neighbors of the attentions which
one Charlie Long had been paying

had accused Long of atemptlng to
break up his home, but Long claim

REGULAR
PAINS
The modern Miss needs no "time
out” for the time of month.
If you’ve ever taken Bayer Aspirin
for a headache, you know how soon
the pain subsides. It is just as effec
tive in the relief of those pair -
peculiar to women!
Don’t dedicate certain days of
.-very month to suffering. It’s < d
fashioned. It’s unnecessary. Aspirin
will always enable you to carry-on
in comfort. Take enough to assure
you complete comfort, lfil is genuine
aspirin it cannot possibly hurl you.
Bayer Aspirin does not depress the
heart. It does nothing but stop the
pain, so use it freely.
Headaches come at inconvenient
times. So do colds. But a little Bayer
Aspirin will always save the day.
Neuralgia. Neuritis. Rheumatism.
Pains that once kept people home arc
forgotten half an hour after taking c
few of these remarkable tablets. So
are the little nagging aches tb.\
bring fatigue and ‘ nerves” by da;
or a sleepless night.
Genuine Bayer Aspirin tablet
cost so very little after all, that it
doesn’t pay to experiment with
imitations!

Opens Drive For
New Members
The Chicago branch of the Na- ;
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored Pecple will open its j
anual membership drive on October \
16th, with the officers and members j
of the local branch working in co- |
operation under the leadership of;
Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkins. regional dl- ■
rectcr. Mrs. Lampkins was in |
charge of the Spring drive for the ,
local branch, and with the hearty
support of the local branch was able
to report an encouraging increase of
members in this city.
The headquarters of the drive will
be located in Rooms 314 and 315 of
the Pythian Temple building, at
3737 State street. All former work
ers for the association are request
ed to report as volunteers for the
membership drive. Valuable work
of the association is too well known
by all Chicagoans to need any de
scription of explanaition. and the
increasing need for such an agency
in our midst is the best argument
which can be advanced to interest
and enlist the support of the com
munity! *
