Women should
take only
liquid
laxatives
TVfORE people could feel fine, ba
1*1 fit and regular, if they would
only follow the rule of doctors and
hospitals in relieving constipation.
Never take any laxative that is
harsh in action. Or one, the dose of
which can’t be exactly measured.
Doctors know the danger if this rula
is violated. They use liquid laxatives,
and keep reducing the dose until the
bowels need no help at all.
Reduced dosage is the secret of
aiding Nature in restoring regularity.
You must use a little less laxative
each time, and that’s why it should
be a liquid like Syrup Pepsin.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, and if
it doesn’t give you absolute relief, if
it isn’t a joy and comfort in the way
it overcomes biliousness due to con-
•tipation, your money back.

A Splendid Laxattoo Prink
By EARL GODWIN
Y T TASHINQTON. — Al Smith,
\ \ / promising to “Take a walk"
yy unless things happened to suit
him and his new power-trust
allies, brings up the practical question
as to what he can do. He certainly
cannot stop the renomination of Frank-
lin 1). Roosevelt at the Philadelphia
convention of the Democratic party.
At the present W’ritlng the possibility
of a third, or conservative Democratic
party, seems remote. We do not ex-
pect Al to Join the Republicans. About
the only thing he can do, It seems to
me, Is to remain with the Liberty
league, which Is the smearing agent
of the nntl-ltoosevclt forces, working
now for the restoration of any dynasty
which will take the federal govern-
ment’s regulator off the money mar-
ket ; off the corporations; off the power
trust.
His speech, though, certainly stirred
the Roosevelt wing of the party. Many
of them were appalled at the sight of
the man whom Roosevelt supported,
nominated, befriended and defended,
nrlslng In the midst of bitter Roosevelt
foes to take their side again9t him.
• • *
SMITH HELPS REPUBLICANS
Smith’s speech was In his best vein,
orntorlcally. I am not one of his ad-
mirers and never have been, but I ap-
preciate the great appeal of his
speeches, and I have no doubt that he
made a great hit with many of his old
adherents. He helped the Republicans
solidify their growing strength in the
Industrial Northeast and East. But
can anyone who follows politics do
anything but tear the speech to shreds
as far as logic and constructive sug-
gestion are concerned?
It was not 24 hours before senators,
congressmen and editors were showing
the world that the legislative program
Smith attacked ns socialistic and de-
structive was actually the same sort
of thing he had backed and accom-
plished, in part, ns governor of New
York; and had advocated as candidate
for the Presidency In 1028. In fact,
Herbert Hoover had made practically
the same speech about Smith that
Smith Just made about Roosevelt.
One of the things that made me
smile was Smith’s crack about a “rub-
ber stamp congress.*’ Of course, when
an overwhelming majority in a legis-
lature supports a President the oppo-
sition always uses that term of de-
rision; but the minority votes solidly,
nnd when the minority grows up and
becomes a majority It would not he
much of an asset to Its voting sup-
porters at home If It did not ballot
the way the party leaders Indicated,
But there never was, In nil the world,
a man who was so much of a rubber
stamp as Al Smith. lie talks with
tears In Ids voice about his struggles
in the fish market when a boy, but
from the time he was twenty-one he
never struggled. He was handed job
after Job by New York’s Tammany
Hall because he voted in the New York
assembly Just the way Tammany told
him. Ills record of rubber stamp votes
for that corrupt New York organiza-
tion Is perfect, from Tammany’s stand
point.
When he was leader of one house of
the New York legislature lie cracked
the whip over his charges. They voted
the way he told them, and when one
or two failed to obey his raucous voice
they did not come back next term.
When he was governor he had Repub-
publican opposition In the state house,
but for the two years that he had a
Democratic majority In the state sen-
ate, he had Jimmy Walker as Tam-
many lender, and Walker came over
to the governor every Monday to take
his orders on votes. If Smith or Walk-
er had ever advised a Democratic ma-
jority 1n the New York state legisla-
ture to forget about election nnd vote
ns they pleased, they would have been
burned at the stake by Tammany In-
dians!
His charges that Roosevelt had vio-
lated his platform pledges is a charge
that will he heard of all through the
campaign. Somehow voters are prone
to believe that a violated platform
pledge, or n pledge not completely car-
ried out. Is always a cardinal sin. As
I have previously pointed out In this
column, events sometimes have made
It Impossible for platforms to he fol-
lowed In every detail. Realize that
the Democratic platform was written
in the summer of 1032. Smith soys It
was a “star of hope,” but he walked
out on It then, mad ns he could he,
nnd would have nothing to do with it
At any rate, Roosevelt came Into
ofllce March 4 of the year following,
and during the Intervening nine months
lliis country had slipped to the edge.
Banks were closing; riots were start-
ing farmers were taking the laws Into
their own hands. Men. women nnd
children were starving nnd hunting
through scraps and trash for food—
and Roosevelt acted!
Suppose he had sat there with the
hook of rules in his hands, thumbing
over the platform to see whether or
not he dared feed the people; to see
whether or not he dared take over
the banks! lie was elected ns Presl
dent of a United States which was
then on the verge of mob-revolution.
Then was the time to forget partisan
policies—and he did so, with the re-
sult that the very men whose thirty
pieces of silver brought Smith to Wash-
ington to smear Roosevelt, In 1033 be-
sieged the White House, uttering praise
for a strong man In the President’s
chair and begging him to do something
—and he did it.
* • •
SMITH’S GROUCH
Smith does not turn on Roosevelt
because he Is sincere. He started to be
a grouch on Roosevelt back In the days
when Roosevelt was governor of New
York and Smith tried to give him or-
ders. Roosevelt was Independent of
Tammany, and has always been on
the high plane of public affairs. Then,
too. Smith always believed that he
should have n second try at the Presi-
dency, regardless of the fact that he
had been snowed under In 1028—the
year the solid South went Republican
against Al Smith. There Is no doubt
that he would have been defeated
again, but Smith never forgot nnd nev-
er forgave. It was only by pulling and
tugging that they got him to come out
of his shell after Roosevelt’s nomina-
tion nnd utter a few words of seeming
friendship.
Smith once snld he advocated a good
strong Public Works policy with some-
thing like a dictator at Its head, and
If h' had any Idea of criticizing the
Ickes Public Works program, he should
be Informed that that program Is al-
most puny in contrast to what It
should be. Ickes himself has said so,
and he ought to know. It’s not his
fault; hut to do anything In this coun-
try where legal rights and property
rights are Involved means that for un-
told months the lawyers must haggle
over commas and untangle red tape
until a forward looking man goes In-
sane with the delay.

