NOT A CATHARTIC V-Tabs are not a cathartic. They help reduce fat by supplementing your regular diet when taken instead of a heavy lunch, and also tend to take away that abnormal appetite caused by over-acidity or fatigue. If you are overweight, always tired, full of acid and yet like to eat try v-Tabs. As fatigue and acidity disappear, your normal appetite will return and you will no longer crave the quantities of food that cause the excess fat deposits. QUICK . . . HARMLESS . . .

Please print plainly. that Harry held. You could always find everybody you knew at Harry's. Carole, I mean little Jane Peters, was a pet there. From a good Los Angeles family, Jane had ducked out of her fashionable girls' school a movie star for to be. She burned with ambition, but to me she always looked like she needed to grow up some more. She looked about 14 that day, but her violet eyes (no one ever had violet eyes like Carole) were shining like the star sapphires she later loved so well. She burst into the room and we almost dropped our gin fizzes. "I've got a contract!" she cried. "Darlings, look at me— I'm a leading lady! Fox has signed me to play opposite Eddie Lowe!" It was her first Hollywood break. Her first crack at being an actress. She bounced around the room like a rubber doll. Then Harry Lombard sighed, "You 11 never get famous as Jane Peters. It's too plain. Who'll want to see Jane Peters up in lights?" . ■ , Carole stopped dead and frowned. Oh, damn!" she said. "I never thought of that. Of course I won't. I'll simply have to get a new name. What on earth will it be?" "How about mine?" suggested Harry. "How about Jane Lombard? That's more theatrical." And Harry wasn't theatrical at all. But the 'Jane' was still wrong and everybody in the big room started chipping in with suggestions. Finally somebody, I've forgotten who, came up with Carole and the new Miss Lombard snatched it like a trout does a fly. "That's it," she cried happily. "Meet Carole Lombard." So we did and afterwards so did a lot of other people. I hope Clark finds the right girl to make him happy and marries again. That's what Carole would want him to do and I think he knows it. That doesn't mean that he'll ever forget her. The only personal treasure Clark salvaged out of the charred wv-Jwwwwvvvv aw Dear Modern Screen: A little bird told me you were having a birthday, so I had to write. You know, I used to think editors were all sort of middle-aged and serious, and I'll never forget how surprised I was when I first met you and Sylvia and Henry. I suppose you must be serious too, in a way, else you couldn't be running a magazine like Modern Screen. But Sylvia's so young and pretty, and you two boys are so young and, well — cute-looking, with your grins and your crewcuts. (Which reminds me, is there a rule about crewcuts for Modern Screen editors? You don't have to answer.) Anyway, you turned out to be just as gay and human as you looked, and I think of you more as friends than editors. That goes for the whole staff. Know what I read first in the magazine? The editorial page. It's like family news — parties and pictures of Pete and all about that nice Jean Kinkead and her husband in the South Pacific. You're all real to me — same as you try to make us real to the readers, and I only hope they react the same way I do. Because knowing you makes me think you're a grand gang. Many happy returns. Your friend, Lana Lax**** «* too s«o»r Forcing a child to take a harsh, bad-tasting laxative is such needless, old-fashioned punishment! A medicine that's too strong will often leave a child feeling worse than before ! Others** Too MM' A laxative that's too mild to give proper relief is just as unsatisfactory as none at all. A good laxative should work thoroughly, yet be kind and gentle! Treat the Children to the "HAPPY MEDIUM'LAXATIVE Ex-Lax gives a thorough action. But Ex-Lax is gentle, too !
