Cleans So Thoroughly, Even

All the trick laxatives in the world

the properties of cdScGrd.
A hundred different drugs will

Cascara purifies the system clear
through. Cleanses even the pores of
your skin. Renders perspiration as
inoffensive as so much dew!
Your grandparents took salts"
and slowly washed away the mucous
membrane with the waste! Mineral
oils are better, but they leave the
coating that your blood must then
carry off through the pores But
when you cascariEe the system, you
get rid of all the poisons by normal
muscular action of the bot1els.
Don't get in the habit Of taking
medicine for constipation-or even
for administration. If you have the
habit, stop it. A candy cascaret is
q delightful form in which to take
cascara; children love them and the
taste tempts most grown-ups to take
''more." And what a comfort TO

PAYS
WITH LOANS

BERLIN, Oct. 13.-Although the
American State Department has
approved the Prussian loan of $50.
100000, which probably will be
issued next week, German financial
experts today expressed belief that
the trouble which accompanied the
loan negotiations indicate that seri-
Gus difficulties will arise later over
Dawes plan payments.
Dawes plan payments are ap.
preaching the peak OF 1850, 000, 900
gold marks annually. which will be-
come payable September, 1928. 1t
is generally believed that, unless
new economic calamities arise, Ger
many will be able to pay. although
up to the present time Dawes plan
payments have come out of Ger
many's foreign loans.
Germany's foreign trade balance
has long shown a deficit and the
deficit in Germany's balance of pay
ments since the currency was sta
bilized in 1923 probably will exceed
$4,000, OOO,O by the end of this
year.
To date Germany has paid out
under the Dawes plan 1920, 900, 900
gold marks in foreign loans.
