We only wish we could've had a peep at those considered not fit for publication. “Schweik or the Good Soldier” is a and-pretzels satire on the war, evidently written by a rubber Czech whose humorous bank account would have been sadly overdrawn had he not died before completing only four vol- umes of the original six he had planned. As it is, the satire is as ob- vious as a kick in the pants, but its long, tedious stretches are broken by flashes of good war humor. , —Terb Suane right- | a-pigs at Colgate, it raises | THE STOCK EXCHANGE IS HIS ONLY “GYM” ...

An unpleasant, soft moistness with itching between the tocs of his left foot worries him and bothers him more than a ten-point drop in one of his favorite stocks. And the thing that bullies this man in the game of bulls-and-bears is a tiny ringworm germ called tinea trichophyton—bardly notice: able at first, but stealthy, persistent and terribly annoying Later on. *Many Syepiems for the Same Disease— So Easily Tracked into the Home “Athlete's Foot” may start in a number of different ways,* but it is now generally agreed that the germ, tinea trichophyton, is back of them all, It lurks where you would least expect it—in the very places where people go for health and recreation and cleanliness. In WATCH FOR THESE DISTRESS SIGNALS. THAT WARN OF “ATHLETE'S FOOT” Though “Athlete's Foor” is caused by the germ— tinea trichephyton— its carly stages manifest themselves in several different ways, usually berween the toes— sometimes by redness, sometimes by skin-cracks, often by tiny itching blisters. The skin may turn white, thick and moist, or it may develop dryness with little scales. Any one of these calls for immediate treatment! If ye case appears aggravated and does not readily yield toAbsorbine Jr.,consult your physician without delay. bsorbin Al spite of modern sanitation, the germ abounds on locker- and dressing-room floors—on the edges of swimming pools and showers—in gymnasiums—around bathing beaches and bath-houses—even on hotel bath-mats, And from all these places it has been tracked into countless homes until today this ringworm infection is simply ererywhere. Itis so easily overlooked at first that ithas stolen up on the entire nation until now the United States Public Health Service finds "It is prob- able that at least one-balf of all adults suffer from it at some time.” And authoritics say that half the boys in high school are affected. There can be no doubt that the tiny germ, tinea trichophyton, has made itself a nuisance in America.
