Dear P. D.:

Dear P. D.:
Not long ago, right after Su-
preme Court decision, newspapers
reported a senator as saying that
the Supreme Court had taken God
out of the claSSrooms and had put
the Negroes in. 1t seemed that he
was trying to imply that the court
had removed something Cody
from the classrooms and had at the
same time done something un-
Cody by putting the Negroes in.
However, I don't know exactly
what was meant.
1t appears that there should be
considerable research on the prob

Moore in Alabama and Medgar

Steam And Salt
Helps Draw The
Tiredness Out

If you have had an unusually
exhausting day and feel that
you're about to drop in your tracks,
take a steam and salt glow, with
scrub, massage and light.
The steam and massage relieve
stiff aching muscles. The salt helps
draw the tiredness out of you and
makes the skin soft and beautiful.
A bath is all around, one Of your
biggest and best beauty bets; few
other things you do for beauty
care do so many things for you at
one and the same time.
If properly undertaken the same
bath will not only give you that
scrubbed look" but will stimulate
your circulation, improve the tex
ture Of your skin, message your
muscles, rid you Of that tense, tired
feeling and really pep you up.
Fortunately, what works for
health, works for beauty. What
works" Is an inside-outside pro-
gram of body care that goes on
