Ford Reopens
Norfolk Plant
1 Taking the upward swing of
automobile sales in stride, Ford
Motor Company has reopened its
factory in Norfolk, adding to the
prestige of Virginia industry and
I at the same time evidencing its de
termination to make 1934 a Ford
year throughout the South.
All Norfolk was elated when
City Manager, T. P. Thompson,
recently visited the humming Ford
factory. There he accepted the
keys to the first Ford car to come
off the assembly line and offered
congratulations to Mr. J. H.
Wood, Jr., resident plant manager.
More than 1000 men are employ
ed as a result of the opening.
This means a decided boost to the
combined nav-rolls of the city’s
' industrial enterprises. Moreover,
many local firms will gain through
contracts placed by the revived
Ford factory.
The production schedule is set
high, to meet the strong demand
for the new Ford V-8 for 1934.
Total figures for four Southern
states released by R. L. Polk & Co.,
show a 94% increase in registra
tion of new Ford cars, January
1934 over the same month of 1933.
The Ford total is actually SJ%
higher than January new car reg
istrations of other low priced cars
combined, and 48% of registra
tion of all automobiles for the same
period in these states.
Southern motorists are choosing
the stylish and powerful Ford V-8
car. What’s more, they have
been able to get prompt deliveries
due to the manufacturer’s foresight
in stepping up production during
the late months of 1933 and in
January. With the Norfolk plant
running at full blast the Ford
Motor Company is ideally situated
to meet the unprecedented demand
for its product.
Ford dealers are enthusiastic over
prospects, not merely because the
new Norfolk facilities assure vastly
quicker and more complete atten
tion to cutomers’ needs, but be
cause of the timeproved excellence
of their car itself. The V-type,
8-cylinder Ford engine proved it
self last year. This year it is re
find to offer 12% greater horse
power plus a hew degree of fuel
economy. Notable of many other

Not Free to Gain
While visiting a school recently,
! noticed a little girl whom I men
ally catalogued as a case of mal
mtrition. When the opportunity
T acVpH hpr
how much milk she
was drinking. To
my surprise she
answered “a quart a
day.”
This called for
investigation, so I
pahnrV\f a nrin ninol
and the school nurse for informa
;ion. From them I learned what we
ihould all suspect in similar cases.
This child was not “free to gain,”
recause in spite of the milk, her
rabits and handicaps were such as
;o offset the benefits.
At home she was allowed to stay
up until a very late hour listening
to the radio, and two or three
nights every week she went to the
ate movies with her parents. Her
;eeth were in very bad condition,
reveral times a year she suffered
ittacks of tonsillitis. Her diet war
leficient in vegetables and fruits
and at the table she was called
‘finicky.” The moral is “don’t ex
pect miracles without first remov
ing all obstacles.”
The “perfect attendance” game
in which children are the pawns
will be discussed by Dr. Irelaiu
text week.
Begin Taking Cardui
Today If You Suffer
Like This Lady Did
“WHEN I was a girl, I began tak
ing Cardui,” writes Mrs. Maggie
Stanfield, of Crandall, Ga. “I was
very irregular for twelve months.
Nothing did me very much good
until my mother began to give me
this medicine. Then I got all
right, stout and well.
"After I was married, I was in
bad health. I began taking Cardui
again. I was troubled with my
back a lot. Was awfully restless.
I could not sleep well. I just
weighed 90 pounds when I began
taking Cardui. I improved rapidly.
Before long I weighed 126 pounds.
I felt fine. I was able to do a
good day's work.” #

QUICKER, BETTER
RELIEF from use of !
Black-Draught
•‘I have taken Black-Draught, off
and on when needed, for twenty- !
five years, for It is easy to take," i
writes Mr, George T. Wharton, of
Petersburg, Va. “I take it for con
stipation and when I have that
dull, tired feeling. I take it for
colds and other complaints where
a good laxative is needed, and I
believe it gives me quicker and
better relief than any other medi
cine I know. It certainly has
been a help to me.”
P. 8. — If you have Children; give
them the new, pleasant-tasting
SYRUP of Thedford's Black-Draught.

Some parents worried because
their daughters don’t like books,
but anyway they study the tele

up all the new boy friends.
Question is asked, should young
people go to college? Don’t know,
but it’s considered advantageous if
the boys want to become football

MEDICAL ADVICE
If you want to 1
... keep the bowel action regular and comfortable
•.. make constipated spells as rare as colds
•.. avoid danger of bowel strain '
—use a liquid laxative
Can constipation be overcome?
“Yes!" say medical men. “Yes!”
declare thousands who have fol
lowed their advice and know.
You are not apt to cure your
constipation with salts, pills and
tablets, or any habit-forming ca
thartic. But you can overcome this
condition just by gentle regulation
with a suitable liquid laxative.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has
the average person’s bowels just as
regular as clockwork in a few weeks’
time.
Why Hospitals use
a liquid laxative
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can be con
trolled. It forms no habit; you need
not take a “double dose” a day or
two later. Will not irritate kidneys.
The right liquid laxative will bring
a perfect movement, with no dis
comfort at the time, or afterward.
The wrong cathartic may keep
you constipated as long as you keep
on using itl
In buying any laxative, read the
label. If it contains a doubtful drug,
don’t take it. If you don’t know
what is in it, don’t chance it. The
contents of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin is stated plainly on the
label; fresh herbs, pure pepsin,
active senna.
Its very taste tells you syrup
pepsin is wholesome. A delightful
taste, and delightful ac
tion. Safe for expectant
mothers, and children.
Drugstores have it, ready
for use, in big bottles.
