WHAT'S THE CAUSE

WHAT'S IHE tAOSE
The new wife decided she had
made a mistake and after 2 while
she puts in for divorce from her

that daughter is hardly dry behind

Seek Fresh Air. Sunshine
To Keep Good Looks Helen

Men love gossip. They can Out-talk
women any day Most men will
agree with y0C.
Manage to get as much sunshine
as you can; however, if you value
your face, don't get sunburned.
Sunlight will do lot for one, but
take it in small doses. 1t is a
splendid treatment for blackheads
and pimpleS. 1t dries certain forms
of oily dandruff.

ship Admiral Scheer - one of the

 He sold his civilian clothes. He sold his car.
 He sent his wife and children back East to live with relatives. He sold his home.
 He packed and stored his fusn- iture and personal belongings. He took care of l0l other last minute personal matters. A piece appeared Tn the paper about his pending induction. He wrote to all his friends and told them he was going into the service.
 And then came the day and he reported to the induction center and took his physical. He passed and they took him.
