DON'T
LET q Cold Settle
in your Bowels!

Keep your bowels open during a
cold. Only a doctor knows the i'm
pOrtance of this. Trust a doctor to
know best how it can be done.
That's why Syrup Pepsin is such
a marvellous help during colds. It
is the prescription of a family doc
tor who specialized in bowel trou-
bles. The discomfort of colds Is
always lessened when it is used:
your system is kept free from
phlegm, mucus and acid wastes.
The cold is 'broken-up" more easily.
Whenever the bowels need help,
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sure
to do the work. 1t does not gripe
or sicken; but its action is thor
ough. 1t carries off all the souring
waste and poison; helps your
bowels to help themselves.
Take a spoonful of this family
doctors laxative as soon as a cold
starts, or the next time coated
tongue, bad breath, or a bilious,
headachy, gassy condition warns of
constipation. Give it to the chill
dren during colds or whenever
they're feverish, cross or upset.
Nothing in it to hurt anyone; It
contains only laxative herbs, pure
pepsin and other mild ingredients.
The way it tastes and the way 1t
acts have made it the fastest sell
ing laxative the drugstore carries!

Greatest of All
Homecoming Days

For the strictly proper observ-
ance of Thanksgiving day there
should be q real grandmother, as
old-fashiOned as the century will
permit. At her home, however un-
pretentious it may be, all the chill
dren should come together to re-
new for her the memories of young
er days when she had them all un-
der her own roof tree: when she
could go to each bedside before her
own weary body sought rest and
see for herself that they were
cozily tucked in; when she thought
it sweet to make the nightly
rounds, when all childish faults lay
hidden in sleep and the naughti-
ness had faded away with the set
ting sun, leaving only the angelic
loveliness of childhood Yes, the
grandmother is undoubtedly the
connecting link that holds families
together
Grandmother's Day.
Can't you see your own grand
mother in her kitchen, where she
likes to think she is still mistress,
even if she is not allowed to do
as much as she did in days gone
by? Perhaps she is one Of the
fortunate ones whom her children
have not killed with kindness, but
have allowed to live the wOrk-a-
day life as much as she desires and
her strength will permit. How
happy she bustles about making
pies and puddings, baking ham
equal in flavor to Charles Lambs
roast pig, preparing the turkey for
the oven, with his drumsticks
meekly folded over a well-stuffed
breast - How briskly she walks
about, her thoughts flying here and
there, gathering up lost threads in
a tapestry of memory which she is
jealousy weaving And how the
children love the day, delights of
anticipation far exceeding those
Of realization: how they watch the
pantry shelves groaning with the
weight of good things; how pene-
trating are the pungent Odors
floating on the breeze. how trying
10 their patience the endless wait
ing If the dear grandmother has
gone on TO 81 higher Thanksgiving,
the next best is the loving mother.
Thanksgiving Spirit.
1t must be a loving mother with
a heart big enough to take in all
the lonely ones who have no homes.
Around her the Spirit of Thanks
giving may safely hover and be
glad of the opportunity, for there
is less room for that spirit today
and the original significance of the
day is passing. For the athletic
devotee, it is the grand windup of
the football season. If mother con-
templates a noon dinner. it must
be early so the boys and girls may
eat and run, not realizing that to
her it is a day long anticipated for
the homecoming of the children
and the renewal of memories dear
to her heart.
Some one has said that the best
possessions of q family are it's
memories in common. There is no
legacy that can be left a child
more potent for good than the men,
ory of a happy childhood when all
the world was huge cake topped
with lighted candles. How far
those little candles throw their
beams, none can estimate.

Grange at its sixty-fourth annual
this end six suggestions were put
forward by National Master Louis
]. Taber, these being:
!. Sterilization of values.
2. A higher price level for farm
commodities.
8. More justly distributed system
of taxation.
4. Extension of the federal farm
loan system.
5. REIMBURSEMENT of the nations
freight rate structure.
6. Restriction of immigration and
conservation of natural resources.
Criticizing the speculation in
grain on the Chicago Board of
Trade, Mr.. Taber said:
"As long as this present system
remains with its violent price
manipulations it is obvious that
there must be method of protec-
ton by hedging for the safeguard
ing of the buyer and professor, but
when hedging and short selling
take the form of speculation and
gambling in the necessities of life,
the public is injured.
unfortunately for the American
farmer, our present marketing
structure operates with no concern
as to the price he receives. 1t is
sad commentary on our present
boasted wheat marketing program,
that during the recent period of
agriculture's greatest depression,
and the grain growers consequent
distress, the Chicago Board of
Trade erected a $12,000,000 build
ing, while the producer suffers near
annihilation."

