If taking vitamins doesn't seem to be
doing you as much good as you
hoped-this may be the reason!
Authorities now know Vitamins do
not work alone! They work as a team
with certain other food elements.
Therefore scientists, doctors, nutri-
tionists are urging Take your vita
minis IN food-for best results"
For this reason, thousands now are
switching to Ovaltine. Unlike mere
''vitamin carrier" con-
tains not only extra vitamins, but
nearly all the precious food elements
necessary for peak vitality. Especially
those food elements needed for vita
min teamwork.
For example, Vitamin D, Calcium

rv This Delicious WAY
For Better Results!
Authorities agree vitomins do you more good in
combination with certain other food elements

and Phosphorus must work together
and you get them all in a glass of
Ovaltine made with milk. Vitamin
A and Protein act together in cell
building-and they're both in Oval
tine. Vitamin B, and fuel-food are
both necessary for sparkling vitality
and they're combined in Ovaltlne.
Another advantage-the elements
in Ovaltine do not vary. They are
accurately measured in every ounce.
That is why it is an ideal supplement
to ordinary foods which lose vitamin-
values, sometimes sharply, in cooking.
So turn to Ovaltine, as thousands
are doing, for better, more delicious
way to get the extra amounts of vita
minis and minerals you need.

Nebraska Enters
Wet, Dry Fight

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 4. CUP)-
The possibility of a new prohibition
era IS apparent in Nebraska.
Wet and dry proponents are en-
gagec in AN increasingly ardent
Wooing of the states conservative
voting populace which, next Nov
7, will speak the deciding word on
the proposed law:
EspouSing the cause for dry
state are the Allied Dry Forces of
Nebraska. Under the leadership of
Harold d. Wilson, government en-
forcement agent curing the last
prohibition period, the dry forces
amassed 50,383 signatures to an in
itiative petition, which automatical-
ly assured the proposition a place
on the state general election ballot
next fall. A simple majority vote
will reinState prohibition in Neb-
raSka'S statutes.
The Nebraska Committee Brew
ing Industry Foundation originally
stood as the only vocal opposition.
The committee, formed and fin
ancec by brewers as a self-policing
group, protested the proposed law
provided no penalties for violation,
and would leave the state easy prey
for bootlegging and other lawless
activities. Committee members also
disputed the dries contention that
the solCier vote would protect ser
vicemen from legislation opposed
by majority of them.

sure its operation during the COM
ing II months, officials of the COM
pany announced yesterday.
Because Of the peace-tirne value
of the vessels being built here,
there is little or no likelihood OF
any cancellation of contracts, il
was said.
Even in the event of an early
European peace, there would not
be letup in present product on

The statement that the yard

recent announcement by Ralph A.
Bard, Undersecretary of the Navy,
that the Nays production pro-
gram is still increasing. The AKA
type combat cargo vessels W
being delivered have a most
important place in the Navy's
plans for prosecution of the war
against Japan. Every effort, it
was explained, is being made to

Undersecretary Bard appealed
to all workers in the Nays ship
yards and shore establishments
and private plants and shipyards
engaged on naval work, such as
the Wilmington one, to ''stay on
the job during the coming twelve
months. He called for work and
more work. as he pointed out that
the last six months of 1914 will
show an increase in production of
approximately 10 per cent over the

the program for the first six
