me" because he had Disseminated
against the organization.

Grenada, where citizens had ex-
pressed alarm at nearby activity Of

When the Ball rent act was declared
void and of no effect by the United

ending of the emergency which caused
its passage. the whole act went out.
and no part was saved, it is contended
in a brief filed in the Court of APP

quires hotel proprietors TO keep their

for an alleged violation OF that por-
ton of the act We're dismissed in Po-

Counsel for Mckee said that Con.
gress made several attempts to pass
separate act requiring the posting of
hotel rates, but all those attempts
were futile. From this, according to

not the intention of Congress to save

DR.. Caldwell's 3 Rules
Keep You Healthy

DR.. Caldwell watched the results
OF constipation for AZ years, and be-
lieved that no matter how careful
people are of their health, diet and
exercise, constipation will occur from
time to time regardless of how much
one tries to avoid it. OF next i'm
portance, then, is how to treat it
when it comes. DR.. Caldwell always
was i'll favor of getting as close to
nature as possible, hence his remedy
for constipation, known as DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. is a mild vege-
table compound. 1t can not harm
the most delicate system and is not a
habit-forming preparation. Syrup
Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, and
youngsters love it. 1t does not gripe
Thousands of mothers have written
us to that effect.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for
human beings to put into their sys-
terms. In practice of AZ years he
never saw any reason for their use
when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin
will empty the bowels just as
promptly, more cleanly and gently,
without gripping and harm to the
system.
Keep free from constipation 1t
robs your strength, hardens your
arteries and brings on premature old
age. Do not let day go by without
bowel movement. Do not sit and
hope, but go to a druggist and get
one of the generous bottles of DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Take the
proper dose that night and by morn
ing you will feel like different per-
son. Use Syrup Pepsin for your

Color Interpretation in Styles


Lightweight woolens for frocks are
in the foreground of the autumn
mode. An interesting entrant into
the realm of smart fabrics is wool
crepe. Wool georgette is also a popu-
lar theme with the couture of Paris.
Both of these fabrics give excellent
service, and possess delightful wear
ing qualities for the schoolgirl.
Among woolens stressed for the maxi
ing of the unitarian dress, one sees
considerable navy reps. It shows up
handsomely stitched with red. One
gets satisfaction out of its excellent
wearing qualities as well as delight,
in that it does not retain dust and
lint.
Kasha is another favorite cloth, be-
ing especially popular in beige and
brown shades. Novelty stripes are
prominently featured in kasha.
Smart daytime ensembles use kasha
for the dress, also for the lining of
a matching velveteen coat.
Higil-cnlored imported fabrics shed
glory upon the daytime mode. For
the three-piece ensemble they are ad-
vantageously used in the making of
the blouse, the skirt and jacket being
fashioned of a blended solid coloring.

Riddles Bedtime Story
BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER

Ada was six and half years old
She had dark hair and gray eyes, and
her arms and legs and mouth and nose
and ears were much like those Of her
friends if you were trying to describe
them, though Ada really didn't look
much like any one.
Nothing had ever happened in Ada's
life that was interesting to other peo-
pie. That, seemed too bad, for so
much had happened in Ada's life that
was extremely interesting to herself.
There were all the games she liked
to play, and the people she loved see
ing and all the places she enjoyed Wis
fling, and around all of these there
were most delightful happenings.
But alas, only to herself.
Sometimes she thought of something
she might do that would make others
notice her; for example, she thought
of fainting away.
That would certainly make people
pay attention to her. She had heard
that if you put wet blotting paper in
your shoes you would faint away.
She tried it once. But she hadn't
tainted
She had only felt uncomfortable
with the wet crumbIing plotting paper
next to the soles of her stockinged
feet.
And when her mother had discov-
cred her wet stockings she had mere
ly been punished and there was no
fun in that.
1t was a pity the way families had
of always discovering wet feet.
Now, who in the world would think
Of discovering wet feet when the
shoes weren't wet, and when the wet
ness wasn't in plain sight? And yet
they could.
1t was certainly pity.
So she thought she would have to
go off somewhere and have very won
derful adventures. The more she
thought about it the more she liked
the idea.
She began thinking of those who
would like adventures, too.

Timely Hints

Vegetables canned are an "ounce of
prevention" against monotonous win
ter meals.
A good bread pudding is better and
more nutritious than many higher
priced desserts.
Fresh pineapple and STRAWBERRIES
make as good beginning to break
fast as an end to a dinner.
1t isn't much more trouble to install
a pump in the kitchen than in the
back yard, but it means miles less
walking in the course of a year.
Substitute whole wheat flour for
half of the white flour the next time
you make biscuits and get new flavor
that is as delicious as it is wholesome.
