his sup
port. His brief announcement
carried no mention of other can
didates, but it is we'll known
where Robinson's sympathies lie.
In common with other southern
leaders, he is for Roosevelt.
Planned Program
Senator Robinson's move is a
part of a carefully planned pro-
gram by the Roosevelt lieuten-
ants. First, Senator Cordell Hull,
OF Tennessee, who was expected
to get his States "a votes, in
dicated that he did not want to
be considered candidate.
This was followed by Senator
Alben w. Barkley, of Kentucky,
making a similar announcement
concerning Kentucky's 26 dele
gates, and now Senator Robin
son follows suit. All are for
Roosevelt.
Has 164 Delegates
AS matters stand today, Gov
ernor Roosevelt has 164 delegates
either pledged, instructed, or so
plainly ear-marked for him that
there is no question of their af-
filiation. The New Hampshire,

gates are instructed, and Ken

These markings on the skin
