ing on the Fisher Body Company's

sembly line. a foreman stood be-
hind, timing him with a watch in
hand.

had been taken from a highly
unionized" assembly line and
given to other lines. He said a
demand for increased output was
made with the introduction Of
each new model.

"FOr we've all got sex appeal.
Then Rorke cried into the micro
phone:
"Oh, Mrs. Simpson,"
Seven minutes of the musical
revue in which Rorke was a lead
ing actor were Immediately cut
off. There was an embarrassing
silence, then an announcer said:
Eve apologize to all the listen
ers for the unfortunate lapse Of
taste which occurred earlier in
the program"
Rorke explained:
"I was supposed to say, oh,

was a terrible mistake. 1 can't
imagine how that other word
slipped out"

Indigestion
Causes Much Stomach Distress


Nervous indigestion is q condition
which retards or delays digestion, re-
sulting in the formation Of an excess
sive quantity of gas. This gas often
forces the stomach upward against the
heart, causing lightning jabs Of pain in
the chest, palpitation or difficult
breathing. In many cases gnawing
pains are felt in the stomach, when
empty, but are relieved by eating.
Ordinary stomach medicines give
little or no help because they do not
reach the source Of this trouble. If
you want genuine, lasting relief, take
Baalmann's Gas Tablets which are
compounded especially for nervous in
digestion and all discomfort due to
excess gas in stomach and bowels.
Tbs very first dose should convince you
Of their merit. Guaranteed harmless.
Ask for Baalmann's Gas Tablets at any
