Ito Ease Women's
Pain: "BuiId-Up"

Do you suffer periodically from
headaches, nervousness, irritability,
restlessness or cramp-like pains?
If so, here's good news! These may
be symptoms of functional dysmen-
orrhea, which is so often caused by
undernourishment. By improving
THE appetite, digestion, assimilation,
through the proper use of CARDUI,
women by thousands find they are
able to build strength, energy, and
nerye-force. Thus periodical pain
is relieved for many users of
CARDUI. By taking it just before
and during "the time," women by
thousands report that CARDUI
also helps to ease the pain and
discomfort of the period.

storm on Sunday and Monday but
no material damage was done. The

rains. Timely shifts of the storm
to the north-northeast prevented
serious damage to the Rehoboth
Beach shore line during the storm.
Coast Guard at Lewes reported the
wind velocity at 80 miles. Monday
winds of As mile velocity swept the
lower Delaware area, driving be-
tween 25 and 80 ships to shelter.
Although the wind had subsided
considerably earlier in the day, Wis

A FORWARD MOVEMENT

Mrs. Henry B. Thompson, long a
leader in civic improvements at
Rehoboth, has sketched steps to
make an attractive and popular
shore and picnic area of Henlopen
acres, neighboring tract of state
owned land. This beach front land,
now wired off from use and over
grown with pine trees, she told the
Rehoboth Kiwanis Club, could be
made summer vacation ground
for rich and poor. Benches and
tables could be placed under the
pines for picnics. Free bath hous-
es could be provide so bathers
would not have to change their
clothes in automobiles. One care
taker could maintain the area.
With that view of the future, Mrs.
Thompson reviewed the present
and past, particularly the striking
growth of the resort from sandy
streets and poor lights on her first
visits there, to the present-day
modern streets, sidewalks, board
walks, sewers and water systems,
and Handicapped areas. City Man.
