year. valued at approximately
S25.00 per pint. a total of $12,-

the American Red Cross is ask

If you have given during the
drive, won't you please do so again
on May Third, "Red Cross Rally

faction of knowing that you not

AS you probably know, the Lin

to date only $2.600.00 has been

C OF C DECISION

C OF C DECISION
The Chamber, as a leading
force in the town and cOunty's
civic affairs and development,
decided at its recent board meet
ing that Lincoln county cannot
afford to lose its Red Cross
chapter. The town and county's
pride and good honor were in
volved in this crucial matter,
and not overlooking the fact the
Red Cross chapter here must at
all costs be preserved for Lin
coin County to continue its hu-
name, friendly services that are
so vital a part of community
life.
Hence, the decision of the
Chamber to take a hand in the
crisis and spearhead Red Cross
Rally Day in a civic effort to save
the Red Cross program for Lin
coin. But, the Chamber of Com
merce will not assume financial
responsibility in the rally. It's role
will be co-ordinator. C h m b /
funds cannot be diverted to this
purpose. The Chambers role will

A LEADING New York Physician has
developed q way to turn an ordinary
tub Of hot water into Mineral Bath.
Imagine what this means to those who
suffer the nagging pains and aches that
Gre so often associated with Arthritis

Many who have tried this doctors dis

their physicians-may soon be saved this

triumph in medical chemistry, they may
find that they can enjoy the often re-
markable benefits Of true mineral bath
ing in the snug comfort Of their own
homes.
Here's how Il all came about
A curious doctor was puzzled by the fact
that Medical Science had never been able
to tell Why certain Natural Springs so
often gave quick allevistion Of physical

waters Of these Springs and find out what

that the secret lies in these minerals?
In order to find the answer. he had a
chemist compound them into q water

As this is being written, BATHERAPY
is being made available to hospitals
everywhere-and to the public through
at least one store in each city. Already
thousands are enjoying its benefits. Yet
BATHERAPY does not help everyone.
Unfortunately, there are some people
who are constitutionally unable to re-

Baths. If you, however, are among the
millions who suffer from painful aches
