Treasury building for an additional
force which has been detailed from the
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing for
duty IN the Office OF the Treasurer. This
force consists Of thirty or more persons.
and to make room for such a number
required much calculation and consider
able moving OF certain divisions in other
bureaus. Among the bureaus which
have been affected by the changes Of
location are the Internal Revenue,
Auditor for the Interior. Comptroller OF
tie Currency and the Division OF Loans
and Issue. It IS expected the present
arrangements are only temporary and
that there VIII be further moving and
changes of locations after July I.

Don't Purge the
BoWels-Do as Nature Does

Nature gets her lsxatives from food.
If you ate plenty of fruit, coarse food
and green vegetables, you would
get laxative enough.
But you eat fine food. and too much of
It. And you exercise too little.
So it is vital that you help the bowels
IN another way.
But don't use salts or pill cathartics.
Never employ harsh Physic
Nature does all things gently. Give
her gentle help.
Csscarets are vegetable. They have
just the same effect as laxative
food
They never grippe, 50 you know they
don't irritate
They act in Natures way Yet they
are Just as effective as violence.
