Reports coming to Better Business Bureaus indicate that many women are being upset by articles that have appeared in certain publicabcris-, or by men selling cooking utensils house-to-house, who are telling women that aluminum cooking utensils are bad for health-and should be thrown tway. , Sometime salesmen even make misleading tests to show in ap parently clouded condition of water boiled in aluminum. . The National Better Business Bureau assures yon that these storlef and tricky tests are entirely false and misleading. Prominent health authorities, including the United States Public Health Service, state that there is -absolutely no truth whatsoever in them. The Federal Trade Commission Yepeatedly has branded such state ment as false and its findings have been sustained by the Courts.

So, ladies', be warned. Don't throw aay your alominum cooking utensils; they .are entirely safe. Your family physician or vour local health department will confirm this.
