HONEST CROOKS

LOS ES-Pickpockets with a conscience are giving Los An- geles postmen their newsstand biggest-headaches these days.
 According to Acting Postmaster Michael D. Tanning, the honest thieves now remove the money from the victims billfolds and drop them into mail boxes. Mailmen have to deliver them, and as a re- suit their owners are able to re- cover Social Security cards, li- censes and other papers.
 Money rarely finds it's way back, however.

Poor Digestion? G1 T1 !
 Headachy? DO Sour or Upset? % Tired-ListIess? O0

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 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 30 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 Na- ture's own order. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore, Only 25f,
