We are closing out
the balance of our
clothing this week
at this stupendous
reduction. Sizes 33
to 42. Don’t wait,
only twenty - four
suits to sell and
they’ll go quickly
at this Big Reduc-
tion.
There's a very good reason why
dcc’.ors and hospitals have always
vsed liquid laxatives! You’d use a
liquid, too, if you knew how much M
better it makes you feel.
A liquid laxative can always be
taken in the right amount. You can
gradually reduce the dose. Reduced
itcsape is the secret of real and safe
reii-f from constipation.
.Just ask your own doctor about
ILL. Ask your druggist how popular
liquid laxatives have become. The
right liquid laxative gives the right
kind of help, and the right amount
of help. When the dose is repeated,
instead of more each time, you take
less. Until the bowels are moving
regularly and thoroughly without
any help at all.
People who have experienced this
comfort, never return to any form
of help that can’t be regulated! The

liquid laxative generally used is Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It con-
tains senna and cascara, and these
are natural laxatives that form no
habit — even in children. Its action
is gentle, but sure. It will relieve a
condition of biliousness or sluggish-
ness without upset. It’s the ideal
family laxative because it’s a family
doctor’s prescription, and perfectly
safe and effective for family use.
If you are seeking something that
will relieve your occasional upsets
safely and comfortably, try Syrup
Pepsin. Give regulated doses until
Nature restores regularity.

HURON, S. D., Feb. 12—On
this day when millions of Ameri-
cans are thinking of the humble
birth and towering life of Abra-
ham Lincoln, a little old lady of
this town is thinking overpower-
ingly of his tragic death.
The passing of 70 years has not
dimmed the picture of that hor-
rible moment for Mrs. Nelson Arm-
strong. As a young actress she was
backstage in Ford’s Theater the
night Booth’s murderous pistol
shots cut through the light com-
edy of the play to present a sud-
den and stark tragedy.
Mrs. Armstrong was then the
child-wife of Edwin Brink, whom
she had married at 15 shortly be-
fore the tragedy. Through her
husband she was soon playing
small parts with the troupe. She
well remembers John Wilkes
Booth, Lincoln’s assassin, as a pop-
ular and light-hearted player.
“He was nothing like his ter-
rible deed suggests,” she recalls.
“He was always ready for gaiety
when with the company, and never
struck anyone as particularly ser-
ious.”
Recalls Puzzling Remark
The play presented that fateful
night of April 14 was “Our Amer-
ican Cousin”—a fill-in while
Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer |
Night’s Dream” was being re-
hearsed for the Ford’s Theater
company was at that time special-
izing in Shakespeare.
Kitty Brink did not have a role
in “Our American Cousin,” but
l.?r husband did. Kitty was rele-
!, ;'.ed to the dressing-rooms to
h?in make up the actors.
"I recall something my husband
told me during rehearsal that
i. orning that puzzled me,” Mrs.
“ Armstrong says. “He had been
t: iking to Booth. And Booth said,
‘S omething will take place here
t > vvht that will make the name
c ' Booth live forever’.”
weren’t too excited over that, ae
he often came to Ford’s Theater |
during the war, for relaxation.
“It wag near the end of the sec-
ond—or third—act, at about 10
o’clock, when ‘things happened.’
In the dressing rooms we heard
two indistinct noises. We thought'
nothing much about it until we
heard shouts both from the stage
and from the auditorium. Realiz-
ing that the shouts were foreign
to the lines of the play, we stepped
into a little hallway.
Heard Booth Fleeing
“Just at that moment we heard
the clumping of footsteps of some-
one running through the stage
scenery, down to the rear en-
trance, out the door, and into the
alley.
“That was Booth, though of
cause we didn’t know it then.
“We rushed onto the stage. All
was wild chaos. The first thing I
saw was a number of men being
lifted up from the stage into the
president’s box.
“And further back, I saw the
picture that has never left me for
a moment. Sitting in his chair,
his great shaggy head slumped on
his chest, was Mr. Lincoln!
“Mrs. Lincoln was screaming
and crying unintelligibly. I heard
her cry once, ‘Mr. Lincoln has
been shot 1’ By this time two actors
of our company, Miss Keene and
Mr. Ferguson, had worked their
way through the panicky crowd
and come up from the rear to the
door of the box.
Audience in Stampede
“I stood on the stage, glued to
the spot, overwhelmed and terri-
fied. I could see doctors working
over Mr. Lincoln. Finally a group
of men carried the chair with the
president on it out of the theater.
“The performance was hope-
lessly risrupted, of course. Patrons
were leaving the theater in a
frenzy of excitement. No one
was quite sure what had happen-
ed, and many had no idea that
Mr. Lincoln had been shot.
“Miss Keene came back to the
stage, and it was then that I
learned that it was Booth, our fel-
low-player, who had done the
slaying.”
Mrs. Armstrong (she divorced
Brink, married Nelson Armstrong,
and is now a widow) is one of
those who believe that John
Wilkes Booth was not tfce man
who was shot wh<*n cornered in a
burning barn by pursuing troops.
Doubt* Booth Was Slain
“The man they got in that barn
was not Booth,” Mrs. Armstrong
avers. “Of course I can’t prove
it definitely one way or another,
but I, and a great npmber of oth-
ers who knew him, have always
been convinced that he got away
and died under another name many
years later.”
After the tragedy, Mrs. Brink
played in Shakespearean plays all
over the United States and Can-
ada for 15 years, following which
she retired and married Arm-
strong.
Today as a widow, two of
whose children live here, she is
alert and very much alive at 85.
And the anniversary of Lincoln’s
birth as observed today only
serves to make more vivid to this
old lady, one of the few remain-
ing eye witnesses, the terrible tab-
leau she saw 70 years ago.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (UP)
—Not all the news gets into the
running stories of day-by-day
events. Here is a behind the scenes
snapshot of capitol newsmen at
work.
It pictures the Department of
Agriculture press conference held
after announcement of the AAA
“Purge”. Almost 100 reporters,
more than double the usual num-
ber, crowded in to cross-examine
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
Wallace and AAA Administrator
Chester C. Davis.
Questions were fired so fast the
officials could not answer them.
Here is a sample of questioning:
Q. Was Tugwell aware of the
reorganization and did he approve
it?
Wallace. I don’t know whether
he approved it or not.
Q. Was it taken up with Tug-
well last December or before he
went to Florida?
t). Is that why he went to Flori-
Q. What is Tugwell’s attitude
toward it?
All three questions before Wal-
lace could catch his breath to
answer one.
Wallace (finally breaking in)
you might ask him.
Q. He isn’t here. Haven’t you
talked with him?
Wallace. I don’t know hia exact
attitude. He can answer for him-
self I explct every individual’s at-
titude is a little different.
Q. Don’t you ever consult Mr.
Tugwell any more on AAA poli-
cies?
Wallace. Just like we consult__
we pass the time of day. We are
all members of one big family
here.
Q. Just one big, happy fa
Wallace. Yes, as families
think we are an exceptii
happy family.
Q. How about Mr. Stedman (as-
sistant AAA Administrator Al-
fred D. Stedman.)
Stedman. By the way, I have a
remark to make.
Q. Wait a minute, we will get
around to you.
Q. Did Tugwell go to bat for
Mr. Frank (one of those ousted)
this time?
Wallace. No, he didn’t go to bat
this time.
Q. Your Press release wasn’t
clear and didn’t mention names,
did it?
Wallace. I think any good news-
paperman could understand the
story.
And so on for an hour or more.
When it was over even antagonis-
tically inclined newsmen praised
the talk and frankness of the of-
ficials.
