Doctor at 83 Found People
Preferred His Prescription

The basis Of treating sickness has
not changed since DIR. Caldwell left
Medical College in 1875, nor since
ne placed on the market the laxa-
i've prescription he had used in his
practice, known to druggists and the
public since 1892, as DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin.
Then, the treatment of constipa-
zion, b~iliousness, headaches, mental
depression, Indigestion, sour stom-
ach and other indispositions that re-
suit from constipation was entirely
by means of simple vegetable laxa-
tives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis of DR.. Caldwell's Syr-
up Pepsin, which is a combination
Of SIENNA and other mild laxative
herbs, with pepsin.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hu-
man beings to put into their sys-
tenn. If grown people want to use
them no one can deny them the
privilege, but they should never be
given to children.
The simpler the remedy for con-
stipation, the safer for the child and
for you, and the better for the gen.
eral health Of all. And as YOU can
get results in a mild and safe way
by using DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pep
sin, why take chances with strong

the ashes and embers Of the Smith
and Hoover bitterness in next
years selection of state officials.
It will be a choice between a cam
paign of rancorous personalities in
fighting " the prejudice issues,
and a turning of constructive meas
ures, the governor was told by this
democrat.
Give the people a chance to turn
to forward looking things" was the
burden of his message.
Gov. Moody's friends are predict
ing with much show Of conclusive
reasoning, that he will veto the
Writ bill.
But If it should become a law, il
was insisted by this individual, one
OF many who have asked Moody to
veto 1t, it would shut off any chance
to consider public questions other
than the personalities and the pre-
JUDGES stirred, by the national cam
paign last year.
IT 1t is put out of the way by the
veto, the people will have a chance
TO consider not only a completed
highway program. but other public
Improvement measures as well; and
1t is freely predicted the next cam
paign will be one more of policies

and less of personalities than any
for many years.
The Wirtz bill, now on Gov.
Moody's desk for disposition, would
put into the hands of the democratic
executive committee power to bar
from the primaries voters or candi-
dates unacceptable to a majority of
such committee as might be in
power at any time. If approved it
will inevitably rise as a challenge
to the "H~oovercrats" of last year,
through the very nature of the di-
visions within the party Grated by
the bolt of Gov. Al Smiths nominal
ton. it was pointed out.
If it is out of the way, the leading
issue for next years appeal to the
voters will be the question of state
policy on a completed good roads
program, a referendum to the people
on the QUESTION of good roads that
was denied them by the failure Of
the highway amendment at the re-
cent session.
Gov. Moody has declared his belief
that the sentiment of the state has
grawn steadily toward a statewide
highway program and that this
sentiment will cause the question
to be submitted two years hence and
that the highway plan will be rati-
fled at the polls.
Gov. Moody has until April 5 to
dispose of the Wirtz anti-bolter bill
and other measures of the regular
session.

ABUSE
OF LENIENCY
Suspended Sentence Often
Aids Liquor Traffic,
Prosecutor Says

Indiscriminate application of the
suspended sentence law in liquor
cases was flayed Tuesday by Dis
trict Attorney George Westervelt in
an argument to the jury in the
Ease of Juan Rodriguez, Browns
vile youth, who had plead guilty to
possession of 80 quarts of liquor
and applied for a suspended SEN
tence.
Rodriguez was arrested several
weeks ago near the city limits with
the liquor in his automobile. He
admitted the liquor was his his and
refused to implicate other persons
in connection with the tranSac-
ton. The jury returned a sentence
OF n year in the penitentiary.
Declaring that suppression of the
liquor traffic in Texas depended
upon punishment of the offenders,
the district attorney asserted that
the bootleggers and smugglers are
debauching the youth of the state.
They employ boys under Is years
Of age to handle the liquor for
them, assuring these boys that if
apprehended they will receive a
suspended sentence. Once convict
ed and placed under a suspended
sentence their value to the boot
logger ceases and other youths are
recruited to take their place"
The district attorney declared
that the "higher-ups" impress upon
the boys they employ not to divulge
their connections or the individuals
financing the liquor traffic. adding
that the habit of juries to suspend
sentences in cases of youthful Of
tenders had proved an aid to the
traffic.

final concerts in this state. She is
booked in Abilene, San Angelo,
Austin, Harlingen and one or two
others, Austin being the nearest to

That Nine. Schumann-Heink, de-
spite her SO years. is still Amer
ica's favorite is indicated by criti-
cismS appearing in New York
newspapers following a program
there recently. The following
criticism of her Is taken from the
Morning Telegraph, New York
newspaper:
And so Ernestine Schumann-
Heink returned to the character OF
days long gone. returned to the
opera house where she had become
the mightiest singer among the
c~ontraltos of her time. in many
ways the greatest singing woman in
the world.
The audience grew tence. The
face of the stern, ascetic conductor,
Bodansky, became infinitely tender.
and his baton seemed to become
flesh instead of wood. The charac-
tiers on the stage became deeply
affected human beings, fortunately
Swallowed by darkness, that their
tears might not be seen.
Like a Young Singer
I'm the voice which intoned the
mighty aria no sound of age was
present. 1t was the singing of a
woman in her prime. Within the
flaming noble measures n could
detect the emotion of the occasion.
One knew that the meaning of the
appearance, not the demands of
singing, was the thing which
clutched most wildly at the throat
of Schumann -Heink. But the aria
proceeded to its end, without a
flaw. pouring without sense of
breathing or mechanics.
IF that same aria had been sung
in that way by a young singer in
her early twenties. she would have
been acclaimed the greatest con-
traEo of our time.
IF such singing had been the
Statutory instead of the near vale
dictory. the artist who had accom-
plished it would have been the re-
cipient Of the worlds highest hon
0rS. she would have hacoroe fam
