Daydreams are generally wishes. II
all our wishes could be satisfied we
would probably do no daydreaming.
But we are never fully satisfied. So
we take 1t out In sort OF make-believe
world. There Is hardly one Of us who
does not dream Of wealth, prestige, etc.
Daydrearns are really fancies. Do
these fancies do US any service? Ger
tainly, 50 long as they do not dominate
our lives. It Is form Of thinking
passive thinking, Perhaps some Of our
best resolutions and some, Of our best
inspirations come TO US In fancy.
Modern psychologists are correct In
their assumption that every mental
act is a plain matter Of adjustment.
The individual uses his mental powers
to assist him In getting the most out
of daily situations and circumstances.
Daydreaming Is one way Of solving
problems Of adjustment.

tanned in off1cial circles In this city, 1t
appears that some of the Southern Rep
resentatives in the House, while claim
ing to be opposed to the reopeniig of
the African slave trade, are pledging
themselves TO introduce In Congress a
bill TO repeal all the statutes on the SUBJ
iect, leaving 1t. as they profess to de-
sire, to the regulation OF the several
States.
But. as the Constitution confers on
Congress the power to prohibit the slave
trade and as death seems to be re-
garded as too severe penalty for vio-
,iating what some consider merely a law
regulating commerce. 1t is thought that
those opposed to the slave trade will
agree upon measure with Q view to
making the prohibition and abolition
more effective by certainty Of punish-
ment other than capital punishment.
Those who hold such views believe good

Prescription He Wrote
 in 1892 is the Worlds
 Most Popular Laxative

When Dr, Caldwell started 10 practice medicine, back in 1915, the needs for a laxative Were not as
 great as they are today. People lived normal. quiet lives, ate plain, whole some food. and got plenty Of fresh
 air and sunshine. But even that
 early there were drastic physics and
 purges for the relief of constipation , which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings to put into their system. So he wrote T prescription for a 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 a liquid vege- able remedy, intended for women. children and elderly people. and they need just such mild, safe, gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup Pcpsin. 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 year proves that it has won the conf- dence of people who needed it to
 get relief from headaches. bilious ness. flatulence. indigestion. loss Of
 appetite and sleep, bad breath. dyspepsia. colds and fevers.
 Millions of families are now never
 without Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. and if you will once start using it
 you will also always have a bottle : handy for emergencies.

PLAYERS ARE CLEARED
 OF SCANDAL CHARGES
sammy Bollne and Pat Duncan Awarded $50 Damages Against Chicago Publication.

l Chicago. Feb. ce.-tPrAnother i baseball scandal. nearly six years old has at last been legally squelch- ed. The suit of Sammy Bohne and Pat Duncan, former Cincinnati Reds, for libel because Of published in situations they had been approached by New York gamblers. was decided in their favor yesterday by Federal Judge Walter c. Lindley. He in structed the jury to bring in a yer dict of $50 damages each for the two players against Collyer's Eye, Chi cago publication.
 When the players attorney stated the two athletes wanted only vindi-
 cation and not damages. the case was quickly closed.
 The suit was filed September :.
 1 ?22, and the New York Cincinnati
 series on which 1t was based was
 played in August, 1922. Commission
 CT Landis was instrumental in press
 ing the suit to a verdict, as Bohnc and Duncan are now mem bers of the
 Minneapolis American Association
 team.
 The writer of the article testified
 there was no direct evidence that the players had dealt with the
 gamblers but indicated there might
 be something to it because the work
 of the players appeared not to have
 been up 10 the standard around the
 time when the charges were made.
