Mr.. Truman, appointed chairman

But it was learned that Mr.. Tru-
man, without making any direct de

With that accomplished, the foun-

A brief official communique issued

Sour or Upset? 90
Iired-listIess? 90

Do you feel headachy and upset due to
poorly digested food? To feel cheerful
and happy again your food must be
digested properly.
Each day. Nature must produce about
two pints of a vital digestive juice to
help digest your food. If Nature fails.
your food may remain undigested-
leaving you headachy and irritable.
Therefore, you must increase the flow
of this digestive juice. Carter's Little
Liver Pills increase this flow quickly
often in as little as 80 minutes And,
you're on the road to feeling better.
Don't depend on artificial aids to
counteract indigestion-when Carter's
Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma
ture's own order. Take Carter's Little
Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any
drugstore. Only 25t.
