Obesity A Concern
Of Majority In U. S.
Says Local Druggist

Sixty per cent of the people in
the United States are interested in
reducing, either for health or rea-
sons of appearance"
This is 2 statement of Mr.. Ed
mund Jackson. proprietor of
Bryan's Rexall Store, Milford. to-
day in announcing the new Ann
Delafield Appetite Reducing Plan,
for which he is the exclusive agent
i'm Milford.
Miss DelafieId has helped re-
duce more people than any other
person in the United States" said
Mr.. Jackson, $50 she is eminently
Qualified to advise anyone on the
problems of overweight and the
beauty problems attendant to it,"
The well-knOwn Rexall Druggist
said the originator of this reducing
plan was bringing Fifth Avenue
Salon treatments into the home for
the first time in reducing-treat-
ment history. Jackson added that
Miss Delafield has a startling list
OF achievements to her credit,
since she was the originator of
charm schools in America. winner
Of the Fashion Academy Award as
one of the ten best dressed bust
ness women i'm the United States
ION three different occasions and
has years of experience in famous
sanitariums, working with the
foremost doctors in the country,
specializing in health and body
conditioning.
MANY of the women of Milford
Iare probably already familiar with
Miss Delafield through her many
IartiCles in the leading journals of
the country" said Mr.. Jackson.
Despite her regular schedule as
teacher, beautician, lecturer and
cOnsultant, she still maintains a
tremendous pace at her admitted
age of seventy-twO years. With her
vivacity, which can be envied by
women many years her junior, her
charm and personality are the best
testimonials to the Ann Delafield
Reducing Plan"
This new weight control problem
has now been introduced to the ma
tion at large. Rexall Drug Com
pany, with which Mr.. Jackson is
affiliated as an Independent drug
gest, and the 10000 drug stores as
sOciated with it, are the exclusive
distributors for this new beauty

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby

A pronouncing peccadillo which is
a particular pet peeve of mine is
the habit some people have of pro-
nouncing 'l'' and "double-r' as "y"
in certain words, such as "Li-yun"
for Lillian, ''Wi-yum" for William,
'mee-yun" for million, etc.
In the flow of conversation this
is a blinking stoplight for me, as
it must be for "mee-yuns" Of other
people.
In making the 81" sound, the
tongue tip must press momen-
tarily against the upper dental
ridge. Otherwise "Li-yun" for
Lillian, and so on.
1t is a habit which Is irritating in
the extreme to the listener; and my
advice to those who may have this
quirk in their vocabularies is to take
steps to avoid it, If for no other
reason than the friends it may cost
them.
Another curious speech fault Is
that OF pronouncing q" like "w''-
"wook" for look, wong" for long,
wet" for let.
This, too, is caused by the failure
Of the tongue tip to press against
the upper ridge.
A famous orator thumps his
chest and trumpets: How wong are
we going to wet this 60 on?"
Answer: A wong time If we woose
sight Of our wine Of duty.

Swimming Pool Of Plastic Sheetinq Is DEVELOPED
By D. IA. Derwin

A new type swimming pool is
being made Of 20-gauge plastic
Isheeting.
This 13x27 foot pool has a
graduated depth of from three
to five feet and consists Of a liner
that fits tightly into an excava-
ltion below ground level. The pool
is anchored into the excavation by
driving two-by-four inch pieces of
wood into the ground as corner
supports. For sandy or loanly soil.
lit is recommended that the sides
lof the excavation be reinforced
with lumber such as roofing boards,
sheathing or plywood.
The water capacity Of this pool
lis more than 10000 gallons and
the pool can accommodate at
least is persons without being
crowded. Drainage is accomplished
either by a built-in drain. with q
pipe outlet. or with a sump pump.
Instructions on installations.
The pool is produced in two
types, for use with either method
of drainage. The manufacturer
furnishes with each pool book
let of instructions. including
sketches and diagrams to aid in
excavation and installation.
The tough plastic sheeting Is
resistant to salt water, sand and
abrasiveS and temperature
changes and is unaffected by
chemicals used in water purifica-
ton. The pool is cleaned with
soap and water and a brush.
Optional equipment includes an
inflatable bumper, which pre-
vents excessive water from
splashing beyond the swimming
pool area, and an 8-gauge pool
cover of vinylite plastic. This
latter is designed to keep pets,
leaves and debris out Of the pool
when not in use. and also acts as
a safety factor for small children.
The cover is easily removed
from the pool and is kept in place
by lengths Of small-gauge pipe
slipped into electronically welded
side seams. In addition to this
standard 13 by 81 foot pool, the
manufacturer also produces other
pools to meet smaller or larger
requirements.
Weight Of the 13-by-27- foot
liner is only about 100 pounds;
the bumper weighs about SO
pounds, and the cover weight is
approximately Is pounds.
