Prescription He Wrote
In 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine. back in 1875. the
needs for laxative were not as
great as they are today. People
lived normal. quiet lives. ate plain.
wholesome food. and got plenty Of
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic physics
and purges for the relief of consti-
patton which DR.. Caldwell did not
believe were good for human beings
to put into their system. So he
wrote a prescription for laxative to
be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice.
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. is liquid veg
etable remedy, intended for women.
children and elderly people, and
they need just such mild, safe.
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management
this prescription has proven its
worth and is now the largest selling
liquid laxative in the world. The
fact that millions of bottles are used
a year proves that it has won the
confidence Of people who needed it
to get relief from headaches, bilious
ness. flatulence. Indigestion, loss of
appetite and sleep. bad breath. dys-
pepsja colds and feyers
Millions of families are now never
without DIR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin

tro Will stand a good chance of get
ting the California; Nevada district
convention of Kiwanis clubs in No
vembcr, 1929, if the city has Il
convention hall suitable for the
meetings. The Kiwanians would
send from 1900 to 2000 persons to
the city, the chamber is Informed.
Long Beach is now FL Centre 5
only competitor in the contest, as
other cities which were first con
sidcrcd have dropped from the run
ming. If there were suitable CON
Vcntion hall here, the choice would
undoubtedly be FL Centre as many
leading kiwanians throughout the
state seem to favor the desert city.
November would be & Hc"" =: -
orablc time here for such Il large
convention, as the lettuce season
docs not begin until December, and
hotel accommodations would be
most plentiful during the first nam
ed month. Meetings would be held
here, but it would be expected that
numbers of the visiting Kiwanians
would be put up at other towns, as
well as at the local hostclries.
Local Kiwanians and directors of
the chamber of commerce are con
fcrring as to the possibilities Of
obtaining the convention for this
city. Much favorable advertising
Of the valley would result. At that
season Of the year the alfalfa
fields would be green, Milo maize
would show it's largest heads, cotton
picking would be in progress and
lettuce would be about half grown,
with the fields green and attrac-
tive. The farms would then be at
Just about their best, as far as ap-
pcarances are concerned. 1t is pos
siblc that the county fair might be
held at the same time, as a further
means of making the Kiwanians'
visit attractive and teaching them

Nrapolitan settings and atmos-
l,hcre for Street Angel, the Fox
Film with Janet Gavnor and Charles
Farrell which comes to the Airdome
Theatre for two days starting to-
morrow, were found in Mark Twain.
1t was the inspiration derived from
n chapter in the famous American
humorist s travel book, 'Innocents
Aboard, which convinced Director
Frank Borzagc he would do well to
lay the scene Of this picture, based
on a play by Monckton Hoffe, in the
picturesque city of Naples.
Rorzage comes Of an Italian fam
lily, and though he had never been
to the land of his forcfathers him
self, he had always cherished the
hope Of some day doing a picture ON
one of the colorful towns of Italy.
Reading Twain $ memorable chap
ter on Naples fortified him in this
desire.
After Borzagc had made visit
to Italy in preparation for the pie
turc and had surveyed the ground
about the Bay of Naples, he was fur
ther enchanted with this region rs
the locale of his picture. The street
settings which he had built at the
studio and pcopled with Neapolitans
who were dancing, singing, strollng
and love-making, might well have
been described by Twain, so well do
his words, written 90 years ago, fit
these backgrounds of today.
This is conspicuously the case in
the sequence where Farrell wanders
forIornly through the teeming court
yards in search of his sweetheart,
Miss Gaynor, brushing against mul-
titudes of busy natives.
