SlOifest, Easiest Way
to End Bilious SPELL

When YOU neglect those first sylnp-
toms OF corstipation-bad breath,
coated tongue, listlessness. the whole
system soon suffers. Appetite lags.
Digestion slows up. You become
headachy. dizzy, bilious.
It's easy to correct sluggish bowel
action! Take a candy Cascaret to-
night. See how quickly-and pleas
antly-the bowels are activated. All
the souring waste is gently propelled
from the system. Regular and COM
plete bowel action is restored.
Cascarets are made from pure cas-
cara, substance which doctors agree
actually strengthen bowel muscles.
All drug stores have Cascarets. l0c.-

WOODCOCK LAUNCHES
NEW MERIT SYSTEM
Plan Designed to Make Dry Agents
''Best Trained Body of In
vestigators in World"

Plans to make the group Of dry agents
one of the "best trained bodies of in
vestigators in the world" have been
launched by Prohibition Director Amos
W. w. Woodcock.
The latest move by Col Woodcock is
in the form of a circular letter, ad-
dressed to all agents, administrators
and deputies, dispatched from his office,
outlining a new merit system. Under
this system a plan is set up for each
agent to attain promotion on a definite
scale
Woodcock explained in detail, with
examples, how much weight would be
given to each of the factors entering
into the making of a perfect dry agent
Not the least of these was the 10 points
allowed for the performance of an "out,-
standing accomplishment" in enforcing
the prohibition laws
ITO attain this credit" the prohibit
ton director wrote, 1.-The officer must
have demonstrated his ability and have
been the subject Of an official communi-
cation which sets forth an accomplish
ment acceptable to the rating officer"
In the scale set forth by Woodcock,
the study of criminal investigation"
and Constitution and law would count
points each, the agents term Of serv-
ice would count 2l2 points for each six
months of work, while so per cent of
each mans genertal efficiency rating
would be allowed.

Albert Einstein is a whistler, and
that the art is favorite pastime
with many musicians, artists and
sculptors.
Augustus Lukeman, sculptor of
New York and Stockbridge, Mass,
asserted that nearly every genius
whistles, and that he has heard
Einstein whistle.
Artists often induce apprentices
seeking jobs to whistle, and if they
can not carry a tune, they are not
hired, Lukeman said.
Professor Shaw rallied with a
counter attack. Regarding the re-
port that Premier Mussolini is an
excellent whistler, he said:
IF II Duce whistles, it is because
he can't carry piano around with
him. He is a musician, and it is
excusable."
But the professor found only
treason within his ranks and rising
attacks from without.

In 1928 he was campaign manager for Attorney Edward Mascolo when the latter op- posed the late James F. Glynn for congress. His interest in labor, politi- cal and fraternal affairs brought him in contact with thousands of men throughout the state.
