With the exception of the New
hall blaze which charred some 5000
acres and destroyed one home, the
rest of the fires still were not un-

Firemcn said, however, that the
gale-like winds which had propelled
the 100-foot flames through thou
sands Of acres of brush and forest
lands and across highways and fire
trails, had died down at dawn, civ

in San Diego county and civil au-
thcrities were searching for possible

no you have poor digestion? {
Do you feel headachy after eating? {
Do you get sour or upset easily? T
Do you feel tired-listless? r

Nov 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 pints of the digestive juico-liver
bile-each day to help digest your food.
II Nature fails-your food may remain
undigested-lie 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
Tor 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.

teract indigestion-when Carter's aid
