AppIicator-type tampons were made in three alb
sorbencies. DIR. Donovan's discovery simplied this
problem with one siZe-no larger than lpstick-
yet proved $3.50 more absorbent than regular appli-
cator-type tampons.
Tests with doctors, hospitals, women of all ages
brought response that exceeded the doctors fondest
hopes. Just recently, study was made at a leading
Chicago university the absoTbency of this tiny
tampon against that of other leading ones now on
the market. And the findings were most revealing.
Doctors found this tiny tampon to be definitely more
absorbent than the super sizes of other ampons
The Campana Company was chosen to mar

Housekeeping Seal of Guaranty. wherever this Seal
appears, il means that replacement or refund of

We've found them to be more absorbent than any

And so il is that as the news spreads, more and
more of todays women-both married and single
enjoy a far better method of coping with monthly
sanitary protection. This invention has convinced
many mother that daughter sometimes knows best.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-12

Back in the days of the first chemise, daughter
might have worn her hair clipped close and her skirts
above her knees-even if her mother frowned on her
modern ways.
But when it came to the question of coping with
that intimate, age-old problem of monthly sanitary
protection most times daughter didn't dare to be
different.
What mother advised, daughter accepted. Perhaps
because there was so little choice in this particular
field of feminine hygiene.
But how different is the situation today Now
more and more daughters are finding that they can
show mother better solution to the problem OF Sanl
tary protection than the older generation ever had
solution made possible by a Boston doctor who saw
the need for simpler method OF sanitary protecuon
-one that would be perfectly comfortable.
And herein lies the story of the invention OF tIny
new, more absorbent tampon that needs no bulky
applicator.
Pondering the problem of sanitary protection some
wears ago. the late Arthur B. Donovan, prominent
Boston doctor and obsetrcian decided that the hrst
step toward the development of a new and better
method was to examine the kinds of sanitary pro-
lection then available.
The most commonly used form of protection, at
the time was disposabe sanitary napkins These were
introduced Just after World War l and, of course,
we're an improvement over the homemade pads that
women had used for generations.
More advanced than this method, however, was
that of internal sanitary protection ApPlicatortyPe
tampons introduced about decade after disposable
napkins) did away with such pad problems as ouliu-
ness, twisting, binding we'll as chaflng and odor
This, DR.. Donovan decided, was the method ne
ought to pursue in his effort to develop still better
kind of sanitary protection Like great many phys-

clans, DIR. Donovan had, for years, employed tam
ponage" in his practice. This medical principle OF
internal absorption, he knew, was sound.
Internal absorption not only eliminated odor and
chafng il was completely invisible. What's more. it
had already proved to be cleaner kind of sanitary
protection What was left for Dr. Donovan to do was
to design an ideal tampon One that would be small,
comfortable, easy to use one that would assure
women of napkin absorbency, yet would need no
applicator But this the doctor knew not as SIM
pie as it sounded
While other tampons were encased in cardboard
applicatos in an effort to solve this problem of inser
ton, DR.. Donovan was determined to find better
answer. One that would eliminate the bulky apPl-
Gator entirely.
One day, while analyzing the problem for the mill
lionth time simple logic suddenly gave him the an

out blunt end Why not taper the tip for comfort

This he did. And then DR.. Donovan made another
discovery unique scientific development enabled
him to coat the tip of the tampon with newly dis
covered materaI-an absolutely safe clear substance
that acted as preubrcant and gave added assurance
of gentle medically correct insertion. This coating
dissolved harmIeSSly and eliminated the need for a
bulky applicator. At last, Dr. Donovan had found
the answer
Dr. Donovan achieved a dainty, compact
tampon, by designing it to be compressed to one
sixth the size of its original absorpve material Upon
contact with moisture, it gradually expanded side
ways, adapting its shape to the individual In this
way, the rate of absorbency was governed by each

ON WINTER
CARE

During the winter months your
tractor needs more careful at
tention than during the summer
and for the reason that you don't
use it is much.
For one thing, the crankcase oil
needs changing more often in win
ter. In winter the oil in the
crankcase is more likely to have
water mixed with it as a result of
condensation and this can cause
an acid condition that is tough on
moving engine parts. In summer
your tractor engine gets warmed
up often enough to evaporate
much of this water. So, it pays to
follow the manufacturers direc-
tons on oil changes and grade of
oil for winter use.
Check the cooling system, too,
to be sure the thermostats allow
the engine to get up to operating
temperature before they open. A
radiator shutter also helps ntil
the engine reaches its operating
temperature.
Keeping the fuel tank well filled
in winter helps to decrease con-
densation that puts water in the
gas with chances of a frozen fuel
line.
Lastly; is the battery in your
tractor in shape for winter use?
A fully charged battery won't
freeze and it will also have more
power for cranking the engine.
Severe cold reduces the power of
a battery SO it pays to keep the
battery well charged.

Bill Ainsley. M/Sgt.,
Army Recruiter

Mexico was in turmoil in 1916
and when supporters of Dictator
Huerta arrested U. S. sailors in
the Port Of Tampico, Admiral
Mayo Commanding the u. S. Fleet,
demanded more than an express
sion of regret from Huerta. The
Dictator refused and the Port of
Vera Cruz was occupied after a
bombardment that cost many
lives.
War with Mexico seemed newt
able, but was avoided when
Huerta resigned and Carranza be-
came president. He had hardly
taken office when his former ally,
"Pancho" Villa started another
revolution in which he won con-
troll of most of Northern Mexico.
When the U. S. recognized the
Carranza Government, Villa show
ed resentment and created border
incidents, the chief one a surprise
attack on Columbia, N. M. A
number Of U. S. Troops and
civilians were killed and property
destroyed before units of the 18th
Cavalry drove out the invaders.
President Wilson ordered Brig.
Gen. John j. Pershing into Mexico
to assist that government in TAX
ing Villa, punitive expeditions
entered Mexico. They never
reached Villa but did succeed in
dispensing most of his followers.
Clashes with Mexican troops oc-
CURED and General Pershing's
task through the whole campaign
was awkward. The U. S. War De-
who e not followers of Villa,
partment forbade attacks on those
but other clashes with Mexican
troops did occur and war would
probably have broken out then but
for the bitter struggle going on in
Europe, which we were looking on
as spectators.
Few have ever regarded Villa as
a benefactor. But his actions had
given President Wilson the excuse
of training a larger regular Army
and about 10000 National
Guardsmen on the Mexican Dor
der. Had it not been for this
hardening, discipline and school,
ing, the American Forces that
turned the tide in France in
March 1918, would probably not
have existed.

GULL BARREN COWS NOW
For some cattlemen this might

Severe weather early in the sea-

By spotting the barren cows you
