Don't Be
Fat!
Says Lovely Irene Rich
Now, without following a strict
diet list, or taking exercises
or drugs, it is possible to
safely lose excess weight.
IN every section of the country to-
/ day, women have marveled at the
wonders of a safe, easy reducing
method which requires no strict
diet lists; no strenuous exercises; no
drugs. Increases energy as weight
goes down. It's the identical method
DR.. Damrau of New York used in
tests among a group of Intelligent
and cooperative people who followed
directions implicitly, and was re-
sponsible for an average loss IN
weight of pounds per month.
UnbeIievsbIy Easy To Follow
All you do is mix "a glass of Welch
Grape Juice with u glass Of water
and drink before meals and at bed
time. Then eat sensibly which
means you avoid overeating; thus
reducing caloric intake considerably.
Then this happens: First this deli
cious drink satisfies your craving for
rich, sweet foods. You have less de-
sire to overeat fattening foods but
you never suffer hungry moment.
Second, the natural dextrose in
Welch's is quickly consumed, and
by this process not only aids nature
in consuming excess fat but also
increases your energy.
That is why weight is lost natu-
rally: why you not only look better
but actually feel better; have more
energy. And this proved method is
Just as beneficial and effective for
overweight men, as it is for over
weight women.
Do This One Important Thing
There is only one thing to watch
eat sensibly, which means you avoid
overeating, and be sure to use only
genuine Welch Grape Juice, selected
by DR.. Damrau in his convincing
test. Welch's is always full strength.
1t contains full measure of natural
dextrose which is so important. And
because Welch's is always full
strength, it is delicious when diluted
very economical to use. Start this
proved reducing method today and
watch your energy go up as your
weight goes down.

rapidly ending in German victory,
the Nazi high command declared,
with the remaining British and
French troops squeezed into tlght

"cut TO ribbons" and captured en-
maSSc.
German military quarters asserted
that the Albed army of the north
was fighting gallant but lost bat
tie and predicted that the remain

forced TO capitulatc within "a few
hours
They asserted the Allied forces
had been jammed into two narrow,
isolated pockets along the sea where
they are under constant, hour-by-
hour bombardment from the Ger
man air forces and artillery fire.
The British air ministry reported
however that the royal air force had
thrown all it's power into a drive
TO aid the beleaguered Allied armies
of the north.
The ministry reported that the
RAF had succeeded in harassing
and impeding the German advance
against the northern forces by con-
tinuous attacks on railways, roads
and bridges.
The attacks went on hour after
hour throughout last night anc
all day today
The ministry asserted that a for
nation of Hurricane and Paul De-
fiant fighters engaged a huge force
of German bomberS near Dunklrk
and brought down % enemy ships
without a single British loss.
A British news agency said that
in the face of terrific odds the NOR

1t was considered certain that

1t was just barely cool when Lee
Nuffer drew off his clothes and
retired beneath the rough touch
of blankets. In the air was the
smell of sage and above him were
the stars. His mind was probably
filled by that comfortingly superior
feeling of the pioneer, because he
was on camping trip below the
border and this was real "roughing
it
Scarcely a half hour later, when
the rest of the camp was asleep
Lee stirred. Trembling from the
chill he got up, left the blankets
and donned his underclothes and
returned to sleep In half an hour
he was up again and this time
Hut on his shirt. An hour later he
arose again and slipped on his
pants.
The late moon was coming up
when Lee put on his socks and
tried to go to sleep again. 1t was
no use: he was still cold. He got
up and put on sweater and an
hour later added coat. BY the
time dawn was breaking and the
camp stirring Lee arose for the
last time. The only thing left to
put on was his shoes!
II didn't get any sleep, but I was
the first one dressed, anyhow" he
said philosophically.
