BEING PICKED
Hoover Expects Mc-
Nab to Name Him
In Kansas City
Washington May ia.—<jpv~ah ;
the nice things that can be said about j
a presidential candidate usually are I
summed up in the nominaCng speech-
es at the national conventions and
one of the problems of the various
aspirants for the presidency is to-de- i
tcrmine who should propose their1
names to the delegates at Kansas j
City and Houston next month.
Some candidates have made a de- J
cision others have not. It is a cer-
tainty however that the honors will
fall to members of the home state 1
delegations. That is a custom rare-
ly if ever disregarded.
Of the republicans Hoover looks
to John McNab a San F'ranci SCO j
lawyer to place him in nomination
e.lthough for personal reasons Mc-
Nab may stand aside for some other
member of the California delegation.
Lowden has not shown his hand.
The convention will be called on to
name Curtis by the massive “Poly”
Tincher once a picturesque member
of congress from Kansas. To Will
Wood the veteran representative
from Indiana probably will fall the
honor of proposing Watson. Who will
eulogize other candidates including
several “favorite sons” has not been
decided.
As to the democrats there is some
talk that John W. Davis party stand-
ard bearer in 1924 and this year a
delegate at large to the Houston con-
vention from New York might pre- i
<ent Smith’s name. “Jimmie' Walker
New York's dapper mayor also has
been mentioned but indications now
are that Franklin D. Roosevelt dem-
ocratic vice presidential nominee in
1920 will be the Smith’s spokesman.
He placed him in nomination at the j
historic Madison Square Garden con-
vention four years ago.

Old Folks Say Doctor
Caldwell was Right
The basis of treating sickness has
not changed wince Dr. Caldwell left
Medical College in 1875 nor since
ne placed on the market the laxa-
tive prescription he had used in his
practice known to druggists and
the public since 18U2 as Dr. Cald-
well's Syrup Pepsin.
Then the treatment of constipa-
tion. biliousness headaches mental
depression indigestion sour stom-
ach and other indispositions that re-
sult from constipation was entirely
by means of simple vegetable laxa-
tives. herbs and roots. These are
still the basis of Dr. Caldwell’s Syr-
up Pepsin which is a combination
of senna and other mild laxative
herbs with pepsin.
The simpler tiie remedy for consti-
pation the safer for the child and for
you. and the better for the general
health of all. And as you can get
results in a mild and safe way by
sising Dr.'Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
Why take chances with strong drugs?
A Indtle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin will last a family several
months and all can use it. It is
good for the baby because pleasant
to tbe taste gentle in action and
free from narcotics. In the proper
dose given in the directions it is
equally effective at all ages. Klderlv
people will find it especially ideal.

AT AGE 63
All drug stores have the generous
bottles.
We would lie glad to have you
prove at our expense how much Dr.
t'aldwell’s Syrup Pepsin can mesn
to you and yours. Just write
“Syrup Pepsin.” Monticello. Illinois
and we will send vou prepaid a

CITY PLAN TO
BE 0.0 SOON
| IN SAN BENITO
Commission Expected
To Take Action In
Meeting To Be Held
In Near Future
SAN' BEN’ITO May 18.—San Beni-
to’s city plan project is expected to
be definitely launched at a special
meeting of the city commission F»i-
day or Saturday of this week ac-
cording to Mayor J. Scott Brown
The meeting of the city commis-
sion which was scheduled for Wed-
nesday night was postponed on ac-
count of the joint meeting of 4h*
Rotary-Lions and Kiwanis du is in
San Benito that night.
Little opposition to the city plan
is expected since practically all .the
members of the city commission.
and member* of the chamber of
directors went on record at the
meeting Monday night in favor of it.
The San Benito Realty Board has
also given its endorsement and was
represented at the Monday aignt
meeting by several members of the
board.
The city plan is to include such
city projects as a municipal audito-
rium and city hall municipal hos-
! pita! golf course parks play-
grounds driveways beautification
zoning sanitation and other such
improvements. It will call for de-
velopment and building in San Be
nito along regulated lines.
Members of the city commission
and the chamber of commerce ex-
plained that adoption of the • city
Ilian dots not necessarily mean thut
all these projects will be carried out
at once.
“It means” said one member
“that San Benito will find out what
is needed in the way of develop-
ment projects municipal improve-
ments etc* and that the city will
work to get these things.”
The city has entered into a tenta-
tive contract with the firm of Hare
& Har« of Kansas City nattonal'y
known city plan engineers for the
city plan survey here at a cost of
$2500 and a final contract with this
concern is expected to be made c.t
the next meeting of the commission.
