Me* GRAY HAIR REMEDY iSi MADEATHOME VOU can now make at home a ■*■ better gray hair remedy than you can buy, by following: this simple recipe : To half pint of water add one ounce bay rum, I a small box of Barbo Compound and one-fourth ounce of glycerine. Any druggist can put this up or you can mix it yourself at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. Barbo imparts color to streaked, faded, or gray hair, makes it soft and glossy and takes years off your looks. It will not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off. HAPPY RELIEF FROM PAINFUL BACKACHE Caused by Tired Kidneys Many of those gnawing, nagging, painful backaches people blame on colds or strains are often caused by tired kidneys — and may be relieved when treated in the right way. The kidneys are one of Nature's chief ways of taking acids and wastes out of the blood. A healthy person should pass about 3 pints a day and so get rid of more than 3 pounds of waste matter. If the 15 miles of kidney tubes and niters don't work well, this waste stays in the body and may become poisonous. It may start nagging backaches, leg pains, loss of pep and energy, getting up nights, swelling, puffiness under the eyes, headaches and dizziness. Don't let it lay you up. Ask your druggist for Doan's Pills — used successfully by millions for over 40 years. They give happy relief and will help to flush out the 15 miles of kidney tubes. Get Doan's Pills. he wouldn't let it go out. 1 think you'd better record it again,' he said, 'and leave me out. Just the orchestra and a piano solo.' So that's what we did, and that's why the record of 'Waltz in Swing Time' hasn't any Astaire taps in it." Johnny leaned back in his chair and clasped his hands behind his head. "That's the way he is, though," he went on. "He's so conscientious that he won't be satisfied with anything less than the best he can do. You'd expect camera crews and other people on the job to get exasperated at him when he rehearses for hours to get a step just right, but they don't because at the right minute he always wise-cracks or clowns in a way that proves he knows how he's holding thingsup, and is laughing at himself for doing it. FRED'S whole-hearted about everything he does. A lot has been written about how seriously he takes himself, and it's true, he does; but he isn't solemn about it. When he's workjng, he works hard, and when he plays, he plays hard. He doesn't go out much, to premieres and night clubs, because he hates crowds, but at a party there isn't anybody who can clown more, or have a better time than Fred. "He's the friend of everybody on the set or in the studio. You'll find him talking to a script boy as often as to a celebrity, because he likes almost everybody who knows how to talk intelligently. He hasn't any patience at all with inability, but he'll listen with interest to anyone who knows what he's talking about. "Fred's own standards of work are high, as that business of the records proved, but his method of getting high standards from others never hurts. For instance, I'm sure he respects my work, but he knows that for practical reasons I'm apt to try to 'get by' sometimes with something that isn't quite as good as it could be, but which no one but a musician would notice. So he mimics me. He'll sit down at a piano and play for a minute, then hit a sour note — not a very obvious or important one — and then squint his eyes around to see if anybody noticed, ready to try to laugh it off, just as I do when 1 make a slight mistake. Then he'll cover his mouth with his hand and laugh as if he'd put me in a very embarrassing spot. But he's such a natural comedian that the criticism doesn't hurt. "He's consistent in everything he does, in his work and in his private life. Every dance step has to follow naturally on the one before it — he won't do a flashy routine just to show off, but if the little story each of his dances tells needs a flashy routine, he'll work his head off — and his feet too — to supply one. He's — " and once again there was no mistaking the deepness of the admiration in Johnny's voice — "he's one if the finest gentlemen I know." And that would be a good place to end this story, except that so far 1 haven't explained why with all his talents, Fred can't be master of ceremonies on his own program. Johnny wouldn't have dreamed of telling me this; it's a backstage radio inside-story. Fred can't ballyhoo. If he admires someone's work, he can praise it enthusiastically — but if it should happen that the show scheduled a guest star Fred personally didn't think was so colossal, his introduction of that star might not be as enthusiastic as it should. Not through any malice on Fred's part, but just because he couldn't conscientiously praise the star to the listening audience. He'd try — but you, listening in, would know something was wrong. And so, if any formal masterof-ceremonying is done, someone besides Fred will do it. Sounds idealistic, doesn't it? As a matter of fact, it is — and it's true besides. 0*4 MIDWEST gum Ho* PUSH BUTTOn TUniHG //xELECTR IK SAVER TUBES 5 UlflVE BARDS.. 1,9^2200 mETERS 30 DAYS FREE TRIAL! \ A EVERYWHERE, radio enthusiasts are praising this amazingly beautiful, bigger, better, more powerful, super selective 16-tube 5-band radio.
