What YOU SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT
FACE PIMPLES

These disfiguring little spots often
result from slight, temporary dis
turbance, or merely from incorrect
cleansing, or sometimes they are
more persistent due to deeper in
ternal causes.
While properly treating the un-
derlying cause, you can relieve the
itchy, burning soreness and help
your skin by using an ointment that
will keep the medication in contact
with the pimply spots. Apply it
every night and leave it on all
night. It does world Of good.
For more than 40 years people
have used Resinol Ointment to fill
this need. 1t soothes the irritation
and aids healing. 1t also treats the
oil pores where many surface pim-
Piles start. Washing first with
Resinol Soap quickens the pleasing
results.

enjoying the welcome twilight. There
being no vacant chair nearby, he sat
down on the top step and rested his
shoulders against post, paying little
heed to the general conversation. Hop

She still was there at the desk.
From where he sat, Deeds could see

She always would be sweet. If he did

building permits will also be in-
augurated, tht copies being signed

Town officials have also author

ance of 1890 Galleries daily. The
800 calories deficit resulted in an
abrupt change in weight the first
two days. During the next IL days
on this same daily deficit she lost
no weight. She then started to
lose steadily and made up for all
lost time!
Your reducing experience may
be similar to this young woman's.
You may not have lost on an
honest caloric deficit, but you will
lose within this third week. That
is, you will If you continue your
program.
AS for you fortunate ones who
have lost five or six pounds, you
can expect to drop another four
pounds by the end Of the first
month. However, at no other
stage Of your program is it wise
or safe to lose 10 pounds in one
month. In the second month you
should not lose more than eight
pounds, and in the third month
not more than six pounds. If you
reduce faster than two pounds a
week, increase your daily caloric
intake by 200 until you have
checked this rapid loss.
Keep on with your reducing
program. A delayed weight loss
is normal, and regardless Of your
rate you can be very much slim

IMPERIAL VALLEY WAS
.SINGULARLY H0NORED.

Speaking of Roy Womack, it would
be a gross oversight not to recognize a
singular honor that was paid Imperial
Valley through him. Everyone knows
that Chevrolet Motor company Is an eX-
pert in merchandising. Therefore, when
they formulate business programs, they
call into conference those who are best
fitted to give sound advice.
About ten days ago, Chevrolet point
ed to 25 out of their thousands of deal
ers. These were key men in key loca-
tions. men who know their territories,
business markets and sales methods.
They told these men to come and advise
with headquarters.
One of the exclusive group was Roy
Womack. He came representing the en-
tire Southern California territory south
of Tehachapi. Although this includes
Los Angeles and the L. A. heavy pop
ulated area, no dealer went from the
metropolis, or any others of the cities
much larger than Ell CentrO.
That is high tribute, not only to
Womack individually but to the growing
Importance of Imperial Valley as a rep
resentative and important territory for
business growth.