OLD DEALERS ALARMED
Old Dealers are alarmed by their
own idea that this country Is going
Socialistic or Communistic. This Is
claptrap and hokum of the worst va-
riety, so we might as well expose this
fake right here.
The Socialist party drew a little un-
der a million votes when Roosevelt
drew his tremendous majority. The i
Socialists demand private ownership
of the mines, forests, oil, power, rail- i
roads, all utilities, telephone and tele-
graph and radio, and other “basic In- i
dustrles” . . . Well, private owner- |
ship controls those fields and will for |
some time to come.
The Socialists demand ownership of 1
all grain elevators, stockyards and
packing houses; the elimination of
middlemen; long and low Interest loans
to farmers, farm land planning, and
weather Insurance provided by the gov- |
eminent. Compare them with the ad-
ministration’s farm program and you I
will see the Socialist platform Is far
different.
The Socialists demand direct elec-
tion of the President; an amendment ■
to the Constitution permitting direct
social Insurance by the government (the
New Deal social insurance and jobless '
insurance policy puts It In the hands of ■
the states with federal aid nnd mild !
regulation) . . . Some Republicans 1
and some Democrats In congress dis- 1
cuss and favor some or all of these !
measures, but the present Roosevelt 1
administration lias put forward none j
of them.
The Socialists demand much higher '
Income taxes; the taxation of govern- !
ment securities (which half of Wall
Street apparently endorses). Socialists I
want the government to own the banks. \
Instead, (he government under this i
New Deal Improves the Federal Re- 1
serve board and its control, insures
hank deposits, and regulates the sale j
of stock, but the banks are still prl- 1
vately owned.
The Socialists demanded a ten-bll- j
llon-dollnr work relief program, where
us the New Deal had Its shirt torn off
for a meager four-hilllon-dollnr pro- I
gram. The Socialists demand a 30- j
hour week, so do most labor unions. \
The Socialists demand old nge pen- ■
slons (so does Borah, so does London)
and moratoriums on tax payments. All 1
Socialists, Share-Our-Wealthers, Cough- j
Unites, etc., attack the New Deal as
too mild. To call It Socialistic or Com-
munistic Is deep Ignorance. In many
respects It Is more conservative than
Teddy Roosevelt’s program hack In
1912.
That disposes of the trend to So-
cialism. As for Communism, we have
about ns much chance at going to the
Soviets as we have of becoming Chi-
nese.
CHIPS OF POLITICS
Republicans, trying for the Big Job,
piny different tunes. Robert Moses,
New York Republican leader, advises
his party to discard all candidates and
pick new starters. Ills published de-
scription of a winner fits only himself
or Al Smith, now a G. O. P. hero in
New York. Frank Knox, apostle of
Business Before Humanity, fights
Borah as hard as he fights Roosevelt.
Alf M. London, Kansas governor,
broadcasts that there Is much good in
the New Deal—why not admit It? Gov-
ernor London is building a Republican
platform hut using Roosevelt planks.
Georgia’s anti-Roosevelt Democratic
governor Talmadge promised to arouse
Georgia to a pitch where It would
throw Roosevelt out of the window.
Result : after six months of ballyhoo
the Talmadge convention consisted of
2.4(H) political castoffs Including strays
from the Huey Long territory, with a |
mob of curiosity seekers of the sort |
that will follow any band with a loud i
enough drum nnd n crazy drum major. |
Filth purveyors in the Talmadge group
sickened Georgia. Twenty-four hun-
dred ha^-beens and half casts evidently
cannot affect Georgia, so the Liberty
league and other groups supporting
Talmadge will now withdraw. When
the cash goes the Georgia move ngulnst
Roosevelt collapses.

Comparative Gas Mileage
Those who would drive at an ex-
cessive rate of speed must expect to
pay for the privilege. Judging from
tests conducted by the American Au-
tomobile issoclation. Different makes
of cars were tested at various speeds,
and the ratio of gas and oil consump-
tloa speed was found to be about the
some. An automobile which goes 18
miles on a gallon of gasoline at 30
miles per hour will go but 12 at 00
and 8 at 80. Oil consumption Is sev-
en times greater at 55 miles per hour
than at 30.—Pathfinder Magazine.
