"In reading material on the part played by the Cossack In the World War, with which our film deals, I found an account of how the name was derived from a band of Tar- tars," Huston revenis.
"The story relates that in the thirteenth century the Tartar Chief Genhis Khan, with his terrifying hordes of soldiers horseback,
on
swept from Asla into the country now known as Russian. These horsemen were known as Kazaks. They were force riders, mounted on fine, well-trained horses such as had never before been seen in this part of the world.
It is claimed that, after
the Tartar invasion was checked, the name Kazukes was adopted by the mounted soldiery of the Russian commanities which were formed on the border lands, notably in the Ukraine. It is said that the name was afterwards corrupted Cossack."

YOU MUST SLEEP
However wide-awake you feel, however over-tired or exdited, you will go quickly to sleep if before going to bed you take two tablets of Genasprin, dissolved in a little water. Genasprin will. soothe your nerves and give you deep, restful sleep. For Genasprin is the purer, safer brand of aspirin, which neither upsets your digestion nor endangers your heart. That is why you can take Genasprin with perfect confidence for all head- aches, fevers and nerve-pains,

England, writes: "For years now I have taken Genasprin myself in place. of all other asprin, and have also given them to children when the Doctor has ordered aspirins. I found with myself that other chesper, brands of aspirin did upset my heart and often seemed to give me indigestion, but Genasprin never seems to have any ill-effects whatever, and certainly does, raliore headaches very speedily. I never hesitate to take it and find it gives great relief,"
