I Discover Source of Counterfeit Money Toledo (Ohio) police guard equipment in a plant disguised ns a lithograph establishment but in reality a counterfeiting plant. Federal agents raided the plant on charges that hundreds of thousands of counterfeit SI and $5 notes were printed there. The agents said that they had never found a more elaborate counterfeiting plant or more expert duplication of treasury notes. Wrecked Freighter Pounded by Giant Rollers Capt.

Whittington, wife of the representative from Missis sippi, has been elected president of the Congressional club, an organiza tion exclusively for wives of sen ators and representatives. BRISBANE] THIS WEEK Idle A ores, tile Men The Townsend Plan Mrs. Roosevelt's Kntci prise Another Slave of Man Ten million Idle men ami more in [lie United States Ten million idle acres and more on either side of tills railroad running along the Atlantic coast from southern Flor ida to New York. Two of the acres. Intensively cultivated, would feed ! a family. Texas alone, under liiten sive cultivation, could feed the en tire population of the earth as it exists now, and ell underneath Texas would run all the automo biles. There Is an empire for you, in one single state. And we talk about “over-popu lation” with so much land not used, and none of it used with full in telligence. The Townsend plan, $200 a month to everybody sixty jears of age. Is solemnly discussed by con grew, which ought to be passing a sound, reasonable old age pension now. The Townsend plan Is an Interest ing plan In many ways. Ily taxa tion on every transaction, on pro ducer, Jobber, wholesaler, retailer, manufacturer, buyer. It would prac tically absorb all available money to turn It over to deserving, or otherwise, persons, aged sixty. It would soon become necessary for some other Townsend to organize a $200-a month plan for all paupers. There would soon be twice ns many pauper8 ns there are people sixty years old. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt Is meanly criticized, because, having Interested herself In providing bet ter homes for poor people, It ap pears that the undertaking may In volve some slight financial loss, trifling in United States finance. Mrs. Roosevelt caused families to be moved from miserable hovels into comfortable homes. A woman with children, living last year In two rooms without windows, with nothing but raw car rots for her Christmas dinner, told Mrs. Roosevelt that she did not dare tell her children it was Christ mas day. On this Christmas day, when Mrs. Roosevelt went to see her, the mother, with a new born baby, and her children, all happy, were living in a decent homestead, with mod ern Improvements, Including a cel lar full of canned goods. If that did cost a little money, It was money well spent. Other ladles and gentlemen who have spent money for the United States government have not done so well. A steel gate, 12 feet thick, weigh ing 3,000,000 pounds, was closed one day recently and the Colorado river, Its water and power, defi nitely harnessed, made slaves of man. The stream that had wandered as It pleased for millions of years, through the magnificent mile-deep canyon of the Colorado, through Boulder Canyon and Black Canyon, was now tied fast In Black Canyon. “The Boulder Dam” is a reality. Hereafter the Colorado shall flow as man shall order, lighting cities, irrigating deserts, supplying pow er far awa.v. Chicago reports the latest “Amer ican type” murder. Thomas E. Ma loy, veteran head of Chicago’s Mo tion Picture Operators’ union, was killed In the usual way, ns he sat at the wheel of Ills automobile. The government says Mr. Maloy’s career as a “union labor leader" was profitable, lie had been indict ed anil released on hall on n charge of failure to report three hundred and fifty thousand dollars’ Income before the assassin’s “slugs" cah celed that and other accusations. If the leader of a motion picture union got that Income you won der how and from whom he got It, also what other motion picture op erators who got no such sum think about It. It was time for somebody to say what Mr. Hlchbarg says now. that he “does not propose to put the Interest of the unions above loyalty to his government.’’ It Is a friendly act to remind union labor again that If it wants to know what happens when sep arate organizations claim the right to run the country they should study conditions In Italy. There are no Italian union loaders collecting mil lions a year In dues. Former lead era are working with pick and shove], or tractor, or lathe, accord ing to their mechanical ability. Kenneth Neu, killer of two men, hanged In New Orleans, entertainer and singer by profession, sang gaily the day before his hanging, sang In the morning before going to the gallows, said he would sing all the way to the scaffold, “Love In Bloom," and “When the Trumpet Sounds.” But when he saw the hangman and the noose he topped singing and only did a feeble tap dance on the scaffold. ©.

Cameron, director of the Institute of Parasitology at MacDonald Agricultural college. Ste. Anne de Bellevue, Quebec, nt a meeting of the Itoynl Empire society of Montit'ul, recently reports the Canadian Press. Britain probably owes her vast empire to tlie rat flea. Doctor Cameron declared, drawing attention to the black plague of the Middle ages—a plague which, he said, carried olT half the population of Eu rope. “This caused the collapse of the agricultural system in England." he explained, “and was directly re sponsible for the development of sheep fanning on a large scale. This made wool and broadcloth England's staple product and led to the neces sity for finding of foreign mnrkefs and the founding of the great trading companies of that era. This subse quently led to the overseas trade. Plague Is a disease of rodents—espe cially of rats—which Is transmitted to man hy the rat (lea.

The “liquid test” ... it ENDS bowel worries for many people This is a test that tells you whether the system needs a cathartic change. If you have constant sluggish spells or bilious attacks, and laxatives seem to make things worse, it would be wise to try this: Stop all use of any laxative that does not encourage variation from a “fixed dose” (which may be entirely too large a dose for your individual need). Use instead, a liquid laxative that you can measure and regulate as to dose. As necessary to repeat, take smaller doses, less and less often, until the bowels are moving without any help at all. Doctors use liquid laxatives, and a properly prepared liquid laxative, containing natural laxative agents like senna and cascara is a joy and a comfort: a real help in establishing regularity. Ask your doctor about tins! (Doctors use liquid laxatives.) You can get Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, whirh is a most dependable liquid laxative, at any drug store.
