John Maragon, who once

White House, is today proud of
his aching back.
The famous 5 per center went
to work Tuesday as q temporary

It is his first job since he left
the Federal Reformatory at

After a day Of piling up heavy

Dulles Alone
For Two Hours
BY GARNETT d. HORNER

An unusual conference between
President Eisenhower and Sec
retary of State Dulles stirred
speculation today about the pos
sibility of some new development
in the foreign policy field.
The President and Mr.. Dulles
talked privately at the White
House late yesterday for two
hours-about twice as long as
their normal meetings on routine
affairs-soon after they both had
returned from two days together
at White Sulphur Springs. w. Va.
Neither the White House nor
Mr.. Dulles would disclose the
nature of the meeting except to
say that it concerned state De-
partment matters"

The train stopped for servic-

an hour out Of White Sulphur

persons gathered around his

Mothers Told BIG
Breakfast Key
to Good Health

NEW YORK, N. Y. Health authorities
are in general agreement that young
sters served hearty, healthy break
fast every day, have far more pep
and energy to keep up their busy
days activities.
Many medical experts deplore the
breakfast habits Of the average
American family in recent years in
which orange juice and coffee In a
great many cases are the extent OF
the all-important morning meal for
most adults and for many young
sters a. well.
They recognize that the time factor
in the typical household morning
schedule is the prime factor limiting
families to eat full, wholesome break
fasts only on weekends. But while
conceding that the tempo Of modern
living has increased substantially,
these authorities nevertheless are
convinced science can develop food
products that take minutes or less to
prepare while retaining all the taste
and nutrition of traditional break
fasts. They point to BATTER UP as
q case in point.
For now, thanks to BATTER UP,
everyone can enjoy Sunday-type
breakfast every morning Of the
week.
BATTER UP is the sensational new
ready-to-pour pancake batter right
from q container. Made by an ex-
elusive formula known as "Leven-
troll" the process guarantees perfect
pancakes everytime. All you do is
pour the batter onto the griddle, and
quick as a sizzle - golden brown, de-
lectable pancakes ready to eat.
There's absolutely nothing to mix -.
make or add. It's all right in the
container. Nothing could be easier,
more delicious or take less time. And
for nutrition, BATTER UP just
can't be beat. It sends your young
sters of to school (and Dad off to
his job) with MORE energy and
that "top-of the morning" feeling
that is 90 essential to better days
work.
