Why Children Need
a Liquid Laxative
The temporary relief children pet
from some synthetic, habit-forming
cathartic may cause bowel strain,
and even set-up irritation in the
kidneys. A properly prepared liquid
laxative brings a perfect movement.
There is no discomfort at the time
and no weakness after. You don't
have to give the child "a double
dose" a day or two later.
Can constipation be corrected in
children? "Yes!" say medical men.
"Yes!" say many mothers who have
followed this sensible medical advice:
1. Select a good liquid laxative. 2.
Give the dose you find suited to the
system. 3. Gradually reduce the dose
until the bowels are moving regularly
without aid.
An approved liquid laxative (one
that is widely used for children) is
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. The
mild laxative action of this excellent
preparation is the best form of help
for children and grown-ups, too.
The dose can be regulated for any
age or need.
Your druggist has Dr. CaldwelTt
Syrup Pepsin. Member X. It. A- -
suing year was held, with the follow

DEITIES FZDEKAL C0IJTE0L
Chicago. Col. Robert McCcrmiefe,
editor and publisher and chairman
of the committee of the American
Newspaper Publishers' association on
freedom of the press, said that under
the first amendment to the constitu
tion the press, in his opinion, could
not be compelled to accert Fpeci.il
government control. Colonel McCor-
mick referred to the NRA code pro
posed by the government for the
press, and explained that newspaper
publishers had signified a willingness
to sign the code as the government
drew it, with the single addition of a
clause guaranteeing freedom of the
press. This he said, the government
will not agree to .while newspapers,
almost unanimously, are insisting on
its inclusion.
Morgenthau Has
a Man to Liking
as Tax Adviser
Displaces Harold Groves by Naming
University cf Columbia Espeit,
Boswell Kagill.
Washington. With a word of
praise for two high governmental
fiscal officers who are in disagree
ment with the administration or.
monetary poiicy, Acting Secretary
Morgenthau left to discuss the pro
gress of the currency program with
President Roosevelt at Warm Springs.
At his daily presa confrenc, just be
fore leaving, he expressed a high re
gard for Lewis Douglas, director of
the budget, and Eugene R. Black,
governor of the federal reserve board,
both monetary conservatives, and an
expectation cf working side by sicie
with them thru the vital months
ahead.
In addition he announced the ap
pointment of Rosv.eil Magill, of Co
lumbia imiersity, as the treasury's
tax advisor. Ho will r .place Harold
M. Groves cf the University of Wis
consin, who, appointed a short while
before Morgenthau toe!: charge cf the
treasury, was unable, the acting v.ec
retarye said, to meet the civil service
requirements. He explained he want
ed a man of his own choosing for
the post and said Magill was gener
ally regarded as one of the country's
outstanding authorities on taxation.
He added that Groves ak.o had at
tained a high reputation in this field
as a member of the Wisconsin legis
lature and the state's tax commission.
Morgenthau said that under a new
arrangement that had been worked
out regarding the source of Magill's
salary it would be unnecessary i'or
him to take the civil service examin
ation. Ilisj salary is to come, it was
intimated, from a special fund appro
priated by congress to meet expenses
incident to the banking crisis of last
spring.
The acting secretary said the sal
aries of his assistant and publicity
director. Herbert Gaton, and three
officials brought into the dpartment
ihis week to divide the duties ordin
arily assigned to th? undersecretary
were to come from the Federal Do
posit Insurance corporation. This
brought au immediate protest from
Walter J. Cummir.gs, chairman of the
corporation, who disclaimed the men
were cn his payroll. Carton a little
later announced that their salariss
were ccming from the special appro
priation. The men in question are
Earle Eaile, in charge of fiscal af
fairs; William M. McRcynolds, given
atithority over matters cf personal
administration and departmental
budget, and Herman Oliphant, gen
?ral counsel to the acting secretary.
Morgenthau would have nothing
to say regarding a resolution adopt
ed this week by the federal advisory
council, an auxiliary of the federal
reserve system, opposing the admin
istration's monetary program. He
said he had heard of it only as gossip.
Waiter R. Frew, chairman of the
Corn Exchange Dank and Trust com
pany and representative of the New
York district on the council, disclosed
that the council had taken a stand
against a currency of fluctuating
value, and said that monetary uncer
tainty had affected the economic
structure of the nation adversely.

