FARMERS CUT THE

In 1885, DR.. Caldwell made dis
covery for which elderly people the
world over praise him todayI
Years of practice convinced him
that many people were endangering
shcir health by careless choice of
laxatives. So he began a search
for a harmless prescription which
would be thoroughly effective, yet
would neither grippe nor form any
habit. At last he found it.
Over and over he wrote it, when
ne found people bilious, headachy,
cut of sorts, weak or feverish;
with coated tongue, bad breath, no
appetite or energy. 1t relieved the
most obstinate cases, and yet was
gentle with women, children and

POLICY UNCHANGED
TOWARD RUSSIANS

washington, March IL, - The
American government is not con-

in its relationship with Russia.
The recent decision of Secretary

mean that President Hoover has
any intention of adopting a new
attitude toward the Soviet govern

or with Italy, as has been suggest
ed? Hoover and Stimson know,
but they are silent.
Has u. S. Recognized SOviets?
On December a, last, John Bas-
sett Moore, in a speech before the
Bar Association of New York City
declared that by entering into the
Kellogg pact, which the Soviet
Union ratified, 1--WE necessarily
recognized the Soviet government. :"
Moore is the author of the book
on international law which is used
by all of the state department
staff as an authority. He was
formerly solicitor of the depart
ment and more recently a Judge
of the world court. In the same
speech he attacked the Latin
American policy of the Hoover re-
gime. Stimson took occasion in
January to reply to Moore's crit
icism of his policy toward Latin
America, involving nOn-recognition
of certain governments establish
ed by revolution. But he did not
deal with Moore's attack on his
Russian policy. 1t is possible that
Stimson is now preparing to an

Hoover Bennett Arrangements
On the other hand, the agitation
in favor of an embargo on soviet
products, stimulated by the dOmes-
tic manganese and lumber produc-
ers and by anti-radical groups
has challenged Stimson to inform
himself on this economic phase Of
the soviet problem. Discovery haS
been made that Hoover talked
with Premier BENEFIT, when the lat
ter was here in February, con
cerring Benefits intention to pu
an embargo on Soviet coal, there
by restoring the Canadian marke

Italian Angle Far Fetched
The Italian angle to the stor
appears far-fetched. 1t is the sug
gestlon that Hoover and Stimso1
have been worried by the recen
Italian tendency to stand with Ger
many and the Soviet union for
revision of the Versailles treaty
and that Stimson wants to prepar
| himself to argue with Mussolini'
envoy the danger in any such Sow

Hoover Hates Russia -
One fact appears-Hoover re
i mains stubbornly hostile to an
understanding with the Soviet IN
| ion. Stimson would like to i'm
prove relations if no essential II

ident, his will prevails over Stim
sons inclinations. Stimson WI
