The makers of Alka Selzer, bring you love and Abner. Here's the timely suggestion which love and Abner have asked me to make to all you mothers and dads who have sons in

the service. Now you want that son of yours to have as many of the conveniences of home as he can or he's in the service don't you? Well in the next time you send him a box of good things to eat and smokes, be sure to tuck in a package or two of Alka Selzer tablets.

If you just do this, then you'll have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that he's ready for quick relief, for headaches, for acid indigestion, for aching muscles, and other similar common ailments, just as he would be if he were at home.

You'll somehow really appreciate your thoughtfulness, because even if the camp authorities are taking every precaution to make sure he's well cared for, there are bound to be times when he'll need the quick relief that Alka-Seltzer offers, and he can just walk out to the nearest drug store to get a package as you can.

So remember, the next time you send your son, your nephew or your grandson in service, a box of good things, be sure to put in an ample supply of Alka-Seltzer tablets. I'll bet he'll write by return mail to thank you for your thoughtfulness.

And now, let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. Well, Lum and Abner and Cedric. Now owned the professor Hinkledorf property, having purchased it at a delinquent tax sale for the poor person with $24.

They plan to use the building on the farm to house their ever-increasing stock of rabbits and hope to go on a foul foul for them on the place to feed them. As we're looking on the little community today, we find the threesome over at their newly acquired property inspecting it for the first time.
