from tngland Mr. Johnson will
go to India before coming back to

the ultimate triumnh of the drys.
I "A great change in fading- toward
I 'he liquor question ,has become cvi
i dent in Europe within the last year,"
lie asserted. Lloyd ueorge tola a
friend of minf that if the United
States stuck by prohibition, England
would be dry in 10 years. The Eng
lish are interested in the economic,
rather than the moral phase of the
question.
"There are 250 prohibition socie
ties in India. When self-govennment
provided by Britain becomes effec
tive next year I expect to see India
go into the dry column."
Mr. Johnson would not take a
stand as between Harding and Cox.
"Neither is wholly good, nor whol
ly bad," he stated. "We like Cox's
tecord for law enforcement. On the
other hand, whenever Harding has
had an opportunity to vote on the
question he lias voted right. That
is his tecord on the prohibition
amendment and the Volstead law.
Then he spoiled his vote by explain

THE depressing heat makes

follows indigestion.
It is well to know that there is a rem

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and you
can find it in any drug store. It is a
combinationof simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that acts on the digestive organs
and soon rids the bowels of its accumu
lation. Take a spoonful of Syrup Pepsin
at night and the congestion, headache
and feverishness will be gone in the
morning. You wilt then stand the heat
with comfort.
There are thousands of women in this
country who do not use anything else in
these emergencies but Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. Miss Bart, of 1045 Wat
