in the PERSONAL of the Elgin board. One
hazarded the guess that the insurgents
were getting larger representation on
the board. but the other dealers said they
knew nothing beyond the change in the
wholesale price and that the politics of
the board had no significance for them.
The general opinion was that the larger
output of butter at the Elgin cream
cries portend a general lowering of the
price.

SENATOR BRYAN FLAYS
PENS|ON|NC DESERTERS
Opposes Strengthening by Con.
gress of Military Records
Which Are Crooked.

senator Bryan of Florida in a speech
yesterday afternoon, opposing all pending
general pension legislation, attacked the
practice of Congress in passing bills
TO amend" and correct" military rec
ords. thus pensioning deserters WHO
could not comply with the liberal pro-
visions of the general pension laws A
more appropriate title for such bills
he declared, would be "a bill to
straighten a crooked record
And So" he added, lit has come TO
pass that the record which the de-
serter in reality made crooked on his
country's battlefelds in time Of war
his country makes straight in theory in
the halls Of legislation in time of
peace. He thereby becomes a legally
constituted hero, and, incidentally, is
enabled to read his title clear to the
sacred roll Of honor in the pension
bureau. Even thereafter the great
heart OF grateful republic will be
permitted by legislation to swell with
pardOnable pride in hallowed memory
of his unequaled imaginary record
Reviews Pension Laws.
Mr.. Bryan reviewed pension legisla-
ton from the earliest days of Con-
gress, referred to the Confederate vet
Grams and declared that the amount
paid last year by the federal govern
which constituted the Confederacy is
sions to residents in the eleven states
which constituted the confederacy is
at least double the amount paid by
these states on account of state pensions
to former Confederate soldiers.
He declared that it is idle to say that
either
army need financial assistance for sup
port. He said he was in thorough ac-
cord with granting pensions based upon
meritorious service and need, and that
on principle meritorious service and
need should coexist as a prerequisite to
a PENSION.

No Reduction Here Yet.

Notwithstanding the fact that yesterday
the price OF butter was lowered by the
Elgin board from 40 cents pound to 81
cents, the retail price in Washington re-
NAMED stationary today with the ex-
cention of some dealers who had been
selling below so cents pound and who
reduced the price to ~ and 10 cents. The
smaller dealers explained that the price
had not been lowered in Washington as
nona Of the cheaper butter had yet been
received. When the price is raised by the
EIein board the retail price In Washing
ton ADVANCES automatically without wait
ing for the arrival OF the more expensive
butter, but any reduction In price has
to come by freight. 1t is declared.
A reduction was noted IN the supply

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found In the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance of
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air Of lassitude,
Is in most every case due to consti-
patton or indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
%purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
its effect, strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
a short tine these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
lions without assistance.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
oy druggists everywhere in SOC and
s1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
1t, write for a sample to Dr.. w. B.
Caldwell, 201 Washington ST., Month

bottle without any expense to you
whatever.
