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.

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

Opponents of Amendment Hearlened
by American Legion Acli::i "'
at Convention.
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. Cherrlngton, general
secretary of the World League
Against . Alcoholism, said, repeated
statements by Wet newspapers that
President Hoover would continue to
support prohibition for political rea-
fcdns wo'1 tacit ' confession: ."that', the ;
majority of the voters ot this, coun-
try are dry. ,
Not a word came from adminis
tration quarters regarding the Le
gion vote - or the survey being con
ducted by. 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.

True Wilson, general secretary of
the board of temperance,, prohibi
tion, and public morals of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, that "num
