FAMOUS

Seldom has any single act been
OF greater benefit to mankind than
that of DR.. Caldwell in 1885, when
ne wrote the prescription which
has carried his fame to the four
corners of the earth.
Over and over, DR.. Caldwell
wrote the prescription as he found
men, women and children suffering
from those common symptoms of
constipation, such as coated tongue,
PAD breath, headaches, gas, nausea,
Dlliousness, no energy, lack OF
appetite, and similar things.
Demand for this prescription
grew SO fast, because of the pleas
ant quick way it relieved such
symptoms of constipation, that by
1888 DR.. Caldwell was forced to
nave it put up ready for use.
To-Day, DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
as 1t Is called. 10 always ready at

LIE DETECTOR" IS
BANNED BY JUDGE

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 16.-Use of
truth machine" as a means of
obtaining confessions from Grimm
ais was frowned upon by Superior
Judge Malcolm Douglas here.
Holding that Decasto E. Mayer
had been deprived of his constitu-
tonal rights and the administra-
ton of justice discredited by the
administration of "truth-compell-
ing" drugs and use of a "truth-re-
cOrding machine" to obtain an al
legged confession to the murder of
James Eugene Bassett, Judge
Douglas made permanent an in
Junction against further use of the
machine by Prosecutor Ewing D.
COlvin.
The "lie detector" used by Col
vim consisted of an apparatus
whereby Mayors blood pressure,
heart action and respiration were
recorded as he answered yes or no
to questions concerning his culpa-
bility.
Mayors attorneys contended
that the use of the machine and
adminitration of doses of scopola-
min or truth serum constituted
cruelty.

In delicate spare soil and fen,
And slender landscape and au-

1.-THE passengers who lost their lives
numbered 81. For every passenger lost
more than 1000, 900 were carried in per-
feet safety on the water.
There Is something else to be con-
sidered. OF the 81 persons who un-
fortunately lost their lives during 1928
we find that 20 were suicides and 20
were drowned accidentally, so at least
half of the fatalities-and probably
even more-had no relation to the
