drains energy and sparkle. You may
have a Borderline Anemia, due to a
ferro- nutritional blood deficiency.
Your red blood cells may be too

So, if your vigor and color are low
because of this blood deficiency,
take Ironized Yeast Tablets. They
are specially formulated to help
build up faded red blood cells. Con-

due to other conditions-so consult

SITTING PRETTY"
OPENING TONIGHT
AT 10th CENTURY

Sitting Pretty" said to be an
other smash hit screen comedy,
one of the grandest laugh shows
in years, starring Robert Young,
Maureen OHara and Clifton Webb,
opens 4-day run tonight at the
goth Century theatre.
A comedy that goes beyond hi
larity and into the realms OF
laughter that can come only from
a warm, joyful human experience,
Sitting Pretty" uses as its spring.
BOARD one of today's most timely
and entertaining subjects. the
problem of the baby-sitter with
hilarious complications not familiar
to every young couple. AS such, the
picture provides its three stars with
what is said to be the most unusual
and delightful roles of their ca
reers.
The story of Sitting Pretty" is
that of a reasonably successful
young couple, Harry and Tacey
King, whose recurring difficulties
in finding baby-sitters for their
three obstreperous offspring, finally
inspire them to advertise for a resi-
dent sitter. The result proves more
than they bargained for as the ad
is answered by a sophisticated
gentleman, one Belvedere, who I'M
mediately takes over the entire
household-completely, and with
devastating results.
The new baby-sitter, wondrously
efficient in a startling sort OF way,
is also a man of mystery. 1t is
his stubnornly secret and odd
extra -curricular activities, and the
aplomb with which he insinuates
himself into the family life, that
leads to one of the most hilarious
triangle" situations the screen has
known, and finally throws the en-
tire community of Hummingblrd
Hill into an uproarious tumult.
