and not only does all her troubles come
back on her, but she thinks she is also
developing peculiar pain in her side"
Maybe the advertisement give it to
her." Birsky suggested.
"Sure it did," Zapp replied. This
here frst-to-last-the-truth advertise
ing is driving women to moving pic
lures, Birsky. Another thing Is the
way drygoods stores is acting nova
days. Former times a woman buys a
dress at a drygoods store on April End
and wears 1t up to and including July
18th, when she brings 1t back with
symptoms of a beefsteak supper, two
weddings and a chocolate nut sundae
ON the front panel, Birsky, and for the
next six months she has the time OF
her life trying to get credit check
for 1t. 1t gives her fresh interest In
things. Her eyes get bright and her
cheeks is got fresh color in them the
same like an advertisement for COM
plexion cream before the enactment OF
Section 31416, Subsection A, Of the
Penal Code in relations to False and
Misleading Advertising. What Is 1t
nowadays, Birsky? A crepe de chine
dress could have enough soup spilled
on 1t to make 1t look like MORE vc-
lour, Birsky, and when a woman re-
turns it with the pleasant expecta-
lions of never being so insulted In her
| life, Birsky, before she could even
open her mouth to say Listenr yum
derstand, the floor walker pulls a
credit check on her."
"And I suppose" Birsky commented.
"for the next few days she walks
around looking so downhearted that
whenever her lady-friends see her they

meals at their husbands and gives as
an explanation that they'd like to see
themselves worrying themselves to
death over any man."
well, I'll tell you," Zapp said, may
be the drygoods stores is getting done
on their money back guarantees,
Birsky, but that's because they are suf-
fering from the fact that people amt
acquainted with up-to-date advertising
idees. Their customers still thinks
that when drygoods store says:
If anything you buy here proves un-
satisfactory 1t will be exchanged or
your. money will be refunded
Birsky, it must be understood that
such a guarantee means:
II anything you buy here proves un-
satisfactory by the evidence OF six
uninteresting witnesses which crack

"And who would go to work and pay
money to put in paper an advertise
ment like that?" Birsky inquired.
Everybody nowadays" Zapp said.
"They dassen't do otherwise, because
what with the Federal and State pure
food laws and newspapers which is pay
Ing fellers fifty thousand dollars year
to show up advertisers so that no ad-
yertiser would take a chance on ad-
vertising, Birsky. If you want to ad-
vertise your merchandise, y'under-
stand, you've got to tell the truth or
the least that happens you is $4,000
bail on a certificate Of reasonable
doubts. So that's the way 1t goes.

"a Teller who thinks he could get

Is too foxy to believe anything they
read In the news section of a newspa-
per gets fooled very easy by advertise
ments. They could read 1t In the paper
how seals has become so scarce that IL
all the seals in existence was divided
up among the inhabitants Of the State
Of Kansas there would be only .OOO62
seals to an inhabitant. Also they could
see In a Sunday paper how the Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor gives out
an interview that the United States Is
keeping a line of battleships In Alaska
to prevent poachers from killing seals,
Birsky, but that owing to the high
price of sealskins in New York, the
poachers takes a chance on getting
shot, starved, frozen and drowned and
sometimes catches as many as twenty
eight and a half seals in a season,
understand. and yet, Birsky, when a
concern by the name Of the Paris and
San Francisco Fur Importing Company
advertises fur overcoats with Baffin
Bay Seal lining and genwine Prussian
Lamb collars at from $3.50 to $3.50
apiece, them newspaper readers figure
what does a Secretary Of Commerce
and Labor know about seals anyway"
Maybe they figure that way, and
maybe they figure that the Teller which
Is running the Paris and San Francisco
Fur Importing Company is just some
poor goose that has got ahold of line
of seal overcoats and don't know their
real value, Zapp, and never mind IL
the Teller WOULD have a wife and
family depending on him, Zapp, that's
HIS lookout. II he is fool enough to
let them seal-lined overcoats go at

more about furs than that; so they
buy an overcoat OF of him. Zapp, just
to teach him a lesson as it were"
Sometimes they also figure that the
reason why the Paris and San Fran
cisco Fur Importing Company could
sell genwine sealskins at $3.50 is that
the overcoats was stolen, Birsky,"
Zapp said. 80 they go to work and buy

never stop to consider that while II

Simple Laxative Remedy
 BeSf t0z' Constipation
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Gave Satisfaction When
 Nothing Else Would

Nearly every one, at one time or an- other, suffers from constipation, or inactive bowels, and one of the few conclusions upon which the doctors agree is that regularity of the bowels is an essential to good health.
 In the family medicine chest of most ll-Ordered households will be found one or more of the various remedies recommended for the relief of constipation. In the majority of homes today the com bintion of sim pie laxative herb with pepsin known as Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is recognized as the standard laxative Druggists everywhere report a con- stantly increasing demand for this splendid remedy which Is sold for fifty cents a bottle.
 MT. James Ash, 102 Green Street, Cumberland, Md, wrote to Dr. Cald- well that he found Dr. CaldwelTs Syrup Pepsin the most effective rem edy for constipation he had ever used and that he always keeps a bottle of 1t on hand for use when necessary.
 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is mild laxative, and does not gripe or strain, but acts gently and brings re- lief. in an easy, natural manner. It's
