OTTINGER SAYS SMITH
BACKED POWER GRANT
G. O. P. Candidate for Governor Of
New York Charges Nominee
Voted for "Handout.'
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November Sine
charge that Gov. Smith as an assembly,
man voted for a water-power grant,
which Franklin D. Roosevelt, Demo-
cratic gubernatorial candidate, now
nubliclv denounces as a "handout." was
made in a speech tonight by Attorney
General Albert Ottinger, Roosevelt's
Republican rival.
1.-THE only attempt in New York State
to dispose of the public title to water
power resources" asserted Mr.. Ottinger,
was in the grant to the Long Saulte
Development Co. in 1907. My opponent
referred to 1t as 'handout,'
but he failed to mention that among
the members of the Legislature who
voted for this grant was Assemblyman
Alfred e. Smith"
The grant in question subsequently
was annulled by the courts as illegal.

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 a tree called cascara. Today, we
have the candy Cascaret.
Cascarizing the bowels never
forms a laxative habit. II already
formed, an occasional Ca~caret will
usually break the habit. For cas-
cara strengthens the muscular walls
OF the bowels. and their need of any
aid at all grows constantly less.
What other cathartit has this char
acteristic? The writer knows of
none.
An evacuation brought gently
about by cascara will. nine times
in ten. be followed by full func-
tioning of the bowels on the NOR
row-and for days after. For there
is no REACTION as with sickening
salts, or any of the man-made pur-
gatives that go through ones sys-
tenn like a bullet.

ART RELICS MAY
CONE TO AMERICA
SoRihlI Of Kaiser Hard
Pressed Financially

Hanover, Germany. Oct. S.-R-
Because Ernst August. former Duke
of Brunswick and husband OF the
former Kaiser's only daughter VIC
torta Louise. Is hard pressed finan-
cially. Germany may soon lose
valuable collection of art relics 10
America. The collection. known as
the Guelph treasure. is of early hand
wrought jewels and furniture. IN
Guiding a cupboard and other relics
brought by Henry the Lion from the
Holy Land in 1873 when he made
pilgrimage there.
Inherited Treasure
A sole heir and successor to the
Dukes of Cumberland. Ernst August
inherited this treasure. Beginning in
1896 it was exhibited for many years
at the Vienna museum for art and
industry. Later it was returned 10
the Duke of Brunswick who quietly
shipped the treasure to Switzerland
to avoid the possibility that the fed
eral art commissioner might attempt
to prevent its sale. ... ...-
Ernst August is now reported to
have commissioned an art dealer to
sell the collection to America for
310,000,oOO on the condition that i,
be disposed Of intact.
Ernst August's representative has
stated that his employer will be
forced to sell the treasure to retalr
servants and clerks whom he en-
gagged before the war on the civil
service principle.
The former Duke appealed to the
Prussian government to turn over Il
him the sequestered fortune Of KIM
George V of Hanover which wal
seized by Bismarck in 1868. This SO
called Guelph fund was first used b!
Bismarck for political propaganda
but in 1892 the sequestration wa
annulled and provision was mad
that Prussia as trustee would turf
over interest on the fund to tn
Duke of Cumberland. Ernst Angus
as the Duke of Cumberland's hei
claimed this interest but republican
Prussia denied his claim.

filling station case be reopened and

which gasoline filling stations are
permitted. and city officials do not
question the accuracy of that claim

Judge In these matters has ex.

4 MONG other things to be
found in Florida the next few
weeks which the native sons OF
California won't have will be the
greatest attraction in baseball
namely, Messrs. Babe Ruth and
Lou Gehrig of the New York
Yankees.
Should any reader care to in
dulge in light correspondence
with these two celebrities. their
address is st. Petersburg. Like

the Buster + there to engage in
the business of conditioning
themselves for the coming base
ball season.
InaSmuch as most critics of the
day expect the Yankees to repeat
in the American League this sum-
mer, it is vitality essential that
these twin-thrillers rid themselves
of any surplus fat that they may
have accumulated TO their physi-
cal frames during the winter
months so that the business of
making home runs may go on as
1t did last summer.
Babe in Good Shape
The Babe is said to be in bet
ter condition than he has ever
been. One expects the same from
his boy-friend. In fact, knowing
the Babe has a very serious pur-
pose in life, that Of making great
additions each year TO the Ruth
bankroll, and that Gehrig also has
great ambitions in life, such a
statement is not surprising.
viii the Babe and the Buster
repeat their home-run struggle of
last Year?
Take it from them, they will.
Not in the sense of a struggle
against each other, however, but
merely in the days work as mem
hers OF the Yankees in an effort
to cop another pennant.
Perhaps the Babe won't hit 81
home runs this year, and perhaps
the Buster won't hit At, but if
they do engage in another II OF
those races that had the pop-eyed
world watching them in every
game last season. the turnstiles
will click merrily again. regard
less of the fact that the Yankees
are liable to get so far in the lead
early in the season that there
won't be any race to it at all.
Al any rate, the Babe and Bus
ter are now in Florida. Ii You
care TO acquaint yourself with
their doings for The next few
weeks, you need mol become
alarmed and journey to Florida 10
zee for yourself. The public
will have enough about
hem to fully acquaint you with
heir daily vicissitudes.
