Travelling statesmen can tell you
folks who are about to embark on
vacations, just what effect changes
of climate, weather and water
mean. You go away for a good
time and wind up with headaches,
constipation and other annoying
results of faulty elimination. A
simple, safe and effective remedy
can quickly alter this unhappy
situation. Put the generous 6Oc
size bottle of HEXASOL in your
travelling bag and you're all set
for a happy, healthy trip. Ito eat,
drink and do what you like. Have
HEXASOL ready to relieve your
body of waste matter that clogs
your system and prevents the
natural elimination so essential to
good health. Many systems re-
Quire a little stimulus periodically.

GOOD TRAVELLING COMPANY
That's What Thousands Say About Hexasol
.. the Dependable Saline Laxative

Changes in seasonal weather often
have a bad effect. By keeping
the intestinal tract clear, you're
on the right track to continuous
good health. HEXASOL is not
habit forming. it is merely a gentle
stimulus to bowel regularity. If
you keep a bottle in the family
medicine chest, it will serve your
needs for a long time. 1t is as
economical as it is effective. For
over twenty-five years doctors have
recommended HEXASOL for gentle
safe, effective relief. you can
get HEXASOL at all drug stores
and the generous 6Oc size bottle
will serve for weeks or months,
depending upon your needs. No
specified doses, you use as much
or as little as your own require
ments dictate.

IT am glad to give my personal

am glad to recommend this new

stipation. BY combining the use
of honey for it's stimulating action
with whole wheat in crushed

finished. It was occupied by an
unmarried assistant director.
Further along. a saw-mill and
shop. Good machinery, but grossly
neglected and beginning to break
down. Lethargic men, working
slowly. The food was so poor,
they said, that they hadn't the
energy to turn in a good days
work.
"How lucky you are" said
one. "YOu can leave this cOun-
try whenever you want to.
They had been making furni-
ture for six months. None had
gone to the workers.
But our turn must come.
There isn't much more room in
the directors apartment"
Returning, we passed workers
who had finished their eight-hour
shift. They were cutting fire
wood in an attempt-it was
vain-to keep their barracks
warm.
DIRECTOR HAD FIRE
1.-THE exercise is good for
them" said an assistant direc-
tor that evening.
He warmed himself before a
fire, the wood for which had
been collected by his servant.
All this constituted good
many shocks, within a few hours,
for good Communists. They con-
tinued.
Next day we found here an
American family dare not give
the name-which had come to
"a workers country for square
deal" and on promise of good
schooling for their little girl.
The wan, slovenly woman said
that during six months they had
eaten potatoes, cabbage, cereal
and tea. In half a year they'd
had milk three times, meat twice.
Her husband had not been paid
in six weeks. There was no money
in the Sovkhos treasury.
"There is no school, no wages
and things get worse each
month";" she SObbed.
At the tractor repair shop men
we're paid piece rates, based on
time required to replace stand
ard part, from stock. But many
parts we're not in stock. Often
they spent half day making and
fitting a part. It would have
been a 15-minute job if the part
was in stock-so they were paid
for Is minutes.
They were extremely thin. Sores
around their mouths showed they
were losing strength through NAL

getting jobs we returned to Mos
COW and I handed a reserved and
detailed report on conditions to
the higest ranking Communists of
our acquaintance.
Directors of the farm came to
town and convinced important Of
ficials of the Commissariate of
Agriculture that we were no
friends of world revolution.
Nothing Happened
I admit we were naive enough
to expect result through our so
cordial official friends. Nothing
happened except that they were
no longer cordial. We had Of
Tended against the system. In our
crude American way we had as.
sumed that men had rights.

"NOt only do zoo doctors have
to contend with ordinary illnesses
of animals, but anacondas must be

Keeping Time in Music

One of the most difficult branches
of music which a player must mas
ter is that of keeping time, writes
an authority in the Montreal Her
aid. The mind is so concentrated
on the notes that their relative
length is forgotten, and where there
is chance of rhythm, the time is
invariably broken. To keep time
with a changing rhythm is certainly
no easy accomplishment. The first
beat may consist of two notes, the
second three, and perhaps eight
notes to the third beat, yet these
eight notes must not occupy more
time than the beat of two notes, ard
therein lies the difficulty.
