X7 TV70 PLATTSKOUTn SEIII-T7EESLY JOUEUAL MONDAY, SEPT. 2S, 1931. ?1 f-l 3 RIUJILES. big iep to BOWELS What a joy to have the bowels move like clockwork, every day! It's easy, if yon mind these simple rules of a famous old doctor: 1. Drink a big tnmblerful of water before breakfast, and several times a day. . 2. Get plenty of outdoor exercise with out unduly fatiguing yourself. 3. Try for a bowel movement at exactly the same hour every day. Everyone's bowels need help at times, but the thinq to use is Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. You'll get a thorough cleaning-out, and it won't leave your insides weak and watery. This family doctor's prescription is just fresh laxa tive herbs, pure pepsin, and other helpful ingredients that coulJn't hurt a child. But how it wakes up those lazy bowels! How cood you feci with your system rid "of all that poisonous waste matter. - Dr. V. B. Caldwell's SYRUP PEPSIN A Doctor's Family Laxative WHERRY DECLARES FARM MUST LOOK TO BANKS FOR AID Clay Centtr, Neb., Sept. 25. State Senator Kenneth S. Wherry of Paw nee City told a large crowd at the Clay county fair today that the far mer must lock to the banks for real agricultural relief. The success of any plan to hold grain for a higher price, either by individuals or by the government, he assorted, depends on finance, and if the fanners ar to expect relief the federal reserve must permit distri butions .through, the banking sys tem whereby loans may be made in keeping with the farmers ability to pay. Only through such a system, be said, can a l:.rge numbei or farmers be expected to hold their crop for higher prices. "Our government should back our state and national banking systems to the extent: that loa.n3 might -be made as. they were to pioneer in .thi.-j country," he said, "looking to-nthii ability and honosty of the farmer A to oreate wealth, and their faith in; farming and producing crops irom the soil, which in turn builds up the coxintry; and not on a liquid state ment of a chattel on a fie to one basis which must be paid within 60 or 90 days." COTTON PICKERS NEEDED Little Rock, Ark.--Police action to lone unemployed loiters to help pick this year's bounteous cotton crop had extended frcm Helena in eastern Arkansas to Bowie county, Texas, on the southwestern border Helena and Phillips county officers already have started a drive to get cotton pickers to " the fields by threats of vagrancy charges end Bowie county officials said a similar campaign would start there next Monday. Cotton planters complained they were unable to secure picker3, despite unemployment. They attributed the situation to the prevailing low rate of thirty to Icrty cents per hundred pounds be ing paid for pickers, but said a high er price could net be paid. CHILDREN CRY FOR IT IIILDREN hate to take medicine as a rule, but every child loves the taste of Castoria. This pure vegetable preparation is just as good as it tastes; jest as bland and just as harmless as tbe recipe reads. When Baby's cry warns of colic, a few drops of Castoria have him soothed, asleep again in a jiffy. Nothing is more valuable in diarrhea. When coated tongue or bad breath tell of constipation, invoke its gentle aid to cleanse and regulate a child's bowels. In colds or children's diseases, you should toe it to keep the system from clogging. Castoria is sold in every drag store; the genuine always bears Qus. H. Fletcher's signature,' v ran -a I-I-M-I-I-I-M-I-I-I-I-I-I-I f GREENWOOD 4. Miss Oladvs LaRue visited over Sunday with friends in Omaha.

Washington Repercussions from the American Legion convention and .elsewhere Friday shoved the pro hibition question forward to the cen ter of the political stage from which it had been crowded recently by eco nomic problems. While one congres sional opponent of prohibition hail ed the legion's recommendation for a new vote on the liquor question as "the death knell" of the Volstead law and the eighteenth amendment, dry leaders quietly stood their ground. Representatvie Britten, Illinois, said the legion's vote sounded the "death knell" to the prohibition law. He added if the service organization and the American Federation of La bor would use "their tremendous persuasive power" they could bring about repeal of the Volstead law dur ing the next session of congress. Senator Glenn, another Illinois re publican, said he was ready to vote for resubmission of the eighteenth amendment as recommended by the legion, or for beer if the opportunity should be presented. Dry leaders In congress declined to comment on the legion's vote, but some of them said privately It would have a tremendous political effect. Among those who would not com ment was Senator Wat6on, leader of the senate, who has previously advo cated a referendum. , Declares Majority Dry. Ernest H.

Secretary Hyde to deter mine whether legalization of beer would help the farmers. Commissioner Doran, of the indus trial alcohol bureau said he was tak ing steps to prevent legal prescrip tions for liquor from being filled with bootleg whisky. He pointed out that a New York druggist was re cently indicated for filling prescrip tions with illicit liquor. The statement of Dr. Clarence True Wilson, general secretary of the board of temperance,, prohibi tion, and public morals of the Meth odist Episcopal church, that "num bers of staggering drunks disgraced the uniform and yelled for beer" at Detroit brought a rejoinder from the League for Modification of the Vol stead act. "I would suggest that Dr. Wilson put his own house in order and con fine his criticism to those of his or ganization who vote dry and drink wet," said former Senator Hans-1 brough of North Dakota, national chairman of the league. -State Jour nal.
