Cascara is Your
Doctor sCoiice

When physicians pronounce cascara
the PERFECT laxative-why ex-
pertinent with things that lash the
system into action? Cascara, Nnu
know, is the bark OF a tree. A ma
tural and normal stimulus to the
bowels.
The Indians, who used to chew
this bark, had no word in their lam
guage that meant "constipation"!
Perfect regularity is possible to-
day, and to all Of us. We have cas-
cara in ideal form: The very de-
Misunderstanding candy Cascaret gives
us pure cascara. 1t has helped at
least million people to habitual
regularity. Millions Of others, un-
fortunately, have stuck to stronger
things and acquired only the laxa-
tive habit.

California Onion
Growers Say Texas
Favored In Freight

COACHELLA. Cal. May 23.-An
effort is being made by Urick &

with that OF Texas growers. On

phone conversation with Mr.. Hall
mark OF the Southern Pacific COM
pany, explaining the situation and
asking for immediate action by the
railroad officials. They also sent
the following telegram to Paul
Shoup. president OF the company,
who was in Washington, d. c.:
We are in immediate need of
your assistance. The Coachella VAL
ley onion crop amounting to PCS
sibly 1.7O0 al is ready to move.
but due to discriminating rates and
Texas having much cheaper rate
which went into effect July 8, 1923,
1t Is next to impossible to move
Coachella Valley onion crop in line
with eastern markets. Out rates are
out of proportion. Texas has ad-
vantage of from 10 to &c a crate.
They also have an advantage Of
$4,000 pounds minimum against co.
600 pounds minimum load for Goa
chella.
The farmers OF Coachella Valley
had disastrous season last year.
They cannot survive another. Pros
poets az present are even worse than
last season and unless we have i'm
mediate relief through an emer-
gency measure our onions will rot
in fields and the onion industry
of Coachella Valley will cease to
exist. The rates from Texas to St.

Texas minimum load 2 1900, Goa

rate should be Identical with Texas,
allowing the extra 5000 pounds TO
compensate for extra mileage. This
Is a case OF pure discrimination and
unless we can have immediate re-
lief and this order can come from
you only, every onion grower will
be out OF business and we will lose
