If.YouHad MYJOB KEEPING HOUSE, helping take care of the family-you would realize that business girls are not the only ones who some- times get Headache and Tired Aching Muscles. We home girls often work just as hard and have just, as many Headaches, just as many Stomach Upsets and get just as Tired.

The family says I am a lot easier to,live with since I have known about Alka-Seltzer. 'Have you tried ALKA-SELT- ZER?

Of coYrse, the money was not loaned on that basis, but much of it finally reached the pockets of workers, doctors, dentists, mer- chants and thousands of other individuals because almost all of this money was loaned to businesses, farmers and indus- tries in Florida. Bank loans stimulate pro- gress when the money goes into the hands of business and indi- viduals who are using it for new enterprises or the development and expansion of established concerns. Instead of being merely dollars, these loans quickly translate themselves into payrolls, supplies, materi- als --the thousand and one --- IMortgage Notes, Rent or Lease LOST AND FOUND Contracts, Promfssory Notes, and SPurchaser Agreements.
