Chronic Constipation

Perhaps you have never thought Of
it, but this disorder is due to lack of
moisture in the residual matter of the
food. IL you will drink an abundance
of water, eat raw fruits and take lots
of outdoor exercise, you may be able
eventually to overcome it entirely.
In the meantime use the most mild
and gentle laxatives. Strong and
harsh cathartics take too much water
out of the system and make bad
matter worse. Chamberlain's Tablets
are easy and pleasant to take, and
most agreeable in effect. Give them

REPUBLICANS Defer
OVERMAN ACT CAUCUS
Democrats to Get Opportunity to
Explain Measure.

Denial was made yesterday by
Senator Gallinger, the Republican
leader. that Republicans would
confer today on some plan to de-
feat the Overman bill. which would
give the President extreme powers
to coordinate governmental agen-
cies.
The Republicans have decided to
wait and allow administration
Democrats to explain the bill.
The Judiciary Committee will
consider the measure Monday.
Strong opposition is developing,
and undoubtedly efforts will be
made to prevent it reaching the
Senate floor.
The chief objection Is that il
the bill is made a law. Congress
will become merely rubber
stamp" Some legislative restraint
upon the President must be put into
the bill. it is asserted.
