'It's body was low to the ground, and seeing that it was about five feet long, there was no doubt in my mind that it was apanther."

A Off, THE MOST POPULAR BEER IN HISTORY Inquiries about why enough Budweiser is not yet available have become so numerous that we ask our good friends everywhere in America to remember these Your demand made Budweiter the most popular beer the world has ever known-year alter year after year. Official government (igurei prove it.

Our production today it the greatest in tho history of brewing, Yet, Budweiser's high standard of quality is maintained at all times. The constantly expanded Home Budweiter covering 70 city blooks in St, Louis is the world's largest brewery-as it was when beer returned in 1B33, Each year, beginning in 1933, facilities to increase the production of Budweiser were until the war put an end to expansion in the brewing industry. But, each succeeding year found your increased demand running far ahead of our expanded facilities Thus. Budweiser had to be rationed lo dealers each year for several years before wartime shortages introduced rationing of many products to the country at large In spite of the fact that grain quotas have been largely still is being rationed, because your demand still exceeds the production of our present vast facilities So that you will find Budweiser again wherever you ask for it, our post-war expansion program will get under way just as soon as building skills and materials are available. Meanwhile, each day sees Budweiser arriving in communities everywhere to supply dealers equitably if not abundantly.

When you ask for Budweiser and get it, you are enjoying the quality and the distinctive taste that have made it-sip by sip, drink by drink bottle by bottle barrel by barrel, year in and year out, the most popular beet in history. A A I I Know-how Key to Artifical Limbs Highly Specialized Firm Operates Here In IL scilon on Council 131 i lllllll.Hll ICS By Robert H. O'Brien All the king's horses and all the king's men might have done right by poor Ilumpty Dumpty lad they possessed the "know liow" that is dally routine at the Twin City Artificial Limb com pany, 3204 West Brarlway. Thanks to modern science, person unfortunate enough to lose an arm' or leg can minimize the handicap with an artll'icia substitute'. Head of the Council Bluffs in dustry Is E.

V. Lucas, '15 year olc veteran of world war who is a walking testimonial to the sue cess of the enterprise. He walks with only a slight limp on tw artificial legs one amputated above the knee. lie doesn't ndvisa eveiyone try It as an innovation. "Don't let anyone tell you," he warns, "Hint artificial limbs are as good as the ones nature provides.

Thcy'ie not. But people who need them can learn to get around in pretty fine style, at that." Moke Other Appliances Lucas and his workmen, most of whom are also ambulating mechanically, lake keen pride in the rehabilitation capabilities of the artificial arms and logs. "During the war," Lucas recalled with a bioad smile, wu made an aitificial leg for a bomber test ploll who was badly In a crush, Just 10 weeks later lie wns back on flying slut us, tehtlng more planes, In addition to limbs, the company makes oilhopodic appliances for polio victims, 'But that phase of business is not so popular with Lucas' men. "A biace Is just a brace," one explained' "You cun'l accomplish anything spectacular with it --but of course we have to make them, and are happy lo do it," No Speedy Production Battle injuries- during world outer, the limb Is hollowed to ecreasc the weight, "They can be too llRht, how- ver," Lucas observed, "With- ut muscular control of the knoc ction, too light a leg cnn be lown out from Under you In a trong wind." Every part of the artificial leg matches the action of the good jg. Top action Is provided by a lano felt joint in the foot to give natural springy action, Ankle ctlon is also provided.

There Is double ball bearing joint at the "An abovc-the-knec amputa- Ion," Lucas continued, "Is (ho ardost to mnko--nnd the most difficult to learn to handle. But ots of people have learned to on two completely artificial egs." Bawhide Gives Strength. The technique, ho demon- itrated, is to step forward, allow- ng the mechanical knee to break laturally. The leg tlion swings orwnrd into position by Us own velghl. After the customer has worn he temporary leg for a week or so, It Is returned to the shop for final fitting and finishing, The contour of the leg Is smoothed down, with a layer of rawhide shrunk to the outside.

"It's the hardened rawhide," Lucas pointed out, "that gives most of the strength and hard finish." A good leg, ho sold, will last from three to five years, costs from $200 to $250 for a first class job. The firm also makes artificial arms. Lucus explained I functions of an arm are more complex, and can bu duplicated only with partial success. An amputation above the elbow can be replaced only with purlla success, lie estimated only some 40 per cent of the customers arc successful In mustering the use of a complete artificial An a a i below the elbow can be fitted with several types of appliances.

lie demon.s'.nitcd how each arm is equipped with devices, from a a looking hand with workable fingers to a machined pair of grippers built lo do real work.
