Have you seen the Profit-Shnrinn Pre (Continued from Page 1) with the public through the three members at large. "There is a definite need in a temporary emergency relief organization for persons familiar with problems, state finance, financing conditions of municipalities and unemployment. These are represertcd by the; commissioners and the state auditor suggested above as members of the council," Colt" asserted. Colt declared this set-up i3 in line with the trend in other stale rrlief administrations who have appointed commissions or councils, to secure a board "which is acquainted with relief needs and methods, knows or can readily ascertain local financial resources and has adequate powers to administer state -aid to supervise local relief administration or do both." 7 The State Director called relief "one of the major jobs in this gtate." He itraised county directors rfor their done, in many cases as "a really considerable financial sacrifice." Civil Works Administration, he declared, has increased the burden on these directors "a' hundred fold" so that is "unfair" to expect them to continue for a further indefinite period of time. Colt recommended the plan be developed at once so the Legislature "can have time to thoroughly consider the matter" before Jan.

Thousands of weak, discouraged, women suffer from weakened nerve- force (Doctors call in Neurasthenia) and fall to realize it. They sleep, poorly; are tortured with throbbing headaches; and often suffer pain in the small of the back and along the spine.

Irritable, easily depressed, constantly worried, filled with vague fears and anxieties, unable to concentrate on either work or pleasure they lead truly pitiful lives.
