laxatives herbal laxatives? Ans. No,
some are saline, emollient. etc.
Cues. Is Black-Draught herbal? Ans.

al-usually gentle but thorough if

easier to take. BE sure to follow

tlon to be something in life as
long Is I can remember. I was
forced to stop school in the 9th
grade because my mother was too
SICK to work. 7 am 2 IL years be-

to finish my education. I don't
know whether to go back to school
and work after school hours to

Ans: People with less
schooling than you have made
names for themselves. You
can acquire good education
yourself thru studying,
reading and observation. / do
suggest that you keep your

Batista Gets Concessions
Meaning NewLi For Cuba

HAVANA, Cuba. CA N P)--
When President Fulgencio Batista
returned to Cuba last month after
a visit to the United States, the
dynamic, stocky little mixed blood
who rose from sergeant in the
Cuban army to head of this is
land republic, had obtained con.
cessions which meant much for the
life of Cuba during the war.
Batista, Unlike some executives
in the past, is interested, it is
known, in the welfare of Cuba and
its people alone. Neither social nor
personal gain have any place in
his program his intimates say. He
went to the States to find some
way to help his people get an
economic basis on which to live

If and when someone will take
your clock, il may be three
months before you get 1t back.
Having gotten up in the morn

cause of fuel rationing, not every
one in the family can have a
