Old Folks Say Doctor
Caldwell was Right

The basis OF treating sickness has
not changed since DIR. Caldwell left
Medical College in 1875, nor since
be placed on the market the laxa-
tive prescription he had used in his
practice, known to druggists and
the public since 1892, as DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin.
Then. the treatment of constipa-
ton, biliousness. headaches, mental
depression. indigestion, sour stom-
ach and other indispositions that re-
suit from constipation was entirely
by means of simple vegetable laxa-
tives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis Of DIR. Caldwell's Syr-
up Pepsin, which is 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 can get
results in a mild and safe way by
using DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
why take chances with strong drugs?
A bottle of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin will last a family several
months, and all can use it. It Is
good for the baby because pleasant
to the taste, gentle in action, and
free from narcotics. In the proper
dose. given in the directions it is
equally effective at all ages. Elderly
people will find it especially ideal.

POLITICIANS AIDING THE
BOOTLEGGERS IN SOUTH
By ART SHIELDS
Federated Press),

ASHEVILLE, N. C. (FP). Sept. s..
Nowhere in the United States, prob
ably, has the prohibition issue
brought more bunk into the political
campaign than in the southern
states.
Rival politicians assume that the
south is pretty dry today, where in
fact it is wet. Bishop Cannon of
the methodist episcopal church south
is appealing to the voters in behalf
of Hoover, who will keep the south
dry-as though it were dry; and
Josephus Daniels, editor of the
Raleigh News and Observer and ex-
secretary of the navy, is asking for
support of Smith on the theory that
he will not make the south and the
rest of the country wet. Meanwhile,
citizens who yield to the noise of
this controversy are forgetting
fundamental issues that challenge
all thoughtful persons in the south
Ito wit, the gouging by the power
companies, denial of the right of
workers to organize in the manu-
featuring industries and on some
railroads, and the price fixing pract-
iced by the big Five" tobacco COM
panies who buy one of the two chief
money crops Of the farmers.
Liquor sells plenteously through
out North Carolina at one Dollar a
pint; in some parts of South Caro-
lima it is reported selling at so cents
pint. Hotels, gasoline filling sta
lions and other public places are the
points of retail distribution. Thus,
while the writer was in camp at an
auto park near Durham, he was kept
awake several nights by auto parties
supplied at nearby gasoline sta
ton with a fluid derived from corn
Bootleggers, if they are not in
with the right people, occasionally
are convicted, and serve time in the
road gang. But these incidents dc
not affect the supply nor the price
