The ideal throat antiseptic—wone of proved germicidal power, that can be carried with you and used at fre- quent intervals wherever you may be—is now realized in Formamint. As the pleasant - tasting tablet slowly dissolves, it bathes every fold and crevice of the throat tissues with a powerful but safe antiseptic fluid that searches out and destroys throat germs. To treat sore throat—take a tab- let every hour or so. To prevent infection, take one about every two hours whenever you are exposed to disease, dust or cold.

The chief end sought is to increase interest in and respect for the basic prin- ciple of government in each of the participating naticns. Therefore, in the United States, the contest this year, as heretofore, will center around the Constitution. The preliminary work cf the contest is now under way in the schools. It is tak- ing the fcrm of original, ten-minute oraticns on the Constitution—embracing three phases—regional, national and international.
