Way to Get At a Cold
Is Through the BosueLs

AS soon as you catch cold, the
pores close; perspiration is
checked. Gases and waste can't
escape through the skin. That's
why your doctors first advice in
case of colds is a mild laxative
like caScara. Medical authorities
agree it actually strengthens
bot0el muscles. You get caScara
in its most pleasant form in
candy CascaretS.
Remember this when you catch
cold; whenever breath is bad;
tongue coated; or you're head
achy. bilious, constipated.
Why resort to harsher things

EXPRESS ROADS
SUGGESTED BY
SEN. FRAZIER .
Congress Will Be Asked to
Build and Operate Them
at Moderate Toll Charge

Construction of a national Sys-
tenn Of express motorways" to
stimulate business and employ
ment and help lessen traffic and
transportation problems will be
proposed by Senator Frazier (RO !,
North Dakota, at the December
session Of Congress, he announced
today.
The highways would be built
and operated by the Government
and financed by a moderate toll
charge.
Built for Speed
The roads proposed by Frazier
would be through" highways, on
which high speeds could be safely
maintained They would be espe-
cially constructed for heavy bus
and van use. Several countries in
Europe have experimental with
such roads. Frazier said:
"A multitude of schemes are
being proposed for the relief Of
the unemployed and Of the eco
nOmic situation, but there is an
amazing scarcity of practical
plans. What the country wants
Is something that will be ef-
.fective at once.
Won't Hit Treasury
"The plan 1 propose will pro-
vide for the spending Of billions
of dollars in permanent i'm
prOvementS without taking any
money out Of the Federal treas
ury.
'It will give work to thou
sands in building the roads and
in the factories supplying the
materials. The whole effect will
be to tonic the economic struc-
ture. In addition. such SyS-
tenn of highways will so a long
way toward solving our ever
increasing automobile traffic
problem"

A home Of her own. Freedom from
the work that she hated. Freedom
from The worrlsome cough that racked
her health. aia iu .g aaY adl
1t was tempting chance. For
years Annabelle had confused her love
of Coke with a love of home--of COM
fort. of safety. To her, marriage
meant freedom from the misery Of
daily grind in factory. Freedom to
make home that would bring happi-
ness not only to herself, but to the
man who provided 1t for her.
And now here was her chance. At
once, without further delay, she could
have her home, freedom from work
she hated a chance to regain the
health she was afraid of losing. It
was too good chance. Annabelle's
longing hopes were dazed with this
chance Of frultion. at
Coke was terrified by this blow
more than by anything that had ever
happened to him, feeling the entire
meaning Of life slipping between his
heart and his fingers, but he dared
ont intercede. Annabelle was right.
Annabelle's aunt, who had long since
lost patience with Coke, was right.
The young shipping clerks name
was Macy. A nice enough boy with
lean face and nervous habit Of
blinking his eyes. When Coke first
laid eyes on him the evening that Anna
belle had told him her decision, 1t
seemed to him almost more than he
could bear. This young man was
about to inherit the earth. Coke
must go out empty-handed, empty
hearted. sf
And then, as If Fate bad not been
sufficiently content with handing him
this wallop in the abstract, there de-
veloped, in the course of the brief
conversation Coke had with Macy,
this ironical act: The money which
young Mae. ad inherited was from
a distant ulc whom he had never
seen. This uncle was an actor whom
Coke had insured ten years before.
Time after time, Coke had met
these premiums, reluctant to let the
old mans policy lapse. Meanwhile
his wife and those Immediately de-
pendent upon him died and In stepped
this lad as the only surviving relative.
Life had played boomerang to Coke,
except that the story does not end
here. Curious thing. When Anna
belle, who was not present during the
conversation between the two men
which brought about this disclosure,
came back into the room, that new look
Of decision which had been on her
face for the last few days was sudden
ly removed from 1t. Looking at her, the
two men seemed to know almost
simultaneously that Annabelle was
not going through with the engage
ment to Macy.
That is precisely what happened.
Annabelle and Coke are together
three evenings a week again. Coke,
with his kind, round face fairly burst
ing with determination, promises that
this year his deficit in his income is
to be a surplus.
They plan to be married on New
Years eve

Changing Britain" as
Seen by German Writer

have the impression that the
phrase changing England" or, better
yet, changing British EMPIRE" really
holds good, for great Transformation
has begun whose end no one can fore
see.
At the beginning of the World war,
Bernard Shaw said that 1t was terrible
difficult to hammer new idea Into
the heads of the English, but that II
was utterly impossible to dislodge an
Idea once It had entered there. II
was years before England recognized
made when 1t declared war and came
to understand that things would never
take care OF themselves again In ac-
cordance with the Old-fashiOned belief
to that defect
In like manner, It has taken England
years to understand that the end OF the
war did not mean return to prewar
conditions. Things were allowed to
proceed Of their own accord, and at
first they went Well enough, but pres
emily they began going from bad to
worse, yet nobody grew excited. Up
to year ago most people believed
that time would adjust everything, and
only few private individuals or poll
tlcIans thought that radical measures
were necessary or even desirable.
Now, however, opinion has altered
fundamentally, and the English no
longer say: at will all come right In
the end" but, Something has got to
be done" This Is vague enough
conviction. to be sure, but It signifies
a tremendous change. England has a
new Idea In Its head. and Shaw knows
