HOW MUCH ARE GIRLS IN
OUR CITY GOING TO SPEND
FOR GRADUATION CLOTHES?

The following is taken from the
June Woman's Home Companion:
THE familiar problem of the cost
of the graduating dress and its acces-
SORES is upon us with its annual in
sistence. There has been long, hard
fight that is yet far from won to bring
home the necessity for common sense.
This is because those who most
need protection are among the most
strenuous advocates of the snowy and
expensive advocates of the snowy and
expensive graduation.
"a year ago we published an iHum-
mating symposium on the subject.
Especially notable was a communica-
ton from a school teacher who frankly
maintained she would bitterly oppose
an effort to prevent her from giving
sister about to graduate the most
beautiful and costly gown that any
sacrifice could provide for her. Then
came the pathetic reason: in her own
case and that of the sister there was
no hope of marriage. The graduation
meant to them all that wedding cere-
monv means to most women-more
perhaps, for it was the one fine and
splendid reality that should be the

BolUels Get Weak
As Age Advances
The First Necessity Is To Keep The
Bowels Gently Open With
Mild Laxative Tonic.

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the
bowels that great care should be taken
to see that they act regularly. The
fact is that as age advances the stom-
ach muscles become weak and mac
tive and the liver does not store up
the juices that are necessary to
prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty OF
exercise, but this latter is irksome to
most elderly people. One thing is
certain, that a state of constipation
should always be avoided as it is dan
gerous to life and health. The best
plan is to take a mild laxative as
aften as is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty it is suggested
that cathartics, purgatives, physics
salts and pills be avoided, as they dc
but temporary good and are so harsh
as to be a shock to delicate system
A much better plan, and one thai
thousands of elderly people are fol
lowing, is to take a gentle laxative
tonic like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup, which
acts as nearly like nature as is posi-

The name of Friday street is derived
from the fact that in medieval times

nOOT ROOSEVELT
Colonel Has an Unpleasant
Experience in Chile.
IN CLASH WITH DR.. MARTINEZ

Washington Officials Are Anxiously
Awaiting Authentic Reports of tho
Controversy in Santiago, Chile, -
the Monroe Ooctrine-Former Min
lister Raises Ire of Roosevelt.
WASHINGTON - The official re
ports are being eagerly awaited here
of the clash between former President
Roosevelt and DR.. Marcial Mantinez
at Santiago, Chile. over the Monroe
doctrine.
Dr. Martinez, who was formerly
minister to this country, is reported to
have strongly dissented from the
Roosevelt view that the doctrine is
still a vital issue.
1t is said that at the conclusion of
the Roosevelt reception demonstra-
ton against the American visitor waa
made by students as he left the uni
versity.
Both Speeches Officially o. KID.
The debate attracted unusual inter
est here because both of the prepared
speeches had been carefully reviewed
by the Chilean foreign office. DR.. Mar
tineZ, it was said at the Chilean lega-
ton, was selected as spokesman Of
the Chilean government at the state
reception given the American visitor
at the University of Santiago because
of his warm friendship for the United
States.
In his address DIR. Martinez dealt
with the Monroe doctrine, character
izing it as a dead issue and arguing
that the conditions which gave rise to
its PRONUNCIATION by President Monroe
in 1923 have almost entirely disap-
peared.
RooseVeIt's Ire Aroused.
This statement is said to have
aroused the ire of Colonel Roosevelt,
who replied with some heat, holding
that the Monroe doctrine still was a
vital principle of the foreign policy of
the United States. He is said to
suggested to the Chilean diplomatist,
incidentally, that it was ill-advised on
such an occasion to inaugurate con-
troversy.
Then Colonel Roosevelt, according
to report, stated that before leaving
the United States the text of the adj
dresses he proposed to deliver in Bra
I'll, Argentina and Chile had been sub
mitted to the diplomatic representa-
tives of those nations in Washington
to avoid the inclusion of anything that
Soht 20 I, -
DR.. Mantinez's Reply.
To this DR.. Martinez is said to have
replied that his own address had been
submitted to the Chilean foreign office
three days before Colonel Roosevelt
arrival, and that as no objection had
been raised in that quarter, he could
see no reason why the discussion of
the Monroe doctrine should be avoided
as a dangerus issue.
