What To Do
For That Sluggish,
Down-and-Out
Feeling
Remember tbe time when you could eat
- like a horse, bubbled-over with energy,
felt happy as a lark? Was It not becausa
you liked to eat—didn't know what In
digestion was, felt strong as an ox? As
age advances the "old stomach and the
ever-changing blood" need help. Now
you may again release vibrant energy
to every muscle, fibre, cell.
Every day—every hour—millions of
tiny red-blood-cells must pour forth
from the marrow of your bones to re
place those that are worn-out. A low
blood count may affect you In several
ways: no appetite, underweight, no
energy, a run-down condition, lack of
resistance to Infection and disease.
To get real relief you must keep up
your blood strength. Medical authorities,
by analysis of the blood, have by posi
tive proof shown that SSS Tonic Is
amazingly effective in building up low
blood strength in non-organic nutri
tional anemia. This Is due to the ESS
Tonic formula which contains special
and potent activating ingredients.
Also, SSS Tonic helps you enjoy the
food you eat by increasing the gastric
digestive Juice when it Is non-organl
cally too little or scanty- -thus the stom
ach will have little cause to get balky
with gas, bloat and give off that sour
food taste.
Don't wait! Energize your body with
rich, red-blood. Start on SSS Tonic now.
As vigorous blood surges throughout
jour whole body, greater freshness and
strength should make you eat better,
Bleep better, feel better, work better,
play better, have a healthy color glow in
your skin—firm flesh fill out hollow
places. Millions of bottleE sold. Get a
bottle from your drug store SSS Tonic
helps Build Sturdy Health.

Swim Star
Was Once
Poor Girl
L
BY RALPH DIGHTON
HOLLYWOD. April 26.— (JPi — ;
Esther Williams and Ben Gage
haven’t much room for entertain
ing in their little $10,000 cottage.
But that’s all right—they don't en
tertain very many people anyway.
Esther and her radio announcer
husband definitely are not cut to
the Hollywood pattern. For one
thing, their interests are limited
to each other,, swimming, each
other, golf, each other, their
house, each other, jive records,
each other, their work, and each
ether.
Their conversation, naturally,
leflects their interests. The Holly
wood variety of quick, clever pat
ter is never heard around their
house unless some guest tries to
introduce it. The guest usually
bows to the inevitable after a
time.
The only difference between the
Gages and that nice respectable
couple down your block is the
$180,000 a year Esther and Ben
collect between them.
Around Hollywood they say
Ben’s ego is as big as his eix
ioot five frame, but that’s wrong.
Actually his ego is just about
equal in size to Esther’s driving
ambition.
If you're tired, the Gages are
comfortable people to be around.
But Hollywood just can't slow
down to the Gages’ pace. What
the Gages think of the film colony
in return is indicated by the fact
that their home is about as far
away trom Hollywood as you can
get and stay out of the ocean.
They live In- a two-bedroom,
stained-shingle cottage clinging to
a raw hillside. A block away, it
looks like a shack. On the inside,
it's obvious no high-priced decora
tor ever set foot in the place.
The neighborhood is far from
swank. The pavement in front is
rutted and broken. Many a de
partment store clerk lives in more
luxurious surroundings.
But there’s a reason.
Esther Williams was a poor girl.
Things never will be that way
again, and you can bet Esther’s
sizeable bank account on that.'
“My mother and dad. says
| Esther, “taught me the value of
a dollar.” To Esther, now. a dol
lar is worth about 8 cents after
I tares and agents-. “They taught
■ me a lot of other things, too. One i
; of them was to always keep my
head above water, and they didn’t
mean only in swimming.”
Esther was the youngest of five
! children of a commercial artist.
Her folks still live in the little
house in south Los Angeles where
Esther was born 25 years ago.
Even when Esther won prorr.i
! nence through her aquatic prow
! ess — she holds a dozen national
| women's titles—she was snort of
pocked money. So she went in for ,
modeling.
What it takes for modeling'
Esther's got. In addition, she has
that driving ambition. It was only
a matter of time, therefore, until
she and Film Producer L. B.
Mayer came to terms
Very busy being a success.
Esther only recently took time off
to get acquainted with her hus
band. “I haven’t had a breathing
spell for five years," she says,
“and when the studio told me I
didn’t have to do anything until
April, I squealed like a pig.”

A Message To
SOUTHERN BELL EMPLOYES
The following are answers lo questions which are frequently being asked the
Company—
QUESTION
Does the Company want employes out on strike
to return to their jobs?
ANSWER
Yes, we have stated publicly that _we are anxious
for our employees to return to their work. Nearly
4,000 employes have returned since the strike
began. The Company feels that all employes,
management and non-supervisory, have a duty
and obligation to render adequate telephone serv
ice to the public. The Company tried to avoid
this strike. It made an offer before this strike
began to arbitrate wages by allowing an impartial
group of citizens in the South to determine wheth
er or not Southern Bell wages compare favorably
with other wages in this region, with both sides
to abide by the decision. That offer is still open
to the Union.
QUESTION
Have those employes who have returned since
the strike began suffered any loss of seniority or
break in the continuity of service?
ANSWER
No. Those employes who have returned have
done so without any loss of seniority or break
in sendee.
QUESTION
What is the position of the Company on the
Union Shop?
ANSWER
The Company has publicly stated its position that
membership or non-membership in a Union should
not be a condition of employment and has stated
its policy as being that of opposition to any form
I
or Company-Union agreement under which mem.
bership in a Union, or payment of dues to »
Union would be a condition of employment.
Moreover, the Union Shop is unlawful in some
southern states.
QUESTION
Will employes who return to work after the
strike, occupy a more favorable position with
respect to seniority, continuity of service, wage
progression, or otherwise, than those who re
turn to duty during the course of the strike?
ANSWER
No.
QUESTION
Does the Company have an agreement or does the
Company expect to make an agreement with the
Union under which the Company through pay
roll deductions will collect fines that may be as
sessed against individuals by the Union.
ANSWER
The Company has no such agreement with the
Union and its policy is opposed to the making
of such an agreement. Since there is no Union
Shop or other form of agreement making Union
membership a condition of employment the as
sessment and collection of fines is a matter be
tween the Union and the employe.
So long as there are jobs avail
able those employes out on
strike who feel a sense o£ duty to
the public, as well as to them
selves and to the company, will
be cordially welcomed back to
their work.