PRESIDENT HOOVER in an Ar
mistice day address urged his
listeners to work continuously for
peace with the same zeal with
which Americas war dead waged
war, but he said the time has not
yet come when the United States
can rest its defense solely upon
the kellogg pact and other peace
machinery, and he also made it
clear that the United States in
tends to keep free of political pacts
that would bind it to the use of
force to maintain peace.
'The purpose of our govern
ment," the President said in ad-
dressing an audience of 5000 dele
gates attending the Good Will con-
greSS o1 the World Alliance for
Friendship Through the Churches,
lis to cooperate with others to
use our friendly offices and, short
of any implication of the use of
force, to use every friendly effort
and all good will to maintain the
peace of the world"
General Pershing, Secretary of
State StimSon and Secretary of
War Hurley all made Armistice
day talks in Washington, and all
of them pleaded for adequate pre-
paredness for national defense.
Secretary Hurley said that in
event of another war leach farm
and factory. each mill and mine,
will be required to perform its
duty to the country in support of
the soldier who faces the enemy
at the front. Never again shall
one citizen be required to give his
life in defense of his country while
another is permitted to make un-
usual profit at his cOuntry's ex-
pense."

NEWS REVIEW Of
CURRENT EVENTS
United States Contends at
Geneva for Real Reduc-
ton of Armaments.
By EDWARD w. PIcKARD


DIRECT and genuine reduction
~ of land and sea armament
was proposed by the United States
in the sessions of the preparatory
disarmament commission in Gene
va, the spokesman for this country
being Ambassador Hugh Gibson.
He was replying to Lord Robert
CeciI's speech advocating limita-
tion through budgetary curtail-
ment, and said the United States
could not accept this plan for two
reasons:
First, because it is imperative
and cannot efficiently and accurate
ly restrict the maintenance of war
material;
Second, because the congress at
Washington probably would refuse
to ratify any such agreement,
which, he said, infringes on its
rights TO make appropriations for
national defense.
The British want the budgetary
system applied to land forces but
not to navies, and they are sup
ported by France, the little en-
tente and some other nations. The
American demand is backed up by
Germany, Japan, Russia, Scandi-
navia, Holland and Canada. Maxim
Litvinov, MOscow's representative,
insisted that a direct system of
limitation of arms alone will give
IL rrfh nd IN
sisted on a dual method of iimita-
tion with the publication of COM
plete tables of war material, and a
graduated decrease in military
budgetary expenditures.
n. Sato of Japan declared that
the direct method of limiting
fighting forces was too difficult to
apply and was impossible to i'm
pose on all nations. He said: Il
think that Japan's view is that we
should be content to limit soldiers
and not attempt to limit material
by any method"
Rene Massigli of France COM
planned that Mr.. Gibson was too
severe against the budgetary sys-
TEN, but admitted that some coun-
tries military budgets do not re-
veal the exact amounts spent. He
also voiced apprehension over sub
sidized arSenals.
The French delegation then pro-
posed that a committee of experts
be named to examine both systems
and report to the governments to
give them time to make up their
minds before the disarmament con-
ference is held.

Present-Day "Turk''
of Mexican Breed?

