Jockeying With the Prison Bill

A compromise prison location bill was enacted by
the senate and sent to the house. There a house bill
became an amendment to the senate bill by a vote of
IS to is and the bill as amended was passed to en-
Erossment without roll call.
The house amendment requires the prison central
kzation commission to be composed Of the board of
prison commissioners, four senator's and five rep
resentatives to complete and print its survey on re-
location and GENERALIZATION not later than Jan. 1. 1929,
whereas the original senate bill required that the
report be completed not later than three months after
the act becomes effective"
Why the ~jockeying on the part Of the representa-
tiyes? Why shouldn't the prison Capitalization COM
mission make a survey and then turn in a report not
later than three months after the act becomes effec-
tive? Why delay the relocation game?

Ten years. sir. 1t was back In 1919"
Dear mel I thought we had him cured. Just
how is he acting2"
well, sir, he has a PARKWAY look in his eyes, and
he goes about the house looking tenderly at the old
photographs of all the Shamrocks and muttering
about cardboard strake. halyards. eaffs. and sail areas.
Last night he talked In his sleep and I heard him
mention Sandy Hook several times"
"Tll be right over" said the doctor. This is truly
alarming"
Sir Crombie Iverness arrived presently at the home
Of Sir Thomas Upton and was shown to the sports
mans room at once.
Well how are you ~feeling7" asked the physician.
Pretty terrible" said Sir Thomas hoarsely. IT'S
the old weakness. I've felt 1t coming on for a long
time. I've tried to fight it off. but it's no use"
"Whatre the symptoms this time?" asked the doc
tor.
Same old symptoms" said sir Thomas. toying
with a pair Of binoculars. Constant uneasiness, in
ability to concentrate on important business matters,
dull headache"
Irritable. impatient and easily annoyed by
%trifles?"
"Im afraid So"

Hardly a wink. I just lie abed tossing and think
ing. Sometimes I fall into a brief doze and have the
most startling dream. It's always the same dream;
that's the astonishing part"
what is it?"

Nope. You've been immune a full decade. It's

They we're given life sentences In the penitentiary

Health and Right Living
By ROYAL s. COPELAND, M ID.
Former Commissioner OF Health

Recently ! read a most interesting
discussion about backache. 1t was
written by a man who has made an
intensive study of this complaint.
This article took up In detail some
Of the more common causes OF this
ailment.
The average person loc=s on back
ache as a disease. 1t is MOTT is
a symptom. In some cases it may
be merely tile result OF fatigue or
overwork. AS q rule it is a warn
ing that there is some underlying
condition which is responsible for
the symptoms.
The doctor who so ably discusses
backache clasSifies the causes. First
on the list are those due to focal
Infection. This includes the teeth,
tonsils. sinuses and iutestines. An
infection I'm any one OF these CEN
tiers might be accompanied by pains
I'm the joints and muscles. Il might
cause backache.
Second come those cases due 70
some disease OF the abdominal or
gans. Gall bladder trouble, some
infection OF the kidneys. kidney
stones. gravel. appendicitis. and
uterine disturbance or displacement
would all come under this heading.
Many cases of backache are of
nervous origin. 1t may be a pass
ing sign Of a disturbed nervous sys-
tenn.
Orthopedic conditions such as fIat
feet, fallen arches, misplaced YER
tebrae, strained ligaments. will ma
turally result i'm backache. This
form Of discomfort Is merely a re-
flex.
In women the most common cause
of backache is some disorder OF the
pelvic organs. II is wise TO find out
what is wrong.
The efficiency OF the victim,
whether a man or a woman. Is sure
TO be lesSoned II persistent backache
absorbs the happiness and vigor.
The constant. nagging down-hear-
ing, twisting, aching pain Is intoler-
able. No wonder loss or GOOD nature
and positive irritability are the ma
tural accomplishments OF this dis
tressing symptom.
But. as you see. there are so many
possible causes for backache that II
isn't easy TO get rid Of II. But In
order to do so IL will be necessary
to study the case very carefully to
locate the trouble. If you do not
find the cause at once do not be dis
couraged. There Is a cause, OF
course. and patient search viii
find Ii.

