Combellack Offers
 Summer Camp
Boys Club Chief Plans to Secure Librarian-New Pro=
 gram for Youngsters

Approximately 50 junior and in Itermediate members of the Boys Club held a conference with Nicholas |Combellack, managing superintend- ent, recently. in regard to their social status which they hope to ele- vate to a more higher standard. One lad suggested organizing a
 boys summer camp which he pro posed should be entirely in the hands of the members. The sugges- tion met with the unanimous ap- proval of the youthful audience who were quick to realize the importance and value of such move.
 Before any further plans were proposed the Boys Club superin- l tendent offered to loan his youthful
 proteges as many acres of land on
 his farm at Edgcomb Manor in Cheshire as they needed. The of fer was readily agreed to and a
 committee of boys was named to ] visit the scene of their proposed camp tomorrow morning which Will
 give them a few ideas in regard to
 the layout of the land. Work or ploughing the ground and ridding the place of brush and tree stumps will be started by the boys next week.
 The land Combellack claims, Is
 very appropriate for summer camp. Close by is beautiful pond. Then, too. there is enough water to fill a tank if the boys care to build a pool in preference to the pond. That question is still in the dark.
 One lad then suggested that lobby singing be a weekly occurrence. The suggestion was carried and Combel-

lack willingly stated that from now on the boys would have their wish fulfilled. Moving pictures will also be shown twice week instead of weekly. Suggestions were being of fered readily when a little fellow wondered if it wouldn't benefit the club and boys if a new and larger supply of checkers, chess and other games be installed. This, too, was promised the boys by Combellack.
 The club superintendent then stated that he was planning to keep the club library open continuously for the benefit of the members and had decided to secure an experi- cnced woman librarian to take charge. This made a gerat hit with the boys who were all smiles and whispers.
 Combellack believes that the standard of the boys under his care at the present time is excellent and that the lads themselves are the most nections with in his long term as Boys Club superintendent.
 Only recently Howard Worth organized six or seven young mems clubs which has created more in- terest among the boys than all the games in the world. Each week the clubs meet to discuss events for the following week which generally in- cludes hike to some known desti- nation. a sojourn through some local manufacturing plant or business house and various other educational events. The Boys Club boys have certainly started the New Year off with a bang

bowel trouble

Constipation may very easily become
chronic after forty. And any continued
constipation at that time of life may
bring attacks of piles and host of
other unpleasant disorders.
Watch your bowels at any age.
Guard them with particular care after
forty. Whenever they need any help,
remember a doctor should know what
is best for them.
cdr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin"
is doctors prescription for the bowelS.
Tested by AZ years practice, it has
been found thoroughly effective in
relieving constipation and its ills for
men, women and children of all ages.
1t has proven perfectly safe even for
bellies. Made from fresh laxative
herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless
ingredients, it cannot grippe; will not
sicken you or weaken you; can be used
without harm as often as your breath
Is bad, or when your tongue is coated;
whenever a headachy, bilious, gassy
condition warns of constipation.

MIX EN- UP

"Mix 'em up" is the advice in refer
ence to foods, according to state
ment released by the PUBLIC
HEALTH LEAGUE OF WASH
INGTON. Don't eat all of any one
food but scatter your selections OF
edibles. Any variation from normal
diet should only be prescribed by
properly trained physician after a
careful study of the dietary require
ments Of the individual seeking adj
vice
Vigorous protest against food fads
and faddists, and strong statement
favoring well rounded diet for the
average individual were voiced in a
resolution passed by the Washington
State Medical Association at special
meeting held January 10th.
Very few of the food fads being
promulgated today can take the place
of the older staple foods-good meats,
dairy products. green vegetables,
fruit and the better grades of bread
prepared from white flour. The allega
ton that white bread, meat or any
other staple food, when employed in
mixed diet, is responsible for certain
grave illnesses, is not supported by
scientific facts, according to the reso-
luton, which states further:
"The exaggerated claims for various
fad foods are entirely unwarranted by
scientific evidence or practical ex-
perience; and the advertising and
other propaganda furthering their
substitution for the older articles of
diet should be condemned.
'The danger of nutritional deficien-
cies has been grossly exaggerated. No
one food is a perfect food; but diet
consisting of dairy products (espe-
cially milky, leafy vegetables, fruits,
meats and easily digested starches for
heat and energy, furnishes an excess
of all food factors necessary for prop
er growth and nutrition and resis-
lance to disease"
We would save both health and
money by sticking to the ordinary,
staple foods and by Stunning the
professional faddists.
