lind Out
From Your Doctor if the "Pain" Remedy
 You Take Is Safe.
Don't Entrust Your Own or Your Fanily's We'll Being to Unknown
 Preparations

QEFORE you take any prepara- D tion you don't know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it --i in comparison with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
 We say this because, before the discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most so-called "pain" remedies were ad- 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 Gmong fhe fastest methods yct discopered for the relief of headaches and all common pains -. and sgfc for the average person to take regularly.
 You can get real Bayer Aspirin at 0nV drug store = simply by never asking for it by the name aspirin" alone. but always saying BAYER ASPIRIN when you buy.

That the Camp Fire movement Is
the most significant contribution IN
this century to education for leisure
time, was the statement made by
Arthur Peterson of San Diego college,
president of the Camp Fire council
of San Diego at the annual meeting
of the local council held in the Ten
Thousand club house Friday night.
There is no right use of leisure
time, he declared, except through
the spread of education. Technical
training does not fit the student for
a wise use of leisure time. With the
specialization existing today, the re-
duction in working hours, leisure
time is creating an ever increasing
problem which the schools can meet
only in part due to the fact that
mass education is such a gigantic
task that educators can not meet
their own goals.
Aids Education
Camp Fire is an agency outside
the schools which provides this ed
ucation for leisure time. You are
as young as your enthuSiamS" said
Dean Peterson. and Camp Fire does
much to build enthusiasms and in
terests to carry girls through life
Camp Fire furnishes an opportun-
ity for the attainment of happiness
and is significant contribution to
home life, giving the girls a realiza-
ton of The romance, the beauty of
every day life"
Miss Harriet Dively, Camp Fire
executive secretary for San Diego,
spoke enthusiastically on the sum-
mer camp, at Lack Cuyamaca which
local girls have been privileged to
attend through the courtesy of San
Diego council.
Thousands of dozens of doughnuts
made possible this lovely camp for
which the ground was given by Mrs
