Meat Problems
Decline As Some
Are Ration-Free
The problem of meat will be
lessened after the first of October,
when hamburger, sausage and lun
cheon meats will become ration
free and when point values on
about 15 per cent of , the total meat
supply will he reduced to zero, it
was announced this week.
Another bright spot in the sit
uation is that housewives will be
given four red points and four
cents a pound for fat salvage after
Sept. 30, double the value of points'
and cents now given. The Agricul
ture Department recommended the
increase because of the critically
short supply of fats and oils.
Next month the picture will be
still brighter for the three lower
glades of beef canner, cutter and
utility will be made ration-free
and red points may not be required
for lower grades of lamb and veal.

of the pumpkins, if they inherit
the tendencies and traits of the

interest and profit to the buyers.
Mr. Stamey had no statement
to make of his future plans re

pumpkins, but all his friends and

LADY'S STOMACH WAS
LIKE A GAS FACTORY;
MEALS TURNED TO GAS
One lady said recently that her
stomach used to be like a "gas
factory!" That is, when she ate a
meal it seemed to turn right into
gas. She was always bloated, had
awful stomach gas pains, daily
headaches and constant irregular
bowel action. Now, however, this
lady says she is FREE of STOM
ACH GAS and she says the change
is due to taking INNER-AID. Her
meals agree with her. No gas or
bloat after eating. Headaches and
constipation are gone. "Oh! what
relief!" states this lady. "Why don't
other gas and constipation sufferers
get INNER-AID?"
INNER-AID contains 12 Great
Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable peo
ple soon feel different all over. So
don't go on suffering! Get INNER
