j. Of \. MEDICAL
UNIT OPENED
BY WILBUR

UNIVERSITY, Va, Oct. %
UN.S.).-The profession of
medicine now faces a great
new responsibility forced
upon it by the rapid evolution
of a new economic order, DR..
Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary
of the Interior, declared at the
dedication exercises of the
new medical building at the
University of Virginia today.
1.-THE tradition OF the man of medi-
cine has been to make his discoveries
available to science and to every
DOCTOR" said Wilbur. Now he faces
the necessity of working out a pro-
gram which will make his discov-
cries actually available to all. We
have the facts, We have the trained
physicians and nurses, but we have
not as yet been able to meet the
ideal of seeing that each member of
civilized society obtains that ad-
vantage which is possible to him if
he can get his share from the great
pool of scientific medicine.
ITO make medicine fit in with
the other social forces so that its
distribution will be uniform. is vital
in this age of science and democ-
racy. There has been a gradual
encroachment upon the realm for
merly controlled by the beloved
family physician. The financial re-
sponsibilities of the individual ply
stefan have been markedly in
creased. The costs of his education
runs into thousands. He must have
expensive equipment and costly
places to work. Those for whom he
cares are rightfully entitled to
those surroundings conducive to re-
covery.
For each addition to the com
fort or the safety of the patients
there is a price to pay which can
not wisely be extracted from energy
or the pocket of the physician"

"They work while you sleep"

And how pleasant to take !
Candy Cascarets are made of
cascara-which doctors have for
years proclaimed one of the very
best laxatives known to medicine
-sweetened with pure cane sugar
and favored with real llcorice.
Children just love them, So do
grown-ups. for that matter. You
eat them just like candy. They
work while you sleep. Take one
when you have "sick headache
or that sluggish feeling caused by
p0or elimination; whenever you
feel that the liver and bowels are
not functioning as they should.
Cascarets will cleanse away those
poisonous accumulations and never
give YOU the laxative habit

The Washington times., 1929-10-22

Everybody's bowels need help
at times, and when they do just
take a candy Cascaret.
Cascarets always act, and they
always act the same way; one
thorough but gentle action that
cleanses the whole thirty feet of
bowels. Without discomfort, and
without harmful after-effects. You
feel all the better for the aid your
system gets from a candy
Cascaret!
Take one tonight. See how fine
you'll feel in the morning-and
for several mornings to come! A
sweet breath and uncoated tongue,
and clear eyes that tell the story
of a thoroughly >cleansed system.

ANDERSON
ASSA|LED

BOYDTON, Va, Oct. %.
Making his first political ad-
dress in the present guberna-
torial campaign, United States
Senator Garter Glass today as
sailed Henry w. Anderson in
minimizing terms and called
William Moseley Brown, coali-
ton candidate for governor,
ga political marionette."
In the main his address was a plea
for the continuation of the Demo-
cratic regime as preferable to "a re-
turn to tyranny under Republican
auspices.
Attack on Anderson
Referring to Mr.. Anderson, SEN
ator Glass said:
Colonel Anderson some days ago
at Richmond grouped me with GER
tain distinguished citizens of the
State as having accepted office
undo the patronage of the political
ring and condoned it's iniquities. 1t
may be that those tiptoeing in poll
tics and who think we should soft
pedal in this campaign would prefer
that l should pass over this impu'
tation.
But l am not here to tell the
Democrats of Mecklenburg County
bedtime stories. Hence, l shall take
leave to say that Colonel Anderson
knew his statement about me to be a
falsehood without a semblance OF
truth to justify it.
mot only was the accusation men
dacious. Even if it were true. it
had no proper relation to this con-
test"
Also AssaiIs Brown
Referring specifically to a quota
ton of DIR. Brown at Lynchburg
and Alexandria, that the Senator
had been "muzzled,,' and had sold
out to the machine" Senator Glass
exclaimed. Everybody, including
Mr.. Brown, knows it to be a lie.
Continuing, he said, There is not
an amateur in Virginia politics who
does not know that was appointed
to the Senate by Governor Davis
and have twice been nominated by
the Democratic party and elected. ="

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, April lin the midst of
protest by prisoners, who beat upon
their cell doors, whistled and shouted,
John w. Shook left his post as warden
of the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary
late last night, carrying with him a
receipt in FULL for all inmates, rec
ords and Government property at the
institution.
Shook had been popular with the
prisoners, and as the time OF his re-
tirement arrived under the terms OF his
resignation, effective at midnight last
night, the men set up a noisy protest.
Jailers threatened force before they
were quieted.
On his last day in Office the warden
made public letter he had written
Attorney General Mitchell. in which he
defended his administration and ex-
pressed the hope that the practice OF
"planting" Department of Justice
agents in the prison be abolished.
Mr.. Shook said the letter was In
reply to a telegram from the Attorney
General. in which the warden was
reprimanded for permitting newspaper
men to inspect the prison and report
ing the conditions they found. In the
letter Shook SAID ne IlaO Iedu Iii0
