This Woman in 4 Weeks
Lost ITNwds of Fat
Here's a letter written October 21,
1929, by Mrs. Fred Barringer of
Lewistown, Montana, that ought to
be read by every overweight woman
in America.
Gentlemen: I started taking Krus
chen every morning as' directed as
I was very much over-weight and
wanted to reduce.
I had tried going on a diet but
would get so hungry that my diet
would not last long, so I decided to
Kve "Kruschen Salts" a fair trial.
The day I started to take them I
weighed 256 lbs. and at present,
which has been just four weeks, I
weight 239 lbs. And I must say, I
feel better in every way, besides
.of its heavy burden of ad valoiem
I taxes, pointing out there have been
! 2,800 tax foreclosures in Duplin
I county alone since 1929. He denied
j state supported schools was an
j eastern idea." declaring no sec
' tion of the state "can live to
I itself." Land tax reduction is ab
, solutely necessary, he continued,
J adding that one way to get it was
! through state support schools and
] state maintained roads. e w 11
j take up roads later," he added. He
argued that the school was a
plank of the state democratic plat- ;
form.
The house passed move than :
i a score of measures includ- j
ing a joint resolution to ask:
congress immediately to pay World
! War veterans' certificates.
| The veterans' resolution, by Sena- j
tor Johnson of Duplin, had already j
' passed the senate and is now ready !
Ito be sent to congress.
I Another resolution, calling on con- j
J gress, that of Johnson of Moore to!
I permit federal land banks to ex- j
| tend time on liens before foreclos- j
I ing them, also passed the house and
| is ready to go to Washington.
' Illegal slot machines and punch
boards are defined under a bill of
Representative Pitts of Catawba j
which the house passed, and pro- j
vision is made for punishment for ;
operation of such boards and ma
chines.
Representative Jeflress, chairman
|of the committee on reorganization
jof state government, notified the
j house Thursday that his committee
had decided not to follow the re
commendations of the Brookings in
stiution regarding professional lic
ensing boards in North Carolina.
Barbers' Bill Favored.
House judiciary No. 1 gave a
i favorable report .to the bill to ex
tend the provisions of the barbers'
law to make it apply to all towns
with over 500 population by the
1930 census and to have barber shop
inspection work done under the di
rection of the barbers' licensing and
examining board instead of under
the board of health.
Tentative decision to recommend
abolishment of the present county
government advisory commission
and its replacement by a commis
sion of seven members to be known
as "the local government finance
commission" was reached by the
general assembly sub-committee on
finance.
Gattis Bill Killed.
Senate Judiciary No. 1 killed the J
Gattis bill to allow the supi'eme \
court to set up rules of procedure j
as suggested by the judicial confer-;
ence when it gave an unfavorab l e
report on the measure which had
already passed the house.
Double Funeral

Mr. Elijah Green, age 30 died

I looking much better.
May all large people, both men
.and women, who want to reduce in
ian easy way, give Kruschen Salts
: a fair trial. I am sure it will con
i vince anyone."
( A botile of Kruschen Salts that
, lasts four weeks costs but 85c at
; Peoples Drug Store or any drug
; store in America. Take one half
teaspoon in a glass of hot water be
tore breakfast every morning. To
help reduce swiftly cut out pastry
and fatty meats and go light on po
tatoes, butter, cream and sugar.
The Kruschen way is the safe way
to reduce—Try one bottle and if not
i joyfully satisfied—money back.
