How did you guess?" “Partly self-defense Every time I come over bere you set me squeezing oranges."’ q sencibl ditt ~ but es in Spi Cat WE KNOW this is the season for silly, sensible gift suggestions—from cement mixers to five-ton trucks —but here's a sensi- ble gift idea with some sense in it. Think of some one on whom you would like to blow almost $15 and give him or her a Sunki& Jr. Ele@tric Orange Juice Extrator. Ie may be as close a friend as your husband or wife. And every time he (or maybe she) squeezes an orange—for years to come—he (or per- haps she) will gush sich peaticade towards jou—and many a drink (of orange juice) will quaffed in your memory. Good old you! Sunki& Jr. is a handsome, Sturdy, electric home squeezer, put our at the low price of $14.95 delivered—selfishly—by Sunkist grow- ets to speed up the use and abuse of oranges. It is 10 in. high, weighs 6 Ibs. Will last a lifetime (and doctors say you'll live longer if you keepdownAcidosis by drinking lots of orange juice.)

And did you know how this benefit racket is promoted? I didn’t think you would. Well, a series of wisenheimers get to- | gether and plot to give somebody a break. | You know, one of those breaks in which the promoters of the benefits reap sixty per cent of the profits. The other forty jis divided up for “expenses,” which in- | cludes the wages for the stage and orches- | tra crews (they never work for nothing; the union won't permit it, titer, titter), and to give you a rough idea what I am | driving at, a Christmas benefit in Brook- | lyn last year took in $7,200 for one per- formance, and after the “expenses” and other things were taken care of, the cause” got $450! Nice, no? But mebbe I'm getting too mentilsenf. However, I'm not. I'm burning upf It gives me a pain in the bloomers wh€n I think of it and right now I'm thinking of it! Yes, indeedy, my nice friend out there west of the Mississippi, it’s plenty rotten. | The best gag I ever used on the subject might interest you again. A team | of small-time hoofers who hadn't worked | in months met at 46th Street and started | complaining, again. “What a cold bunch of booking agents that mob is up in the | Palace building,” began the first. “My wife is sick, the baby ain’t et good milk in a week and I can’t bum a quarter from none of them.” “You're talk growled the other. “Me too. This is a great street, perhaps.” Then one of them looked at the elec- tric sign across the way. It was a sign a | block long featuring “The Four Sons,” | and the sub-title ran: “As Big as the Heart ! of Humanity.” | “Hmmmm,” hmmmd the first, “it says | that picture is as big as the heart of humanity!” “Tt must be a one-reeler!”” snapped the other. Then there's the gag about the team of lay-offs who finally got +a break. They | were booked to play a series of one-night | stands out West. They borrowed enough | sugar to make the first jump and leaped | to Fargo or some place like that. It was Christmas and everything. Nice ol’ Christ- mas. | After hey had played two oni they got the following wire fro} agent in New York: “Very sorry, but balance of booki! canceled due to premature closings duri: holidays.

Medical science discovered that fact some years ago. Experiments on thousands of animals proved that fat departed when this cause was corrected. Then » physicians the world over began to use the method in treating human obesity. Since then, excess fat has been fast disappearing. Slender figures are the rule. You see that everywhere. About 21 years ago this method was em- bodied in Marmola prescription tablets. People have used them for two decades—millions of boxes of them. Users told the results to others—the loss in weight, the gain in health and vigor. Thus the use has grown to enor- mous proportions. That is one great reason for the slender figures, the youth and beauty that you see today. No starvation is required, no hard work. One simply takes four tablets daily until weight comes down to normal. Every contains the formula, also the reasons for results. You know what you are taking and wi If you need help in fighting fat, this is the help to employ. Use what has done so much for so many, tor so long. Deal with the cause. Don’t wait longer. A normal figure will mean much to you. Go start Marmola now. ist is will get once from his jobber. comicbooks.com
