 SARCON DAILY
Vast Growing Army of SargOn Users, Marching Single File, Would Encircle Globe in
 Only Few Years Time.

More like tale from the Arab ian Nights of old than a record of modern business achievement reads the story of the marvellous growth and development of Sargon, the New Scientific Compound which has become the sensation of the drug trade throughout the United States, Canada and other countries.
 The old illustration of the pebble dropped into the pool best describes the phenomenal and unprecedented dsmand and it's fame is rapidly spreading over the entire American Continent like a great tidal wave.
 Recently compiled figures reveal that approximately 15,000 men and women are marching into the drug stores daily for Sargon and Sargon Soft Mass Pills, the marvellous new treatment that is restoring health to countless thousands by new and remarkable methods undreamed of only a few years ago.
 Already more than 5,000,000 suf- fering men and women have put it to the test and have told other millions what it has done for them.
 Marching in regulation U. S. Army fashion-single file-this vast army of Sargon users would reach from New York to San Francisco and at the present rate of sale would, in few years time, encircle the entire globe.
 The only explanation of Sargon's triumph in the Medical World is Sargon's true worth. Back of it's triumph in the drug stores is it's triumph in the homes and it is the grateful endorsements of it's mil- lions of users that has made it the most widely talked of medicine in the world today.
 Sargon is extensively advertised, it is true, but no preparation, no matter how extensively advertised, could possibly meet with such phenomenal success unless it pos- sessed absolute merit and extra ordinary powers as medicine.
 There can be but one possible ex- planation for Sargons amazing suc- cess and it can be told in one word, MERIT. For sale by Butler, Mauro Drug Go. --adv..

c. Paddock may get points for being in there trying, but the one time chug-chug boy of the cinder paths has about as much chance of crashing the Olympics sprint team this year as the old lady from Dubuque.
 The blond Texas who raced into the sprint spotlight in California has always been a game runner, but four years ago he was barely able to make the Olympic team as the fourth entry at 200 meters. He was nowhere in the competition at Amsterdam.
 That was his third Olympiad, an extraordinary achievement in it. self. No doubt the thought of the games at Los Angeles this year is father to the idea of his taking another whirl.
 The prospect of any veterans such as Paddock making a come back in the Olympic features, is further reduced by the fact that only three individual entries, in- stead of four, will be permitted in each event.

BY Marqery Hale

The ringing of the telephone wakened Ruth Bradley early the morning after. she left home. For q second she was quiet. not moving, trying to remember where she was, what had happened, if the bell was an alarm clock or q doorbell. Then she remem bered. She reached across to the desk and picked up the phone.
 "Yes?" She said it softly, ques- tioningly.
 Ruth Bradley? How will 10 o'clock do for your rehearsal 2"
 "Oh" She knew that the round word collapsed just like a balloon but she couldn't help it. She had so hoped that she would hear Dr Raynor's voice at the other end of the line. That was ridiculous, she told herself. She didn't want Joe Raynor to know that she had stay ed there the night before. But if he did know. she wanted to set things straight at once, her inner self went on arguing. It was Dale Courtney to whom she was speak ing on the telephone.
 Then I'll have the orchestra get the score ready" the mans voice answered calmly. Ruth thought she heard him laughing.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-02-04