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT c. PLUNrSrER

WASHINGTON. June 3s.-For the second time
George w. Wickersham has been summoned by a
president OF the United States to quit his private law
practice and render public service.
William Howard Taft picked him to be attorney
general under his administration. Wickersham was
charged with responsibility Of seeing that the new
Sherman antitrust law was enforced.
Many and severe were the criticisms hurled at him
during the four years he headed the department Of
justice, but through 1t all Taft stood by him. And
when Taft left the White House he described Wick
ersham as the pride OF his administration.
Il venture just a thought" Taft said. that II the
incoming president could put his hand on as certainly
q successful attorney general as I have had he would
greatly rejoice"
AFTER Il YEARS
And now. some II years later. President Hoover
has called upon George wickersham to perform one
or the most important tasks that confrontS his adj
miniStration-to find a method whereby the laws or
the United States may be better enforced.
Over on Vermont avenue. in the department Of
justice. there yet remain several men who we're aSso-
ciated with WickerSham when he was attorney gen
eral To a man they agree that the president could
have made no better choice OF a chairman Of his law
enforcement commission.
They say Wickershamls judicial temperament
makes him especially suited for the kind Of a task
President Hoover has given him. Added to this is
the fact that he has been essentially a student all OF
his life.
His unfailing courtesy and kindness to even the
lowlieSt employe Of the department Of justice Is re-
membered there still. Old-timers at the department
cite many instances when wickersham endeared him
self to his Subordinates by taking time to attend to
the little things.
He was thoroughly liked and admired BY every one
with whom he came in contact.

What Dr.. Caldwell Learned
In AZ Years Practice

Dr.. Caldwell watched the results
of constipation for A years, and be-
ieved that no matter how careful
people are Of their health, diet and
exercise. constipation will occur
from time to time regardless OF how
much one tries to avoid it. OF next
importance, then, is how to treat it
when it comes. DR.. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to
nature as possible, hence his remedy
for constipation, known as Dr.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is mild vege-
table compound. 1t can not harm
the most delicate system and is not
a habit forming preparation. Syrup
Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, and
Youngsters love it. It does not grippe.
Thousands of mothers have written
Us 10 that effect.
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-
tens. In a practice Of AZ years he
never saw any reason for their use
when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin
will empty the bowels just as
promptly, more Clearly and gently
without gripping and harm to the
system.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-With the
opening fights Of Transcontinental
Air Transports coast-to-coast air

there come indications Of an en-
tirely different slant upon the new
business Of long-distance aerial
transportation.
There are Two distinct classes Of
opinion on the subject Of fast trans

that passengers always will want
The comforts and security Of riding
IN trains at night, even at a sacrl-
fee in speed. T. A. T. is only one
IF many that holds this view, for
there are six cOast-to-cOast alr-raIl
lines in operation.
The plane-train combination is a
permanent and definite thing with
H. q. T.. and its years of work and
preparation have been based on this
premise. T. A. T. realizes that there

service. however, and to this end is
lighting its airway through the
southwest. where the Journey now
IS made by train.
Then passengers will be flown all
the way from Columbus to Los An
eeles. But this viii be an optional
service. and the line expects the
bulk Of its passengers to stick to
the pIane-train method Of crossing
the continent
The other school Of opinion holds
that people in sufficient hurry to
take the air at all VIII want to travel
all the way by air, both day and
night They believe these passengers
viii not wish to bother with chang
ing to trains at night, and slowing
down their journey.
one member of this class, ap-
parenlV. is the great BOeing system,
which flies passengers and mail be-
tween Chicago and san Francisco
and between Seattle and Los
Angeles. Tt just has been learned
that on oct. 1 The BOeing System
will place IN operation a feet OF
