POOLE'S MEDLEY
(By D. Scott Poole)
From bad to good is a long step.
No: many make the stride not any,
in :act, unaided. The reason is, I
believe, the tendency naturally Is to
ward bad. '
1945 has given us many unusual oc
currences. The first of the year
looked like a long and continuously
war. But brave, unterrified American
soldiers by the help of the Lord,
changed that state of affairs, and
soon .won. We all dreaded the long
war prospect in Japan, but Provi
dence came to our help there speed

any p fvious storm. Reason: more to

RAEFORD LADY SPIT
UP ACID LIQUIDS FOR
, HOURS AFTER EATING
! For hours after every meal, a Rae
ford lady used to spit up a strong, I
acidulous liquid mixed with pieces of
half-digested food. She says it was j
awful. At times she would nearly,
strangle. She had stomach bloat, daily
heauaches and constant irregular ,
bowel action. Today, this lady eats
her meals and enjoys them. And she ;
says the change is due to taking I.N-NER-AID.
Her food agrees with her.
No gas, bloat or spitting up after
eating. She is also free of headaches
now, and bowels are regular, thanks
to this Remarkable New Compound.
INNER-AID contains 12 Great
Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish liv
er and kidneys. Miserable people
soon feel different all over. So don't
go on suffering! Get INNER-AID.

RlDINu THE RODS or running a
business, it's easy enough when you
don't have to pay the freight. You
simply get a free ride at somebody else's
expense.
Maybe you run a store or service
station or dress shop. Would you like
to have a next-door competitor who has
little or no rent, or taxes, or interest to
pay, and who is kept in business partly
by your tax money?
Yet this is what happens with govern
ment and municipal electric power sys
tems. They are not required to pay .
federal taxes; often get money from
the public treasury at little or no inter
est; make up losses out of your pocket
as a taxpayer.
Meanwhile, on the average, Amer
ica's uiitnrij-managed electric com
panies turn back to the people as taxes
about 25c out of every dollar received.
And these companies owned and
operated by millions of folks like you
meet all other obligations without bene
fit of special privileges.
Today, these tax-paying, self-supporting
companies supply over 80
of the tremendous amount of electric
power produced in America . . . enough
to meet the gigantic demands of war
and still take care of civilian needs.
Better yet at a time when most
things cost more fcuiincjj-managed
companies still deliver electricity at low
pre-war prices. This record is your as
surance that cheap, plentiful, depend
able electric power will be yours in the
post-war era ahead.
