Having read and absorbed the

that a man nourished on pyra-

feed on aspirin and bicarbonate.
We have, however, come across

far more intriguing possibilities Tor

The hucksters who apply their
art to emptying the Nations brew
cries and filling the Nations
paunches undoubtedly know what
they are doing, all right. They have
the breweries working night and
day to fill the needs of those
wheedled by their diverse sales mes
sages. One sells the stuff by its
purity-body-f1 Another one tells
YOU of his ale's rich, creamy good
ness. Still another brews his beer
leisurely, in limited quantities, to
bless the throats of connoisseurs
like you. Mr.. Schlitz's brew made
Milwaukee famous. Somebody else
sells beer by whispering about the
kiss of the hops. Man named Eddie
Gallaher used to sell one that was
better with your shoes off.
Then there is that brewery IN

product with the vicarious thrill OF
helping support a glamorous New
York model.
There is vast field all of
these beer advertisers have missed,
though. 1t was opened up to us the
other night while we were sitting
talking to Dona Mason, the King
Cole Rooms popular singer. A
waiter passed with laden tray and

be considered as indicating a trend
and If we're all lucky it will be all
we have to say about hair-dos for
several months at least.

though. She wasn't going to trust
modern science. She wasn't going
to set foot inside the Madrillon until
the hairdresser promised to be there,
too, for any minor repairs that
might be necessary. She was the
only camera girl in town with
private hairdresser in attendance
that night.

uanian displaced persons. In this
work of brotherly love, the Fund
has had great support from the
good-hearted American public. r
Unfortunately, with the passage
'of time, the misery of the displaced
persons tends to grow instead of
diminish, and even as their suf-
fering increases, SO must we, out
of human charity, increase out eff
forts to aid them.
One of the most recent blows
dealt them by hard fate was the
reduction of their rations, which
had appeared to be the very mini
mum even before. After years of
life in exile, their resistance to dis
ease has naturally become lowered
and now their rations are again de-
creased! This means greater hard
ship for the average adult, but to
children, students, the old and the
sick, it is positive catastrophe.
Being anxious to come to the aid
of these unhappy people as speedi-
ly as possible, the Executive Com
mittee of the United Lithuanian Re-
lief Fund of America has decided
to start a drive for the collection
of the foods most needed by the
displaced persons. These are: fats
(lard and margarine), sugar, con-
densed milk, meat, rice, flour, CO.
Goa, tea and coffee. The drive be-
gins July 1st and will continue for
two months.
The United Lithuanian Relief Fund
of America appeals to all people of
good will to join in this labor of
love. We beg you to begin today.
When you do your family shop
ping please buy an additional tin
of lard or margarine, of condensed
milk or meat, a package of sugar,

hardly notice the addition to your
bill, but each item will mean so
very much to some fellow being,
some displaced widow or child, some
elderly or sick person. Ask your
neighbors to do likewise and in no
time, you will have gathered food

of these desolate people.
