1. Take 2 BAYER ASPIRIN tablets and drink full glass of water. Repeat treatment in 2 hours.
Genuine Bayer Aspirin — the Thing to Take for Fast Relief
Instead of buying costly medicines for a cold, try the way nearly any doctor you ask will approve as the modern way — BAYER ASPIRIN. It is perhaps the most famous and most widely used of all cold remedies today — yet costs only 15^ for a dozen tablets or two full dozen for a quarter anywhere in the United States.
The way you use it is this: Two BAYER tablets when you feel a cold coming on. Take with a full glass of water. Then repeat, if necessary, according to directions in each package.
This will act to fight fever, cold pains and the cold itself. And it will
save you from taking strong medicines for a cold. Medicines that often upset the whole system. Relief comes rapidly.
Get the genuine BAYER ASPIRIN by asking for it by its full name: not by the name "aspirin" alone.

hadn't thought him capable. Busy at deceit and trickery, just like any Broadway boy!
"I'm sorry you feel like that," he was saying quietly.
"I do! And you can cancel all arrangements you've made for me."
"Wait a minute!" he exclaimed. "Don't let your personal feelings interfere with business. You can go as far as you want in radio, and as long as your eyes are on the top, I'll work my head off to help you."
"Why?"
"Because I like to be associated with. success. And the more money you make, the more money I make too."
"Strictly business," Gwen said contemptuously.
"That's all. Why not?"
Before Gwen could answer the door to Jack Carson's office opened and Carson came out. He looked at Bob sourly.
"Good morning, Gwen," he said. "What's all the trouble out here?"
"Gwen has changed her mind about the Piatt show. She doesn't want to be on it," Bob explained. "She — well — " he gestured toward the paper.
"Oh!" Jack sighed.
"Well?" Gwen demanded.
"Two hundred and fifty dollars for a broadcast is a lot of money," Jack said timidly.
"Two hundred and fifty!" Gwen glared at Miller. "Did you agree to that figure?"
Bob blushed under her disdain. "How much do you want?" he asked.
"A thousand dollars!"
"A thousand — !" Bob and Jack cried in unison. "Why not two thousand?" Bob added.
"Thanks," Gwen said curtly. "Two thousand. You can send the contract to my hotel. Good morning, gentlemen!"
She left the room with her head high, but in the taxicab which she called blindly as soon as she reached the street she huddled back in one corner, ashamed to let the driver see she was crying. A twothousand-dollar contract is nothing much when you've just found out that the man you were beginning to love is strictly business.
Gwen didn't even have time to open up her suitcase back at the hotel before a messenger from Commercial was knocking o.n her door. When she opened it he thrust a large red envelope, marked RUSH at her. It was a contract and the sum called for was $2000.00 for a single guest performance. She sat down weakly on the bed. They had called her bluff. She'd have to go through with it.

ONCE Gwen had thought a week was a long time to rehearse for one program just sixty minutes long. But preparing for her guest appearance on the Piatt golf ball program was the most strenuous ordeal of her life. And it didn't help any to have to see Bob every day, even though all their conversations were "strictly business."
The first day she met Rossman. He was almost nice, not half as bad as she'd thought from his records. And whenever she began to feel sorry for herself about Bob, she wandered about the studios watching the applicants for jobs stream in and out. Here she was, once as unknown as any of them, now guest-starring on radio's biggest new program! There was the lovable hillbilly from Arkansas, Bob Black, for instance, who simply haunted the studio, with a strange instrument he called the bazooka under his arm. Wanted to audition for Leopold Stokowski, he insisted. Each day the receptionist gently turned him down. Every day
