no you have poor digestion! /
Do you feel ad,ehy after eating!
Do you &c! sour or upset easily?
Do you feel tired-IistIess?

Now everyone knows that to get the good
out Of the food you eat-you raust digest
it properly. But what most people don't
know is that Nature must produce about
two pints Of the digestive juice--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
for thousands--often in as little as thirty
minutes. When bile flow increases, your,
digestion may yimprove. And, soon you're
on the road 10 feeling better-which is
what you're after. ,--;f -.
Don't depend on artificial aids tocoun-
teract indigestion--w when Carterls aid
digestion after Natures own order, when
taken as directed. Get Carter's Little
Liver Pills today-at any drugstore-

keep the system going now more
! than ever Our job is to produce
food for the war. 1t is up to us to
protect this system. We all under
stand what lots of these district
employees are going through since
this strike threat came. We don't
need TO guard the system from our
own valley residents. It's the out
siders. as usual. who are causing
the trouble. BY the way, Evan
Bennett said to Hewes, have you
ever had any word from the district
power employees about this strike?"
COME FROM DOWNS
mo l haven't" Hewes said News
of the strike came to the board by
c. D, Downs. a union business
manager from Riverside and man
named Rohrer who, I believe, lives
in san Francisco. The board never
has has any official written notice
of the strike anyway. 1t came
verbally" ...
What I would like to know" said
Matt Labrucherie, lis whether the
zanjeros will walk out when the
power employees do?"
The board does not know"
Hewes said.
Farmers volunteered to guard
vital installations "a hours a day
and protect the loyal workmen who
keep the services going.
Sheriff Robert w. Ware spoke at
the meeting and told the farmers
that his interest in the matter was
to see that there was no deStruc-
ton of life and property.
PICKETING LEGAL
"Picketing is legal" he told the
farmers. The unions always have
been cooperative when I told them
we could not have too many pickets
and would not tolerate crowds to
congregate. We have all learned
from experience that trouble al
ways starts when crowds assemble.
We want law and order maintain
ed. There must be no trouble. If
crowds assemble I will instruct my
deputies to disperse them and ar
rest those who resist the order
will put deputies on duty at the
various installations. ! understand
that the farmers plan to place men
there also to see that the service
goes on"

WASHINGTON, Nov. II up
S lective service officials said to-

to the compromise bill which would
place fathers at the bottom of the
national draft pool was that it
would have little effect on present

They were reIu,'ant 20 discuss
the section of the bill agreed to by
