Millions Stuitch To
Mutton Suet Idea
For Chest Colds
Quickly Relieves chiIdrsn's Colds
Coughs, Loosens phIegm
ADVERTIsEMENT

Many mothers all over America
are switching to this idea of get
ting fast relief for these chest cold
miseries. They are simply follow
ing Grandma. For years she count
ed on mutton suet to help carry her
home medication to do its pain-eas-
ing work on nerve ends in the skin.
No wonder so many more now well
come Grandma's idea as improved
by science-Penetro, with its multi
medicated formula in a base con-
tanning mutton suet--that acts both
as counter-irritant and pain-reliev-
er when you spread it on, and as
a soothing aromatic when breathed
in. And so today Penetro hurries
along newer help in the old reliable
way-help that eases painful mis-
cry, lessons coughing, loosens
phlegm, soothes chest rawness-so
that you can rest more comfortably
and give nature a chance to restore
vitality. That's why millions are
switching 10 Penetro today-why
druggists are recommending Il. Csc,
double supply 35c. For all your fam
ily's chest cold miseries, be sure
you get white, easy-to-use Penetrp.

Paper, Lumber
Shortage Is
Critical

HELENA, Jan. 2l.-The War Pro-
duction Board picture regarding the
field of paper and lumber contin-
ues to be critical.
Makers of wrapping papers and
bags will get, for the first quarter
of 1914, less than half of what they
consumed in the corresponding pc
Rod of 1943 Producers of box-ve-
neer now must figure their quotas
in square feet instead Of board feet
if they make wooden shipping con-
tainers, according to WPB officials.
Essential home-front requirements
and direct military needs will take
ID million cords of pulpwood in
1914, it was estimated by WPB.
That's a million cords more than
last year, most of which is account
ed for by the increase in packing
needs.
Three Federal Agencies War
Production Board, War Food Ad-
ministration and the War Manpow-
er Commission-have joined in a
drive to increase the production of
pulpWood by urging farmers to cut
their own Woodlots and go into the
forest industries in their off-season.
The War Manpower Commission is
actively recruiting Woods workers,
and any interested person can OBJ
tain details as to this employment,
particularly jobs that are current
ly open, from the nearest u. S. En-
ployment Service Office.
