Will the present general dissatisfaction among younger voters of United States with the Republican and Democratic parties result in their swinging to the support of a third party in the future? That question takes an increasing importance as the Socialiste ander Norman Thomas, the Unionist Party under CongressNÄR William Lemke, and the proposed Labour Party of John Lewis loom as growing threats to the supremacy of the old-line parties. While it is improbable, that any of these groups will eat mach figure in the 1936 election, the pendulum of public opinion among the youth of the nation appears to be swinging toward a political party which will be more progressive and liberal in its stand.
A BARBER WHO HAD RHEUMATISM
Tells How He Carried On
A barber who had been a “mertz′′ to rheumatism" writes:——~,
"I have been a martyr to theuma- tism for some ten years. For five years I was so affected that it was |with the greatest difficulty I was able to carry on my business. I may say I am a barber by trade. After hav ing tried numerous remedies, I wa finally advised to try Kruschen. I am pleased to say that after having used Kruschen for some twelve months I am now freer from aches and pains than I have been for some ten years. In fact, I consider I am extred of rheumatism thanks to Krüschen Salts.". M.
Two of the ingredients of Krux- chen Salts are the most effected sol- vents of uric acid known to medical |science. They swiftly dull the sharp edges of the painful crystals, then convert them into harmless solution. Other ingredients of these Salts have |a stimulating effect upon the kidneys, and assist them to expel the dissolved uratic needles through the channel
