ij WHAT A LAXATIVE
;i SHOULD BE I!
Danger lies in careless selection
of laxatives l By taking the first
thing that comes to mind when bad
breath, headaches, dizziness, nausea,
biliousness, gas on stomach and
bowels, lack of appetite or energy
warns of constipation, you risk
forming the laxative habit.
Depend on a doctor’s judgment
in choosing your laxative. Here's
one made from the prescription of
a specialist in bowel and stomach
disorders. Its originator tried it
an thousands of cases; found it safe
for women, children and old folks;
thoroughly effective for the most
robust man. Today, Dr. Caldwell’s
ISyrup Pepsin, as it is called, is the
world’s most popular laxative. It
is composed of fresh herbs and
other pure ingredients. You can
get it, in generous bottles and ready
for use, at any drugstore.
Oh, the Drums and Linings!
"Its scandalous to think they’re
going to charge you all that mbney

the German people has undergone a
radical change since May, 1928—and
there has not been the slightest in

recalled that in the Reichstag elec

If you bear a bit of gossip.
Whether false or whether true.

Let me tell you what to do.
Button up your lips securely
Lest the tale you should repeat.
Bringing sorrow unto someone
Whose life now is none too sweet.
If you see a careless action
That would bring it3 author wos
If it were construed unkindly,
Let me tell you what to do.
Button up your lip3 securely,
All unseeing pass it by.
‘Tis far better to keep silent
Than to cause a tear or sigh.
If you know cf one who yielded
To temptation long ago,
But whose life has since been blame

Let me tell you what to do.
Button up your lips securely;
His the secret; God alone
Has the right to sit in judgment.
Treat it as to you unknown.
Sometimes life is filled with trou

Oft its burdens are severe.
Do not make it any harder
By your careless word or sneer.
Button up your lips securely

But be swift in word3 of comfort,
Words of praise and words of

Public Lands Problem.
From New York World.
Senator Borah shows little enthu
siasm for Mr. Hoover’s proposal re
garding the public lands. The land*
Involved, he says, are mainly moun
tain slope and desert, and a jack
rabbit could hardly live on much ol
them. The cost of administration
would be heavy. Senators Smoot
King and Kendrick take the same
position. Transfer to the state the
mineral rights and if possible the
forest reserves also, they declare,
and then the suggested federal of
fer would be worth accepting.
If this is to be the general west
ward attitude, Mr. Hoover’s proposal
will not get far. But the western
stockmen and would-be homestead
ers remain to be heard from. Home
steading still continues on a small
scale—entries in 1927 aggregated 3,*
237,000 acres. Large numbers ol
western stockmen believe that state
ownership and control of grazing
land3 will benefit them. There is a
steady demand in parts of the west
for 1,280 acre or 2,560 acre grazing
homesteads, which federal laws da
not permit but state laws might
Some westerners believe that fed
eral control is best, since ranges ex
tend across state lines and summei
and winter grazing means covering
long distances north and south. But
others believe the slates could con
serve the ranges better than th#
nation has done.
If Mr. Hoover’s proposal be taken
at face value, it means giving the
western states an opportunity to
take badly administered, fast deter
ioting grazing lands and build up
their forage production to the high
est possible limits. Experiment sta
tion work in Utah, Arizona, New
Mexico and other states, according
to western congressmen, has proved
that overgrazed federal lands can,
by proper organization and regula
tion, be made to support from twice
to 10 times as many cattle as now.
The western senators may as well
realize that in talking of obtaining
tho mineral rights and forest re
serves they are facing a stone wall;
the country will not consent to any
such grant But the grazing lands
are not a gift horse to be summar
ily rejected. The western states and
the rest of the country should find
it worth while to give Mr. Hoover’s
proposal careful study.
WASHINGTON —Hail, ram,
mow and the insidious effects of
salt air cost the United States post
office department $30,000 a year for
repainting mail boxes.
Corrosion of the elements is the
chief enemy to Uncle Sam’s spic
and-span letter receivers. They must
be repainted once a year. In sea
coast towns even this vigilance fails
to keep them sightly.
Brass boxes have been Installed
in Atlantic City and a few other
coast towns, as brass is proof
against salt air corrosion. Steel
withstands the elements better than
cast iron. Prior to 1923 all U. S.
mail boxes were made of cast iron,
but the larger ones now in general
use in cities are made of steel.
Some years ago smokers maned
the mail boxes by scratching
matches against them. As most
smokers carry lighters or safety
matches this cause of defacement
has largely disappeared.
The government still has to cope
with the chronic “leaner,'' however.
Mixed Issoes in Germany.
From New York Times.
Hard upon the death of Strese
mann Sollows a National effort to
cancel his work for European peace
and to wreck the spirit of modera
tion in Germany upon which his
policies were based. In the next
two weeks the Nationalists will be
gathering the 4,000,000 votes needed
to bring their “liberty bill” to a
referendum vote of the German
people. The bill rejects the war
guilt clauses of the Versailles Treaty
and all reparations settlements
based on those clauses: in other
words, the Young plan. The Weimar
Constitution requires the approval cf
10 per cent of all qualified voters
at the last general election for the
submission of a referendum proposal
and an absolute majority of such
qualified voters for its adoption.
It is conceded that the Nationalists
have their 10 per cent In sight.
That is about the number of votes
they polled in the Reichstag election
of May, 1928, and they can count upon
addional support from the various
Fascist parties, beyond that, by
coupling rejection of the Young
plan with rejection of Germany's
sole responsibility for the war, they
have insured for themselves consid
erable support among sections of
the population otherwise sternly op
posed to their mischieous aims.
All the probabilities are that the
Nationalist bill will be beaten in the
final vote, and in the same manner
in which the Left referendum for
the expropriation of the property of
former German rulers was beaten in
1926. More than twelve and a half
millon votes were cast in favor of
submitting that proposal to the
people, but less than sixteen million
votes were castt in the referendum.
Opponents of thp measure stayed
away from the polls, from the party
alignment in the present Reichstag
it is doubtfull whether the National
ist plan can rally much more than
a third of the German electorate.
It is true, of course, that before the
bill is voted down many provocative
words will have been uttered in
Germany and caught up, to some ex
tent, aboard. Yet it is not ex
cessive optimism to sav that the
scope of this old game of reciprocal
irritation has been greatly restricted
by the labors of Stresemann and
his allied collaborators in the work
of European reconciliation.
Of the effect on domestic German
politics one can speak with less as
Ridiculous Proposal.
From Cedar Rapids Gazette.
Tlie Volstead, movement is pro
ceeding to its logical conclusion with
the proposal of Senator Sheppard to
make the buyer of illicit alcohol
equally guilty with the seller. First
came the amendment to the
Constitution outlawing alcohol for
beverage purposes. Wayne B.
Wheeler dictater the terms of the
amendment prohibiting the ‘‘manu
facture, sale or transportion of in
toxicating liquors.” Prohibition of
the the purchase of such liquors was
purposely excluded by Mr.Wheeler
for the reason that purchasers then
would be eliminated as witnesses
against the sellers.
The Volstead act was the next
step, but when it failed to prohibit
the prohibitionists clamored for the
more stringent ‘‘five and ten” law.
Just a few months have passed
since the enactment of this measure,
but there is a fresh clamor for more
law. The purchaser Is selected as
the new sacrifice. It is idle to
discuss the constitutionality of the
proposal. What’s the Constitution
among prohibitionists? They have
set out to burn the old witch, alco
hol, and they will stick at nothing to
accomplish their purpose.
Federal prisons are overcrowded at
present. State prisons are in a like
condition. The federal government
is to undertake a building program
to cost $5,000,000. Penologists are
aware that $5,000,000 is not even a
starter if the Volstead act and Jones
‘ five and ten” law were enforced.
Dr. Doran is authority for the state
ment that the dry laws are now 20
per cent effective. A total of 58,813
persons were cskivicted last year un
der 20 per cent enforcement. But
siipose 100 per cent enforcement
were in effect and every dry violator
were sentenced to prison. At the
end of two and a half years there
would be 284.065 federal prisoners.
Prison construction costs about $3,
500 a cell. Five hundred and seven
ty-nine additional federal prisons
would be required at a cost of $1.
029 227,500.
But what if the Sheonard amend
ment were adopted? Here would be
a fresh batch of criminals numbering
at least 50,000,000. At $3,500 a cell
the prison building would cost about

