Sent To Indonesians
Batavia, May 29.
In what amounted to an ultimatum, the Dutch demanded of the. Indonesian Republican_authorities that the latter do something at onco towards carrying out the agreed formation of a United States of Indo- nesia within the Dutch Empire.
A memorandum embracing Dutch ideas of what steps should be taken was sent to the Republicans recently and an answer requested within 14 days.
The memorandum added: "Should the answer be in the negative or unsatisfactory, the Dutch nation sees to its regret no possibility of continuing discus- sions and will have to submit the question of what will further happen to the Netherlands Government."

You can't be sure that three square meals a day will give you your daily, basic supply of vita- 'mins. Improperly balanced diet-loss of vitamins in food preparation-little or no vitamins in highly purified foods--all contribute to vitamin deficiency and its consequences. Moreover, con- ditions involving growth or tissue repair, such as pregnancy, nursing, Infancy, strenuous exer. cise, fever, convalescence and prolonged or want- ing illness, may cause an increased need for, vitamla,
Why Multiple Vitamins?
It's very seldom that an individuel is deficient: in only one or two vitamins. A diet causing do- ficiency in one vitamin is likely to cause other associated vitamin deficiencies. That is why we suggest that you take multiplo vitamins. The vitamins you may not need can't hurt you- those you do need will help you!
