Then, the treatment OF cOnstipn-
tion, biliousness, headaches, men
tai depression, Indigestion, sour

entirely BY mean Of simple vege-
table laxatives, herbs and roots.

HOOVER FIRST
TO GREET CAL
Expects To Be Told OF
Political Affairs
Through West

WASHINGTON. Sept. 12.-tFl-
Anxious to be among the first to
welcome President Coolidge back 20
Washington after his summer in
Wisconsin, Herbert Hoover was at
Union station today for the arrival
OF the chief executives special train.
With DR.. Hubert Work, chairman
Of the republican natisaal commit
tee, who also served in Mr.. Cool
idge's cabinet, the nominee was pre-
pared to supply the president with
information as to the general polit-
ical situation, in addition he looked
to the president for reports On con-
ditions in Wisconsin anG minnesota,
which Nr. Coolidge has had eppor-
tunity to study at first hand.
Aside from today's meeting, Hoo
yer has been with the president but
once since his nomination at Kansas
City. That was nearly two months
ago when he visited the summer
White House on his way to Califor-
ma to receive official notification
OF his selection by the republican
party 20 head its national ticket.
Hoover's opinion that the general
outlook for the republican ticket in
November Is satisfactory has been
strengthened BY what he regards as
the rather astounding republican
majority rolled up in the state cleo
ton in Maine. He had looked for
something above the usual majority
Of 10000 but had no idea that il
would turn 10 twice that figure.
After leaving the president, Hoov.
er expected to go to his general
headquarters for another round ot
conferences with party leaders and
others. A delegation from the wom-
ems party headed By Alice Paul, urg-
ing him to support an equal rights
amendment TO the constitution, &C.
cupied a prominent place on his list
