Wears Lovely Dresses
 NoWSince Losing 49 Pounds of Fat
Get That Youthful Feeling of spir. itcd Actiyity-That Glorious
 krusclien Feeling

A roly.poly, overweight woman can't possibly wear the new fiatter- !rg styles-bcsidcs the best bar gains and most charming dresses come in the smaller sizes.
 So get busy, girls. with Krusch- en Salts-get rid of double chins, chunky legs and ugly bulging rolls of fat above the corset line-with- out starving and without loss of strength or pep.
 As a matter of fact when you faithfully take your little daily dose" of Kruschen first thing every morning in a glass of hot or cold water-you gain in energy and vi- tality-you increase physical charm (skin clears. eyes grow bright) all while you're achieving your goal a youthful. slender figure.
 Mrs Di Salvo of Woodhaven, L. l.. writes: "Only a few months ago I weighed 1S7 and never could get nice dress to fit. Now from a A dress to a size 20-weight, 13S. Many thanks to Kruschen. I've re- commended it to all my friends"
 A jar of Kruschen that lasts 4 weeks costs but trifie at any drugstore the world over. Money back if not joyfully satisfied with results. But for your health's sake make sure you get Kruschen-it's s the SAFE way to reduce-pre- scribed by physicians.

Flea Jump Spreads Plague
Federal Scientists Find That Private Investigation

U.S.. From the "Black Deah.'

the entomologisS guessed the theory
would break dow. x
So fine measuaments were made Of
the jumping ahlity Of rat neas and
this was found come within the re-
quirements It tacticalJy clinched the
case for the docbrs who held that bu-
bonic plague wa spread by rats. I'm
mediately q canpaign was started to
clean up San fancisco Of rats and
the dreaded fease was held in
bounds until it Absided. A few years
later the plague 1btained another foot
hold in New Or3ans, but a systematic
attack on the ras soon brought it un-
der control.
Plague Route in United States.
Since then, la3ely as direct result
of these hea-jlhping measurements,
ship quarantine regulations have been
enforced all .overthe earth whi:h have
practically closed the ports Of Europe
and North Ameria to the black death,
although there it'll are threatening

DR.. Riley cannt find that q penny
Of Government honey ever was spent
on an investigatin the significance Of
which to the Aherican people could
not be measured in terms of money.
The work was doe by private investi-
gators. So the APARTMENT Of Agricul-
ture entomologis, are feeling better
about it, and whh they see a cartoon
showing some stctacled, long-whisk-
cred old fellow Supposed to represent a
scientist looking ravely at jumping
flea through microscope they feel in
clined to have Il engraved and made
into an entomoldical medal Of honor.
He himself, DR. Riley says, included
this information ! a textbook of medi-
cal entomology : years ago, but OBJ

intimates that he only expense to

information which they could look up
themselves In an elementary textbook.
That's all the Government entomologist
does In answering them.
How Far = Frog Leaps.
The same applies, he says, to
charges that the Department Of Com
merce has been devoting q good deal of
energy to finding out how far q frog can
leap. The information on this, he
says, presumably Is derived from field
notes Of early nattiralists, and there Is
no record that q Government scientist
ever did more than look 1t up In some
standard publication on frogs.
Entomologists both at the Washing
ton laboratories and at the State expert
mental stations, DR.. Riley points out,
continually are called upon to drop
their more serious research work to
look up the data on elementary phases
of insect life.. Every letter requires an
answer, and 1t Is little more effort to
supply the required information than to
write that such information will not be
furnished. The entomologist is pub

II partment Of Agriculture u. y lure about about
ago and received the desired
information by return mail. As 4 re-
suit, Bureau of Entomology members
claim, the incident is being kicked
around the country as lurid example
of how Government scientists are frit-
tering away time and the taxpayers
money.
At first the scientists were caught of
their guard They couldn't recall when
or by whom the jumping agility Of the
flea had been tested and were at loss
to give a valid reason for such an in
vestigation. The question had been
answered out Of book as part of the
days routine.
DR.. w. A. Riley, chief entomologist
Of the Minnesota experiment station,
has just come to the rescue Of his col
leagues by delving into the history OF
the case. First. he found, the Depart
ment of Agriculture didn't make the
original study, although the entomolo-
gists now wish they could claim credit
for an activity some of them were eager
to disclaim few days ago. Secondly,
he found, this determination Of the
acrobatic propensities Of the flea was a
vital factor in saving the United States
from the ravages Of one Of the most
dreaded OF all epidemics and probably
has been instrumental in saving scores
of thousands of lives all over the world.
"BIack Death" Probe.
The question was first investigated,
according to word just received from
Dr. Riley, in 1906. when there was an
o,,tbreak in San FranciSco Of huh0Dic
plague, the dreaded black death
which during the middle ages literally
depopulated parts of Europe. There
was well-grounded suspicion at the
time that this disease was spread by
rat fleas which carried it from rat to
rat and from rat to man, rather than
by direct contagion. The validity OF
this theory rested on an accurate
knowledge Of just how far flea could
leap from one animal to another, and If
the distance was slightly less than

We believe the fact that our customers re-

to The Hecht Co. to spend their money on one
day during this crisis, we think that they and
additional thousands would have been inter-
ested to see this story in print, to see pictures
Of the crowds in which they participated, pub

In our humble judgment, this story would
have been Of more relative Importance to our
