: Soys Stanley E. Warren

In series of dramatic tests scientists
proved that in 500 "a out of s. of
the cases, Bantron helped men and
women to stop smoking in days.
And here is the wonderful thing.
Bantron is easy and pleasant to take.
1t has no unpleasant after effects and
is not habit forming.
Bantron was discovered in the re-
search laboratories of a great
American university. 1t comes in
tablet form. You just take l tablet
with water after each meal.
This new scientific formula does not
work by making you dislike smok-
ing. 1t does not interfere with your
taste for smoking, or for anything
else. Smoking establishes craving
in your Bantron helps relieve
that craving. Because of this, many
people use Bantron to help them cut
down smoking.
We Guarantee Results
Purchase one box of Bantron and
take as directed. If you feel Bantron
has not helped you stop or cut down
smoking within days, just send us
the empty box and we will refund
your full purchase price.
Bantron is recommended to the
thousands of men and women who
can benefit from stopping or cutting
down smoking. If your doctor
advises you to stop smoking, try
Bantron.

movement can be a factor and
q cable release is provided to

Popular cameras will focus

Guilty. But, in keeping with
its size, the Signal Corps cam
era has a minimum focus Of
500 yards but amazingly. its
last setting before infinity is
10000 yards-about II " miles!
But, of course. it will be re-
membered that the purpose of

cause of the size and weight
Of the lens the film plane is

film size is comparatively
small-5x7 inches. Cut film
or plates may be used or q roll
film adapter is provided to
permit the use of a three

A feature that may eventu-
ally find its way into popular
use is a built-in blade or knife
which allows the operator to
slice off as many exposed shots
from the roll as he wishes
without removing the entire
roll from the camera. When
one or more exposed films
have been removed from the
roll in this way, the unused
portion of the film may then
be fed onto another take-up
spool so that the picture TAX
ing can be resumed with a
minimum loss of time.
Another safety feature is
embodied in the focal plane
shutter curtain that remains
in front of the film at all
times except during the actual
length of exposure. This, plus
interchangeable light tight
film cartridges. makes it pos
sible to remove the back of the
camera without endangering

significance In future military

when weather or other condi-

The idea Of a camera capa-

over great distances is not
new. During World War II
allied forces captured a Ger
man camera with a lens whose
focal length was 100 inches
used to take pictures Of the

channel. However, the Signal
Corps instrument is more
compact and the lens four
times faster than its German
counterpart.
In appearance the camera
is not unlike a small artillery
piece. because of the long lens.
which. incidentally, weighs 40
pounds. There are two models
of the camera. In one. with
overall length of about Z

measures IL by IL by Z inches.

it is true that the Monroe

they do not believe that these
facts could be held accountable
for the off-centering since
