Runner Ray Barbuti May
Re Reinstated bv A. A. u.

Ray Barbuti, the only American run
ner to win at the Olympic games, who
has been under suspension for throw
ing mud at the A. A. U. and some OF
its approved "amateurs," may be re-
instated.
President Brundage admits that
there may be some truth in what Bar
butt said. but holds that the stories
were greatly exaggerated.
There will always be some under
cover work when large group of men
is subjected to financial temptation.
Some will fall for offers of big money.
Even if Barbuti's charge were correct
in every way there seems no real rea-
son to condemn the A. A. U. as an or
ganization. Black sheep will be found
in the big focks, everywhere.
The real people to blame and to be
punished are the promoters of events
who connive with athletes, or tempt
them with big offers.

YOU HAVE A DOCTORS
WORD FOR THIS
LAXATIVE

In 1875, an earnest young man
began to practice medicine. AS a
family doctor, he saw the harm in
harsh purgatives for constipation
and began to search for something
harmless to the sensitive bowels.
Out of his experience was born
a famous prescription. He wrote it
thousands of times. 1t proved an
ideal laxative for old and young.
AS people saw how marvelously the
most sluggish bowels are started
and bad breath, headaches, fever
ishness, nausea, gas, poor appetite,
and such disorders, are relieved by
the prescription, it became neces-
sary to put it up ready for use.
Today, DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pep
sin, as it is called, is the worlds
most popular laxative. 1t never
varies from DR.. Caldwell's original
effective and harmless formula.
All drugstores have it.
