House Probsrs Ask Gary
About Cut in Prices.

Washington, June l. When the
house committee which is investigat

is testifying before them. was asked
to tell about the meeting in New York
when the allied companies began the
war on the Republic Iron and Steel
company, which, 1t is declared, was
begun because John w. Gates gave
the evidence he did before the com,
mittee last week.
Representative Stanley, chairman OF
the committee, refused to make ans
comment on the war In steel prices
and the alleged effort to crush .Ioh'

position and therefore could not tafR
Other members of the committee also
were reticent. But 1t was learned thai

Nobody here doubts that back of the
Investigation of steel there Is a wei
defined purpose to force the govern

law. For this reason any disclosures
as to the w~aylaying of competitors

much emphasis on methods and OBJ

lack of questioning along these lines
on the part of Chairman Stanley.

A Few 'Cascarets'
Cure Constipation
Pleasant, gentle, though the most
effective remedy In the world
for sluggish bowels or a
lazy liver.

In the old days physic was dread
ful-calomel, castor oil, salts or
cathartics. And they were worse
than they seemed, for their irritated
the stomach and bowels. They act
ed much as pepper acts in the nos
trils. They flooded the bowels with
fluids. Bat those fluids were diges-
tive juices. And a waste today
means a lack tomorrow. You Sc
cured relief; but you were actually
worse OF than without it.
It's different with Cascarets,
Their effect Is the same as that OF
laxative foods, or Of exercise. They
stimulate the bowels to natural
action. No gripping They act as q
bowel tonic.
The old way. too. was to take
large doses Of physic. People wait
ed until the bowels were clogged
The new way is to take one Cascare'
when you need it. Carry the box II

plan 10 to keep ut your best. Ths