Empty handed discouragement
would be the lot of the Pilgrim fa-
ther were he to return this year
and go in quest Of food for the
Thanksgiving table in the woods
and fields of Massachusetts.
Settlers seeking to live as those
pioneers did would find life vast
ly harder in some respects in this
Twentieth century than did the
Pilgrims in 1920. For the enOr-
nous flOcks of game birds that
were a vital source of supply for
the larder of early settlers have
vanished.
Woodlands Now Bare.
The bare and lonely woodlands
of Massachusetts today are in
contrast with the time when Obe-
diah Turner wrote in his journal,
July %, 1880, that 1--WE are of truth
in 4 paradise of those moving
things that be good for foOde"
"Incredible," is the word used by
OrnithOlOgists to describe the num-
bers of individuals in the flocks Of
birds that once rOamed the North
American continent, Of which
Massachusetts was an especially fa-
vOred spot.
Writing in 1852, Thomas Morton
said: Turkeys there are which di-
vers times in great focks have
sailed by our doors; and then a
gunne, being commonly in readi-
ness, salutes them with such a
cOurtesie as makes them take a
turne in the Cooke ROOme."
The president and council of New
England, setting forth the advan-
tages of New England as place
of abode in 1922, spoke of the
country as abounding with diver
sity of wild fowl, as turkeys, par
tridges, swans, wild geese, wild
ducks and many doves. The tur-
keys, which attain a length of 48
inches. were seen in flOckS as
great as 300 to 500. Among the
most unsuspecting of birds, they
were easily killed and an early set
tier might come home with as many
as ten or twelve as result of half
a days shooting. 1t was the orig
inal Thanksgiving bird.
Ruthless slaughter wiped out
the turkey of Massachusetts, and
most other sections Of America.
The last wild turkey known to be
captured in Massachusetts was shot
in the winter of 1S50-51 on Mount
Tom.
No True Descendants.
Millions of families this year will
feast on turkey on Thanksgiving
day. But these birds are no true
descendants of the original wild
turkey, in the opinion of such orni-
biologists as Edward Howe For
bush, former state OrnithOlOgist of
Massachusetts. Rather, the Mex
lean turkey, a distinct breed, is
their progenitor.
Other birds that once were provi-
dental sources of food for the Pill
grims have likewise been extirpated
and a number of species are eX-
tinct. Gone is the great aux, once
abundant. Likewise the Labrador
duck, the Eskimo curlew, the trum-
peter swan, the whOOping crane, the
heath hen, the sandhill crane and
the passenger pigeon have been
wiped out.

g EVEN national leaders of the

operate with President Hoover
and his administration in non
partisan efforts to stabilize busi-
ness, promote business and other
wise improve the national welfare
through legislation and they gave
assurance that the Democrats, vic
torious in the recent election, would
not attempt for the present to
change the tariff act passed last
June.
On behalf of the administration
and the Republicans in congress,
Senator james L. Watson of In
diana, majority leader in the SEN
ate, accepted and welcomed the
aid offered by the Democrats, say
ing the country is faced with
situation where the only patriotic
solution lies in cooperative action.
1t was learned at the White
House that President Hoover will
present to congress in December
large unemployment program
which will include authorizations
for new building projects that may
exceed $100,000,000. He already
had announced the administration
would ask an emergency apprO-
priation, which may reach $780,
100000, to finance an expansion of
the governments public works con-
struction program for the relief of
unemployment. Removal of time
limitations on projects now author
lied will be asked, as will new leg
islation TO remove limitations on
certain industries that are handi
capped in their desires to expand
construction efforts.
That promise of cooperation
made by the seven Democratic
leaders was not well taken by Sen
ator Carter Glass of Virginia, him
self one of the most prominent
Democrats, in so far as it affected
the tariff. He asserted that 'no
group of Democrats, however dis
tinguished or discerning, should
feel obliged to pledge their party
associates in congress not severely
to disturb the most infamous tariff
act ever enacted by a legislative
body, lest the doing of this might
upset the acQuisitive activities of
those who are thus licensed to prey
upon the American consumers"

TNDIA'S future status within the
British empire is to be worked
out, if possible, at the long await
ed "round table conference" which
opened in London. King George
himself started the proceedings
with a speech expressing his earn
est desire that the problem be set
tied in the best interests of all his
subjects, and Prime Minister Mac
Donald was then made chairman.
Seated around a great oval table
were eighty-six persons including
the princes of India, representatives
of all classes and communities of
British Indians and the kingdom
of Great Britain, and among them
were two women delegates, the
Begun Shah Nawaz and Mrs. Sub
barayan. But there was no repre-
sentative of the powerful Nation
alist Congress party which is head
ed by Mahatma Gandhi, for it had
boycotted the conference. The
many millions of Nationalists de-
mand complete independence for
India, while the other Indians,
present at the round table, all in
