 Over and over, Dr. Caldwell wrote this prescription as he found men, women, and children suffering from those common symptoms of constipation, such as coated tongue, bad breath, headaches, gas, nausea, bilious ness, poor appetite, or lack of energy, etc. And it invariably relieved these symptoms so much more pleasantly, so much quicker than other things, that his patients simply had to tell other people about it.

plan approved by William Green, pres

Labor, and w. D. Mahon, president of
the Amalgamated Association of Street
Car and Electric Railway Company
Employees, for settlement of the New
Orleans trolley strike threatened to be-
come an issue on the floor of the street
Garments convention here today.
Rejection by the New Orleans strikers
of the compromise proposal approved
by Green and Mahon was said to have
divided the sentiment of the convention
delegates, some believing that President
Mahon should be upheld and others
taking the position that the striking
men should continue to receive the sup
port of the Amalgamated Association.
Mahon refused to comment on the
case other than to express disapproval
of the New Orleans unions action and
to say that when instructions from
President Green had been received the
matter would be placed before the ex-
ecutive board of the International Car
mems Union and later placed before
the convention at large.
