Gee, she was lovely. The reason I loved her so dearly was because she would go for rides in the rain with me. And if there's anything more beautiful than lights that shimmer in the rain, please wire at once what it is! Anyhow, business of riding around In the rain is fun. Tho wholo landscape is changed. The familiar barns and houses all recede into obscurity, and the mountains look like great wet dogs.

I recommend it highly to all my readers (all 3 of you)). But one tiling if you're a rain-rider- around-in watch windshield and don't let it get covered with a film of guk that makes the water form little beads on the glass and keep you from seeing what's in front. The best way to have a really clean windshield is to stop at Union Service stations for Minute Man Windshield Service. That's the only way I know of to keep the old glass really clean. For Union Minute Men have a special paper towel treated with some secret stuff that leaves no fuzz or lint or dirt on the glon.

Also they use Union Windshield Cleaner which contains Ortho- solvute (another secret! that's the htjuid that keeps the drops from forming. It is very helpful, and a lot safer. Keep it in mind, on account of this is a free service whether you buy gas or not. And I've just ipoceenough left to tell you what became of that gal I in love with. She's Mrs.

(Coat of Arms) DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH School Dental Clinic. Taranaki, New Zealand November 12. 1940. The Medical Officer of Health, Kern County Health Department, California. I was most interested in reading a number of dental health leaflets and posters issued by your department, and owned by a New Zealand dentist.

Several of these I copied for use in my clinic, and find them most effective for training children in oral prophylaxis as well as in diet, for I consider that a great deal can be done in this way. I should, indeed, be grateful if you could forward me any spare copies of this material. Thanking you, Yours faithfully. N. V.

ROGERS REPRODUCTION i ISA DURING COLD EPIDEMICS Beware a SlOPPED-UP NOSE In these epidemic times it is necessary to do everything you can for protection against ill health. One vital safeguard is to keep your nostrils open so that you can always breathe through them. Do you know why? Nature has lined your nose with countless tiny hairs which filter out germs and other impurities from the air you breathe. The nose also has intricate passageways that warm the air. keeping it from entering the lungs too cold.

Only by breathing through your nose both awake and asleep can you enjoy this protection. If your nostrils are stopped up now due to a cold, take steps to open them at once. Insert Mentholatum in each nostril. Mentholatum will help clear up the local congestion, reduce the swelling and soothe the irritated membranes. Then you can breathe normally through your nose, as nature intended.

So keep Mentholatum handy, and as soon as your nostrils begin feeling stuffy, apply this soothing ointment.
