Then, the treatment of constipar

depression, Indigestion. sour ston-
ach and other indispositions that TO-
suit from constipation was entirely
by means or simple vegetable laxa-
tives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis Of DR.. Caldwells Syr-
up Pepsin, which IL a combination
of SIENNA and other mild laxative
herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for consti-
patton, the safer for the child and for
you, and the better for the general
health OF all. And as you a get

SOVIET GOLD
MU.S.BANNED
Treasury Refuses As
say of Bars Sent
Here For Trade

WASHINGTON, Mar. 7.-P-Five
million dollars in gold which the
Soviet government shipped to this
country February Fl to help promote
trade lay under q treasury ban today
in two New York banks.
On the advice Of the department Of
justice, the treasury held that the
gold bars could not be accepted for
assaying without violating the en-
barge against Russian gold importa-
fions placed in effect in 1921 or
unless the two banks guaranteed
title to il. The banks had offered
the gold TO the mint for purchase
merely as agents of the Soviet bank
Of Moscow and not as owners
While officials here are uniform
ed as to the ultimate disposition to
be made Of the metal, now held in
the vaults Of the Cnuse National
bank and the equitable Trust COM
pany, New York c~oasignees, there
are believed 20 be only two courses

withdrawal OF the gold or let II lie
idle in the vaults.
It is considered more likely that
the first step viii be taken since
the gold, now valueless, is causing q
loss to the Soviet Of about 500 q
day in interest. This now amounts
to nor than $4,000.

What Doctors Think
of the
Laxative Habit

In all history, no Indian was ever
known to have constipation. Nor need
YOU. He chewed the bark Of q tree
called ascara. Today. we have the
candy cascaret.
Cascarizing the bowels never forms
q laxative habit. If already formed,
an OCCASIONAL cascaret will usully
break the habit. For cascara
strengthens the muscular walls OF
the bowels, and their need Of any aid
at all grows constantly less. What
other cathartic has this character
istic? The writer knows Of none.
An evacuation brought gently
about by cascsra will, nine times in
ten, be followed by full ~functioning
Of the bowels on the morrow-and
for days after. For there Is no RE-
ACTION as with sicksning salts, or
any Of the man-made purgatives that
go through ones system like a bullet.
Physicians tell rs cascara is the
ideal laxative-and the tongue tells
Us candy c~ascarets are its ideal form.

EGYPTIAN Law
Tres BRITAIN
Note Handed to Ruler
Described as Grave
By Newspapers

CAIRO, Egypt. Mar. 7.-Ea-Brit-
ish objections 10 recent Egyptian
legislation which ,it was felt would
weaken authority In dealing with the
maintenance Of public order and the
protection Of life and property
throughout Egypt are reported to
have been expressed in a note handed
by Lord Lloyd. British high commits
sioner. Co Sarwat Fasha, who re-
signed Sunday as premier.
Newspapers, describing the note as
grave" say that II points out that
recent legislation, although accepted
BY the Egyptian executive weakens
his authority in maintaining order.
The British government further in
sisted. the newspapers say, upon the
maintenance Of its control Of the
Egyptian army as well as the posi-
ton Of British officers employed i'm

The cabinet had met yesterday 10
consider the note but decided that
while Sarwat's resignation was IN
the hands Of King Fuad. the present
ministry could not deal with the
situation.

By HAZEL CANNING

NEW YORK, Mar. E.--If women
used the same shopping principles
in hunting a husband that they use
IN hunting a bargain, there would be
happier homes, fewer divorces and
better babies.
So says Mrs. Bertrand Russell,
wife OF Bertrand Russell. English
philosopher. Mrs. Russell has been
visiting the United States, talking
and writing about "The Right TO be
Happy" Mrs. Russell says:
Enemies beset women's happiness
from the cradle to their old lady's
rocking chair by the fireside. The
first enemy to a worsn's happiness,
is her own mother. Mothers always
have taught their daughters that
they must be 'ladylike.' When court
ing time came, the perfect lady
must sit back and wait till the fairy
prince or young John came with his
proposal and his box of candy.
Go Court the Man
"Preposterous," says Mrs. Russell.
when we at last think straight on
this subject, we will see that in many
courtships. the woman should 20
C0uIllnk Sonus VIII y ? OF cigars
and a package of matches. II she
is the stronger nature: if she makes
more money; if she feels an impell-
ing urge to marry John and become
the mother Of his children-then she
is not an honest woman If she
doesn't buy the cigars and 90 tell
him she wishes to make him her
own.
Another idea that is the enemy
Of woman's happiness is this old idea
that she is Of the weaker sex This
isn't true. Women are stronger than
men in many ways, as men are
stronger than women in others. II
is all relative. But how can a man
claim truly that woman is the weak
er sex when she bears rne children,
stands twenty years Of painstaking
and loving care in their rearing and
then, often, starts over again TO rear
her grandchildren
"But the worst enemy Of woman's
happiness-and the worst enemy of
mans happiness, as well, are all the
old inhibitions bred into all OF us
at school and ut our mothers knees.
