Chronic Constipation

There are people Who never have a

produced by cathartic. Most of
them have brought that condition on
themselves by the use of mineral wa

too much water out of he system and
aggravate the disease they are meant
to relieve. A mild laxative tonic like
Chamberlain's Tablets affords gen.

hardly realize has been produced by

likely to be followed by constipation.

"While the federal reserve board has been preach

to note that there has been defaton in the saa-

1916, the salaries paid all officers of one reserve
bank aggregated $93,OOO while the amount paid for

over $400,000 The total payroll of the federal re-

ADMINISTRATION made an attempt
to put the farmers to bed with

The Norris bill provided for
the organization of a new gov

appropriation of $1O0,O00,00O

dollars in bonds guaranteed by
the government. This new cor
poration was to buy the sur
plus agricultural products this
year and sellCthem to Europe.
There is no doubt but that
the Norris bill would have
gone a long way to relieve the
disastrous conditions prevail
ing relative to American agri-
culture. The senate farmer

bill and it looked as though it
would easily fpass.

Said he: "The federal reserve board has begun to
def1ate the currency. We in for another period
of dehation and destruction similar to that which
succeeded the Civil war and the retirement of the

Continuing Mr. Barker said: 81 have this day ad-

In substantiation of Mr.. Barker's views, quote

says:
""What then are the common denominators which

The administration proposed,
instead Of the government cor
poration buying and pooling
the surplus crops for export
and selling them to foreign
buyers, that the War Finance
corporation simply provide for
loaning money to banks which
in turn will loan it on farmer
paper. Thus the banks would
get their rakeoff and the exist
ing exporting machinery, with
its profits and commissions,
would not be disturbed.
Senator Norris denounced
the Harding plan as a betrayal
of the farmers. Farmer rep