The wind that sweeps across

And whirls the sand and seed

Recklessly scattering them into

Y.'as not from his ancestors' an

Ent fcrcrd with a necessary

As freely as a motor makes the

The rkala's shrill clatter may

While the tassle of corn tosses

And poilcnizes the sttm of the

And makes a kernel to grow

The days of the year are draw

As the rattle of the corn and

To that sublime height that put

Ar.d i.aved a goodly heritage in

The muses seemed ready their

With the mu.-ical lyre that the

Although Bruno's phyloophy

Until he was consumed by the

When the rays cf light begia

And a sun-beam falls across

To brighten a rough, rugged

Seems an eternal emancipation

CUE AXIS MAKE DEBT STUDY
Havana. The Cuban foreign debt
was a matter of concern for the Grau
San Martin government the first
day during which there was no shoot
ing in the capital since last week's
rebellion. President Grau conferred
with Havana officials of the Chase
bank. A government spokesman said
debt matters were discussed.
Finance Minister Despagne said be
fore the conference that he did not
know whether "we can pay the De
cember installment on the exterior
debt, but many things can happen
before December." At army head
quarters it was said that the inerior
situation had quieted considerably
after rebel movements in O.-iente,
Camaguey, and Santa Clara provinces
and that "most of rebel bands have
dispersed."
"Mystery Is Deepened Every
Angle of the Wynekoop Murder Baf

100 per cent baffled, and consequent

false notions to disprove, ought to
get results pretty soon.

Frank A. Vanderlip Cppo-es Doth In
flaticn r.nd Gold Easis of
Former Times.
New York. Frank A. Yanderlip,1,
financ ier, outlined a plan for stabil -
izing the dollar without reverting to
the gold standard of the post-war per
iod. Yanderlip, expressing opposition
to unrestricted currency inflation as
well as to the gold standard a3 it
previously existed, said, however, ht
did believe "in the definite attach
ment to gold of our currency, so far
as ability to settle foreign trade bal
ances in gold is concerned."
lie expressed the opinion his plan
"would return us to the gold stand
ard. d would stop the exaggerate
gyrations of the foreign exchange
market, and give legitimate export
ers and importers a solid basis upon
wihch to calculate." Also, he said:
"It would prevent gold hoaring. It
would prevent our monetary base
from augmentation or depletion with
out regard to any proper elements of
the monetary problem, which amounts
to the most vicious tinkering with
our currency by foreign forces."
As outlined in a statement re
leased thru the committee for the
nation, Vanderiip's plan follows:
First: Permanently cease the coin
age of gold.
Second: Convert all existing gold
coin into bullion.
Third: Confine the convertibility of
the stabilzied dollar to exchangeabil
ity for gold bars only, with a mini-
mum weight equal to approximately

Fifth: Retain the present govern
ment control of all foreign exchange
transactions. Specifically defire that

only be freely supplied for netting

WANTS PLAN EECOXSIDEEED
Washington.' Senator ?Cofrl3 Indi
cated he planned to ask the public
works administration to reconsider
its unfavorable decision on the North
Loup power-irrigation project. It was
rejected, he said, on the ground there
was insufficient demand for It3 pow
er and that its Irrigation would bring
new land under cultivation.
While Norris has declined to pro
test decisions of the PWA. he said
he wculd call attention to the real
demand for power in that area ar.d
the fact that all land to be irrigated
under the project already is under
cultivation. E. H. Dunmiree. engi
neer for the $2. 905.000 project, said
it was "net defeated by any means."
The uncle of William C. Bullitt,
the new ambassador to Russia, vio
lently disapproves recognition of that
un-Christian government and con
demns his nephew's connection with
the whole procedure. Fortunately for
the new ambassador his irate rela
tive is ot a rich uncle, but merely a
j reverend uncle.
