ject was introduced to the General
Committee, they proved only too
eager to assist us, giving US many
encouraging assurances as to steps
that could and would be taken to
avoid the continuance of the COM

However. the problem is not yet
solved. and the Deferment Commit
tee of our union solicits any infor-
nation suggestions or instructions
that might aid them in getting uni
forms for these "draft-dogers," as
well as to give them an opportunity
to apply their mental genius di-
rectly to the war effort through
their careers as American soldiers.

10 you have poor digestion?
Do you feel headachy after eating?
Do you get sour or upset easily?
Do you feel tired-IistIess?

Now everyone knows that to get the good
out of the food you eat-you must digest
it properly. But what most people don't
know is that Nature must produce about
two pnts of the digestive juice-liver
bile-each day to help digest your food.
If Nature fails-your food may remain
undigestod sour and heavy in your
digestive tract.
Thus, it is simple to see that one way
, to aid digestion is to increase the flow of
liver bile. Now. Carter's Little Liver
Pills start to increase this flow quickly
for thousands-often in as little as thirty
minutes. When bile flow increases, your
digestion may improve. And, soon you're
on the road to feeling better-which is
what you're after.
Don't depend on nartifcal aids to coun-
tcract indigestion-whcn Carter's aid
digestion after Nature own order, when
taken as directed. Get Carter's Little
Liver Pills today-at any drugstore
only 25e. You will be glad you did.
