'uNBlOCK" "% DIGESTIVE TRACT

And Stop Dosing Your Stomach
 With Soda and Alkalizers Don't expect to get real relief from headache, sour stomach, gas and bad breath by taking soda and other alkalizers if the true cause of your trouble is constipation.
 In this case, your real trouble is not in the stomach at all. But in the intestinal tract where 80%o of your food is digested. And when the lower part gets blocked food may fail to digest properly.
 What you want for real relief Is some thing to "unblock" your lower intestinal tract. Something to clean it out effectively-help Nature get back on her feet.
 Get Carter's Pills right now. Take them as directed. They gently and effectively "un- block" your digestive tract. This permits all 5 of Natures own digestive juices to mix better with your food.
 You get genuine relief from indigestion 50 you can feel really good again.

Questions and Answers
On Servicemen's
Problems
By DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON - Unless Con.
gress takes action within the next
three months, veterans who are
discharged after next May Is OF
who haven't applied for reinstate-
ment by that time will lose all
their job rights. The Selective
Service Act expires on that date.
But it is believed that regard
less of what Congress does with
the Selective Service Act, it will
pass a new law continuing veter-
ans job rights. Thousands OF
men in service have been worried
about this. And veterans organi-
izations have been urging con-
gressmen to do something about
it. Representative John j. Spark.
man d., Ala.) has introduced a
bill which would make veterans
job rights a permanent part o.
the law. Most members of the
House Military Affairs Committee
support the bill.
If Congress passes the Spark.
man bill, however, and doesn't
renew the Selective Service law,
veterans will still be out on a
limb after May Is. They will
theoretically have job rights, but
there will be no agency to help
them get their jobs. Now it is up
to draft boards to do that. And
these boards have given extreme
ly important help in getting vet
Grams their jobs back and advis-
ing them of their rights.
Many veterans are also worried
that after May Is they can be
fired from jobs in which they have
been legally reinstated. The pres
ent law says they can't be fired
for at least a year. This is moth
ing for them to worry about. Once
they have been restored in their
jobs under the law they have a
legal right to keep them for at
least a year as long as they do
their work. Although the law
might expire May Is, employers
will continue to be bound by the
provision that they continue to
keep returned veterans on the
payroll for the year.
If the draft law isn't extended
and the Sparkman Bill changed 80
that some agency is designated to
help the veteran get his job back,
veterans are likely to be stuck with
lawyers fees to get their job
rights.