Q. How did the 24-hour day orig
inate? H A. C.
A. It is not definitely known Just
how the day happened to be divided
into 24 hours. At the time of the
Homeric pdems, the day was divided
into three parts, the first beginning
with sunrise and comprising that
part during which the light in
creased; the second, midday, dur
ing which the sun was thought to
stand still; and the third period dur
ing which the atmospheric warmth
increased. These divisions were later
subdivided either by Anaximander
or Anaximines. who is said to have
made the Greeks acquainted with
the use of the Babylonian chrono
meter or sundial by means of which
the natural day was divided into 12
equal spaces. The earliest sundial
of which we have knowledge was
that of the Chaldean astronomer
Berossus, who lived about 300 B. U.
Its arc was divided into 12 equal
intervals of time. At Babylon the
period from sunrise to sunset and
also the period of darkness were
each divided into 12 hours. Accord
ing to thi3 arrangement the day
hour was in the summer longer than
the night hour and in the winter
shorter. The Greeks improved upon
this system by dividing the whole
period into 12 equal hours.

From Detroit News.
An effective reminder of the
world wide vision needed now by
public opinion and statesmanship in
the United States is contributed in
an article by Isaac F. Marcosson in
the current issue of a popular
weekly. An account of the remark
able personality of Ivar Krueger,
of Sweeden, also contains the
clear story of how the Swedish
“match trust” obtained its domina
tion in the manufacture of matches.
It was done by the organization
of subsidiaries under the laws of
other countries. And it is perhaps
the largest illustration of the other
aid* of the policy of numbers of
American manufacturers now much
in controversy—their establishment
of branches or subsidiaries abroad.
Not the only factor, yet tariffs
in other lands against matches wer*
a prime cause in actuating the
Swedish match industry. As our
strongest groups, automobiles being
the chief illustration' in Detroit,
work within the tariff barriers of
other nations, the stronger foreign
ers enter this country and produce
here. We do not know of any stat
istics showing the balance between
labor gains here on account of op
erations by foreign owned plants
aM labor losses hjre on *ocpunt_of
American plants set up abroad.
Reliable government figures on the
point should be worth while.
Regardless of this balance, how
ever, it seems clear tht the course
of our home interests is not at all
an isolated one. We may think
real economy served best by con
centration of plant operations;
may know that automobiles are
made best right here in Detroit;
and yet muset see a world condition
that compels American manufact
urers to carry on part of their ac
tivities in other lands under other
flags.
