BEFORE you take any prepara-
II ton you don't know all about,
for the relief of headaches: or the
pains of rheumatism, neuritis or

thinks about tin comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-called pain" remedies were adj
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year
in and out without ill effect, have
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fastest
methods yet discovered for the relief
Of headaches and all common pains

to take regularly.
You can get real Bayer Aspirin at

Senators and representatives who

The decision destroyed not only the

The dissenting opinion held that the
AAA was a legitimate employment of

man who posed as policeman,

man criminally assaulted her
after she had been attacked by
the supposed policeman, she is

One was arrest d Saturday

Maier, who is held at the Fifth

Idaho Senator will have no cause
for complaint, Landon forces to-
day neared completion of a tenta-
tive fighting, liberal" Republican
party platform.
Shouldering the responsibility,
the Landon forces mover forward
boldly on the platform issue. The
platform will go farther than
Borah on the anti-monopoly issue,
will agree with him in pledging to
avoid European alliances and will
contain real pledges to the farm
ers, but there will be no rubber
dollar" said a spokesman for the
dominant platform forces.
Peek's Hand Seen
George N. Peek, former AAA
administrator and now foe Of the
Roosevelt farm policy, made dra-
matte but secretive entrance into
the platform councils to aid in
writing the farm plank.
AS the national convention got
under way, former Senator Wal

Vital planks in the tentative
platform included.
/. A strong nationalistic decla-

with pledge not to involve Amer

2. An anti-monopoly plank,
