1T CAN BE DONE
II isn't easy to TIGHTEN up slack
abdominal muscles but it can be
done. Not in a few weeks, dear
piumpies, but certainly in few
months. 1t is a crime against the
public eye to let the figure 90 to
waste. or the waistline to extend
itself beyond the laws of good pro-
portions. Musculatu"e has become
ike a worn out rubber band. has
no reSiliency. To tone heavy fibers
that are inteflacinp, from the line
OF the lower ribs to the hips and
thighs requires a daily workout.
Are you ready? All right! Here
goes!
Take careful measurements of
Walstline and hips. If you can nip
off half an inch you will be encour-
aged to go on with your beauty

SKIN TIGHTENING
SCIENTIFICALLY MEASURED

final photographs was measured on
specially designed electro-photom-
eter. Thus, for the first time, the
measurement of skin tightening was
removed from guesswork and put
under strictly scientific standards.
The results of these tests were
positive and amazing. In the case OF
all six subjects the skin became meas
urably lighter and more attractive.
In addition, the careful daily exami-
nation of the skin of each subject
showed otherveryimportantbe benefits.
PimpIes, BIackheads Removed
The six subjects had a total of 164
pimples at the start of the tests.
After six weeks use of Nadinola, Ill
of them (609o) were found to have
been removed without recourse to
diet or internal medication. The
effect of this removal was a crafty
ing and almost unbelievable improve
ment in the subjects appearance.
This improvement was even more
apparent to the eye than in the sworn
'before and after" photographs. a
Five of the six subjects were found,
at the beginning of the tests, to be
troubled with blackheads. A careful
count for these five subjects showed
SO blackheads in the skin at the be-
ginning of the experiments and II at
the close.
OF the II removed, only five were
removed by finger pressure; the rest
of them disappearing without any
squeezing out by the subject. The
pressure removal, as matter of fact,
was done to demonstrate how the use
of the cream acted to loosen and
soften large, stubborn blackheads,
thus permitting their removal by
this method.

Skin Color Measured i'm
Photographs

Six girls were chosen for the test,
their age ranging from II to 27 years
old. Each girl was given a package Of
NADINOLA Cream and told to fol-
low directions found in the package.
Photographs were made at the be-
ginning an- every two weeks after
ward by professional photographer.
Each test covered the use of only one
lar of NADINOLA Cream. At the
end of the test, the color of the skin
or, more exactly, its degree of light
ness as shown in the first and in the

and even so the sponsors wanted
more proof scientific proof of how
we'll Nadinola lightens the skin, helps
clear up blackheads and surface pim-
pies, softens and smoothes the skin
texture. So they authorized me, sew
eral years ago, to start tests under
rigid scientific control, take photo
graphs; in fact, to get the complete
record of results under actual condi-
tions just as the cream is used. This
completed study is now considered
highly significant and, so far as
know, NADINOLA is the only cream
of its kind ever to get scientific proof
of its beautifying value.
Method of Scientific Proof
My research began with. a thor
ough study of medical literature
found in libraries of leading medical
colleges and in scientific journals.
This search provided much authori-
tative opinion in support of the testi-
mony of enthusiastic users as to the
results of NADINOLA'S medicated
ingredients in Tightening the skin and
improving its attractiveness. The
next step was to find method of
running actual tests on a group of
subjects with the right apparatus for
making and keeping accurate records
of the results. First l built studio
for photographing each girl under
fixed control, taking picture before
she began using NADINOLA fol-
lowed by other pictures during and
after the treatment. Then | prepared
a color chart which furnishes a way
to measure the color value of the
skin. This makes it possible to show
positive Tightening of the skin and to
actually measure how much lighter
the skin becomes from using NADI-
NOLA.

a date for the wedding. During the
four years you've been engaged he
must have decided whether or not
he's going to marry.

Dean Olson Says.

The Ely Junior College will take part
in the exploratory studies in the gen.
eral field of terminal education being
sponsored by the American association
of Junior Colleges, Of which it is a
member, according to Dean Sigurd F.
Olson.
Purpose or The study, being financed
by a grant of $4,000 from the general
education board of New York City, is
to obtain information on future course
developments.
Approximately 500 accredited Junior
Colleges are found in the United States,
and another 100 which are not yet
recognized as accredited About I75,OOO
students enrolled in these institutions
do not continue their formal educations
after leaving school
The study will be concerned particu-
larly with courses and curricula Of a
professional and cultural charac-
ter designed to give this increasing
body of poung people greater economic
competence and civic responsibility.
There is increasing evidence that ex-
listing four-year colleges and univer-
sites are not organized adequately TO
meet the needs of a large part OF this
significant group.
1t is anticipated that the explora-
tory study will reveal the need and the
opportunity for a series Of additional
studies and experimental investigations
and demonstrations which may cover
several years of continuous effort.
