Failure at the shot is largely
attributable to two faults; failure to
open the face OF the club when ad-

SENATE PROBE
HITS BARNES

The searchlight OF the Senate's
lobby probe was trained today on
influences said to have been at
work to Illustrate plans Of Presi-
dent Hoover to relieve distressed
agriculture.
Turning aside from its inquiry
into sugar tariff Hobbies. the
lobby committee called julius
Barnes, head Of the United States
Grain Corporation during the war.
to answer Insurgent Republican
charges that he sought to in
fluence the policies Of President
Hover'S Federal Farm Board.
Growing out of a seeming feud
between Barnes and Alexander
Legge, chairman of the Farm
Board, the calling of the former
grain corporation chief came
after Senator Nye tR.l Of North
Dakota, declared Barnes was
waging war on Legge because he
attempted to eliminate the grain
commission middlemen." Nye
charged Barnes with lobbying
openly against grain policies re-
Gently announced by the Farm
Board, and with endeavoring to
destroy public confidence in the
board.
Nye Supported It
Tho situation was interesting,
involving support by Nye Of the
Hoover farm relief bill, enacted
after the Senate twice rejected it
in favor Of the debenture plan OF
relief which the North Dakotan,
along with other Insurgents,
warmly supported.
Nye aired the whole dispute in
the Senate, asserting he believed
the Farm Board was sincerely
trying to bring relief to the grain
growers, and charging middle
men, were sending letters out to
farmers predicting failure Of the
Governments plan for stabilize

Millions of Families Depend
on DR.. CALDWELL Prescription

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine, back in 1875,
the needs for a laxative were not
as great as they are today. Peo-
pie lived normal, quiet lives, ate
plain, wholesome food, and got
plenty Of fresh air and sunshine.
But even that early there were
drastic physics and purges for
the relief of constipation which
DR.. Caldwell did not believe were
good for human beings to put
into their systems. So he wrote
a prescription for a laxative to
be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipa-
ton that he used early in his
practice, and which he put in
drug stores in 1892 under the
name of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
PepSin, Is a liquid vegetable rem
edy, intended for women, chill
dren and elderly people, and they
need just such a mild, safe, gen.
tie bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management
this prescription has proven its
worth and Is now the largest
selling liquid laxative in the
world. The fact that millions of
bottles are used a year proves
that it has won the confidence
Of people who needed it to get
relief from headaches, bilious
ness, flatulence, indigestion, loss
of appetite and sleep, bad breath,
dyspepsia, colds and feverS.
Millions of families are now
never without DR.. Caldwell'S

Syrup Pepsin, and If you will
once start using it you will also
always have a bottle handy for
emergencies.
1t is particularly pleasing to
know that the most CT it is
bought by mothers for them
selves and the children, though
Syrup Pepsin is just as valuable
for elderly people. All drug stores
have the generous bottles. A trial
is sure to convince any household
of the merits of this famous
prescription.
