Indianapolis. Ind.-During the Sec
ond week Of October. James Whitcomb
Riley. the beloved Hoosier poet, will
be the center Of the greatest ovation
ever tenderedan American writer, Octo.
Der Z. is the poets birthday. but owing
to the fact that the celebration in his
honor will be Of such proportions that
1t will be impossible to confine It to
one day. 1t has been decided to extend
It over a period Of six days, beginning
Monday. October 4 and ending Satur.
day. October IL. Indianapolis, Mr..
Riley's home town, has taken the lead
In this event, but the movement has
spread like wildfire and 1t is doubtful
whether there is city or town In the
United States which will not have one
or more events scheduled In honor OF
the poet who through the medium Of
his vcrces has struck q responsive
chord In every breast and has sue.
cecded In bringing poetry home to tho
people.
Riley programs have long been pop
ular with literary clubs and during
Riley week these programs will take
on an added interest. Mr.. Riley is
widely known for his love Of children.
Like his great predecessor, Longfel.
low. he has been able to fathom the
beauties Of the child nature better
than most men, and many Of his best
poems have been written for, or about,
children. For this reason "Riley
Week" will be generally observed in
schools with special exercises.
Mr.. Riley is now enjoying excellent
health. The paralysis which manifest.
ed itself In his right arm little more
than year ago is rapidly disappear.
Ing and he says he feels as we'll as
ever he did in his life. Every day he
takes a long ride about indianapolis
and the surrounding country in his
big touring car and he is known as an
enthusiastic motorist. He Is always
happy and Is usually surrounded by a
group Of close friends.
There Is no more popular man in In.
dianapolis than James Whitcomb RI.
ley, and this popularity does not come
merely from the fact that he is a
world figure. He was popular long be.
iore he was famous and when In his
presence one forgets tho fact that he

NO CASCARET USER

A 1O.cent box will keep your liver

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-

foul breath-always trace them to
torpid liver, delayed fermenting food
In the bowels or sour, gassy stom-
ach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the
intestines, instead of being cast out
Of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue, 1t causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing.
sickening headache.
Salts, cathartic pills, oil and pur-
gauve waters force passageway
for a day or two-yes-but they
don't take the poisons out and have
no effect upon the liver or stomach.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the
sour, undigested and fermenting food
and foul gases, take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out of the
system all the decomposed waste
matter and poisons in the intestines
and bowels.
