Consumption Is Necessary.

Wichita, Kan, May 21.-Monopoly
remains the first economic problem
before American democracy. Victor
Murdoch, member of the federal trade
commission, told the graduating class
OF Paramount college in delivering the
commencement address here today.
The nation as a whole must meet
monopoly as an economic problem
as the citizen must meet it in his

some of that confusion, it is possible
to divide the worlds activities into

three divisions merge one into the

HARSH CATHART|CS
 ARE HARMFUL
SECURE RELIEF PLEASANTLY

Constipation results from the in- ability of the intestines to eliminate waste matter. Harsh cathartics and drugs of metallic origin force action: but they do rot correct the cause of constipation.
 Early settlers treated constipation with natural laXatives. An extract was made from herbs, roots, barks and leaves with laxative qualities. Dr. True's Elixir, the True Family Laxative, is compound of extracts from natural plants-a pure. mild, pleasant and effective old-fashioned, home made laxative that for Il years has been a favorite. Its regular use relieves constipation and fortifles the body against more serious illnesses. You are safe with Dr. True's Elixir. 40c-60c-S12

STRAIGHT FACED SCALES
THAT ARE CROOKED.

How would you like to buy meat at
the present price over a straight faced
spring scale where, if the Indicator
moved the thirty-second part of an
inch, it would mean a pound?
This is the type of scale that one
of tie fieldmen in the Weights and
Measures Department found being
used on a meat wagon and which is
now in the collection of contiscated
scales of that department.
A re-weight check on meat weighed
over this scale resulted in the discov-
cry that a package of meat sold as
weighing four pounds weighed two
pounds and fourteen ounces. and that
piece of meat sold as weighing
twenty pounds weighed sixteen
pounds and fourteen ounces.
If you have an appetite for chicken
and live in another section of the
state you would have had the oppor .
tunty to buy spring chickens at for
ty-five cents per pound over another
type of straight faced spring scales
where each graduation represented
five pounds when the indicator moved
one-eighth of an inch.
The graduations on these two seal
es are the usual ounce spacing and
accuracy could rot be obtained over
scales of this type, but the two buck
