If you want quick, effective relief from discomfort of acid indigestion after eating, try Bicydol. I believe you'll agree with thousands that results are wonderful. Relief usually comes within a short time. You'll like Bicydol's cool, minty flavor too.

Remember, it's been recommended by many doctors, so be careful to avoid substitutes. Yet the genuine spelled V-I-S-O-D-O-L, in powder or tablet form for only 25 cents at your drugstore. And now, Mr. Keene, tracer of lost persons and the case of the missing doll.

Mr. Keene established the fact that the doll which the police had fished out of the river was the doll which ten-year-old Kathy Barnes had lost. But the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Kathy's own mother is no nearer solution.

The woman, after leaving her child, threatened suicide. But the child, of course, knows nothing about this. And now, we find Mr. Keene in his office. Mike Clancy, his assistant, and Miss Ellis, his secretary, are with him.

And it's Alice is looking at a newspaper. Well, Miss Alice, what do you think of the picture? Oh, it's one of the most pathetic pictures I've ever seen in the newspaper, Mr. King. A beautiful child hugging her doll.

You know, she seems to be looking right at you. You want to put your arms around her and give her all the affection you can. That's how it makes you feel. And it's a very good picture of Kathy.

Don't you think so, Mike? Indeed it is, boss. And you didn't have the least trouble getting it published, either. Miss Ellis, it would have done your hard good to have seen the way the boss called up that editor.
