WOMEN ACCEPED NDWBY CONGRES Mrs. Kahn Tells City Jewish GroupMembers Must Forget Sex. Congresswomen now are accepted {as a matter of fact by the male mem- bers of the House of Representatives, {declared Mrs. Florence P. Kahn, | Representative from California, in an address yesterday afternoon at the monthly meeting of the Washington section of the Natinal Council of Jew {ish Women at the Jewish Community Center. Mrs. Kahn declared that when she “stepped down to the floor from the gallery,” where she had watched the action of her husband, the late Julius Kahn, Representative from California for 24 years, she learned, among other things, that to be successful in tics women must forget their sex “We must forget we are women.” she said, “We must remember only our official positions. I have sought to do that and I believe other woman Representatives have don so, and now I firmly believe that we are taken as 2 matter of fact by the members of tho House.” Was Only Woman Guest. The speaker jllustrated her mean- ing by telling of her experience in San Francisco as the only woman guest at a reception in honor of the officers of the Pacific fleet, then in San Francisco harbor, at which the attendance was 800.

Caldwell of Mont cello, TIl, o practicing physician for 47 years, 1t seemed cruel that so many constipated infants and chil- dren had to be ept constantly ‘stirred up” and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all children’s little ills, he did not believe that a sickening “purge” or “physic” was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel “regularity” even if the child is chronically con- stipated.

Think of the many times each day your hands touch things that others may have left germ-laden. Things you can’t help but touch. Money, carstraps, door-knobs, banisters, packages, public telephones—all these,and many more, may transmit germs to the hands. That’s why health authorities say hands are among the greatest carriers of sickness. See below, list of 27 germ diseases hands may spread. You wash your hands, of course. But “even if your hands look clean, they may be covered with germs,” says the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. “IF a germ could talk, it would tell you that nothing For greater safety—wash hands at all times with the purifying toilet soap that removes germs, as well as dirt. Benefits the skin, too There isn’t a better toiletsoap made than Lifebuoy. Millions have discovered this for themselves. They prefer it for hands, for bath, for shampoo, for every toilet purpose. They revel in its abundant, penetrating lather that removes dirt in a twinkling, that makes the skin de- lightfully soft and smooth, that destroys all perspiration odors instantly—and keeps them away all day. r, toilet and batho And best of all, Lifebuoy helps safeguard health. Its antiseptic lather removes germs, as well as dirt. Greater protection—its hygienic scent tells you why Lifebuoy is so different from other toilet and bath soaps that even its scent is different. Not a perfume, but a clean, pleasantly hygienic scent which proves Lifebuoy gives greater protection. Even before you've finished your first cake, you'll learn to love this cleanest of all soap scents, which quickly evaporates after rinsing. Without its antiseptic, Lifebuoy would still be a wonderful toilet soap—but it wouldn’t give you the same measure of protection. Like millions of others, once you form the Lifebuoy habit, you'll wonder how any other soap ever satisfied you. Added safety—free You wash and bathe with some soap anyway. So why not use Lifebuoy, which costs no more—probably less—than the soap you are now using? The protection it gives you is actually free! You can get Lifebuoy wherever soap is sold. You will know it by the red box and the cake—orange-red, the color of its pure palm-fruit oils. Lever Bros. Co.