She wasn't sure. Then he spoke again. I'm sorry l didn't turn out to be the person you thought 1 would be-"
 Who else could 1t have been but you?' Ruth answered gaily, NO one else knows my address. I'm moving out to-day. though. I'll see you pretty soon. Good-by."
 She packed before she left the room. It was dreary place in the ! early morning light. The dull mir Tor made her face look gray and ghastly. She dabbed some per- fume back of her ears, around her lips, in the warm hollow at her neck. The odor of anesthetics would banish it soon enough. But for little while she needed the wholesome sweetness of the lilacs.
 Dressed, she went downstairs, turned in her key at the desk and wandered onto the street. She didn't want to go any place for breakfast where she would be known. A coffee shop sign spark led down the street. She went in and found a place at counter that was hidden by large coffee urn.
 She tried to face the thing she had done. She had left home. Her father and mother had demon- strated very clearly that they would sacrifice her reputation as well as her happiness if 1t would save Sally from the folly of Sally's own sins. Sally had proved again that she would like to escape trouble, not minding that her lies involved her sister. And Ruth was free. She would keep her own salary. She reflected ruefully that Sally would not have many clothes now. There would be no one at home to do the family errands, sew up hems, dust and arrange flowers. The one maid would have to work overtime, or her mother and sister would have to get busy.
 Ruth decided not to go to school at all. She called the superintend- ent's office and explained that she couldn't come in until afternoon.
 "Are you ill, Miss Bradley?" so sorry. You are so faithful that we know that something is really wrong when you are absent. I hope you will be better soon"
 Ruth thanked her and hung up. She leaned against the wall in the pay station for a few seconds be- fore she went on the street. She was so faithful, she reflected, that there was no danger at all that she would be caught. So steady. So reliable. So. uninteresting Now if it had been....
 You've got to snap out of this" she told herself. You're not go- ing to keep comparing yourself with Sally! You're you! And you're interesting. And you're going to the theater and do your stuff!'
 With that resolve she started down the street again.
 NEXT - Ruth Meets Sue.

No matter how much you may this yea, crows feet give your years away.
 By crows feet I do not mean those nice little fine laugh lines that experience brings a woman who has met valiantly, with high heart.
 Eyes that crinkle as they laugh are tremendously pleasing.
 But there are lines about eyes that come from other causes and do not have the same pleasing effect.
 The best ways to treat these fine lines is to prevent them. This means that you who are under 30 should be giving the delicate skin around your eyes plenty of oil in which to thrive. It seems that you should keep the fine muscles firm by gentle massage.
 If you have slipped up on pre- vention and lines are appearing that you greatly regret, the least you cam do is to work keeping them from growing deeper.
 Often these lines come from eye strain. See specialist. Perhaps you need glasses for reading
 Avoid eye strain. Make sure your house lighting system is all 1t should be. And. rest your eyes sev- eral times day. The best way to do this is to lie down, with a hot pack on them. Fifteen minutes really does wonders, if you take that much time out from your routine about II o'clock in the morning and between four and five in the afternoon.
 Begin immediately to give the flesh around your eyes daily mas sage. There are eye muscle oils that are very good. And nourishing cream that is very rich will do. But oils are really better Massage from the nose out to the temple below the eye. Lift your finger and massage from the nose out to the temple over the lid. At the corners of the eye massage in circular line. This all helps lot. But you must do it religiously. morning and night, If you really want results.

The Good Taste girls wanted to send Nancy a valentine. But what sort should it be? They wanted to make it themselves, and yet none of them were artists of such skill or genius that their handi- work was good enough to hang permanently on the walls of the Page home.
 Angela had an idea.
 "Why couldn't We get an old flower print and use 1t with some lace paper and then frame it?"
 The girls raised numerous ob- jections. Finally they did work out a scheme which was most sat isfactory.
 First they took their flower print and scalloped the edges of the margin of white paper on the print.
 Then they laid it over a lace paper dolly of approximately the same general shape. That Is. an oval flower print was not laid on a round paper dolly.

such fruits as oranges and grape fruit and other so-caiied "acid" fruits aggravated any rheumatic condition was widespread. How ever, we now believe that these fruits have an alkaline rather than an acid reaction in the blood and are hence an excellent food for the rheumatic sufferer.
 In any diet composed of much meat it Is particularly essential to include fruit and vegetables. Veg etables add the necessary bulk as well as mineral salts and vitamins while the fruit counteracts the formation of acids due to eating a large quantity of protein.
 Any meal is made more interest ing and nutritious by the pudicious use of fruit. As cocktail the appetite is stimplated and the flow of digestive juices increased. Fruit served as a salad with plain French dressing provides contrast in navors between the main course and the sweet course.

Then they laid this over piece of cardboard which has been cov- cred with gold paper, having quite a margin or mat of gold. The whole thing was put in a frame of black touched up with gold.
 They liked the one so well they made a companion piece.
 As they worked with the idea it was suggested they might use silver paper in place of gold, they might tint the frame in soft green or the predominant color of the flower print.
 Lacking old flower prints they might use a lowered spray from wall paper, from a garden and seed catalogue. even from a piece of glazed chintZ.
 If they needed 8 large bouquet they could cut it from pieces of colored paper or combine sprays from a number of sources.
